Chapter 213 You Guessed Correctly
Finished
She’d already sensed that the doctor was overly attentive to Caroline at the last banquet. Now it seemed they’d been secretly together all along.
Back when she visited the hospital before, the doctor had been wearing a mask–she didn’t recognize him She even thought he was some random handsome guy.
See, I knew it!
No way a guy would defend Caroline like that the first time they met. Thinking about it now, she must’ve gotten involved with that doctor while she was staying at the hospital.
Mr. Sherwood has to know about this.
With that in mind, she quickly pulled out her phone and snapped several photos of the two.
She didn’t capture any intimate moments, but someone like the Sherwoods‘ heir would never accept his fiancée being alone with another man.
Alaina shook her head in disgust. “That Caroline is shameless. She’s landed Mr. Sherwood and still isn’t satisfied–now she’s secretly having an affair with some younger guy behind his back.”
If Caroline had just listened to them, she might’ve actually tried to talk some sense into her–told her to be grateful for the blessing she’d been given, took good care of the Sherwoods‘ heir, and let the Somertons enjoy the benefits and the prestige too.
But Caroline had been going against them at every turn, treating them like outsiders. So she wouldn’t warn her.
Let Caroline ruin herself!
Ruth snorted and said mockingly, “You two are so naive. How could an old man satisfy a fickle woman like Caroline? I bet she has other men besides that old guy and this pretty boy.”
I hope she finds even more! Helen watched Caroline get into the man’s car and immediately started snapping photos.
Alaina asked, “Are you planning to show those to Mr. Sherwood?”
She still remembered how Caroline once had dirt on Helen and threatened to show it to Linden, Helen’s
fiancé.
That whole mess even cost her a bracelet worth a fortune.
Now that Helen had something on Caroline, it was only fair to show it to Caroline’s so–called fiancé.
Helen smirked. “That’s right.”
Too bad she didn’t catch anything more intimate. If she’d gotten a shot of them hugging or kissing, it would’ve been enough for the Sherwoods‘ heir to dump Caroline.
Still, it didn’t matter. The angle/she got made it look like Caroline and that doctor were practically inseparable.
Even if it didn’t lead to a breakup, it would at least create some tension between them.

And more importantly, it gave her a chance to
get close to the Sherwoods‘ heir.
Finished
She had made Linden fall for her, she could do the same with the Sherwoods‘ heir,
As she pictured him completely enchanted by her, she was oblivious that the doctor she looked down on was the very man in her fantasics.
Blake drove Caroline to a café.
They ordered coffee and some snacks, then ate and chatted.
“Blake, you helped me again. Thank you,” Caroline said, her eyes full of gratitude.
He had a cool, distant look, yet he’d been like an angel, helping her repeatedly
Without Blake, she wasn’t sure where she’d be now.
But one thing was certain–she wouldn’t have been able to open her restaurant so quickly.
Blake took a sip of his coffee and said, “Friends should help each other. No need to be so polite.”
Help each other?
Caroline smiled awkwardly. It had always been him helping her–she had never really done anything for him.
The one time she did go with him to an event, they ran into the Somertons and things got unpleasant.
In the end, it was still Blake who stepped in to smooth things over.
After a moment of thoughtful silence, she suddenly asked, “Can I ask you something personal?”
Blake replied calmly, “Sure, go ahead.”
He actually hoped Caroline would ask more about him.
Otherwise, he didn’t know how to get her to know him better.
Caroline hesitated slightly. “Are you related to the Sherwoods from Sherwood Group?”
Blake looked surprised, then a smile touched his eyes. “What makes you think that?”
“In Kingville, only the Sherwoods can put the Graysons in their place, and your last name is Sherwood. It’s a logical guess, right?” Caroline said. She understood Linden–he’d threatened her so fiercely yesterday, he wouldn’t have let her restaurant go easily unless someone powerful stopped him.
Blake didn’t keep her in the dark. “You guessed correctly. I do have some connection to the Sherwoods.”
