Caroline was shocked. "I thought that by standing up for me, you acknowledged me?"
George broke free from her embrace and jumped far away. He looked at her with disdain and said, "I just didn't like Kelly's way of doing things and the fact that she lied to me, so I wanted to punish her. Helping you get your things back was just a convenient way."
Caroline looked at his reddened ears with interest. She did not expose his embarrassment. She just sighed sadly. "I was very happy at first and thought that I finally got your recognition. It turns out that I was happy for nothing."
Seeing that she was frowning and seemed to be really troubled, George could not help but frown. He then snorted coldly. "Even if you've cleared your name, it's still too early for you to enter our Anderson family and get my acknowledgment."
"But my engagement with your brother is next week." It meant that no matter whether he admitted it or not, he couldn't change this fact.
