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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sis, 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.

"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. | 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.
