Caroline stared at Liam coldly. “You’ve already made up your mind, so why bother asking? Let me ask you- would you really cat poop?”
Liam shot back angrily, “Caroline, don’t think you can scare me or hide what you did. I’m telling you, your tricks won’t work! If it turns out you didn’t do this today, I’ll eat a kilogram of that right in front of you!”
Caroline had stayed in her room the whole time, which only made Liam more sure she was behind it all.
Today, in front of his brothers, he was determined to prove Caroline’s guilt!
She dared to mess with Helen like this–unless he beat her badly, he wouldn’t calm down!
Caroline smirked. “You said it yourself, and everyone here heard you. If you back out…”
“Cut the crap. I always keep my word.”
Liam’s firm reply made Caroline nod. “Good.
“Then let’s call out the two involved and hear from them directly!” Liam stood up, ready to find Helen.
“Wait!”
Caroline’s voice stopped him.
He looked at her with a mocking grin. “Scared now? Being scared won’t change a thing. I’ll get to the truth today.”
“I said wait–I’m not stopping you from calling them. Why so impatient?” Caroline said, then quickly pulled up a recording on her phone.
“Uncle Jamie, let’s see how you do this time.”
It was Helen’s voice.
Everyone looked confused–what was Helen talking about?
Liam, impatient as always, snapped, “Caroline, what is this? What did Helen mean by that?”
Caroline brought a finger to her lips, hinting for them to keep quiet. “Hold on. Let’s hear everything before jumping to conclusions.
After lunch, she returned to her room, but when no one was watching, she quietly snuck into the bathroom.
Thankfully, she’d had the presence of mind to start recording.
Without that, exposing Helen and Alaina’s setup would’ve been nearly impossible.
The recording went on.
To their shock, it wasn’t just Helen and Jamie–they could also hear Alaina’s voice.
As the audio played, everyone’s expressions turned more grim.
“Your wife is waiting for you in the room!”

Chapter 153 The Recording
The moment Edwin heard Helen say that, his face grew even darker.

He stepped up to Caroline and reached out to grab her phone, trying to stop her before things got out of hand.
But Caroline was ready. She dodged him and said, “What’s wrong, Edwin? The recording isn’t over yet. Don’t you want to hear the truth?”
She moved toward the balcony, turning the volume up.
Almost everyone sided with Helen, except Miguel, who seemed fair.
Even if it turned out Helen had set her up, they’d probably still let her off the hook.
Edwin lost words and finally said, “Caroline, stop causing trouble! Helen’s hurt–no matter what, that’s the fact.”
Caroline’s eyes narrowed sharply as she stared at him silently.
When the recording ended, she switched off her phone and slid it into her pocket. “I’m the one causing trouble? Where were you when everyone was blaming me? Now that I’ve got evidence, this is your response?”
Edwin stayed silent, and no one else spoke either. Caroline looked around and said, “You all heard it. Helen’s his daughter, so of course he’s going to protect her no matter what she’s done to me. I get that. But what about the rest of you?”
She looked at Fabian, Liam, and Miguel one by one.
No one said anything for a while, and the room stayed quiet. Then Fabian finally broke the silence. “I don’t get it. From what we heard, Helen was trying to trap you. But somehow, she’s the one who got caught up in it? That doesn’t add up.”
If Caroline hadn’t interfered, Helen’s plan might’ve failed, but she wouldn’t have ended up with Jamie.
Liam agreed with a nod. “Fabian’s got a point. You’re just bitter that Helen ended up with a rich guy, so you came up with this nasty plan to take her down. That recording was so real, I alt fell for it.”
He still couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that Helen would actually work with Alaina to hurt Caroline.
Jamie had no money or status–there was nothing for Caroline to gain from being with him.
But instead of snapping back, Caroline just gave him a calm smile.
Anyone can lie without blinking.
“You’re just scared you might actually have to eat poop, right?”
Liam’s face flushed with rage. “You little punk, what did you say?”
