Chapter 14: Identity

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Kelly saw Caroline, she was reminded of last night’s incident. Seeing Caroline’s eyes drifting away, Kelly couldn’t help but glare at Caroline. Then, she saw Caroline’s face covered in sweat. It was obvious that Caroline had just been through intense exercise. Something flashed across Kelly’s mind, and she immediately had an idea.

“Sister, you’re up so early to train. You’re too self-disciplined and hardworking. I should be learning from you.” She had a gentle smile on her face again, as if nothing had happened.

Caroline’s eyebrows didn’t even move. She completely treated her like an invisible person and walked past her.

When Kelly saw that Caroline didn’t take her seriously at all, she thought that Caroline was too arrogant. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

‘Don’t get angry, you’ll lose if you get angry!’ Kelly comforted herself in her heart and suppressed her anger. She pretended to be casual and said, “But Sister, even if you want to exercise, you have to control your body. Austin has never liked girls who are too fit. If you accidentally practice it too much, you will only make him dislike you even more, and that would not be good.”

She was trying to show off her intimacy with Austin and use it to provoke Caroline. After all, Caroline was always teased by Austin in order to please him and cater to his preferences, causing her to become a joke more than once.

Caroline stopped walking as she wished.

‘Hurry, hurry up and show me your resentment. Let me see your face that’s full of bad luck. I’ll set you up again, and you can go out and make a fool of yourself again.’ Kelly was screaming and hoping in her heart.

However, Caroline, who turned around, did not show any sadness or disappointment. Instead, she looked at her with a faint smile. “To be honest, I kind of pity you when I see you like this.”

“What?” Kelly almost burst out laughing. Did Caroline know what she was talking about?

Who did she pity? What kind of joke was this? She, Kelly, actually needed the pity of an unlucky woman like Caroline?

“Sister, did you not sleep well last night?” she asked. Was that why she said such a ridiculous thing?

Caroline said calmly, “You’ve worked so hard to hook up with Austin. The only thing you’ve done is to expose an affair to the public. Austin has been saying that he wants to break off the engagement all day. Then, why hasn’t the Campbell family done anything?”

Kelly’s expression changed. Of course, she knew why. It was because Austin’s mother was not very satisfied with her, which was why they were so reluctant to give in.

This was also the reason why Kelly did not dare to be together with Austin openly.

On the surface, she told Austin that she had to care about Caroline’s dignity, but in reality, she was afraid that she would end up with nothing. Not only would she not be able to enter the Campbell family, but her reputation would also be ruined. This would prevent Caroline from finding another excellent target.

However, Kelly had always been headstrong and would not show her fear in front of Caroline. “Sister, what do you mean? I don’t really understand. I believe that Austin has the ability to handle everything.”

At this moment, Austin was welcomed by someone. Kelly jogged down and waved at him. “Good morning, Austin. You will fulfill your promise to me, right?”

Austin was confused and did not know what she meant, but he still replied out of habit, “Of course, I will do it.”

He saw the dark circles under Kelly’s eyes at first glance and asked with concern, “What’s troubling you? You didn’t sleep well last night?”

“It’s all your fault for rushing me so early. I didn’t even have time to put on pretty makeup.” Kelly stuck out her tongue in a cute manner and then complained, “It’s not a big deal. Last night, my sister said that she wanted to change rooms with me, so I changed a place to sleep at the last minute. I’m not used to it.”

Austin’s eyebrows shot up. “She’s bullying you again, right?”

Kelly quickly stopped him. “No, she just saw that my room has good lighting and said that it’s more suitable for recuperating, so she changed it.”

“Did you hear what you just said?” Austin patted her hand and said, “You can’t just do whatever she says. She just thinks that you’re easy to bully, so she’s been holding onto you.”

Kelly pretended to hesitate. After a while, she said, “But Sister is telling the truth.”

“You’re just too kind.” Austin looked at her angrily. “I’ll get justice for you.”
