Chapter 176 Marry Me
This guy’s unbelievable, talking about destiny! And on top of that, he’s Rating Helen But dill has the
me to be his girlfriend. Who even thinks like that?
Linden’s face tightened a bit, a fiach of annoyance crossing his eyes.
“You’re the one who’s crazy! Don’t you know who I am?
At first, Caroline wasn’t going to respond, but his cocky arrirode got on her nerves, and the mapped back “Who are you?”
“What… “Linden hesitated, then pushed on. Even if you don’t follose the newes, you must veheart shant the Graysons in Kingville. Let me tell you–in this town, our family’s like the king and good all rolled m one. We’ve got power and money. No one dares mess with us.
He lifted his chin proudly, hands shoved deep in his pockets, trying to look impressive
But Caroline just laughed mockingly. “Yeah, the Graysons have money, no doubt. But calling yourselves kings of Kingville? That’s a joke. I’ve heard the Sherwoods are the real deal here, they’re way richer and more powerful.”
She’d delivered food to the Sherwood Group plenty of times and knew a lot about them.
The Graysons are rich, sure, but nowhere close to the Sherwoods
When Linden heard that, a flicker of doubt showed on his face, and he looked uncomfortable. “How do youA know about the Sherwoods?”
Then a thought hit him, and his eyes darkened. “You’re not thinking about marrying into the Sherwoods. are you? Listen, the Sherwood heir isn’t like me. He’s cold and ruthless. Every woman who’s tried to marry into that family ended up badly. You’d better give up on that idea.”
No wonder she’s turning down a guy like me.
I underestimated her ambition. Just like every other woman, she’s chasing after power and money.
Caroline knew he got her wrong, but honestly, she didn’t mind. It’d save her from his nonsense.
She played along. “You’re right. I do want to marry the Sherwoods‘ heir. How that turns out is none of your business. You just worry about yourself.”
Linden’s face darkened like iron.
If any other woman talked to him like that, he’d have just walked away, letting her dig her own hole.
But looking at Caroline’s calm face, he wasn’t ready to give up so easily.
He thought for a moment and tried again, I’m warning you, that guy has a terrible temper. He’s not as easy to deal with as me. And he’s not into women. You’ll probably get kicked out before you even get close.”
“Oh yeah?” Caroline’s interest was piqued. “How do you know he’s not into women?”
She actually believed Linden.
During her deliveries, she’d met some people from Sherwood Group and even added a few girls on

WhatsApp.
One of them often talked about the company and the CEO–the Sherwood heir.
The girl said he was strange, never dated, and didn’t want women around him.
Linden said, “Our family still do business with the Sherwoods. Of course, I know.
It was true his family worked with the Sherwoods, but Walter handled everything.
He never met the Sherwood heir. He had only heard from Walter that the guy was odd, avoided people, and never had a girlfriend.
So he figured the heir just wasn’t into women.
“Thanks for the info. Caroline pulled out her phone and checked the time. “I’ve got stuff to do. I’m heading
out.
Linden quickly stepped in front of her. “Did you even listen to what I said?”
Caroline stopped, blocked by him. “I listened and said thanks. What else do you want?
Linden asked, “So even knowing how dangerous the man is, you still want to get close to him?”
Caroline’s voice was steady. “Exactly.”
Linden clenched his teeth in frustration, lost for words for a moment.
Caroline wasn’t about to waste more time standing there with him. Her face blank, she said, “Move, please. I have a lot of work waiting.”
Seconds passed, and Linden still didn’t move.
She had no choice but to push him aside. She took a couple of steps forward before she suddenly felt stron arms wrapping around her waist from behind.
Her heart jumped. She struggled. “Linden, let go of me!”
His body pressed tight against her back, and he whispered near her ear, “You say you want to marry Mr. Sherwood because his family’s rich. How much money do you want? My family’s loaded too. Besides, I’m. easier to get along with than that Mr. Sherwood, and I have feelings for you. Marry me, and I promise you‘ be the envy of every woman in Kingville.”
