Chapter 8: Conflict

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the Lambert family’s villa, they were having a warm dinner. At the dining table, Balor and Aubrey were comforting Kelly.

Aubrey moved the cut steak in front of Kelly. “I’ve already asked the caretaker to retrieve the surveillance video and delete it. She can’t threaten us with anything anymore.”

Kelly’s eyes flashed with joy, but she pretended to be hesitant. “But my sister was indeed treated too badly by them. I think we should give her a formal apology.”

“This is also the reason why she has offended too many people and is not popular. They can’t be blamed for being harsh.” Balor thought of the phone call in the afternoon and the 40% shares, and he was even more dissatisfied with Caroline.

“But…” Kelly was still hesitating.

Balor said directly, “They are all people who have business dealings with the company and are on good terms with the Lambert family. We should be more magnanimous. We shouldn’t make everyone unhappy just because of a moment’s anger.”

“What if Big Sister is not willing? She’s been through so much,” said Kelly, troubled. “She’s not being treated fairly. How sad must she be?”

Seeing how worried she was, Aubrey felt extremely touched. “If only Caroline could be as understanding as you.”

Balor snorted coldly. “She’s already 18 years old. She’s not young anymore. The Lambert family raised her to this age, but she doesn’t even care about the family’s interests. Then, I can only use the Lambert family’s rules to discipline her.”

Caroline, who had just stepped into the door, heard this and shivered.

The word ‘family discipline’ that Balor had mentioned was the shadow that had been cast on the little girl in the past. In the past few years, Balor had used the word ‘family discipline’ to wave his long ruler at the original owner many times. He had punished her physically and even beat her until she could not get out of bed.

Thus, when she heard the word ‘family discipline’, the stress reaction in her body was transmitted to Caroline’s mind, and she was instantly afraid.

Caroline composed herself. She was a female general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield. How could she be afraid of this small ruler?

Kelly was sitting facing the door, so she immediately noticed Caroline. She narrowed her eyes and continued to add oil to the fire. “But as you said, Sister is already eighteen years old. She has already grown up and has her own ideas. If she insists on doing this, we can’t force her.”

Kelly’s original intention was to remind Balor that Caroline was going to break away from his control when she grew up. However, she did not expect the words ‘eighteen years old, make her own decisions’ to stab into Balor’s lungs.

Balor slammed the table in anger. “Even if she is 38, I, as her father, have the right to discipline her, let alone 18!”

At the thought of this, he recalled the caretaker’s call to say that Caroline had run out of the hospital and gone missing.

“Wells, quickly bring me the ruler. I’m going to properly teach this insensible Young Miss Lambert a lesson today!”

The butler, Wells, immediately handed him the ruler hanging on the fireplace. At this moment, Kelly ‘coincidentally’ saw Caroline standing at the door.

“Sister, you’re back.”

“What time is it now?” Balor clenched his ruler and turned his head abruptly. He roared, “Do you still know how to go home?!”

Caroline crossed her hands. “This is my home. Of course, I know to come back.”

Balor looked at Caroline. She actually dared to look him in the eye. The shock and discomfort he felt from her were even stronger than when he was on the phone.

“You didn’t even greet your elders when you came home. Is this the etiquette you’ve learned for so many years?” He waved the ruler in his hand and strode over.

He would let him see if this useless daughter of his was really out of his control.

Caroline looked at the ruler, but she didn’t move her feet. The scene of the little girl being beaten up repeatedly appeared in his mind.

She told the little girl in her heart, “Just watch. Watch how I break out of that cage that imprisons you.”

One wanted to test her, while the other was waiting to counter his moves. Balor raised his ruler high, and Caroline’s right hand was ready to strike.

“I’m sorry, did I disturb you?” A voice suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the tense situation.
