But just now, she saw Maia delivering food around the neighborhood, and that caught her attention.
Why would Maia quit a perfectly fine job as a housemaid to become a food delivery girl?
Then, seeing Caroline nearby, it suddenly made sense.
It had to be Caroline. She probably couldn’t stand seeing the family doing well and convinced Maia to quit and take up a gig job instead.

Caroline didn’t respond to Helen’s accusation. Instead, she pointed at the spilled takeout on the ground. “Did you do this?”
The food had been properly sealed in a thermal box–unless the scooter flipped over, there was no way it could’ve fallen out on its own.
And it definitely wasn’t Maia’s fault. That left only one possibility–Helen.
Helen admitted it without shame. “Yeah, I did it. So what? I didn’t mess with your delivery. What business is it of yours?”
The sight of Caroline standing up for Maia only made her angrier. With a sneer, Helen reached for the thermal box again, ready to throw out another meal right in front of her.
But Caroline was quicker. Her fist landed squarely on the back of Helen’s hand.
Helen yelped and immediately pulled back, wincing in pain. “Ah-!”
Maia, who had just been insulted moments ago, was still fuming inside.
Seeing Caroline step in gave her a rare burst of courage. “Serves you right,” Maia snapped. “You’re getting exactly what you deserve. Keep acting like this, and one day karma won’t just hurt–you’ll pay with your life.”
Helen’s face darkened as Maia cursed. She ignored the pain in her hand and hissed, “You’re just a lowly maid. Who gave you the nerve to talk to your employer like that? Was it Caroline? Did she put those disgusting words in your mouth?”
Before Helen could finish her tantrum, a loud slap echoed through the air, turning her face sharply to one side.
Helen clutched the stinging half of her face, eyes blazing as she turned to glare at Caroline. “How dare you hit me again!”
Caroline gave her a cool glance, her voice calm. “I sure did. Otherwise, you’d never learn your place.”
Helen’s anger was blazing. “Don’t forget–I’m Mrs. Grayson! If I say the word, you’ll be wiped out of Kingville in no time. You hear me?”
She raised her chin arrogantly like a peacock, full of self–importance. If Caroline didn’t know better, she

Helen faltered. Her confidence wavered as she saw Caroline wasn’t scared. “You really think I won’t…”
“You will. I know you will,” Caroline interrupted coldly. “You’re the Somertons heiress. Now you’ve married into the Graysons–of course you think you can do whatever you want. Getting rid of me would be nothing to you. You could send someone else to do it or even do it yourself. Isn’t that right?”
In another life, she had.
Helen’s face flushed a deep red. She stared at Caroline, unable to tell if she was bluffing or deadly serious.
If she hadn’t moved into the Grayson Residence, she might’ve already tried poisoning Caroline by now.
But now that they’d both left the family house, she had no easy way to strike.
Caroline waited, but Helen didn’t speak. So she continued, “But if you really want me gone, you better have the skills to do it. You’re barely able to protect yourself right now. Don’t go around making threats you can’t back up.”
Helen was puzzled by her threat. That eerie smile on Caroline’s face sent a chill down her spine.
She stammered, “W–what are you talking about?”
“You mean you don’t know?” Caroline asked. She’d already sent the secret video to her brothers—but oddly enough, none of them had confronted Helen.
They were letting it slide. If they wouldn’t speak up, she would.
Caroline pulled out her phone and quickly tapped into her gallery. Then she turned the screen toward
Helen.
“Take a look. Recognize this?”
Helen glanced impatiently at the screen, but the second she saw what was playing, her legs buckled. She stumbled back two steps and nearly collapsed.
“W–where did you get that video?” she gasped.
“What’s wrong? Scared now?” Caroline said, her tone sharp. “I’m not the only one who has it. Your dad and your uncles all have it too.”
Helen’s panic deepened at this.
Was that why her father had called her home yesterday? Not because of the company affairs, but because he saw the video and wanted to confront her?
And what about her uncles? Why didn’t they say anything?
Caroline slipped her phone back into her pocket and glanced at the food scattered on the ground. Thankfully, she’d packed extra meals at home.
“Come on, Maia. Let’s go,” she said, turning back toward the building.
