Chapter 175 Destiny Keeps Bringing Us Together
With nothing better to do, Helen glanced around the courtyard, taking in the crowd.

Most people here wear fancy clothes and talk like they belong to high society. I’m guessing the Nielsens must be really
rich.
Otherwise, how else would they know so many wealthy folks?
Most importantly, even the Graysons are here.
Her eyes swept the whole front yard again.
She couldn’t help but say, “Wow, this place is so fancy. They must’ve spent a ton of money renovating it
“Don’t underestimate the Nielsens,” Linden said, pointing toward the study next to the main hall. “They made a fortune in business years ago. They could easily turn their house into a palace if they wanted. See that room? That’s where they keep some pretty valuable antiques. Just those could support a family for generations.”
Helen followed his finger, eyes shining as she stared at the door.
She thought the Graysons were rich, but the Nielsens were on a whole different level.
They really were part of the top class.
If she could get even one antique to take home, her life would be set.
Thinking about that, she turned to Linden and said, “I really like antiques too. Can we check out that room
People with money don’t stress over it. If I could just grab even a small piece, that’d be amazing.
Even if it’s worth just a few hundred thousand, it’d be worth it.
“No,” Linden said firmly, ruining her hopes.
Helen’s face fell. “Why not? I just want to look!”
Linden explained, “Richard doesn’t like people going into his study, especially with so many guests aroun He wouldn’t let you in.”
Helen looked doubtful. “But you’ve been inside, right?”
She didn’t buy it.
“Of course I have. But… ” Linden suddenly stopped because he just spotted someone familiar heading toward the backyard.
“But what?” Helen asked, her voice close.
Linden looked away and said, “But it was because Samantha got a porcelain piece at an auction once, and she asked my mom to check it out. My mom and I went together. That was the only time I got inside the study.”
He said it without much thought, then stood up quickly. “I’m going to the bathroom. If the food comes c before I’m back, you go ahead and start eating.”

Chapter 175 Destiny Keeps Bringing Us Together
Helen wanted to say something, but Linden had already rushed off.
Watching him leave like that, Helen figured he really needed the bathroom.
But she never guessed it was just an excuse.
That figure I saw looked so much like Caroline. I need to check if it really was her.
He went to the backyard and just caught sight of the figure stepping into the kitchen.
Linden was surprised. Is Caroline here to work as a chef?

He walked faster toward the kitchen and heard Caroline telling others, “The food’s ready. Start bringing the dishes out.”
Hearing her voice made Linden smile a little.
It really is Caroline.
Caroline didn’t notice him watching from behind.
After giving her orders, she helped load food onto trays.
When she finished and turned around, she caught Linden smiling at her.
Her heart skipped a beat. What’s this annoying guy doing here?
Oh, right–Samantha and Teresa are good friends, so I guess it makes sense that Linden’s here.
Understanding that, Caroline relaxed and asked, “Why are you here in the kitchen instead of drinking and socializing out front?”
He hated the greasy, smoky air here in his past life
Linden smirked. “I came to see you.”
Caroline narrowed her eyes. “To see me? Why?”
Is he still interested in me, wanting to ask me to be his girlfriend?
Her expression darkened. “If you’ve got something to say, let’s go outside.”
-There were about ten people in the kitchen. If Linden said something stupid, she’d be the one embarrass
She walked out first, heading straight for a nearby gazebo.
Linden followed her.
Caroline asked bluntly, “What exactly do you want from me?”
Linden didn’t answer directly. He smiled and said, “It’s only been a few days, and here we are again. Wouldn’t you say it’s destiny?”
Caroline gave a half–exasperated laugh. “So?”
Linden took two steps closer. “Since destiny keeps bringing us together, you should agree to be my

girlfriend.”
Caroline rolled her eyes. “Are you crazy?”
