Chapter 160 Fine! I''ll Die Then!


    40 Pears


    Judging from what Edwin and Caroline had just said, Miguel felt like neither of them was lying.


    That jewelry box certainly didn''t have legs-there was no way it could''ve just disappeared on its own.


    He was certain that ina took it.


    Caroline paused. She had never intended to meddle this much in the first ce.


    But now, hearing Miguel speak up, she followed his lead. "Fine. I''ll wait another ten minutes for Miguel''s sake. But if I don''t see my bracelet by then, I''m telling Teresa everything.


    Even if Edwin still refused to believe ina took the jewelry box, he had no choice now but to go ask.


    And maybe, just maybe, ina coulde up with a way to keep Caroline from blowing Helen''s secret to the Graysons.


    Meanwhile, ina and Helen were sitting on the couch in the living room.


    "Mom, do you think that awful Jamie is going to cling to me again? What am I supposed to do?"


    Helen''s voice was thick with tears, and Edwin had barely stepped into the room when he heard it.


    Already annoyed, his mood instantly soured even more.


    "Crying is the only thing that you ever do!"


    His sudden outburst startled both Helen and ina, who whipped around to face him.


    Seeing Edwin standing there with a dark face, ina''s temper red up. "Edwin! What the hell is wrong with you? Trying to scare the life out of us or something?"


    He had already crept in without a sound, and his yelling caused her heart to nearly jump out of her chest.


    Helen felt the same too.


    ina then noticed Helen wiping away her tears silently with her head down.


    It made her heart ache.


    Edwin pointed a finger at Helen, his voice full of frustration and disappointment. “Look at her! All she knows is how to cry every time something happens. With that kind of attitude, how is she supposed to marry into the Graysons? Honestly, she might as well marry Jamie. At least then I won''t have to worry about her anymore!"


    How could someone so fragile ever hope to be the Graysons'' matriarch?


    She''s too weak.


    Helen heard him and thought her father was serious about marrying her off to Jamie. Her tears poured even harder.


    She didn''t dare argue with him while he was so angry. Instead, she turned to ina. “Mom, then what''s the point of living if I were to marry Jamie? I might as well die!"

    With that, she jumped up and ran into the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife.


    ina''s face turned ghostly pale.


    "Helen! What are you doing? Put that knife down, right now!"


    She scrambled to get up and stop her, but Edwin yanked her back by the wrist.


    "Let her die if that''s what she wants!"


    All she ever did was cry or threaten to kill herself. My daughter can''t be this pathetic.


    She had no resilience at all. If she married into the Graysons, how would she possibly manage the household?

    Helen didn''t realize her father was just speaking out of anger. His words stabbed at her heart, and tears streamed down her cheeks non-stop.


    "Fine! I''ll die then!"


    Her hand clenched tightly around the knife handle as she pressed it to her wrist. The moment the de touched her skin, a sharp pain shot through her.


    Within seconds, blood began to seep out from the wound. Startled, she instinctively pulled the knife away.


    She had only wanted to scare her parents, but the knife was sharper than she''d thought. Just a little pressure had drawn blood.


    However, she''d already said too much to back down now..


    Turning her wrist slightly so ina could clearly see the trickle of blood, she said, "Mom, thank you for everything over the years. But I can''t repay you anymore. Please take care of yourself."


    With those words, she raised the knife toward her wrist again.


    She moved slowly this time, hoping her mom would stop her.


    Sure enough, ina panicked.


    She pped Edwin across the face and shouted, "Let me go! I swear I''ll never forgive you if anything happens to our daughter!"


    Seeing how frantic she was, Edwin immediately released her and watched as she ran to Helen.


    "You silly girl! No matter how bad things get, we''ll get through it together as a family! What''s the point in trying to kill yourself?" ina snatched the knife from Helen''s hand and rushed to return it to the kitchen.


    Then she hurried back and grabbed Helen''s wrist, eyes full of worry. "Thank goodness it''s not a deep cut. How would I go on living if you die?


    "I''m just a burden to you and Dad./No one would care if I died. But you-you''re different. You still have Dad. You should go on living well." As Helen spoke, she nced toward her father.


    She''d said that on purpose-just loud enough for him to hear.


    ina caught the meaning too. She turned her head and shot Edwin a sharp look, raising her voice with a hint of me. "People who don''t give a damn about you definitely won''t give a damn about me! But I don''t
