Chapter 25 Test Result
To everyone’s surprise, Wren continued, “Mr. Miguel, there’s something I’ve been hesitant to mention.”
“What is it? Just say it.”

“I’ve seen Ms. Caroline wandering around Ms. Helen’s door with a knife on several occasions, muttering that she wants to kill her. Given Caroline’s recent strange behavior, I fear she’s developed a mental illness. You should consider getting her into a psychiatric hospital quickly before she harms Ms. Helen.”
Wren felt a flash of satisfaction.
In this house, Helen was the most favored. Mentioning a threat to her would surely make the brothers take action.
Ideally, Caroline would be sent to the psychiatric hospital, where she’d either suffer greatly or worse.
The news shocked everyone into silence, their faces paling instantly.
Liam stood up in alarm. “Wren, are you sure? This is no joking matter.”
Wren nodded vigorously. I’m absolutely certain. Just don’t mention to Ms. Caroline that I said anything. I’m afraid she’ll
retaliate if she finds out.”
Seeing the genuine fear on Wren’s face, they couldn’t help but believe her.
Helen felt a cold sweat break out, her voice trembling, “Uncle Miguel, Uncle Fabian, Uncle Liam, you have to do something. I don’t want to die.”

“Thank you, Uncle Fabjan.” Helen had no real interest in cooking: she was just saying what they wanted to hear.
Cooking was messy and tedious. She wouldn’t waste her free time in the kitchen like Caroline.
Finally, Miguel, who had been silent, spoke up. “Let’s have Caroline checked out at the hospital first. We can’t just ship her off without knowing for sure.”
