Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman Mabel was certain that the man who was favored by her granddaughter must have some extraordinary qualities that were unknown to others . 1/12 However , she never expected that after Caroline told her all about his background , Mabel almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears . " What did you say ? He dropped out of high school and was divorced once ! " Mabel's eyes widened . Mabel thought that Alistair looked quite good , but she didn't expect his background to be so terrible . Not to mention being a good match for her beautiful granddaughter , worth tens of billions of dollars . It was God's mercy that he was not single . Mabel actually liked Alistair very much . She wouldn't look down on anyone casually .. But she still hoped that the one who stood next to her outstanding granddaughter in the future would be equally outstanding . Even if the man was not as good as her granddaughter , who was known as a genius , he should at least be almost as good . Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman 2/12 Alistair's conditions were far from those of her granddaughter . Mabel thought they could hardly be called a match . Caroline's expression turned calm . " Grandma , if you think he is not good enough , I can raise Eloise alone for the rest of my life . " This was not a threat but a statement of fact . Of course , Caroline was talking about this in front of Mabel on purpose . It was impossible to ask her to give up Alistair . A voice quietly sounded in her heart . It's impossible to give him up in my lifetime . Mabel was shocked and confused . Is it really not a case of being possessed ? For a man who has nothing good except his face , Carol even started to threaten me . I know Carol's temper . If she says so , she can definitely do it ! I don't want to say that Carol is blind in love, but I can't figure out why . There are plenty of outstanding men in this world , but why did Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman it have to be Alistair ? 3/12 Caroline sat down next to Mabel and leaned against her , as if she had returned to her childhood . " Grandma , I'm not a child anymore . " Mabel touched Caroline's face lovingly and snorted , " Yeah , my granddaughter has grown up and has been a mother to someone else for five years . " Caroline's voice was soft . " So Grandma , please trust me , okay ? " She left out the rest of her words . Trust my eye for choosing men . Mabel didn't speak for a long time . Everyone would want their children to be well . Mabel just felt that her perfect granddaughter deserved the best man in the world . She didn't think that Alistair was a bad person , but it was a fact that he didn't have a decent background , and he didn't even go to college . Mabel didn't have as many concerns as Julian , so she asked directly , " Carol , are you possessed ? You are so excellent . Why do you have to find a divorced man ? " " Grandma ! " Caroline's helpless tone carried a hint of sweetness . Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman " Don't forget that I have a daughter . ' Mabel asked , " So what if you have a daughter ? You're still a virgin . " Caroline said nothing . 4/12 Beneath the seemingly weak appearance , she was stubborn and would not listen to anyone . Mabel sighed , " Oh , forget it . I said too much , and you think I'm nagging . I don't have too many requirements . As long as you are happy , it doesn't matter if his conditions are a little worse . Anyway , our family is rich and powerful , and we don't expect him to earn money to support the family . As long as you can live. a good life , that's enough … " At this point , Mabel couldn't help but feel a little depressed . Is that just a little bit worse ? It's simply impossible to find someone with a worse background than him . " But if he treats you badly , " Mabel snorted , " then I won't be nice to him . It will be useless no matter how much you protect him ! " Caroline smiled , " Don't worry , Grandma , this day will never come . " If I didn't believe in Alistair , would I let him live in my home with us ? Although I don't know where my trust came from , I just trust Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman him . In the garden , when the wind blew , a few petals fell down scatteredly . It was so beautiful that it seemed like a paradise . Alistair took out his cell phone . Eloise was picking up petals from the ground with great interest . When she saw Alistair's camera pointed at her , she quickly made a few poses . Alistair took a lot of photos of her , some of which he took accidentally and some of which she made poses . 5/12 Julian threw the orange in his hand and said with a smile , " You get along pretty well with Eloise . " Alistair created a new album for Eloise to store her photos . " Eloise is very well - behaved and sensible . " Julian nodded in agreement . " Yeah , she is . " When Caroline brought Eloise back , she was very small and always timid when looking at others . She would cry when anyone approached her except Caroline . For Eloise , Caroline dropped out of school and took care of her day and night . That was how the cute girl grew up . But since Alistair came , Julian found that Eloise was becoming more and more lively . Julian received a call , signaled to Alistair , and walked away Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman while answering the phone . 6/12 " Dad , can you show me the photos ? " Eloise ran over to look at the photos . As soon as she ran to Alistair , she saw something , and her expression suddenly changed . She subconsciously hid behind Alistair . Alistair became alert and turned his head to look to the left . A middle - aged woman appeared in his sight . The woman put her hands in her pockets with a slightly panicked look and looked away as if nothing had happened . Apart from relatives and friends , the only people who could enter Mabel's manor were the nannies who worked there . From the way the woman was dressed , Alistair guessed that she might be a nanny . His eyes fell on her pocket . If he guessed correctly , what she put in her pocket should be a cell phone . A bold and absurd speculation came to Alistair's mind that the woman was secretly filming them ! Alistair felt it was unbelievable . Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman He was not a star , so why would the woman take pictures of him ? Alistair asked in a low voice , " Eloise , do you know her ? " 7/12 Eloise hugged his legs with a timid expression . " Yes , she said I was a burden to my mother . " Alistair was stunned upon hearing that . When he turned his head and looked at the middle - aged woman again , a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes . It turned out to be this woman ! Alistair said , " Eloise , can you wait for Daddy here ? " Eloise nodded obediently . Alistair strode towards the middle - aged woman who was about to turn around and leave . " Hey , " he called to the woman without patience . He thought women who could say such sarcastic words to a well - behaved and cute little girl were definitely not good . Besides , Alistair found her sneaky behavior suspicious . The middle - aged woman was stunned for a moment . Then she turned around and smiled respectfully on her harsh face , " Mr. Harlow , what can I do for you ? " Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman Alistair remembered that when he and Caroline came in together , it was this woman who served them water . He shook his phone and smiled helplessly , " I want to make a call , but my phone is out of battery . Can you lend me your phone ? " This was a common request . Unlike meeting a stranger on the street , Alistair was a 8/12 distinguished guest here . The distinguished guest just wanted to borrow her phone , and under normal circumstances , his request would be granted . However , as soon as he finished speaking , a trace of discomfort appeared on the middle - aged woman's face . She gave a dry laugh . " Sorry , Mr. Harlow , my phone is out of credit . " " Oh , " Alistair muttered , " what a coincidence . " The middle - aged woman breathed a sigh of relief . Alistair looked at her with a faint smile . He was smiling , but there was no trace of gentleness in his eyes . " Is it that your phone is out of credit , or the photos secretly taken by you have not been processed yet and can't be seen by me ? " Chapter 34 The Sneaky Woman The middle - aged woman was shocked and subconsciously refuted , " I don't understand what you are saying . " 9/12 Alistair was o s originally uncertain , but now , her reaction made Alistair certain that his guess was correct . She had just secretly taken photos of them . Julian finished the call and walked over , holding Eloise's hand . " What happened ? " " Dude , I don't know why she secretly took some photos of Eloise and me , " Alistair replied . Julian was confused . " Agnes , you … " Agnes Crowley had recovered from the panic she felt when she was exposed at the beginning , and she said with a sad look , " No , I didn't take any photos . Mr. Harlow is new here , so it's okay if he doesn't know me , but you know me , Julian ! " She became more and more excited . " The flowers are in bloom here , and I thought they were beautiful , so I took some pictures . Even if Mr. Harlow and Eloise were included in the picture , it was an accidental act . If Mr. Harlow insists that I took the pictures secretly , then I will have no way to defend myself . " Julian looked at Alistair in embarrassment . " Uh , is there some misunderstanding here ? " Julian felt like it was normal to take pictures of beautiful scenery . Under normal circumstances , Alistair would feel that Sneaky Woman 10/12 he was making a fuss . However , when Alistair learned what Agnes had said to Eloise and the trace of panic that she hadn't fully concealed when facing him , he was certain that there was something wrong with her . In short , he felt very uneasy as he couldn't figure out why she took the photos of them secretly . Alistair didn't waste any time and directly called Caroline . Caroline soon came to the garden with Mabel behind her . At this time , Agnes had already started crying . She lowered her head and wiped her tears , looking extremely aggrieved . For those who didn't know the whole thing , it almost seemed like Alistair was a villain who was cocky here . He thought that since he married Caroline , he could take advantage of his power and step on others at will . Mabel asked with a confused look , " What's going on ? " Agnes sobbed and repeated to them what she had just said to Julian . She also said that she had never been wronged like this before , and she wanted to resign . After learning about this matter , they felt like Alistair was relying on his status to make trouble unreasonably . hapter 34 The Sneaky Woman Mabel was in deep thought and did not express her opinion immediately , so Julian maintained a neutral attitude . 11/12 Caroline then said , " Could you please take out your phone and show it to us ? If my husband wronged you , I will apologize to you on his behalf and give you ten years ' salary as compensation . What do you think ? " Alistair looked at Caroline in surprise . She didn't even ask him before making up her mind . Perhaps the compensation of ten years ' salary was not worth mentioning in her mind with her annual income of nine figures , but it had nothing to do with money . Anyone could understand Caroline's trust in Alistair . Agnes stammered , " M - My phone is out of battery . " Alistair bluntly exposed her lies . " You just said your phone was out of credit , and now it's out of battery ? No matter how coincidental , everything can't happen at the same time . " Mabel also stared at Agnes . She was usually kind and easy - going , but that didn't mean she was stupid . Agnes ' unnatural look was enough to show that she had . something to hide . Wom an 12/12 Mabel was about to say something when Caroline glanced at Agnes indifferently . " I'll give you an opportunity to tell the truth . Three , two , one . Sorry , you missed it . " Agnes was stunned . Alistair tried to hold back his smile . In just a second , Caroline finished her countdown , and she had no intention of giving Agnes any chance . In the cool and comfortable spring , Agnes ' forehead began to sweat .
