My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 Alaina Found It

When Alaina heard that, her brows twitched slightly, and she finally gave in. “Alright, fine.”

She had already been considering it.

The only problem was that now Caroline had moved out. If she handed the bracelet over, it would be hard to get it back again..

That bracelet was worth a fortune and just the thought of letting it go made her heart ache.

A smile appeared across Helen’s face when her mother had finally agreed. She gently rested her head on Alaina’s shoulder and said sweetly, “Mom, you’re the best. I knew you loved me the most.”

Alaina chuckled. “Alright, alright. I’ll go give that damn girl the bracelet.”

“Mban”

Helen straightened up and watched as Alaina walked toward the bedroom.

When Alaina entered the room, she saw Miguel and Caroline talking quietly.

Edwin was standing by the wardrobe, reaching out to open its doors.

Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly walked over and shoved him aside while scolding him, “There are some of my expensive new clothes in here. Don’t just go digging through things–you’ll mess everything up!

Edwin stared at her in confusion as he was caught off guard by the shove.

He hadn’t even had a chance to speak when Alaina added, “Go check under the bed while I look in the wardrobe. I might as well take the chance to organize my clothes.”

She had hidden the jewelry box in a locked drawer, and the key was tucked into the pocket of one of her jackets.

If Edwin saw the drawer was locked, he would definitely get suspicious. Normally, that drawer was n locked.

Even worse, if he found the key and opened it, he’d figure out she was the one who took the box.

Her earlier lie would fall apart.

Only when Edwin obediently moved to the bed did Alaina breathe a small sigh of relief and turn back to rummage through the wardrobe.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly slipped her hand into the jacket pocket, pulled out t and unlocked the drawer with practiced ease.

“Found it! The jewelry box was in here all along.” Alaina pulled out the box and set it on the nightstand

Edwin frowned slightly at the sight of the box and asked, “That’s odd. No one touched it, so how did u end up in the wardrobe?”

Alaina came up with an excuse on the spot. “This morning Helen said she wanted to look at that diamond bracelet I bought last year, so I took the box out for her. Maybe she thought the nightstand drawer wasn’t

It sounded reasonable enough, so Edwin didn’t question it. He just silently blamed Helen

accused Caroline.

After he returned the bracelet to Caroline, she kept her word and deleted the video and the recording right in front of him…

With her goal achieved, Caroline had no desire to stay a minute longer.

Just as she stepped outside, Miguel called out behind her. “Caroline!”

She stopped in her tracks and turned around with a straight face. “Miguel, what is it?”

Miguel looked at her with a complicated expression. “Delivering food is hard work, and it doesn’t make much money. Plus, rent out there is expensive. Why not come back and live at home?”

Caroline shook her head. “No thanks. The place I’m renting might not be as nice as here, but at least it’s peaceful. This house… it’s suffocating.”

Miguel’s eyes dimmed upon hearing that.

He had felt uncomfortable with everything that happened today, let alone Caroline, who had been the target of it all.

Alaina and Helen’s scheme, Edwin refusing to return the bracelet and accusing Caroline instead…

Thinking about it more, he realized this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Just like the rest of their brothers, he had always assumed Helen was sweet and kind, incapable of doing wrong.

So, whenever a problem arose, they automatically blamed Caroline.

They never ga

gave her a chance to explain. They scolded her, even punished her.

However, he realized how blind he had been after hearing the recording today.
