Helen instinctively covered the stinging side of her check, her eyes flaring with fury as she glared at Caroline.

“What gives you the right to hit me?!”

That was just what you deserved–for having such a filthy mouth,” Caroline replied coolly, lowering her head to rub her hand, which had gone numb from the force of the slap.

After a few seconds of kneading, she looked back up and added, “You keep calling me a homewrecker. Did you actually see me doing anything that makes me one?”

“I did see it! I saw you and Linden hugging with my own eyes! Don’t even think about trying to talk your way out of it!” Helen’s face flushed–whether from rage or the slap, even she wasn’t sure.

Outside, Teresa had been listening–and at this moment, she felt excitement.

Did she hear that right?

Caroline and Linden were hugging?

She didn’t fully believe what Helen but part of her wanted it to be true.

“Just to be clear,” Caroline said with a light laugh, “he was the one who hugged me, not the other way around.” Then her tone turned sharper. “But even if we were hugging–so what? If I’m not mistaken, weren‘ you already kicked out by Teresa? That means you’re not the Graysons anymore. What right do you have to call me a homewrecker?”

Helen was struck speechless. She lifted a trembling finger and pointed at her. “You-”

She was just about to launch into another tirade when Caroline cut her off coldly.

“I hate it when people point fingers at me. If you don’t want to keep yours, keep pointing.”

The threat sent a shiver down Helen’s spine, and she immediately yanked her hand back.

Her mother had warned her: back when Ruth pointed a finger at Caroline, she nearly had it twisted off.

She had no doubt Caroline would do the same to her.

After a moment of hesitation, Helen straightened her posture and said, “Even if Teresa doesn’t like me, Linden does. That’s enough for me. So I’m warning you–stop clinging to him. If you don’t, I’ll ensure everyone in the Somertons turns their back on you. You’ll never be welcome there again.”

Caroline remained calm and unmoyed. “And you think I care?”

The truth was, the old her would’ve cared–a lot. She used to cling to every bit of warmth the Somertons offered.

But time had changed everything–the person she used to be was long gone.

She didn’t give a damn anymore.

Not wanting to waste another second arguing, she said flatly, “Don’t forget–I gave up Linden in the first place. Since I let him go, I have no intention of going back. Whatever you’re imagining, that’s your problem.”

She turned to leave, but Helen grabbed her arm in a panic. “Why so eager to run away? Feeling guilty?”

No way was she buying into that noble, selfless act.

With a family background as prestigious as the Graysons, how could Caroline possibly give that up?

Besides, the day they met the Graysons at the hotel, Caroline had deliberately shown up–obviously because she regretted handing over the engagement.

Caroline sighed, exasperated. “What do you want from me?”

“I want an apology!” Helen said sharply. “You went behind my back to seduce my boyfriend, and you hit me You need to apologize and promise to stay away from Linden. If you ever see him, you’d better go the othe way!”

Caroline couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re insane.”

She hadn’t even bothered arguing over the insults earlier–and now this girl wanted an apology?

What a joke.

She shook off Helen’s hand with one strong motion and strode toward the door.

But Helen wasn’t about to let her go so easily. She raised her foot and kicked Caroline hard in the back.

Caught off guard, Caroline stumbled forward, nearly crashing into the door.

Fortunately, she reacted fast, bracing herself against the doorframe with both hands just in time to avoid falling.

Fury blazed in her chest. She turned around, ready to unleash hell on Helen and froze.

Standing just outside the door was Teresa.

Their eyes met. Teresa’s expression was complicated.
