But just now, she saw Maia delivering food around the neighborhood, and that caught her attention.
Why would Maia quit a perfectly fine job as a housemaid to become a food delivery girl?

Caroline didn’t respond to Helen’s accusation. Instead, she pointed at the spilled takeout on the ground. “Did you do this?”
The food had been properly sealed in a thermal box–unless the scooter flipped over, there was no way it could’ve fallen out on its own.

Caroline gave her a cool glance, her voice calm. “I sure did. Otherwise, you’d never learn your place.”
Helen’s anger was blazing. “Don’t forget–I’m Mrs. Grayson! If I say the word, you’ll be wiped out of Kingville in no time. You hear me?”

Helen faltered. Her confidence wavered as she saw Caroline wasn’t scared. “You really think I won’t…”
Helen’s face flushed a deep red. She stared at Caroline, unable to tell if she was bluffing or deadly serious.
