My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 You Have to Come With Me

Finding a good chef isn’t hard if the price is right.

And of course, the

Graysons will cover the cost. I just have to bring someone over to their home.

After all, the Graysons have

more money than they can spend; they won’t care about the fees.

But as soon as Linden heard this, he quickly cut her off. “Forget it. Don’t bother with my mom. If she wants a chef, she can find one herself.”

Teresa had liked Caroline’s cooking, but after Caroline turned her down, she never talked about it again.

When Linden said he was helping Teresa find a chef, it was really just an excuse to track down Caroline.

Helen didn’t push the subject after that.

She hadn’t forgotten why she’d called Linden back tonight in the first place.

It was late, and outside the house, everything was quiet.

Helen paused, then finally said, “Linden, our company’s having some problems. Can you help?”

Linden sounded casual, almost like he didn’t care. “What kind of problems?”

He’d heard of the Somertons‘ company–just a small clothing factory.

Compared to the Graysons‘ empire, it was barely a blip.

Helen pursed her lips and explained what was going on with her company.

After listening, Linden didn’t think it was anything serious. “I know some people. I can help get some publicity for your company. But keeping your staff depends on how strong your business really is.”

Helen frowned. “Thanks, but that doesn’t fix the urgent cash shortage we’re facing right now…”

“So what do you want me to do?”

He waited for her answer. “The company’s really short on money. Could you lend my dad 380,000? Don’t worry. Once things get better even a little, I’ll pay you back.”

She didn’t mean what she said.

The Graysons are rich; a few hundred thousand won’t faze them.

Besides, I’m basically his now, so it makes sense for him to just give me the money.

What surprised her was that Linden/didn’t say yes right away.

He was quiet for a long moment, then said, “If it were 20,000 or 30,000, no problem. But 380,000? I really can’t pull that out.”

Helen froze for a second.

After thinking it over, she asked, “You’re from the richest family in Kingville. How could you not have that kind of money?”

Chapter 172 You Have to Come With Me

Who would believe that?

She felt disappointed and a bit shocked.

She didn’t expect Linden to hesitate over a few hundred thousand.

A bitter smile crossed Linden’s face. “Just because the Graysons have money doesn’t mean I do. My parents control all the family money.”

“Still, you’re the eldest son of the Graysons. You must have at least a few hundred thousand.” Helen had a hard time believing it.

Linden is the only son, and he works in the family business; surely he has millions to spend.

Seeing the doubt on her face, Linden sighed. “My dad’s actually really strict. Since I was a kid, he’s controlled my money. I only get about 100,000 a month to spend.”

Helen got angry. “That’s awful. Is he going to control you forever?”

If that’s all he gets to spend each month, how is his life any different from anyone else’s?

What’s the point of me trying so hard to marry him?
