Chapter 49 Inappropriate
Finished
“Did I ever say anything about spending money on groceries? I don’t think I did. But now you’re the one saying I spent the family’s money getting groceries!” Caroline rolled her eyes at him..
The money for groceries was already spent, and she had no intention of asking for it back.
In the past, she hadn’t even thought about keeping things so separate.
Liam suddenly became uncomfortable, then spoke up. “Even if you used your own money to buy. groceries, you didn’t buy the oil, salt, soy sauce, and all those seasonings you used. And what about the gas and water bills? Those aren’t on you either. You’re using family resources to cook, and that means you’re taking advantage of the situation.”
Caroline couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.
It seemed like he was scrambling for any excuse to complain now, even bringing up seasonings to make her look bad.
It was clear today that he was determined to label her as greedy.
In his eyes, she was already the villain.
If he wanted to accuse her of something, he’d find any reason.
Caroline decided not to argue further, focusing on her meal instead.
Seeing her silence, Liam grew bolder and more forceful. “Finish your meal, then pack your things. and get out! This house doesn’t welcome you anymore.”
Caroline slammed her utensils down on the table with a sharp snap and glared at him. “I have to leave just because you say so? Why should I?”
The truth was, she had wanted to leave this house for a while.
But how could she walk away without seeing the factory collapse, without watching her brothers lose everything?
Liam snapped, “I already told you at the design competition–if you do anything to harm Helen, I’ll throw you out of this house. I always keep my promises! You need to leave today!”
He was determined to make her leave today and prove he meant what he said.
“You’re such an idiot! Caroline muttered, then turned to look at Helen, who was sitting on the couch. “Tell me, have I done anything to hurt you?”
Helen lowered her head, almost as though she were afraid. She hurried over and tugged at Liam’s sleeve. “Uncle Liam, you and Aunt Caroline are family. I don’t want you two to be at odds because of me Today is all my fault. I just couldn’t win Aunt Caroline’s approval. If anyone should leave, it
should be me.”
