Darlene, stuttering, recounted the troubles of the Bryant family’s business.

“Mr. Gilbert is taking this out on your family because of me! Could you talk to him and ask him to cut us some slack, please?”

Caroline was surprised. Gilbert was making things difficult for the Bryant family?

Darlene thought it was because of her?

But Caroline had a feeling… it probably wasn’t.

Keeping her composure, Caroline said, “You’re overthinking this. Gilbert has always been able to separate personal issues from business. This is probably just a business decision and has nothing to do with you. The ones who should be looking for a reason are your father and your brothers.”

“Really?”

Darlene, frowning, was skeptical.

“Really,” Caroline nodded. “Don’t I know him well?”

“Really.”

Caroline reassured her, “You shouldn’t take all this responsibility upon yourself. As for solving this, it’s not something you can handle.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Darlene murmured, convinced. “I understand.”

After Darlene left, Caroline’s expression suddenly turned serious.
