Chapter 190 Relative?
Finished
A sudden idea hit Liam, and his eyes widened. “Dr. Sherwood has the same last name as Mr. Sherwood. Could they be related?”
Edwin paused, then smacked his forehead and chuckled. “That makes sense! I should’ve thought of that. You catch on fast.”
That would explain why Blake showed up at the Sherwood Group. He was probably helping out the Sherwoods‘ heir with some business.
After the last encounter, Edwin had already sensed that Blake wasn’t just an ordinary doctor.
He had always wondered how someone like Caroline, from a humble background, could end up connected to the Sherwoods.
Now it clicked–she must’ve met the Sherwoods‘ heir through Blake.
Noticing Blake heading for his car, Edwin and Liam rushed to catch him before he got in.
Edwin forced a smile. “Dr. Sherwood, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into you here.
Blake glanced over, and the memory of Caroline getting slapped came to mind.
His expression darkened. He didn’t bother saying anything more, so he just responded with a nod.
Wyatt, who was standing nearby, had already opened the car door. Blake leaned down and got in.
Before Wyatt could shut the door, Edwin quickly grabbed it to stop him.
Wyatt’s expression darkened, and he spoke with irritation. “Do you even know who you’re blocking? Move before you regret it.”
Claiming to be Blake’s girlfriend’s brother was one thing, but standing in his way was just too much.
It was just ridiculous.
Edwin smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, but I need Dr. Sherwood’s help with so thing urgent.”
Hearing Edwin’s way of addressing Blake, Wyatt realized Edwin didn’t know Blake’s true position as the Sherwood Group’s CEO.
He was about to reveal Blake’s identity when Blake got out of the car and said, “Park the car in the company lot. Take the rest of the day off.”
Wyatt hesitated. “But…”

Blake had poor vision. Without his glasses, he couldn’t drive himself.
If Wyatt left now, how would Blake get home?
“No buts. Just go.”
With that, Wyatt/had no choice but to obey.
Watching how quickly Wyatt followed orders, Edwin began to suspect Blake had a lot of authority in the

company.
If that was true, then asking him to set up a meeting with the Sherwoods‘ heir might not be difficult.
“Sorry for bothering you, Dr. Sherwood.”
Blake glanced at his watch. “If you need to talk, we can go to the café across the street.”
From the worried look on Edwin’s face, Blake figured it wasn’t something simple or quick.
It wasn’t appropriate to talk at the company entrance.
Edwin quickly agreed. “Of course, thank you.”
If Blake was open to hearing him out, there was still a chance to turn things around for his business.
At the café, after placing their orders, Blake asked, “So, what did you want to talk about?”

He honestly didn’t want to deal with Edwin, but he was afraid Edwin would end up dragging Caroline into it again.
Blake had already learned that it wasn’t the first time something like that had happened.
Edwin never considered whether Caroline could handle the pressure or if it might hurt her.
He was always selfish and inconsiderate.
Looking stressed, Edwin said, “My company is in trouble. I was hoping you could help me get in touch with the Sherwoods‘ heir. You must be close to him, right? Maybe you could set up a meeting?”
Blake sipped his coffee and set the cup down slowly. “A meeting could be arranged, but you’ve probably heard he doesn’t do favors for just anyone.”
Edwin felt a wave of relief and smiled. “There’s something you might not know. Caroline is dating Mr. Sherwood now. That connection should make it easier.”
To someone like the Sherwoods‘ heir, helping with a small issue like his wouldn’t be a big deal.
Edwin felt confident the Sherwoods‘ heir would help.
“Girlfriend?” Blake raised an eyebrow, unsure of the situation.
Edwin nodded. “Exactly. And honestly, I should thank you. Without you, Caroline would’ve never crossed paths with a big shot like Mr. Sherwood.”
Blake gave a slight, unreadable smile at that.
He introduced Caroline to the Sherwoods‘ heir?
What a ridiculous assumption.
Edwin kept his eyes on Blake’s face, looking for any sort of reaction.
Seeing that Blake secmed rather pleased, Edwin continued, “So, Dr. Sherwood, does that mean you’ll help?”
