Chapter 39 Go Home, Caroline
Receiving flowers after winning on stage was more impressive.
Finished
Louise was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. “Sure, Ms. Helen. You’re always the clever one”
If she handed over the flowers on stage, she could bask in Helen’s glory and share in the spotlight.
Helen just smiled, silently acknowledging her words.
“You two go find a seat first. I’m going to submit my design.”
As soon as Helen walked off, Caroline arrived.
Louise shot her a sidelong glance and said in a sarcastic tone, “Well, well, look who showed up. I’m surprised you had the nerve to come here!”
Caroline didn’t even bother to look at her. Without a word, she walked past Louise and headed. for an empty seat.
Feeling snubbed, Louise frowned and stepped in front of her, blocking the way. “Caroline, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf or just ignoring me?”
Caroline’s gaze
turned ice cold as she replied with a straight face, “All I heard was a dog barking. Didn’t realize anyone was speaking to me.”
“D–did you just call me a dog?” Louise’s face darkened, and her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She wanted to punch her then and there.
With Liam standing nearby, she forced herself to swallow her anger and sneered instead.
“I know why you’re here–you want to ruin everything for Ms. Helen, don’t you? Let me save you the effort. She’s winning first place today, no matter what tricks you try”
Liam, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up. “Caroline, this isn’t the place for you. Go home.”
Caroline shot him a sideways glance. “If you guys can be here, why can’t I be here?”
“We’re here to support Helen. Don’t tell me you’re here for that too, Liam said with open disdain.
Caroline had been picking fights with Helen for a while now.
He had no doubt she came today just to sabotage her chances.
Caroline looked him in the eye calmly. “I’m not here to cheer her on. I’m here to see good designs.”
Louise burst out laughing upon hearing that.

No one in the factory knew Caroline had any design skills.
She was always doing odd jobs like snipping threads and handling small tasks.
Finished
Liam interrupted before Caroline could reply. “Caroline, this isn’t just about Helen winning a trophy. The future of our company depends on it. Don’t cause trouble. Go home.”
The meaning behind his words was crystal clear to Caroline.
He thought she was here to make sure Helen didn’t win.
As she looked at the two of them who were so certain Helen would take first place, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
She couldn’t help but wonder what their reactions would be once the truth came out.
Not wanting to
to argue any further, Caroline said in a calm tone, “Don’t worry, Mr. Liam. I’m really just here to watch the competition. If you’re so worried about me, feel free to sit right next to
me.”
Without waiting for a reply, she picked an empty seat and sat down.
Everything that needed to be done had already been done. Now, all she had to do was sit back and enjoy the show.
Louise shot Caroline a glare before turning to Liam. “Mr. Liam, your housekeeper isn’t just arrogant–she’s down right vicious. Why haven’t you fired her? With how wealthy your family is. you could replace her with someone younger and better in no time.”
“Housekeeper?” Liam looked slightly confused and was about to explain that Caroline wasn’t one. when his phone rang.
It was his assistant calling.
Liam answered with a frown. I’m not at the factory today. If it’s not urgent, talk to me tomorrow.”
He was just about to hang up when the assistant’s anxious voice came through the phone. “Mr. Liam, the client who received the shipment ten days ago just showed up at the factory. He’s furious. He says there are too many defective items and is demanding a refund!”
“What? A refund?” Liam’s voice rose sharply in panic.
Yesterday, the biggest client they had canceled his order. Now this client was asking for a refund too?
His chest tightened with frustration.
However, when he looked toward the stage, where Helen stood with her head held high confidently, he felt steadied. He calmed down and said, “Fine. If he wants a refund, give it
Take care of it.”
to him.
Once Helen takes home the trophy, she’ll make waves throughout Kingville. Orders would come pouring in
Chapter 39 Go Home, Caroline
After hanging up, he walked over and sat in the empty seat next to Caroline.
“You had a client asking for a refund?” she asked casually.
Liam’s voice had been loud earlier–she had caught every word.
She was only pretending to be concerned.
Finished
Liam waved it off like it was nothing. “It’s just a return. No need to make a big deal out of it.”
Caroline smirked at his nonchalant attitude.
He wasn’t wrong–refunds weren’t the end of the world.
But with this one being such a large order, and another major client already gone because of the fabric shortage… things were quickly spiraling out of control.
