Gossiping was one thing, but what really worried him was that if Helen really confronted Caroline, his lie would be exposed.
If Caroline found out he had falsely accused her, she might never speak to him again.
Helen pouted. “But I just can’t stand other women making moves on you. And you were hugging her just now–do you know how much that hurt me? You might as well have killed me!”
Linden coaxed her gently, “I promise, from now on, I’ll keep my distance from other women. I’ll ensure they don’t even get to flirt with me. Are you happy now?”
A rare smile lit up Helen’s face. “Now that’s more like it.”
“Come on, let’s go eat.” Linden took her hand and led her toward the front yard.
Helen shot a dark, cold glance at the kitchen door behind them as they walked away.
If it had been any other woman making a move on Linden, she might have let it slide. But the woman in question was Caroline–how could she ever let that go?
Just as the two reached the dining table, Teresa approached.
Her expression was stern. “Where have you two been?”
Seeing his mother so serious, Linden gave her a casual smile. “We were just walking around the backyard, checking things out. Why are you so tense, Mom?”
Teresa snapped, “Why walk around during dinner? Sit down and eat! And when you’re done, go home. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
“Oh.” Linden picked up his fork and started eating/
Helen, seated beside him, felt a wave of resentment build as she listened to Teresa scold Linden so harshly
Once Teresa walked away, she turned to Linden. “Are you scared of your mom or something? Why don’t you ever get mad when she yells at you?”
She thought of her own mother, who had never scolded her like that, even when she made big mistakes.
Only her father had ever raised his voice at her.
She believed that all mothers should be like hers–never blaming their children, whether they were right
wrong.
Teresa was way out of line–she even wondered whether Linden was really her biological son.
Linden waved it off, unfazed. “She’s always like that. Don’t mind her.”
Helen pouted at Teresa, who was sitting at another table.
Once she got into the Graysons, she would never let Teresa talk to her like that.
She’d ensure she had control of the Graysons and everyone bowed to her.

Chapter 178 Helen’s True Colors
Both Linden and Helen had their own thoughts as they quickly finished their meal,

After leaving the Nielsen Residence, Helen suddenly stopped. “Linden, why don’t you go ahead? I’ve got something to do.”
Linden raised his eyebrows slightly. “What is it?”
Helen said casually, “A high school classmate of mine lives nearby. She heard I was in the area and asked me to stop by.”
Linden was focused on other things and didn’t question whether she was telling the truth–he just left.
Helen stood there until his car disappeared into traffic. Then she turned and walked back to Nielsen. Residence.
She headed straight for the kitchen, looking for Caroline.
The sight of her storming off toward the backyard fell right into Teresa’s line of sight.
Sensing the fury radiating from her, Teresa immediately realized something was wrong.
Helen had been brought here by Linden. If she stirred up drama, it would reflect badly on the Graysons.
She didn’t bother chatting with the others and quickly followed Helen, wanting to see what she was doing.
Seeing Helen head toward the kitchen, Teresa was confused.
What was Helen doing there?
She sped up and reached the kitchen door just in time to hear Helen shouting furiously from inside.
“Caroline, you bitch!”
Only then did Teresa remember–Caroline was still in the kitchen.
What puzzled her was–what kind of deep grudge could Helen possibly have against Caroline?
At the moment, no one else was in the kitchen–just Caroline and Helen.
Caroline had just finished cleaning up and was about to leave when she was suddenly insulted like that. Furious, she glared at Helen.
“You’d better watch your mouth!”
But Helen wasn’t intimidated. In fact, she looked even more smug and aggressive. “You’re nothing but a disgusting slut! Always pretending to be so pure and innocent but secretly seducing someone else’s man- you homewrecker!”
Teresa was stunned by what she heard.
Caroline, pretending to be sweet while being a homewrecker? She couldn’t
ve it.
Still, she stayed hidden, listening in. She wanted to know what exactly had happened.
Caroline understood immediately–this was about what Helen saw earlier when Linden had briefly held
her.

Her face turned icy as she stared back. “Who do you think you are, calling me a homewrecker?”
Her haughty tone only made Helen angrier. “You think I have no right? You knew I was with Linden and still
went after him. If that’s not being a homewrecker, what is? You used to be some old man’s mistress, and now you want to be Linden’s side piece, too. Disgusting!”
