My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline)

Chapter 187 I Don't Know Him

Back then, Caroline would give Edwin a thumbs up and praise him for being capable.

After a brief pause, he decided to come clean. "Honestly, it's not a small issue. The company owes a lot of money and is close to shutting down."

Caroline asked, "So you're going to ask Mr. Sherwood for money?"

From the looks of it, the company needed a big sum.

Otherwise, Edwin wouldn't have reached out to the Sherwoods.

Edwin quickly clarified, "No, not money. I just want him to visit the company and give us a bit of publicity."

The Sherwoods' heir wasn't like Linden. His influence in Kingville was on a whole different level.

If he was willing to show up and say a few nice words, clients would come running.

And once their creditors heard the company had ties to the Sherwoods, they'd likely back off.

Caroline understood their purpose. By now, she was almost done eating.

She said plainly, "Sounds like a solid plan. Too bad I don't know Mr. Sherwood." Her response hit Edwin hard.

He stared at her. "Then why did you act like you had connections with him earlier?"

Caroline shrugged. "Did I ever say that? I never told you I knew him. That was your assumption."

He was always like that, believing what he wanted without asking her or listening to her explanation.

"Sorry, I can't help." Caroline stood up and walked off.

Edwin watched her go, his face darkening with every step she took.

Liam said, "Edwin, do you think she's lying? Maybe she's still mad about you hitting her before."

Edwin's expression slightly softened when he heard that. "That's probably the reason."

For some reason, he felt a faint sense of guilt. He started to wish he had treated Caroline better in the past.

If he had, their company might not be in such deep trouble now.

Liam snorted. "Caroline is so ungrateful. It's one thing for her to be stubborn at home, but now that the company's falling apart, she's still acting cold. If we go bankrupt because of her, I swear I'll beat her!"

All she had to do was talk to the Sherwoods' heir. They didn't ask much.

She knew how bad things were, yet she still turned her back on them. Liam couldn't think of anyone colder than her.

Edwin frowned deeply, and his voice was sharp. "That's enough. Quit

complaining. Start thinking of a way out. We'll go talk to Mr. Sherwood ourselves."

Chapter 187 I Don't Know Him

Since Caroline refused to help, they had no choice but to handle it on their own. Finished

After all, he was Caroline's biological brother. That connection should be enough

to get them a chance to speak with the Sherwoods' heir.

If they could just get a meeting, maybe that tie to Caroline would be enough to turn things around for their

company.

Liam frowned. "But we don't even know where Caroline lives. How are we supposed to find Mr. Sherwood? If we at least knew what he looked like, we could wait outside her apartment building."

Edwin thought for a moment and said, "If we can't find him there, let's just go directly to the Sherwood Group.”

After leaving the restaurant, they headed straight to the Sherwood Group.

Liam stood before the towering building, staring up in amazement.

"Wow, no wonder everyone talks about the Sherwood Group-it's so grand!"

He'd passed by a few times before, only catching short glances from far away.

Even then, it looked impressive. But seeing it up close today made him feel not just amazed, but also a bit bitter and jealous.

Liam mumbled, "If only our company looked like this...

If this place belonged to Somertons, clients would be flooding in.

But their company was too plain and small, which made people ignore them. That

was why they hadn't gotten any orders lately.

Even though Liam said in a low voice, Edwin heard it.

"Quit dreaming," he said. "This building alone probably costs more than 100 companies like ours."

Liam knew that. But still, he felt unfair.

Why did the Sherwoods get to have everything, while they could barely keep their

ess going?

He hung his head and followed Edwin to the reception.

Edwin gave the receptionist a friendly smile. "Hello, we're here to see Mr. Sherwood. Is he available?"

"To see Mr. Sherwood?" The receptionist looked him up and down. He wasnoveldrama

dressed well enough, so she figured he was here for business and asked, "Do

you have an appointment scheduled?"
