Chapter 151 The Girl Wasn''t Caroline


    +8 Pears


    Geneva caught Helen and Jamie together again today. That gossip-hungry woman probably couldn''t wait to spread the news everywhere.


    Now what?


    ina nced at Edwin, clearly hoping he''d have a solution.


    But Edwin was already staring at her, his eyes full of me.


    He didn''t say a word-just sighed and walked out the door.


    Miguel, Fabian, and Liam followed, remaining quiet as they left.


    Geneva, sensing that ina was in a bad mood, didn''t dare bring up the bone broth again. She slipped out


    too.


    After all, watching that wild scene unfold in person was more exciting than any bowl of bone broth.


    Now only ina was left inside.


    Seeing Jamie''s arm still around Helen, ina snapped. Her fists tightened as she marched over and mmed one right into his face.


    "Get your ass up!"


    Before he could even react, she struck him again.


    "I said get up!"


    Maybe it was the pain, or maybe her yelling finally got through, but Jamie slowly came to.


    Rubbing his sore cheek, he stared at her in confusion. "Why are you hitting me?" ina stood with her hands on her hips. “Because a guy like you deserves it!" Jamie looked even more baffled by her sudden change in attitude. "Deserves it? Yesterday you were saying I was great for Caroline. I helped you with that n, and now you''re freaking out? Well, I''m telling you now- Caroline''s mine. We already slept together. She''s gonna be my wife."


    He turned to kiss Caroline-only to freeze the second he saw the girl beside him. His whole body jolted upright.


    That''s when it hit him.


    It wasn''t Caroline. It was ina''s daughter.


    ina saw the way he kept staring at Helen and nearly exploded. "Still looking? Keep it up and I''ll ge your eyes out! Get the hell off that bed!"


    Jamie winced at her word but forced a smile. "Come on, ina, no need to get so worked up. Don''t worry I''ll take responsibility since Helen and I have already gone this far."


    Helen wasn''t as gorgeous as Caroline but Jamie still felt lucky. She was young and looked good enough- what more could he ask for?

    But ina shot that down fast. "In your dreams. You better crase tonight from your memory like it never happened."


    Her daughter was supposed to marry the Graysons. Jamie didn''t deserve to even think about her.


    Jamie''s grin disappeared, reced by a puzzled look. "Why? Sure, it was an ident, but Helen didn''t fight back. We were both into it. Ask her if you don''t believe me."


    He might''ve been drunk and confused her for someone else, but he clearly remembered how into it she


    was.


    To him, that meant Helen had feelings for him.


    The more he thought about it, the more he wondered-maybe she let him mistake her on purpose.


    ina shot a furious re at Helen.


    Why couldn''t this girl just control herself?


    There were so many men out there-why did it have to be Jamie?


    After a pause, she turned back to Jamie and said, "Helen calls you Uncle Jamie. That means you two should''ve never crossed the line. Forget what happened. Act like none of it ever took ce."


    Jamie frowned. "Uncle Jamie? That''s just being polite. You and my mom are barely even rted, and Helen and I aren''t connected by blood at all."


    He used to wish his mom was ina''s aunt so he could get a job at the Somertonpany through family


    ties.


    Now, he was d there was no real blood rtion. It meant he could still marry her daughter.


    Before ina coulde up with a response, Helen groaned. "Ugh...

    She felt like her whole body had been hit by a truck. Even the smallest movement hurt.


    She shifted slightly, then slowly opened her eyes. When she saw her mom


    standing by the bed, staring at her, her eyes widened in shock.


    She quickly pulled the nket over herself, only showing her head.


    "Mom? You... why are you back? Did Dad and the otherse too?"


    She clearly remembered they''d agreed-she''d send a message first before her mom returned with her father and uncles.


    But she never texted. So how was her mom already here?


    ina''s voice was sharp. "They''re all back. They saw everything. Helen, what the hell happened?"


    Helen''s face turned pale. Tears welled up and spilled over. "It was Jamie... he was drunk and forced himself on me..."


    Jamie cut her off, "You''re an adult and fully aware. If I tried to force you, you could''ve fought back! B.


    didn''t. Instead, you went along with it-and even seemed to enjoy it. So now that


    it''s done, you want to act like it didn''t happen?"
