Sir Smith watched as his usually proud grandson knelt before him for the first time, a hint of complexity appearing in his cloudy eyes.
“If the condition for me to invite Caroline out is to deprive you of your position as the heir of the Smith family, would you be willing?”
Travis did not hesitate and nodded.
“I was willing.”
Sir Smith took a deep breath and nodded in Travis’s hopeful gaze.
“Okay.”
Travis stumbled three times in a row. Just as he stood up, perhaps due to consecutive sleepless nights and being hit, he instantly fainted.
It should be noted that Travis used to have a very strong physical fitness, so he wouldn’t faint from being hit a few times.
Sir Smith couldn’t bear it anymore. He waved his hand, signaling Sebastian to urgently take Travis to the hospital.
After Travis fainted, he felt like he had a dream.
In the dream, he went back to five years ago, and Caroline accompanied him to the church to pray.
Travis suddenly embraced Caroline and anxiously said, “Caroline, I will take you to get the license right now! How about we have the wedding tomorrow?”
“I didn’t want to marry you, you would betray me. I prayed now, to never see you again for the rest of my life…”
Travis’s tall figure suddenly trembled, and he grabbed her hand, his eyes turning red as he pleaded, “I wouldn’t betray you, I have already changed…
He wanted to reach out and hug Caroline, but Caroline took a few steps back, sneered at him, and then turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
Travis cried in great sorrow,
This was the first time he truly felt heart–wrenching pain.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and a pungent smell of disinfectant water hit him.
Chapter 17
Sir Smith glanced at him, his voice hoarse.
I called Caroline and she said she could meet you, but the condition was that you had to bring Brandon along.
However, she didn’t have time these past few days and could only be available three days later at
noon.
Pausing for a moment, Sir Smith squinted his cloudy eyes, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
“Are you sure you want to go see her? If you agree, I will now publicly announce the deprivation of your position as the heir,”
“Travis, you were emotionally fickle, capable of picking up but unable to let go. Such a person like you was not a good material for being an heir.”
This was Sir Smith’s second inquiry.
Even though Travis knew he was stubborn and the consequences it would bring, he still persisted.
“William, I wanted to see her. Without her, I would die.”
“Okay.”
That evening, Sir Smith announced to the public that Travis was no longer the heir of the Smith family.
Caroline was having dinner with Brandon when she received the news, Layla called.
“Caroline, have you heard the news? Sir Smith just announced that Travis is not the heir. It seems like Sir Smith is extremely disappointed in him.”
Caroline lowered her gaze and paused her action of drinking soup.
When Sir Smith called her in the morning, she completely let go of her dignity.
He first apologized for Travis‘ behavior and his own, and then sincerely hoped to meet up with him in order to completely break his heart.
Caroline was well aware of how the Smith family and the Brooks family had become so unbearable.
If she didn’t step forward, the relationship between the two families could have continued to deteriorate.”
So she agreed to meet Travis with Sir Smith, on the condition that she had to bring Brandon along.
Chapter 17
June’s
Caroline lowered her gaze slightly and whispered, “It is said that when Sir Smith was young, he single–handedly turned the declining Smith family into a profitable one, so naturally he has his remarkable skills in managing people.”
On the other end of the phone, Layla agreed wholeheartedly.
There was also a melon. Edward recently sold Stella to a wealthy man in his fifties for seven million. That wealthy man had a beer belly and yellow teeth.
Stella was forced to get married to a nouveau riche, and it is said that she went crazy several times on the day of the wedding, causing the police to be called.
“Believe it or not, netizens captured photos of her crying heavily in front of the City Hall, her tears streaming down like pear blossoms, evoking sympathy.”
Caroline had not spoken yet when Brandon, who was beside her, picked up a piece of braised chicken wing and offered it to her, with a slight lift of his thin lips.
The pitiable person must have something detestable about her. She cried in a way that evoked sympathy, and later there were times when she cried.
Three days later, Travis was also not idle when the time came to meet.
In order to show his determination to make amends, Travis had a contract drawn up by a lawyer to transfer ownership of all the properties and luxury cars.
Just by signing her name, all of his possessions would be transferred to Caroline’s name.
Then he went on to find out Caroline’s preferences and secretly did his homework.
After finishing these tasks, it was already the third day. Travis got up early, dressed up, and followed Sir Smith to the appointment.
A five–star hotel, a certain private room.
Travis looked eagerly at the door, holding a Bugatti purchase contract in his hands.
The waiter opened the door, and two tall figures walked in.
Caroline and Brandon held hands, both dressed in understated matching shades of gray, radiating an aura of happiness.
Caroline sat down and nodded gently towards Sir Smith.
Travis looked at Caroline’s cold face, his heart felt like it was being gripped by something, hurting so much that he couldn’t breathe.
Chapter 17
Since then, she would never laugh at herself again.
Travis took out the transfer contract and then took out a handwritten page about Caroline’s preferences. His voice hoarse, he said, “Caroline, look, I really have changed for the better.”
“I sincerely and wholeheartedly ask you to reconcile with me, can you believe me this one last time?”
