    But seeing how Caroline had blossomed in thest couple of years, she couldn''t help but feel jealous. Compared to Caroline, Helen seemed so in.


    It didn''t sit right with her. If fate had given Caroline the looks, then the other good things in life should go


    to Helen.


    So,tely, she''d been watching for potential matches for Caroline while also figuring out how to switch Caroline''s engagement to the Graysons to Helen.


    Now, everything seemed to be falling into ce.


    Helen smiled. “Mom, not only that, but Miguel said the engagement should go to


    me. Soon, he''ll take me to meet the Graysons."

    She was counting down the days, eagerly awaiting that meeting.


    Once she met them, the engagement would be regretted it, she wouldn''t be able to take it back.

    good as hers, and no matter how much Caroline


    ina, hearing this, beamed with excitement. "That''s fantastic! Wonderful!"


    Now, she didn''t have to rack her brain about how to set it all up.


    Then, a thought crossed her mind, and she grabbed Helen''s hand, giving her a quick piece of advice. "During this time, you should focus on taking care of yourself. Freshen up your look, and maybe buy some high-end jewelry. The Graysons are a big family, so when you meet them, you must make a good impression, okay?"


    If the Graysons didn''t like Helen, this whole thing would end.


    Helen nodded eagerly. "Don''t worry, Mom. I''ll take care of everything."


    There were no ugly women, onlyzy ones.


    She wasn''t bad-looking, and once she freshened up a little, the Grayson sessor would fall all over her.


    Outside the door, Caroline heard this and lost all interest. Without a word, she turned and walked off toward her room.


    She didn''t hear ina''s following sentence.


    "I heard from your dad that there''s a big charity g the day after tomorrow. Some


    of the city''s wealthiest people and higli-society women will be there. You shoulde with us, taste the high life, and learn to mingle with those socialites."


    It was about learning the ropes of high society so she''d be respected and not looked down upon.


    When she eventually married into the Graysons, she didn''t risk embarrassing herself with poor manners

    Helen gave a soft, obedient smile. "Yeah, I''ll learn all the right things.


    Meanwhile, Caroliney in bed after a shower, thinking about what Edwin had just said to her and reflecting on the conversation she overheard between ina and Helen.


    She let out a heavy sigh.


    This cold, suffocating house was unbearable, and she didn''t want to stay another minute.


    But if she left now, wouldn''t that be precisely what they wanted?


    No way.


    They shouldn''t expect to have a peaceful life if they wouldn''t let her live in peace.

    Every day she was still alive felt like a win, and if she didn''t make a scene and turn this house upside down, it would be too pathetic.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the night of the charity g soon arrived.


    Caroline, as nned with ke, went first to Gxy Bay Residences.


    She walked up to ke''s door, noticing it was open.


    Standing outside, she knocked politely. "Dr. Sherwood?"


    A long leg appeared from around the corner inside the house in a moment.


    ke was wearing a sharp suit paired with a deep gray tie.


    Caroline had never seen him dressed so formally before.


    She silently admired him. His physique was incredible, but he looked absolutely stunning in that suit.


    Her gaze traveled up from his shoes to his face.


    Maybe it was the lighting in the house, but his skin looked almost unnaturally white.


    The almost ethereal paleness gave him an aloof, cold look.


    "What are you standing there for? Come on in."


    ke''s voice broke her focus, and she stepped inside.


    "Dr. Sherwood, did you invite me here for something?"


    Originally, she had nned to wait for him at the neighborhood entrance, but ke had asked her toe up instead.


    ke''s lips curled into a slight smile. "I had someone bring over a dress for you.


    You''ll change into it and join me for the g."


    Caroline instinctively looked down at her dress and then at ke''s outfit.


    It definitely didn''t match

    She gave an awkward smile. “I''m guessing this g is really important to you,


    huh? Sorry, I just picked somethingfortable to wear."


    She knew men often liked showing off their partners and hearingpliments about their beauty.


    That''s why she had picked out the most beautiful dress from her closet.


    But standing next to ke, it felt like it was stillcking
