Caroline didn’t say much and simply replied with a soft hum.
Deep down, she already knew the truth well.
To Linden. Helen was just a new interest, something exciting at first but bound to get boring later.
And Helen? She wasn’t truly in love with Linden, she was after his family’s big fortune,
Seeing Caroline stay quiet, Linden moved a bit closer, lowering his voice near her ear. “If you be my girlfriend, I’ll break things off with her.
This girl isn’t just pretty; she’s different.
Other women, once they find out who I am, will throw themselves at me, trying to flatter me, get close, or even sleep with
But this girl is nothing like them.
She doesn’t flatter me and almost seems indifferent.
How interesting.
Caroline already knew what he wanted. Hearing this didn’t surprise her at all.
“Sorry, not interested. I’ve got stuff to do, so I’m leaving
Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away.
Linden stood there for a moment, watching her walk off, then broke into a silly grin.
Usually, women chased him and told him how they felt.
This time, he made the first move and actually got turned down.
This girl is definitely getting more interesting by the minute
I have to win her over, even if it’s the last thing I do.
Meanwhile, Helen was at the Somertons‘ villa, enjoying some bone broth, not knowing Linden was starting to develop feelings for Caroline.
She chatted with Alaina as they ate.
“Don’t worry about Jamie, Alaina said “I’m visiting his place in a few days. I’ll tell him you went abroad and are planning to get married there. That should kill any hope he has of marrying you.”
Helen frowned. “Do you really think he’ll believe that?”

Alaina smiled, “Not right away, but give it time. And don’t come here for a while. differently and avoid running into him. Eventually, he’ll believe you’re really oversas and stop obsessing.”
“Okay, I’ll be careful, Helen agreed, thinking her mother’s advice made sense.
Jamie wasn’t exactly loyal. Once he saw there was no chance, he’d move on fast.

Alaina then asked, “How’s Linden acting lately? Has he been acting weird?”
Helen smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. Things are good.”
Last night, she asked Linden if there was someone else. He promised there wasn’t.
She believed him.

She cursed Caroline for lying about Linden having another woman and trying to ruin their relationship
Speaking of Caroline, something hit Helen. She turned to Alaina and said, “The neighborhood I live in is fancy. I never thought Caroline lived there too. How could she afford to rent such a place?”
Caroline is just a delivery girl; there’s no way she can pay for a place like that.
I’m sure she’s living with that older guy.
Alaina pursed her lips. “Isn’t it obvious? She’s a sugar baby!”
Dating an older man is one thing, but now she’s shamelessly living with him.
What a disgrace!
Helen bit her lip to hide a smile. She felt pleased whenever Caroline got insulted.
“Sigh… A long sigh broke the mood between them.
Helen and Alaina looked up as Edwin came out of the room.
Alaina frowned. “What now?”
She had already done what he asked. She had returned the bracelet to Caroline, and Caroline had deleted. the videos and recordings.
She didn’t get why he was still upset.
Edwin sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette before saying. “It’s the company again. We still owe the supplier for some goods. Lately, they keep coming to the office, making scenes, yelling that our company has no credit. It’s cost us several deals we almost closed.
“I just beard from my assistant that the supplier showed up again, threatening that if we don’t pay, we’ll lose all our business.”
Alaina slammed her hand on the table, furious. This is ridiculous! We’ll pay them back what we owe. How much is it exactly?”
She didn’t know much about the company’s money, only that business wasn’t as good this year as before.
As Edwin exhaled smoke, he replied in a low voice, “It’s 380,000.
Alaina’s eyes grew wide in shock. What? Did you say 380,000? I remember you sai did it jump to 380,000?”
“That was last year. This year, it’s a lot more.” Edwin looked deeply worried.
