Chapter 162 ina Found It


    When ina heard that, her brows twitched slightly, and she finally gave in. "Alright, fine."


    She had already been considering it.


    The only problem was that now Caroline had moved out. If she handed the bracelet over, it would be hard to get it back again..


    That bracelet was worth a fortune and just the thought of letting it go made her heart ache.


    A smile appeared across Helen''s face when her mother had finally agreed. She gently rested her head on ina''s shoulder and said sweetly, "Mom, you''re the best. I knew you loved me the most."


    ina chuckled. "Alright, alright. I''ll go give that damn girl the bracelet."


    "Mban"


    Helen straightened up and watched as ina walked toward the bedroom. When ina entered the room, she saw Miguel and Caroline talking quietly. Edwin was standing by the wardrobe, reaching out to open its doors.


    Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly walked over and shoved him aside while scolding him, "There are some of my expensive new clothes in here. Don''t just go digging through things-you''ll mess everything up!


    Edwin stared at her in confusion as he was caught off guard by the shove.


    He hadn''t even had a chance to speak when ina added, "Go check under the bed while I look in the wardrobe. I might as well take the chance to organize my clothes."


    She had hidden the jewelry box in a locked drawer, and the key was tucked into the pocket of one of her jackets.


    If Edwin saw the drawer was locked, he would definitely get suspicious. Normally, that drawer was n locked.


    Even worse, if he found the key and opened it, he''d figure out she was the one who took the box.


    Her earlier lie would fall apart.


    never


    Only when Edwin obediently moved to the bed did ina breathe a small sigh of relief and turn back to rummage through the wardrobe.


    While no one was paying attention, she quickly slipped her hand into the jacket pocket, pulled out t and unlocked the drawer with practiced ease.


    "Found it! The jewelry box was in here all along." ina pulled out the box and set it on the nightstand


    Edwin frowned slightly at the sight of the box and asked, "That''s odd. No one touched it, so how did u end up in the wardrobe?"


    ina came up with an excuse on the spot. "This morning Helen said she wanted to look at that diamond bracelet I boughtst year, so I took the box out for her. Maybe she thought the nightstand drawer wasn''t

    secure and put it in the wardrobe instead. She meant well, after all.


    It sounded reasonable enough, so Edwin didn''t question it. He just silently med Helen


    Why hadn''t Helen said anything earlier in the living room? I''d wanted all that time searching and almost wrongly


    used Caroline.


    After he returned the bracelet to Caroline, she kept her word and deleted the video and the recording right in front of him...


    With her goal achieved, Caroline had no desire to stay a minute longer.


    Just as she stepped outside, Miguel called out behind her. "Caroline!"


    She stopped in her tracks and turned around with a straight face. "Miguel, what is


    it?"


    Miguel looked at her with aplicated expression. "Delivering food is hard work,


    and it doesn''t make much money. Plus, rent out there is expensive. Why note back and live at home?"


    Caroline shook her head. "No thanks. The ce I''m renting might not be as nice as here, but at least it''s peaceful. This house... it''s suffocating."


    Miguel''s eyes dimmed upon hearing that.


    He had felt ufortable with everything that happened today, let alone Caroline, who had been the target of it all.


    ina and Helen''s scheme, Edwin refusing to return the bracelet and using Caroline instead...


    Thinking about it more, he realized this wasn''t the first time something like this had happened. Just like the rest of their brothers, he had always assumed Helen was sweet and kind, incapable of doing wrong.


    So, whenever a problem arose, they automatically med Caroline.


    They never ga


    gave her a chance to exin. They scolded her, even punished her. However, he realized how blind he had been after hearing the recording today.


    He never saw how deep and dark Helen and ina''s thoughts were. The tone in the recording had been cold and sinister. It waspletely different from the soft, gentle voices they usually used.


    They were excellent at pretending.


    He wondered how many times they had schemed against Caroline in the past. Because of them, he and the others had wrongly med her again and again.


    Memories of how he had disciplined Caroline over the years shed through his mind like a slideshow.


    He now knew how miserable she must have felt when she had been wronged and couldn''t defend herself back then.


    "I''m sorry," Miguel suddenly said.


    Caroline''s eyes widened at that "Today''s event had nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing?"


    Miguel''s voice was low and choked with emotion. "I was biased against you all those years. That''s why I
