Chapter 98 Caroline Has Changed

Alaina smiled as she explained, “You don’t have to cook it yourself. Just wait until they’re not paying attention, then go get takeout from a restaurant and say you made it‘
Luckily, she hadn’t exaggerated Helen’s cooking skills earlier, so even if he just picked a random small restaurant, as long as the food was decent, it wouldn’t raise suspicion.
Helen said, “But that’s not a long–term solution. One day, it’ll be found out.”
She didn’t want to learn how to cook, and she never wanted to deal with a kitchen–that dirty, greasy place -for the rest of her life.
Alaina said, “This doesn’t need to go on for long. As long as you get pregnant with a Grayson child, who’s going to make you cook then?”
As long as she had a child with the Graysons, not only would she never need to cook again, but her position as the young mistress of the Graysons would also be secure.
Upon hearing this, Helen’s eyes lit up. “Mom, that’s a good idea. But I don’t know if it’ll work.”
After all, it takes two people to make that happen–there’s only so much she can do alone.
Alaina chuckled. “You didn’t notice? Just now, Linden kept sneaking glances at you. He’s probably interested. As long as you take the initiative, this will be easy.”
Hearing that, Helen blushed slightly and lowered her head with a smile.
Men are men. No matter how rich they are, they’re still visual creatures.
At least her efforts in dressing up today and the skincare she’d been doing lately hadn’t gone to waste.
Meanwhile-
Caroline had just reached the hotel entrance when she heard Edwin’s annoyed voice behind her.
“Caroline, wait!”
Caroline stopped and slowly turned around, seeing Edwin and Miguel walking toward her.
She just stood there quietly, staring at them.
As they got closer, she fixed her eyes on Edwin’s face and said coolly, “What do you want?”
Her gaze was like she was looking at a stranger, making Edwin feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
“Where are your manners? You see me and don’t even greet me?”
Caroline curled her lips into a faint smile. “Just now, in front of the Graysons, you pretended not to know me because you didn’t want them to find out I’m your sister. We’re still at the hotel now–aren’t you afraid the Graysons might not have left yet and could have heard you?”
Her gaze passed over Edwin, looking toward the hotel lobby behind him.

Seeing no sign of the Graysons, he finally let out a breath and turned back to Caroline. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?!”
He really thought the Graysons were behind him just now.
If they had seen it, what would they think of him?
Caroline shrugged. “I didn’t do anything. You’re the one feeling guilty. How can you blame me?”
Her indifferent attitude only made Edwin angrier. “I’m not going to argue nonsense with you. I just want to know–why were you at the hotel today?”
Caroline is just doing food deliveries. Why would she suddenly show up at this five–star hotel?
And she just so happened to be the chef cooking for them.
There’s no way it was a coincidence.
She must have done it on purpose!
Caroline looked calm. “If I told you the hotel manager invited me to be the chef, would you believe it?”
Of course he wouldn’t.
But she was going to say it anyway.
Because it was the truth.
If she had remembered earlier that today was the day the Somertons and the Graysons were meeting, she probably wouldn’t have come here.
Edwin gave a cold snort. “You? You’re overestimating yourself! This isn’t some small restaurant where anyone can just walk in and become a chef!”
No need to ask–he was sure Caroline must’ve paid someone off to sneak her way in.
Caroline knew he wouldn’t believe her. “Believe it or not! If you’ve got nothing else, I’m leaving.”
She still had to get back to Galaxy Bay Residences to wash vegetables and make dinner.
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t give Edwin any chance to respond and turned to leave.
Edwin stood frozen, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance, feeling more and more uneasy inside.
“She wasn’t like this before. How did she become more and more annoying?”
Beside him, Miguel heard this and clenched both fists tightly at his sides.
Ever since Caroline changed, everyone in the family–except for Fabian and James Somerton, her fifth brother–had nothing good to say to her, nor did they treat her kindly.
Even he himself had once misunderstood her.

Edwin put his hands on his hips, glancing sideways toward the crowd where Cardine had disappeared. “Miguel, stop making excuses for her. Someone like her is rosten to the
