Chapter 115 Seafood Feast

+8 Pearls

The stall owner glanced at Caroline and hesitated for a moment before saying, “These crabs are already sold. You should try somewhere else.”

Seeing the boss‘ reluctance, Helen frowned and said, “How about 200 bucks? Will you sell them then?”

People were greedy; she offered double the price, so she did not believe the stall owner would still refuse.

The stall owner’s eyes lit up at the mention of 200 dollars. “All right! Sold to you then!”

He completely ignored Caroline, who had bought the crabs first.

Caroline simply stood there as she silently watched Helen.

The market was crowded and noisy, making it hard for her to say anything to Helen.

After Helen paid, Caroline grabbed her sleeve and pulled her toward a quiet corner behind the market.

“Why did you drag me back here, Caroline?”

“You really don’t know?” Caroline looked her in the eye, her gaze calm but cold. “There are so many crab stalls here. Why did you go after mine?”

And she even paid an extra hundred bucks for them, clearly just to provoke her.

Helen lifted her chin with pride. “I liked your crabs. What’s wrong with that? And I paid for them. How is that stealing?”

Caroline gave a faint laugh. “Sure. You’ve got money, you can do whatever you want. Take whatever you want. Just hope you can keep doing that forever.”

“Jealous, are you? Well, jealousy won’t get you far. I’m the one destined to marry into money, not you. Just stick to delivering food!” Helen’s eyes glimmered with smugness, as if she were already living the life of a rich wife.

Caroline smirked coldly. “Helen, don’t forget… The rich wife thing? That’s something I gave up. You’re just picking up the trash I left behind. And believe me, if I wanted to, I could make sure you don’t even get that

trash.”

Helen frowned and stared at her.

That eerie, chilling smile on Caroline’s face sent a jolt of fear through her chest.

Helen’s face turned pale, then flushed. Her voice was all over the place. “You … you’re crazy! Stop trying to scare me! You think I’m afraid of you? If you’re so powerful, how come you’re still stuck cooking for the Somertons? You just barely got bold, and now you’re back in their kitchen again?”

She had no idea that Caroline had already moved out. She assumed Caroline was buying crabs today to cook, for the Somertons.

Before Caroline could say anything, Helen patted her on the shoulder. “Fate’s already written. Don’t fight it. Be a good little servant for that family. Once I marry into the Graysons and take over, if you suck up to me well enough, maybe I’ll let you come work as a maid for us.”

She giggled evilly and walked away.
