My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Speak of the Devil

Ilha treuld’ve thought that such a gentle–looking girl could be so sneaky?

The thought darkened Teresa’s face, and she let out a heavy sigh.

Caroline stopped cracking a crab claw and looked up at Teresa. “Is something wrong?”

Teresa had been holding in her frustration all along, but Caroline’s question finally made her let it out. “It’s that damn Helen!

“She can’t even cook, but she lied and said she could. Worse, she kept sneaking out to grab takeout and then pretended she made it herself!”

Caroline’s

‘s eyes widened in surprise. “No way. She always seemed so well–behaved. Why would the lie to you like that?”

“Teresa’s anger grew

grew as she explained, “Remember that dinner we had? You saw her carrying those takeout boxes out of the restaurant. The truth is, she took them home, dumped the food onto plates, and claimed she cooked it herself. The more Teresa talked, the madder she got. “Good thing I caught on early. Otherwise, I’d have been eating that takeout every single day without knowing.”

Eating out too often isn’t safe. Having takeout occasionally is fine, but in the long term, it’s bad for your

health.

That was why Teresa wanted to hire a good cook to prepare healthy, clean meals at home.

But for the past few days, she’d been unknowingly eating takeout, thinking it was Helen’s home–cooked food..

Caroline asked calmly, “So, what are you planning to do?”

“What else?” Teresa hesitated for a moment before saying. “How could the Graysons accept someone so sneaky? She’s not fit to be in my family. I’ve already kicked her out.”

Caroline already knew all this.

This time, she didn’t look shocked, just worried. “When we were at the hotel, I noticed Mr. Grayson barely took his eyes off Helen. He really likes her. Are you sure kicking her out won’t cause problems between you and your son?”

It was true Linden liked Helen.

The excitement of something new played a part.

Plus, Helen knew exactly how to win a guy’s heart.

In the last life, she used those same tricks to get Linden hooked–body and soul.

Teresa brushed this off. “Linden might fool around sometimes, but when it comes to serious stuff, he listens to me. If I don’t approve of Helen, he wouldn’t dare argue.”

Caroline understood what Teresa meant. She was saying that Linden could be wild outside, but he definitely couldn’t bring Helen into the family.

In the last life, Helen got pregnant, but whether she and Linden married, Caroline never found out.

Sadly, she had died too soon to see what happened next.

“Well, that’s good, Caroline said, finishing a crab leg and wiping her hands.

Teresa looked at her and suddenly brightened. “Caroline, you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right?

Caroline paused, glanced up, and awkwardly shook her head with a small laugh. “Not yet”

She thought, 7hresa invited me to dinner and said she wanted to talk… Is she trying to set me up with Linden?

Speak of the devil.

Just as that thought hit her, Teresa said, “What about you marrying Linden? He’s a bit of a player, but he listens to me. If you’re willing to marry him, I’ll make sure he gets serious and pays attention only to you.

“Besides, once you marry into our family, you won’t have to work so hard cooking anymore. You can relax and be the lady of the house.”

As Teresa spoke, a genuine smile spread across her face, like she truly meant it.

Caroline could tell Teresa really wanted her to marry Linden.

But in her last life, after agreeing to marry him, Linden had betrayed her.

That alone was enough reason not to want anything to do with him this time around.

Secing Caroline’s thoughtful silence, Teresa smiled again. “It’s okay. You can take your time. This is a big decision, after all. Think it over carefully and tell me when you’re ready.”
