My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline)

Chapter 238 The Truth Hurts

Finished

The moment the news hit her, Helen froze. Her whole body went stiff, and her mind went completely blank, humming with static.

He is what? The CEO of the Sherwood Group?

This couldn't be right. Isn't he just a doctor?

She still remembered pretending to faint just to get treated at the hospital-that was the very same man who examined her.

What the heck is going on?

Her thoughts turned to mush, her mind spinning with confusion. Whatever else Linden said after that, she didn't hear a single word.

"Why are you just standing there? Say something to Mr. Sherwood-apologize!" Linden gave her a nudge, snapping her out of her daze.

Helen looked up at Blake. The memories of what she'd said to him, what had happened between them-it all rushed back, and she was filled with regret.

And then, the image of how close he'd been with Caroline flashed through her mind again, and the regret turned to jealousy.

Why was Caroline always the lucky one?

Blake noticed she still hadn't spoken. His voice came low and calm, but with unmistakable authority. "No need to apologize. Now that you know who I am, I'm sure you understand what that means. So let me be clear-stay in your lane. Don't get ideas about things you shouldn't, and don't go near people you're not supposed to. Is that understood?"

His words were polite, but the pressure in his tone was suffocating.

Helen instinctively nodded. "Understood."

And she did understand. The person Blake was warning her not to touch-that was Caroline.

But Caroline was the one she hated most in the world. Helen had thought that once she took Linden from her, she'd finally be on top, and Caroline would be nothing.

Who would've thought Caroline had somehow gotten close to Mr. Sherwood himself?

The whole party suddenly meant nothing to Helen. She didn't c taking photos with the stars she'd once adored.

So she left-quietly, alone.

But she didn't go back to the Grayson estate. Instead, she made her way to Galaxy Bay Residences. She wanted to find Caroline.

Caroline had just gotten out of the shower and was eurled up on the couch watching TV when her phone

rang.

The number was unfamiliar, but she picked up anyway out of habit. "Hello, who's this?"noveldrama

"I'm downstairs. Come down-I have something to talk to you about."

The voice on the other end made her eyebrows knit in surprise. Helen? Why was she calling?

They had nothing left to say to each other. In fact, Caroline had blocked Helen's number ages ago.

She's calling from a different number?

Whatever she wanted, it couldn't be anything good.

"I'm busy," Caroline said flatly and moved to hang up.

But Helen's voice came quickly, almost in a panic. "Wait! Don't you want to hear what I know about Dr. Sherwood?"

Blake? Caroline hesitated. "What about Dr. Sherwood?" she asked.

"Come down and I'll tell you."

Caroline knew it had to be a trap, but just hearing Blake's name made her heart race. Against her better judgment, her legs carried her out the door and down the stairs.

She spotted Helen right away, sitting on a bench near the building entrance.

Waking up, Caroline cut straight to the point. "What do you want to say about Dr. Sherwood? I've got things to do, so make it quick."

Helen scoffed. "Dr. Sherwood? Is that what you still call him? Are you really that clueless, or just pretending to be?"

Caroline was startled by her words. Suddenly, she chuckled, "What are you talking about? We both saw him working at the hospital, remember? Are you seriously telling me now he's not a doctor? Have you lost your mind?"

She had stayed at that hospital. Blake had been her attending physician. Not only that-he'd been professional and capable.

But Helen didn't get angry at the pushback. In fact, she laughed. "So, you really didn't know? Looks like you're not that special to him after all."

Caroline was thrown. She didn't know what Helen was playing at, but something about her tone didn't feel like a lie.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked with a growing sense of unease.

Helen sighed like she pitied her.

“Alright, I'll be the kind one and spell it out for you. Your so-called Dr. Sherwood? He's not a doctor. He's the CEO of the Sherwood Group." She leaned back smugly on the bench, arms crossed, a mocking smile on her face. "Surprised?" Caroline's expression froze.

Blake is the Sherwood Group CEO? That mysterious heir?

But I always thought he was just a distant relative.

According to the rumors, the real CEO was supposed to be reclusive, ruthless, and cold to everyone around him. That didn't match the Blake she knew at all.

It couldn't be him... Could it?

Helen went on, her voice dripping with disdain. “But don't go celebrating just yet. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't have kept this a secret. He's just playing house with you-slumming it for fun. Once he's bored, he'll toss you aside like you're nothing."
