Caroline continued, “I don’t give a darn about your daughter’s drama. The only reason I recorded that video and sent it to you was so you could see for yourself what kind of person she really is.”
Compared to the awful things Helen had done, this was nothing.
But Caroline didn’t have proof for those yet. Without evidence, Edwin and the rest of the brothers would never believe her.
Right now, all she could do was help them see that Hel wasn’t the sweet, innocent girl they thought she
was.
Edwin scoffed, “So she made one mistake, and now you’re acting like she’s committed some unforgivable sin? By that logic, considering all the nonsense you pulled in the past, what does that make you–absolute trash? Caroline, here’s a piece of advice: try being a little more decent. Don’t send that video to Teresa.”
He knew Caroline’s character. Of course she’d send it.
Teresa already had her doubts about Helen from the start. If she saw that footage of Helen cozying up to some guy, there was no way she’d still want her as a daughter–in–law.
Caroline had heard insults like this before; she didn’t even flinch now.
With a heavy sigh, she muttered, “Parents … always so blind to their kids mistakes. You’re so busy defending her, but do you even know what she’s been hiding from you? Do you think not sending the video means she gets to stay with the Graysons? Let me tell you the truth–she got kicked out two days ago.”
Edwin froze, stunned. He didn’t believe for a second and retorted, “That’s ridiculous! Stop making things up. You’re just jealous that she married well, and now you want to sabotage her.”
The idea that Helen got kicked out was laughable.
Just a few days ago, Alaina had mentioned she spoke to Helen, and everything was going great at the / Graysons.
Caroline gave a light grunt. “Believe whatever you want. But if you’re really curious, just ask Helen yourself.”
And with that, she ended the call.
Edwin sat there, unsettled. The things Caroline said buzzed in his mind. He immediately tried calling Helen, but none of his calls went through. She didn’t pick up any of them.
He was swamped with work at the office, so after trying several times, he gave up and sent her a message. “Come home tonight. We need to talk.”
Meanwhile, Helen was lying in bed, sore all over from her time with Derek. After he left, she’d gone straight to sleep.
By the time she woke up, a couple of hours had passed.
She glanced at her phone and saw several missed calls and a message from her dad.

Worried something had happened, she was just about to call him back when her phone rang again..
It was Liam.
She quickly answered, “Uncle Liam, did something happen at home?”
Liam asked, “You’ve been staying with the Graysons for a few days now. How’s it going?”
Helen gave a stiff laugh. “It’s fine. Everything’s fine.”
There was no way she’d tell him Teresa had thrown her out,
If he found out, the whole family would know within a lay.
Liam paused, his voice low. “Oh well, as long as you’re doing okay.” Then he sighed heavily.
Helen caught it immediately. “Uncle Liam, is something wrong?”
“It’s the company,” he said. “Ever since you left, the other designers have been absolutely useless. They haven’t produced a single decent design. Things are going downhill fast–our orders are drying up.” He paused again before continuing, “I was hoping you’d come back and help for a bit. Just until we get through this rough patch.”
If Helen returned, maybe they could bounce back.
Even if they couldn’t reach their former glory, at least they wouldn’t keep bleeding money every day.
Helen hesitated and said with difficulty, “I really want to help, but Teresa asked me to stay with her for a few days. If I suddenly leave, she might not be too happy about it.”
Liam didn’t respond. He just kept sighing, one after another.
He wanted Helen back at the company, but he also didn’t want to ruin her shot at happiness.
Liam was deeply troubled. Helen added, “Even if I do come back, it won’t be permanent. It might be better to just find a strong new designer.”
He replied, “We’re trying to hire one, but no luck so far. The experienced designers think our company’s too small. Even when we offer a high salary, they still won’t come.”
That gave Helen an idea; she remembered someone. “Actually, Caroline’s designs aren’t much worse than mine. Why not bring her in for now? Let her handle the design work until you find the right person.”
After all, it was a business founded by her father. Whenever she was there, everyone addressed her respectfully.
