Chapter 749

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.

She has managed the organization efficiently, and despite Lukas being

at a disadvantage, the company's stocks have not dipped. On the

contrary, they have flourished, which infuriated those individuals who

were attempting to undermine the Mcguire Group.

"Mr. Howlett, you must apologize to me," Katie stood behind Carolyn

with a proud expression on her face and said, "I'll let it go if you

apologize to me for my sister-in-law's sake."

Jasper couldn't be bothered with her antics. If it wasn't for Carolyn

doing everything for them, would this so-called princess of the Mcguire

Group dare act so arrogantly in front of him? Did she ever think about

who enabled her lavish lifestyle?

"Miss Mcguire, since you're showing your sister-in-law so much

respect, why don't you stop spending all of her hard-earned money?"

"You!" Katie turned red with anger; Jasper was clearly trying to stir up

trouble.

"Jasper, why don't we all have dinner together?" Carolyn calmly

suggested 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's

do 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 some

small clan as an errand boy? You're really overestimating yourself by

calling them your friends!"

Jasper furrowed his brows but before he could say anything Carolyn

spoke up coldly, "Katie! What's your manners? What makes you insult

my brother like that? Let me tell you something: no matter who he is

friends 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 froze

completely.

Carolyn had always doted on her even when she acted out, but now,

Carolyn scolded her fiercely just because of Jasper. Katie never

expected that kind of reaction from Caroline towards anyone especially

herself

The French restaurant was doing well, with plenty of customers. The

group of them looked like they were dressed to impress and had caught

the attention of many people.

One of the young men who came with Katie and Carolyn quickly spoke

up, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Katie has a bad mouth, but she didn't

mean any harm."

He then pulled on Katie's arm and gave her a look, "Why don't you

apologize?"

Katie reluctantly glanced at the young man named Kareem.
