章節 56: The Appearance

"Austin, is what Caroline said true?" Old Lady Campbell looked at Austin and Kelly with a serious expression.

Austin glanced at Kelly. Under her pitiful gaze, he was about to admit their relationship when Mrs. Campbell suddenly stood up and said, "Mother, today is Austin's birthday party. The guests are still waiting to cut the cake." She tactfully reminded her to wait until the banquet was over.

After knowing that Caroline was no longer of use to her, Mrs. Campbell wanted to climb up the social ladder again. That was why she asked Austin to publicly break off the engagement. Therefore, she was very unwilling to see Austin and Kelly's affair be exposed. This would not only affect Austin's reputation, but it would also affect the candidate for his wife.
