My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 For Your Good

“He’ll come.” Helen was certain Blake would show up.

After all, he was the CEO of Sherwood Group, a high–profile figure in Kingville. A man like that wouldn’t take betrayal lying down–especially when the betrayer was his fiancée.

She figured Blake must be both furious and anxious right now, eager to get more proof from her.

Not that she had any. She’d made up that excuse just to lure him out.

If he ended up asking for evidence, she’d come up with some excuse to dodge the question.

Alaina still had her doubts, but Helen sounded so confident that she decided not to push further. The two of them walked into the restaurant together.

As they had planned, once inside, they acted like they didn’t know each other. Alaina picked a quiet corner table, while Helen took the empty one behind her. She placed a bouquet of roses, prepared in advance, on the table, waiting for Blake to arrive.

There were still more than ten minutes left before noon. Helen assumed Blake was probably still at his office. What she didn’t know was that Blake had already arrived.

He was sitting quietly in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, sipping tea.

He had seen the moment Helen and Alaina walked in.

He also noticed the bouquet of roses on Helen’s table and curled his lips into a faint smile.

So it is her.

Blake set down his teacup, stood up, and walked over to Helen’s table. Without a word, he pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.

Helen’s face changed the moment she saw his face. “What are you doing here?”

A flash of panic crossed her mind. Did he somehow find out she had secretly taken those photos and arranged to meet Blake today?

But only Alaina, Ruth, and she knew about that. Even Edwin and those uncles of hers were in the dark.

Blake glanced at her heavily made–up face and smiled faintly. “Then why are you here? On a date?”

“Exactly,” Helen snapped. “My boyfriend’s coming any minute. So get lost–you’re in the way!”

But right after saying it, she regretted it. This man was entangled with Caroline, so he probably knew that her boyfriend was Linden.

What if he saw her with Blake later and decided to tell Linden?

She hadn’t officially gotten together with Blake yet. She couldn’t afford to lose Linden now.

Changing tactics, she said, “Actually, I’m here to meet an important friend. Someone you don’t want to mess with. I’d advise you to leave before you ruin something serious.”

Blake didn’t budge. “Is it about Caroline?”

Just the mention of her name made a cold light flicker in Blake’s eyes He remembered how this constantly tried to frame Caroline and now she was about to start spreading rumors again.

Helen’s expression showed a flicker of shock.

How could he know?

But she quickly masked her surprise and scoffed, “I don’t have time to talk about Caroline.

“No?” Blake’s voice turned icy, sending a chill down Helen’s spine.

“Of course not! I’ve got way too much going on to worry about Caroline.”

The words had barely left her lips when Blake pulled out several photos from who knows where and tossed them on the table.

Helen’s pupils contracted slightly when she saw them.

They were the very same photos she had sent to Blake yesterday. How had this man–just a doctor–gotten hold of them?

Sure, he had some connection to Sherwood Group, but she had specifically instructed that the photos be delivered directly into Blake’s hands. She even paid someone inside the company to make sure it happened That person swore they saw the CEO’s assistant personally bring the envelope into Blake’s office.

Blake watched her eyes dart around, then asked calmly, “You took these?”
