Chapter 749
Carolyn stood up as she spoke, her slender figure standing in front ofJasper as if she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Jasper, why haven't you come back to Urgford all these years? Momand Dad miss you so much," Carolyn asked.
"Sis, I... I actually saw Mom and Dad a while ago. They were just toobusy to tell you," Jasper replied, feeling guilty as he looked at hissister's shocked expression.
“It's okay. I've been busy too," Carolyn took his hand. "It's getting latetoday. How about we have dinner together tomorrow with Mom andDad? We haven't had a family gathering in a long time."
When Katie saw Jasper's familiar face, her facial expression twistedslightly. “It's you!"
Especially when she saw how affectionate Carolyn was towardsJasper, Katie immediately became unhappy and said to Carolyn,"Sister-in-law, do you know? He was with that couple on the plane whohumiliated me and bullied me."
Carolyn smiled elegantly. "Katie, he is my younger brother Jasper - theyoung master of the Howlett family. Maybe it was just amisunderstanding before. You've never met him before so let meintroduce him to you."
She then turned to Jasper again and said, "Jasper, this is Katie; shehas a bit of childish temper sometimes, but let's forget about whathappened before.”
Katie's face looked unpleasant; who wanted to forget? She wouldremember it for life.
How could such an unrefined man be the young master of the Howlettfamily?
She had always looked down on Carolyn because everyone knew thatalthough she appeared as the eldest daughter of the Howlett family butthere was no blood relation between her and them. Mrs. Howlettadopted her after suffering from miscarriage for many years withoutbeing able to conceive again until someone told her that adopting achild might help bring out her own child.
So Mrs. Howlett went through great lengths selecting from numerousorphans until finally choosing Carolyn whom they raised carefully intobecoming an elegant lady.
Carolyn also had good luck; she and Lukas grew up together, fell inlove, and got married. The Mcguire family acknowledged Carolyn astheir daughter-in-law for the Howletts' sake.
Especially Carolyn, who has proven to be highly capable. Ever sinceLukas was confined overseas, the old Mr. Mcguire's health has been ina state of decline. The Mcguire Group has relied solely on Carolyn.She has managed the organization efficiently, and despite Lukas beingat a disadvantage, the company's stocks have not dipped. On thecontrary, they have flourished, which infuriated those individuals whowere attempting to undermine the Mcguire Group.
"Mr. Howlett, you must apologize to me," Katie stood behind Carolynwith a proud expression on her face and said, "I'll let it go if youapologize to me for my sister-in-law's sake."
Jasper couldn't be bothered with her antics. If it wasn't for Carolyndoing everything for them, would this so-called princess of the McguireGroup dare act so arrogantly in front of him? Did she ever think aboutwho enabled her lavish lifestyle?
"Miss Mcguire, since you're showing your sister-in-law so muchrespect, why don't you stop spending all of her hard-earned money?""You!" Katie turned red with anger; Jasper was clearly trying to stir uptrouble.
"Jasper, why don't we all have dinner together?" Carolyn calmlysuggested while trying to diffuse the situation.
Although Jasper wanted nothing more than to be alone with Carolyn,he shook his head because Franklin and Sylvia were there too. "Let'sdo it tomorrow night instead. I want to eat dinner with my friends now."Katie sneered, "Friends? Who doesn't know that you ran off into somesmall clan as an errand boy? You're really overestimating yourself bycalling them your friends!"
Jasper furrowed his brows but before he could say anything Carolynspoke up coldly, "Katie! What's your manners? What makes you insultmy brother like that? Let me tell you something: no matter who he isfriends with or what he does - He will always be the Howlett family heir!That is an unchangeable fact!"
Upon hearing Carolyn speak in such a stern tone, Katie frozecompletely.
Carolyn had always doted on her even when she acted out, but now,Carolyn scolded her fiercely just because of Jasper. Katie neverexpected that kind of reaction from Caroline towards anyone especiallyherself
The French restaurant was doing well, with plenty of customers. Thegroup of them looked like they were dressed to impress and had caughtthe attention of many people.
One of the young men who came with Katie and Carolyn quickly spokeup, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Katie has a bad mouth, but she didn'tmean any harm."
He then pulled on Katie's arm and gave her a look, "Why don't youapologize?"
Katie reluctantly glanced at the young man named Kareem.
