Chapter 222 For Your Good


    "He''lle." Helen was certain ke 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 ke 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''de up with some excuse to dodge the question.


    ina 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 nned, once inside, they acted like they didn''t know each other. ina picked a quiet corner table, while Helen took the empty one behind her. She ced a bouquet of roses, prepared in advance, on the table, waiting for ke to arrive.


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


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


    He had seen the moment Helen and ina 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.


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


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


    ke nced at her heavily made-up face and smiled faintly. "Then why are you here? On a date?"


    "Exactly," Helen snapped. "My boyfriend''sing 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 keter and decided to tell Linden?


    She hadn''t officially gotten together with ke 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."


    ke didn''t budge. "Is it about Caroline?"

    Chapter 222 For Your Good


    Just the mention of her name made a cold light flicker in ke''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?" ke''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 ke 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 ke 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 ke''s hands. She even paid someone inside thepany to make sure it happened That person swore they saw the CEO''s assistant personally bring the envelope into ke''s office.


    ke watched her eyes dart around, then asked calmly, "You took these?"


    She stared at him. Though he phrased it like a question, she knew it was an usation.


    He was here on Caroline''s behalf.


    And since he already knew the truth, there was no point in pretending anymore.


    The panic on her face vanished, reced with bold defiance.


    "So what if I did? If you two have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?"


    ke didn''t bother arguing. He got straight to the point. "Why did you send these to the CEO of Sherwood Group?"


    "That''s none of your business," Helen shot back. Then, after a pause, she added, "Actually, I did it for your good."


    ke''s lips curled into a mocking grin. "For my good? How do you figure?"


    "Do you even know that Caroline is Mr. Sherwood''s fiancée?"


    ke said nothing, just looked at her


    His silence, in Helen''s eyes, was as good as confirmation. Otherwise, he wouldn''t


    be so calm.
