Chapter 172 You Have to Come With Me


    Finding a good chef isn''t hard if the price is right.


    And of course, the


    Graysons will cover the cost. I just have to bring someone over to their home.


    After all, the Graysons have


    more money than they can spend; they won''t care about the fees.


    But as soon as Linden heard this, he quickly cut her off. "Forget it. Don''t bother


    with my mom. If she wants a chef, she can find one herself."


    Teresa had liked Caroline''s cooking, but after Caroline turned her down, she never talked about it again.


    When Linden said he was helping Teresa find a chef, it was really just an excuse to track down Caroline.


    Helen didn''t push the subject after that.


    She hadn''t forgotten why she''d called Linden back tonight in the first ce.


    It waste, and outside the house, everything was quiet.


    Helen paused, then finally said, “Linden, ourpany''s having some problems. Can you help?"


    Linden sounded casual, almost like he didn''t care. "What kind of problems?" He''d heard of the Somertons''pany-just a small clothing factory.


    Compared to the Graysons'' empire, it was barely a blip.


    Helen pursed her lips and exined what was going on with herpany.


    After listening, Linden didn''t think it was anything serious. "I know some people. I can help get some publicity for yourpany. But keeping your staff depends on how strong your business really is."


    Helen frowned. "Thanks, but that doesn''t fix the urgent cash shortage we''re facing right now..."


    "So what do you want me to do?"


    He waited for her answer. "Thepany''s really short on money. Could you lend my dad 380,000? Don''t worry. Once things get better even a little, I''ll pay you back."


    She didn''t mean what she said.


    The Graysons are rich; a few hundred thousand won''t faze them.


    Besides, I''m basically his now, so it makes sense for him to just give me the money.


    What surprised her was that Linden/didn''t say yes right away.


    He was quiet for a long moment, then said, "If it were 20,000 or 30,000, no problem. But 380,000? I really can''t pull that out."


    Helen froze for a second.


    After thinking it over, she asked, "You''re from the richest family in Kingville. How could you not have that kind of money?"

    Who would believe that?


    She felt disappointed and a bit shocked.


    She didn''t expect Linden to hesitate over a few hundred thousand.


    A bitter smile crossed Linden''s face. "Just because the Graysons have money doesn''t mean I do. My parents control all the family money."


    "Still, you''re the eldest son of the Graysons. You must have at least a few hundred thousand." Helen had a hard time believing it.


    Linden is the only son, and he works in the family business; surely he has millions to spend.


    Seeing the doubt on her face, Linden sighed. "My dad''s actually really strict. Since


    I was a kid, he''s controlled my money. I only get about 100,000 a month to spend."


    Helen got angry. “That''s awful. Is he going to control you forever?"


    If that''s all he gets to spend each month, how is his life any different from anyone else''s?


    What''s the point of me trying so hard to marry him?


    Linden said, "Don''t worry. Dad said once I get married, he''ll stop controlling my money. And he ns to hand thepany over to me."


    In the past, Walter hadn''t been so strict, buttely, Linden had spent too much on


    women.


    Those greedy women even came to the house causing trouble.


    To stop that, Walter tightened control, giving him just a small allowance.


    Helen quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Good. It''s not permanent.


    Otherwise, my long-awaited dream would be crushed again.


    If Linden isn''t going to give me the money, fine. But what am I supposed to do now?


    She frowned, then sighed again. "I thought you wouldn''t be short on cash. Today I told my dad you were a good guy, and you''d definitely lend him the money. Now that you can''t, what am I supposed to tell him?" Hearing Helen praise him like that


    to her father made Linden feel a little embarrassed about saying no.


    After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "How about this? I''ll ask my dad for


    some money, but you have toe with me."


    Helen looked up at him, unsure. "Why do I have to go with you?"


    Linden said, "If I go alone, my dad won''t trust me. But if youe, he''ll see you''re


    from the Somertons and will lend you the money."
