Carolyn stood up as she spoke, her slender figure standing in front of Jasper as if she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Jasper, why haven't you come back to Urgford all these years? Mom and Dad miss you so much," Carolyn asked.
"Sis, I... I actually saw Mom and Dad a while ago. They were just too busy to tell you," Jasper replied, feeling guilty as he looked at his sister's shocked expression.
"It's okay. I've been busy too," Carolyn took his hand. "It's getting late today. How about we have dinner together tomorrow with Mom and Dad? We haven't had a family gathering in a long time."
When Katie saw Jasper's familiar face, her facial expression twisted slightly. "It's you!"
Especially when she saw how affectionate Carolyn was towards Jasper, Katie immediately became unhappy and said to Carolyn, "Sister-in-law, do you know? He was with that couple on the plane who humiliated me and bullied me."
Carolyn smiled elegantly. "Katie, he is my younger brother Jasper - the young master of the Howlett family. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding before. You've never met him before so let me introduce him to you."
She then turned to Jasper again and said, "Jasper, this is Katie; she has a bit of childish temper sometimes, but let's forget about what happened before."
Katie's face looked unpleasant; who wanted to forget? She would remember it for life.
How could such an unrefined man be the young master of the Howlett family?
She had always looked down on Carolyn because everyone knew that although she appeared as the eldest daughter of the Howlett family but there was no blood relation between her and them. Mrs. Howlett adopted her after suffering from miscarriage for many years without being able to conceive again until someone told her that adopting a child might help bring out her own child.
So Mrs. Howlett went through great lengths selecting from numerous orphans until finally choosing Carolyn whom they raised carefully into becoming an elegant lady.
Carolyn also had good luck; she and Lukas grew up together, fell in love, and got married. The Mcguire family acknowledged Carolyn as their daughter-in-law for the Howletts' sake.
Especially Carolyn, who has proven to be highly capable. Ever since Lukas was confined overseas, the old Mr. Mcguire's health has been in a state of decline. The Mcguire Group has relied solely on Carolyn.
