Chapter 121 I’ll Call You an Ambulance
+8 Pearls
Now that she was officially being accepted into the Graysons, Helen no longer needed to hold back–she could finally put Caroline in her place.
Every time she thought about the insults, the humiliation, and the way Caroline used to treat her like dirt, her chest burned with rage.
This time, she was going to crush Caroline under her heel–break her pride and make her regret ever crossing her.
As her thoughts turned darker, her eyes grew cold and tense.
Though her head was slightly bowed, Teresa caught that sudden shift in her expression.
And it only confirmed what she’d long suspected–Helen was far from the innocent woman she pretended to be.
Still, Teresa smiled and continued, “Helen, you’ve cooked for two days straight–you must be tired. I don’t have any plans this afternoon, so I’ll handle dinner. You can guide me through it; how about that?”
Helen froze. Her whole body went stiff.
If she coached Teresa in the kitchen, the truth would come out–she didn’t know how to cook at all.
Absolutely not. Before she got pregnant, she couldn’t let Teresa find out she’d been lying from the very beginning.
But for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
She stayed silent, so Teresa added gently, “Are you worried I won’t be able to learn? Don’t worry–I won’t blame you if it doesn’t turn out great.”
Helen quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, Teresa. It’s not that at all.”
Of course, Terasa knew that wasn’t the real reason. “Then it’s settled,” she said cheerfully. “Now sit down and have some jackfruit. I’m going to lie down for a bit
She stood and walked back to her room.
Helen bit her lip. The sweet aroma of the jackfruit lingered in the air, but she had no appetite at all.
What should I do?
What she didn’t know was that Teresa already knew every one of her lies. And she had decided–Helen was going to be out of this house by tonight.
No matter what Helen came up with, it wouldn’t matter
Two hours later, Teresa woke up and came into the living room, but Helen was nowhere in sight.
Just then, she saw one of the maids heading into the kitchen. “Where did Helen go?” she asked.
The maid replied, “Ms. Somerton said she was feeling a little dizzy and went to lie down in the room.”

“Helen? Are you alright?”
At first, Helen didn’t respond. But when she heard Teresa knocking again–louder this time–she had no choice but to open the door.
