Chapter 238

Frowning, Caroline turned around to find that Eddy had followed her.

Adrian also spotted Eddy. Faced with Osbury’s most respected scion, he nodded indifferently. “Eddy,”

“When did you get here?” Eddy asked as he reached out for Caroline.

He wanted to show that Caroline was his, but Caroline shook him off. She even moved to stand behind Adrian, obviously unwilling to stand with Eddy.

Eddy was sure that she was doing this to make him mad. His gaze darkened as he looked at her in warning.

Eddy’s expression turned even darker when he saw that. “What do you mean by this, Adrian?”

“I don’t think you two got into a fight.” Adrian chuckled sunnily.
