Chapter 69 Lies
After coming out of Abigail’s office, James received a call.

The woman on the other end of the phone asked coldly, “Have you got the invitation letter?”
James looked around and whispered, “Abigail refused to give it to me. Don’t worry. I still have a daughter. I will definitely get the invitation letter!”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. “Good. This is Edward’s best chance to enter the upper class. You must make it!”

After that day, James had never come to Abigail again.
Abigail was delighted, and she handled her work faster than usual. But when it was almost noon, she became a little
absent–minded.
She thought, “Should I go to the hospital to visit Adela today? How is she recovering after being transferred to the general ward?”
Abigail wanted to visit Adela, but she was afraid that her sudden visit would bother Adela and her family. In the end, emotion overcame reason, and Abigail decided to go to the hospital.

Caroline, James, and Natalia walked out of Claudia City Hall.
Looking at the document in her hand, Caroline finally felt relieved. For convenience, she did not change her surname, but she was now a real member of the Winchester family.
Caroline smiled sweetly. As soon as she came out, she took James and Natalia’s hands and said, “Mom, Dad, I will definitely love you in the future and make up for our missing time over the years!”
Because Caroline still concealed the fact that she was pregnant, Natalia was a little displeased, and her face was gloomy.
James smiled, “Caroline, now you are the young lady of our family. It’s time to put your marriage with Felix on the schedule.”
James would definitely make a connection with the Fitzgerald family. Abigail had broken up with Felix, and Caroline had to marry Felix.
Caroline’s smile froze when she heard this. She had sensed Felix’s indifference and impatience towards her recently, and Felix had never said that he would marry her.
However, Caroline could tell this to James. Thinking of the baby in her belly, Caroline became confident. She said calmly, “Felix is discussing the wedding date with his parents.

“But the previous wedding was too embarrassing. His parents hesitated, so the wedding may have to be postponed.”
For a moment, Natalia felt a little guilty. She thought, “It’s my fault. I was too careless to bring the wrong child. I caused Caroline to suffer for so many years.
Now that Caroline has finally come back, she still faces many obstacles when she wants to marry the man she loves.
And these obstacles are actually caused by Abigail, the girl I brought up.”
Natalia had been somewhat dissatisfied with Caroline’s
pregnancy before marriage, but now she only felt sorry for Caroline.
Natalia comforted Caroline gently, “It doesn’t matter if it’s later. You’re not even three months pregnant yet. It would be safer for you to hold the wedding when the baby is in a stable condition.”
Caroline nodded. “I know, Mom. I’ll be careful!”
Seeing Caroline being so sensitive, Natalia felt even more guilty.
James was not in the mood to hear this. He said, “It doesn’t matter when the wedding is set. The key now is to get the invitation letter for Envision Group’s anniversary celebration.
“If I can’t get the invitation this year, I’ll be so embarrassed. Caroline, have you asked Felix? What did he say?”

Looking at James‘ eager eyes, Caroline felt even more nervous. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze and whispered, “Felix said he didn’t have any extra invitation letters.”
In fact, Caroline had not mentioned this to Felix, who had been getting tired of her lately. Caroline would not bother him with such a trifle, so she simply lied to James.
James didn’t believe Caroline. “Don’t fool me. Did you ask Felix about this? I heard that Mr. Fitzgerald from Veridon will attend the banquet this time. The Harrison family and the Fitzgerald family are old friends. As long as Felix asks for it, he can definitely get some invitation letters.”
Caroline was puzzled, thinking, “Mr. Fitzgerald from Veridon is coming. What does this have to do with Felix? It’s not Felix who invited that man.
Anthony has the final say on the anniversary celebration. Felix can do nothing about it.”
Caroline was annoyed, but she dared not show any impatience. When she was thinking about how to get away with it, her mobile phone rang.
