My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline)

Chapter 219 Stubborn Girl

+8 Pearls

Caroline paused briefly before saying, "Is there any kind of job where you're not limited? If you're genuinely interested in restaurant work, I actually need extra hands right now. You can come and try it out for a few days at my place."

The restaurant was a bit hectic lately, but still manageable.

She had no real intention of hiring anyone just yet, and she knew full well that Edwin and Liam, who were used to lofty positions, would never humble

themselves to work in a restaurant.

So she made the offer on purpose.

Edwin's expression darkened with rage the moment he heard that.

Caroline was clearly beyond reasoning with.

He had been so courteous the entire time, and this was how she responded?noveldrama

Liam was also livid. After all, he used to be the distinguished-manager, and now Caroline was telling him to be a server?

It was nothing short of a slap in the face.

His face flushed with fury. "Girl, are you really refusing to expand the restaurant?”

Caroline replied coolly, "Whether I expand or not is entirely up to me. What's that got to do with you?"

Liam huffed in anger. "Fine, very well then. Don't come crying later!"

He stormed off, and Edwin, realizing it was useless to argue with someone this hardheaded girl, left in frustration too.

Caroline returned to the restaurant. She had barely had a moment to relax before getting a call from Miguel.

"Caroline, Edwin and Liam went to speak with you in person. Why did you suddenly change your mind and turn them down?"

She replied, "When did I ever say that just because they came, I'd agree to anything?"

There was silence on the line. Caroline continued, "They want me to expand the restaurant, but they're not willing to put in a cent. That's just taking advantage of me! Don't get involved in this. I'm not agreeing."

Miguel knew he owed Caroline a favor, but with the company just having collapsed, Edwin really couldn't afford to help financially. To him, it seemed only fair for Caroline to pitch in.

"Edwin and Liam genuinely want to run the restaurant with you. If things go well, the whole family could join in. Wouldn't that be great?" Miguel paused, then added, "Forget the money. Just tell me, what would it take for you to agree to expand the restaurant?"

Caroline laughed to herself in silence.

Even if they brought money to the table, she still wouldn't agree to partner up with them on the restaurant

She wasn't about to fall into the same trap again.

She'd made her stance very clear plenty of times and had no desire to repeat it, so she said, “You already know how Edwin and Liam treated me before. As they said, I'm cold, petty, and incapable of forgiveness. If they're serious about opening a restaurant, let them kneel and apologize to me. If I can find it in myself to forgive them, then maybe we'll talk."

With that, Caroline ended the call.

She knew someone like Edwin, who already felt humiliated just coming to ask her, would never stoop so low as to kneel and beg.

She'd said it on purpose.

No matter what happened, she would never go into business with them again in this lifetime.

Back at the Somertons' villa.

Miguel had the phone on speaker, so everyone in the room heard Caroline's voice loud and clear.

Edwin slammed the table in fury. "That girl really doesn't know how to let go of the past!"

He was so much older than Caroline, and her uncle no less. Kneeling to her? How could he even consider it?

Liam, on the other hand, chuckled. "I told you she was a lost cause, but you didn't want to listen. Do you get it now?"

When he and Alaina went to see Caroline and got turned down, he realized nothing would change.

But he couldn't argue with Edwin, so he went anyway.

And what came of it? It was all in vain.

That stubborn Caroline was impossible to convince.

Alaina's expression was unpleasant, but it was more complex than just anger.

She glanced at Edwin and said, "Why don't you just go apologize to Caroline?"

Caroline was now Blake's fiancée.

It was exactly because of this that she could act so boldly and treat them so coldly.

With that kind of wealth and standing, it would be a real loss if her family didn't benefit from it.

She only wished it had been Helen who had that kind of luck instead.

Edwin gave her a reproachful look. "Didn't you hear what she said? She doesn't want just an apology; she

wants me to kneel."

How could he kneel so easily, especially to that brat Caroline?

He'd never do it, not in a million years.

Of course, Alaina heard him. She forced a strained smile. "She's probably just angry. If you apologize sincerely and don't argue back, just go with what she says-once she cools off, she likely won't make you kneel."
