The female supporting role in Quick Wear fell in love at first sight again

Chapter 129 The Substitute Little Princess 16

Field had a generous and elegant smile on his handsome face. He had one hand behind his back and the other on his chest. His figure was tall and slender, like a mysterious vampire from the Middle Ages.

"Mr. Field is a truly elegant gentleman, Anna, isn't he?"

Mrs. Whit winked at Anna, who immediately responded.

"Yes, Madam Josephine is truly a master of parenting, having raised a gentleman like Field. I also admire your parenting methods and would like to ask you for some advice. I wonder when we can go to Otling City to have a chat."

The city of Otling is a city area that belongs exclusively to the VON family. Only people from the VON family can enter the city of Otling. Old nobles like the VON family have their own territories and are not subject to any jurisdiction in their own territories. Even the law cannot shake their authority. Anna's father, the old duke, is the lord of the city of Otling.

Being invited into the city of Otling is an immense honor for everyone. If you can get the support of the VON family, it is like having a ladder that leads directly to the top of power.

Josephine glanced at Field, her heart beginning to waver. If she could get the old duke's support, Field's campaign would be halfway successful. However, Anna extended an olive branch to them, and she must have other purposes, definitely not just to help them.

Tao Yao carefully noticed a dark light flashing across Field's eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and then the next second he returned to being an elegant gentleman.

“Mother, what do you think? I like Miss Anna’s proposal very much. It’s better than ours.”

Josephine bit her lower lip in embarrassment, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Anna and Whit's purpose was definitely not simple. If she rashly agreed, she would probably get them into trouble.

While Josephine was thinking, a beautiful figure came quietly.

"Since Miss Anna invited us, we naturally have to go. I accepted it on behalf of my sister."

Josephine frowned and glared at the visitor, "Pauline, don't make the decision for me."

The woman named Pauline covered her lips with the folding fan in her hand, leaving only a pair of charming eyes exposed.

"I'm Pauline, Lady Josephine's sister."

Field nodded and smiled as he greeted Pauline, "Aunt."

Pauline slammed the folding fan in her hand shut and patted Field's arm playfully.

"Field, you look even more handsome and charming after not seeing you for a few days. I saw a lot of girls staring at you on the way here."

After Pauline finished speaking, she didn't care about everyone's reaction. She behaved boldly and openly, which was completely different from the conservative and rule-abiding Lady Josephine. It was hard to imagine that the two were sisters.

But if you look closely, you will find that Pauline's facial features are very similar to Lady Josephine's, except that her expressions are richer, and her every move reveals the charm of a mature woman, like a rose in full bloom, beautiful and charming.

Although Lady Josephine disliked Pauline's frivolousness, she was her only relative in the world after all, and she still cared about her sister very much.

Tao Yao actually likes Pauline very much. Some ladies in this scene look dignified and generous, but they actually have many lovers behind the scenes.

Mrs. Whit and Anna looked at each other, then they both smiled and greeted Pauline.

"Hello."

Pauline smiled back at them, and the next second she pinched Taoyao's face with her sinful fingers.

"What a pretty girl, with such a smooth face. Can you dance?"

Tao Yao blinked her big watery eyes, shook her head in confusion, and then looked at her legs in loss.

"I can't dance."

Pauline stroked her hair soothingly, "I'll take you dancing later. Let's dance a duet, okay?"

Tao Yao's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since she was injured, Anna wanted to hold her in her arms all the time, and people were watching her wherever she went. She didn't think that her disabled legs were a big problem, but Anna's reaction made her feel like a useless person who could do nothing.

She now understood why the original owner was depressed. Disability had broken her heart, and Anna's nervousness made her even more stressed. In such a high-pressure environment, she could only make herself a well-behaved and obedient cat.

Edward, who was silent on the side, could not escape Pauline's clutches. His carefully groomed hair was messed up by Pauline today.

Edward suppressed his discomfort and slapped her hand away. The next second, Pauline's words made his wrinkled face even uglier.

"Don't act like an old man. No girl will like you."

Anna looked at Pauline with some worry. Pauline's action was too bold. She even wanted to take Chris to dance. Oh my God, she couldn't even think about it. Chris's legs couldn't move. What if someone stepped on her wheelchair while she was dancing and she fell?

"Miss Pauline, Chris can't dance. Thank you for your kindness. It's better for her to stay quietly by my side."

Anna held Taoyao's hand tightly, fearing that Pauline would really take her to dance.

Tao Yao really wanted to comfort Anna, but seeing how nervous she was, she didn't say anything.

Pauline shook her head regretfully. What a beautiful girl! What a pity!

Josephine pulled Pauline disapprovingly, then gave Anna an apologetic smile.

"Pauline, let's not disturb Mrs. Whit and Miss Anna. Come over and toast the guests with me."

After Pauline was pulled away by Josephine, Anna and Mrs. Whitt breathed a sigh of relief. Josephine did not object, which meant that she agreed. It seemed that there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

"Anna, she didn't refuse directly, which means we still have a chance. You just need to go back and convince the old Duke, and this matter can proceed smoothly."

Anna nodded, then said with some embarrassment, "Ellie, this isn't a good idea. My dad wouldn't agree. He never gets involved in these things. I think we're still too naive."

Mrs. Whitt patted the back of her hand soothingly, indicating that she should relax.

"Anna, you actually underestimate your position in the old Duke's heart. You haven't been back since you came back, right? The old Duke loves you more than you think. As long as you are willing to speak up, he will definitely compromise."

Anna was still a little hesitant. Her recklessness had hurt her beloved family. How could she have the face to go home now? Even if her family didn't blame her, she would still feel regretful and guilty.

"I was too impulsive at the time and didn't consider their feelings. I've been avoiding it and didn't want to face it. Maybe you're right. I should go back and apologize to them. Chris, do you want to go back with Mom to see grandparents?"

Tao Yao nodded and said, "I want to go back with my mother to see my grandparents."
