Chapter 127 True Color

Caroline continued, “I don’t give a darn about your daughter’s drama. The only reason I recorded that video and sent it to you was so you could see for yourself what kind of person she really is.”
Compared to the awful things Helen had done, this was nothing.
But Caroline didn’t have proof for those yet. Without evidence, Edwin and the rest of the brothers would never believe her.
Right now, all she could do was help them see that Hel wasn’t the sweet, innocent girl they thought she
was.
Edwin scoffed, “So she made one mistake, and now you’re acting like she’s committed some unforgivable sin? By that logic, considering all the nonsense you pulled in the past, what does that make you–absolute trash? Caroline, here’s a piece of advice: try being a little more decent. Don’t send that video to Teresa.”
He knew Caroline’s character. Of course she’d send it.
Teresa already had her doubts about Helen from the start. If she saw that footage of Helen cozying up to some guy, there was no way she’d still want her as a daughter–in–law.
Caroline had heard insults like this before; she didn’t even flinch now.
With a heavy sigh, she muttered, “Parents … always so blind to their kids mistakes. You’re so busy defending her, but do you even know what she’s been hiding from you? Do you think not sending the video means she gets to stay with the Graysons? Let me tell you the truth–she got kicked out two days ago.”
Edwin froze, stunned. He didn’t believe for a second and retorted, “That’s ridiculous! Stop making things up. You’re just jealous that she married well, and now you want to sabotage her.”
The idea that Helen got kicked out was laughable.
Just a few days ago, Alaina had mentioned she spoke to Helen, and everything was going great at the / Graysons.
Caroline gave a light grunt. “Believe whatever you want. But if you’re really curious, just ask Helen yourself.”
And with that, she ended the call.
Edwin sat there, unsettled. The things Caroline said buzzed in his mind. He immediately tried calling Helen, but none of his calls went through. She didn’t pick up any of them.
He was swamped with work at the office, so after trying several times, he gave up and sent her a message. “Come home tonight. We need to talk.”
Meanwhile, Helen was lying in bed, sore all over from her time with Derek. After he left, she’d gone straight to sleep.
By the time she woke up, a couple of hours had passed.
She glanced at her phone and saw several missed calls and a message from her dad.

She quickly answered, “Uncle Liam, did something happen at home?”
Liam asked, “You’ve been staying with the Graysons for a few days now. How’s it going?”
