However, talking to Miguel wouldn’t help. They had to wait until Edwin came back. Only then could they discuss the engagement and possibly arrange for someone else to take Caroline’s place.
Miguel frowned. “This is partly your fault too. If you hadn’t fired her back then, she’d be going to work every day. She wouldn’t have had the time to go off the rails like this!”
Liam was speechless. “Miguel, you can’t be serious. She hit someone in the workshop, had at terrible attitude, and refused to admit she was wrong. If I didn’t fire her, how could I maintain order in the factory? Let’s be real–if I hadn’t fired her, she would’ve turned the entire place upside down!”
To him, Caroline had always had a mean streak in her bones. No matter how well others treated her, she never appreciated it. In fact, she only got worse.
From his point of view, she was ungrateful..
Miguel rubbed his aching temples in frustration.
Everyone said the Graysons were well–disciplined. Maybe it was time to let Caroline marry into that family and be their problem.
He planned to find a chance to speak with them about it.
“Everyone, it’s time for dinner.”
At the sound of the maid’s voice, Miguel let the matter go for now. The three of them sat down at the dining table to eat.
Fabian was out drinking with friends again, and Caroline wasn’t home either.
The huge dining table felt especially empty with just the three of them.
Caroline had taken on three jobs in a row that afternoon, working nonstop until eight in the
evening
By now, dinner at home was probably long over.
On her way back, she passed by the market, bought some salmon, and picked up a few vegetables.
When she got home, the sound of the TV told her they were all watching in the living room.
She didn’t bother looking at them and walked straight into the kitchen.
She set the groceries down on the counter, rolled up her sleeves, and started preparing dinner.
Lum’s voice roared from the living room. “How dare you come home? Why didn’t you just drop

At the moment nothing was more important than food.
Once the salmon was cleaned, she stared making soup
As soon as the exhaust fan backed in the loud rumble drowned out any more of Liam’s words
It was not that she cared to hear them
Soon, she finished cooking dinner
Then she cared a bowl of steaming salmon soup to the dining table and began earn slowly savoring both the food and the
The rich aroma drifted into the living room.
“Uncle Liam that soup smells amazing Helen said, eyeing Liam with a look that clearly said she

Liam paned her head fondly Want some? Don’t worry. I’ll go get you a bowl”
Hed smelled it too.
Ever since Wren took over the cooking, he hadn’t melled anything this good.
If it smelled this rich, it had to taste even better
He got up from the couch and headed into the kichen. After grabbing two bowls, he lifted the por lid–only to find it completely empty. His whole body stiffened in shock.
A few seconds later he snapped out of it. Then be stored out of the kitchen and glared at Caroline, who was calmly eating at the table
There’s no sulmon soup left in the port What happened?
Caroline had known exactly what he was up to the moment he walked into the kitchen–and that he’d come back to confront her
She picked up a piece of vegetable and sand flatly. Tonly made one bowl. There’s none left.”
Liam’s voice rose in frustration. You’re really something now, huh? How could you cook just for yourself? You don’t even feel ashamed of your selfahoru.“
Caroline looked up at him coldly. “You’ve all had dinner and I haven’t. I’m eating my dinner

Liam was momentarily speechless. Then he tried again. “Even if that’s the case, you should’ve asked if we wanted any. You’re using the household’s money to buy food and you didn’t cook for us? Isn’t that selfish?”
The household’s money?
Caroline smirked. “Ever since Edwin went on vacation, none of you have given me a single cent for groceries. I’ve been paying out of pocket since last month. How dare you accuse me of spending the family’s money?”
She hardly spent anything on herself..
She hadn’t bought clothes in years. Her skincare products were the cheapest kind with free shipping.
One bottle of hair conditioner lasted her half a year.
While she’d taken care of Fabian all those years, she’d been doing online gigs and made a few thousand dollars.
Add in the savings from working at the factory, she’d managed to put away over ten thousand dollars.
If she hadn’t spent money on groceries last month, she’d probably have even more saved. up

now.
Liam snapped, “Why are you being so petty by keeping track of that? You live here, eat here, and we’ve never asked you for a dime. Just because you paid for groceries one month, you’re throwing it in our faces?”
