Edwin waved his hand. “Forget it, I don't want to embarrass myself again."

Alaina frowned, and there was a trace of disappointment on her face. "How is that embarrassing? She not only owns a restaurant now, but she's also engaged to Mr. Sherwood. We still need her support."

Helen tugged at her sleeve. "Mom, you're speaking too soon. Did you forget what we saw today? Caroline was with that doctor."

Everyone in the living room looked at Helen, who had a mocking smile on her face. "Caroline is supposed to be Mr. Sherwood's fiancée, yet she was openly flirting with another man. No man out there would accept his woman making a fool of him like that? Especially someone as proud as Mr. Sherwood."

Alaina, eager for Edwin to apologize and get the restaurant up and running so she could become the boss' wife, almost overlooked that incident.

She agreed. "Caroline wasn't thinking straight. If only Helen were engaged to Mr. Sherwood instead; she always puts the family first... Such a pity. We finally landed such a great match, but it looks like Caroline is about to spoil everything."

Edwin felt even more frustrated hearing this.

Alas, this was fate.

Helen never had the same luck as Caroline. What Helen worked hard for, Caroline would receive effortlessly. However, she didn't appreciate it.

Take the engagement with the Graysons, for instance. Caroline wasn't interested, so the arrangement was given to Helen instead.

Helen managed well and earned Linden's favor. Unfortunately, Linden had little power, and at this point, the Somertons couldn't expect much gain from that connection.

Then there was Caroline. They expected her to just coast through life and marry some ordinary guy.

Who would've thought she'd end up with Blake and even become his fiancée! She was lucky!

Unfortunately, Caroline looked like she was about to ruin it all.

The thought annoyed Edwin. Caroline never paid attention to anything he said. There was nothing he could do.

Helen saw the heavy mood around the room and felt a hint of guilt. "I know things are difficult for our family right now. It's just that Linden isn't on the same level as Mr. Sherwood, so he can't offer much help."

"We appreciate that you see it this way. It's not your fault," Alaina said with a sigh. "It's just that not everyone cares about the family as much as you do."

Her words were clearly aimed at Caroline, subtly blaming her for refusing to join them in opening the

restaurant.

Helen lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, then smiled. "Don't worry. If Caroline refuses this incredible chance, I'll make sure our family seizes it."

Chapter 220 Fall In Love with Me

Everyone looked puzzled until Alaina asked, "And how do you plan to do that?"

Helen's smile remained confident. "To bring our family back to its glory days, I'll find a way to win Mr. Sherwood's heart. He's not like Linden; he leads Sherwood Group and has both wealth and power. If I marry him, you'll never have to stress about money again. We might even be able to reopen the clothing factory."noveldrama

Seeing how practical she was, both Liam and Edwin felt a warm pride in their hearts.

All their care for her hadn't been a waste.

But they both knew it wouldn't be as simple as she made it sound.

"I've heard Mr. Sherwood is quite a loner and not easy to get close to. Many women have tried to marry him but failed," Edwin said after a moment. "And you're still with Linden, which makes things even harder."

Liam nodded in agreement. "I feel the same way. Helen, we know your intentions are for the family's good, but Mr. Sherwood isn't someone to cross. Anyone who angers him pays the price. I'm worried about you. "Oh, Uncle Liam, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. And as for Linden, I'll keep my distance."

Alaina took her hand. "Linden really cares about you. If you end up with Mr. Sherwood, won't Linden resent you and try to get back at you?"

It wouldn't be the first time a couple broke up and became enemies, with the woman suffering the man's revenge.

Linden came from a wealthy family, so taking revenge on Helen would be easy for him.

Helen's expression didn't change; she seemed completely unfazed. "Mom, don't worry. I'll find a reason to break up with Linden. Besides, Teresa never liked me

much anyway, so things would be easy."
