Caroline slowly pushed the door open and immediately made eye contact with Teresa, who was sitting facing it.
Teresa, seeing the kind–hearted girl from the restroom, was stunned foxmoment before asking, “Are you the chef who prepared this entire meal for us today?”
She had expected the chef to be a burly, dark–skinned man, not a wornan.
This was completely different from her impression of a chef.
“That’s right.” Caroline didn’t look at anyone else but caught a glimpse of the shock on the faces of the Somertons, especially Helen, who seemed to be whispering something to Alaina.
Teresa’s expression softened into a smile, and her gaze toward Caroline became more appreciative. “It must have been tiring making all this food, right? Don’t stand. Come sit down and eat with us.”
With that, she pulled out a chair next to her and waved for Caroline to sit.
At this moment, Helen became anxious.
If Teresa wanted to bring Caroline back as a private chef, would she still want her if she knew Caroline was the originally intended daughter–in–law of the Graysons?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, but she forced a smile and interrupted, “Teresa, I’m also learning to cook from a famous food blogger. I can cook for you in the future, so you won’t need to hire a chef anymore.”
Alaina chimed in, “Yes, Teresa. Helen often cooks at home, and her cooking is just as good as today’s dishes. Once she marries into your family, you can ask her to make anything you want. No need for a chef.
She said it with such ease, without a hint of guilt, which made Caroline admire her.
It seemed Alaina didn’t take her seriously and thought she wouldn’t reveal the truth.
Caroline hadn’t planned to reveal herself in this situation or argue with them.
But at this moment, she couldn’t hold back.
“Excuse me, but you say your daughter often cooks, but I see her hands are delicate and soft, like a young lady who never does any hard work. Does she even know how to cook?”
Not to mention cooking, Helen didn’t even know all the vegetables.
Alaina’s smile froze on her face, not expecting Caroline to confront her in front of everyone.
She wasn’t clear on what Caroline meant.
This engagement was clearly something Caroline had rejected, so why did she intentionally show up today?
Could it be that she regretted it and was trying to ruin Helen’s engagement?

Chapter 96 Do You Know Her?
The way the Somertons have been looking at this girl doesn’t seem like it’s their first time meeting her. And based on their tone, it seems like there’s some kind of past conflict.
