Chapter 540: A Baby Shower


    Caroline’s POV


    I took a break from work for a few days and rested at home, But today, I returned to thepany and


    resumed work


    As soon as I sat down in my office, someone knocked on the door.


    “Come in.”


    A clerk of the personnel department came in and handed me a document, which was a girl’s resume.


    “Miss Wilson, there is a girl who wants to apply for the position of your assistant.”


    “I don’t need an assistant for the time being. Just refuse her.” I took the pen and knocked it on the table


    carelessly


    “But she said she was your cousin.”


    “My cousin?” Surprised, I stopped fiddling with the pen and paid attention to the clerk.


    “Send her in,” I dered, my curiosity piqued. A youngdy walked in She looked to be about the same


    age with me.


    “Miss Wilson, my name is Helen Dewar. I’m the daughter of Uncle Edward’s elder sister.”


    Frowning, I inspected every inch of her face carefully and found that there was a little simrity in our


    facial features,

    As a matter of fact, Dad once told me he had an elder sister, but he had lost touch with her years ago.


    It certainly never urred to me that her daughter would seek me out.


    “Helen, why the sudden visit?” I asked in confusion 1 Helen sighed, with a tinge of sadness on her


    face.


    “I’m the only child of my father, but he had issues with alcohol Last year, while he was drunk, he died in


    a car ident. So now, I’m all alone. I used to work in a different city, but when I heard that I have a


    cousin here, I decided to apply for a job here so we can get to know each other better ”


    “Alone? What about the rest of your family?”


    “More than ten years ago, my mother married another man after divorcing my father because he was


    an alcoholic have no idea where she is now.” Helen shrugged, looking like her mother’s unknown


    whereabouts was old news My heart softened a little as I stared at her. She must have had a tough life.


    But the issue was that I didn’t want Helen to be my assistant since I really didn’t need one. However, if


    she was really my cousin, Dad would have wanted me to take her in


    “You are my only family now, Miss Wilson,” she muttered softly, her eyes wide and beseeching. I


    thought for a moment and reached out my hand to her with a smile.


    “In that case, you are wee to join us here at the Wilson Group, Miss Dewar. I hope you enjoy


    working here with us. Oh, and when we are alone, you can call me Caroline”


    “Thank you ”


    For a moment, Helen was stunned and remained unresponsive. But the next second, she regained her


    mobility and lurched forward to shake hands with me Helen turned out to be capable with the help of


    her colleagues, she soon became familiar with her duties


    Her capabilities amazed me and my impression of her surged


    After the meeting in the afternoon, Helen came out of the meeting room and followed me with some


    documents in her arms.


    “Caroline, can I ask you out to dinner?” she asked in a low voice Before I could reply. J who was


    next to me whispered in my ear,


    “Mrs. Moore, Mr. Moore is waiting for you downstairs. He came to pick you up for the party.” I nodded


    and turned to Helen


    “I’m sorry Helen, but I already have a prior engagement, so I won’t be able to have dinner with you


    tonight. But we can certainly have dinner another day.”


    At this precise moment, Diego walked out of the office, but stopped when he saw me “Caroline, are you


    done for the day?Yes I have another appointment. In fact, I need to leave right now. Diego, this is my


    new assistant, Helen Dewar She is new here and not familiar with thepany. Can you take care of


    her for me?”


    “Of course Helen, if you have anything that you don’t understand, just ask me.” Diego smiled and


    nodded at Helen


    “Thank you very much.” A grateful smile curved my lips, but then I became conscious of the fact that


    Charles was waiting for me Swiftly, I turned around and hurried out of the building.


    Briefly, I heard Helen saying something to Diego before she followed me 3 Charles stood next to the


    car, the exquisite high end suit fitting his body like a glove. It sharpened the angles of his body and


    made it hard for anyone to take their eyes off him to His long legs quickly ate up the distance between


    us.


    “Are you done for the day?


    “Yes.”


    “The party…”


    Before he could finish his words, Helen walked up to Charles with a smile and extended her hand out


    for him to shake


    “Nice to meet you, Mr Moore. I’m Caroline’s cousin, Helen Dewar.”


    Unhappy with the intrusion, Charles frowned. He nced at Helen coldly and summarily dismissed


    her.


    “The party is about to begin. In fact, David just called to ask when we’ll arrive. Let’s go,” Charles


    exined in a soft tone, his hand sping my wrist.


    “Okay,” I agreed with a smile. Charles opened the door with one hand and with the other, helped me


    into the car. To most people, Charles came across as forbidding and rather cold, but he always treated


    me like a delicate flower. The contrast in his demeanor and appearance made him intriguing and


    extremely appealing No wonder so many women kept trying to get closer to him,


    A derisive snort curled my lips but I tamped it down because we were in public and other people were


    present


    I rolled down the window and waved at Helen.


    “The next few days are going to be hectic You should take this opportunity to rest after dinner.”


    “Okay, Bye, Caroline.” As the car drove away from thepany, I became lost in my thoughts.


    Helen had no one now that her mother left and her father died. Had I been too nonchnt in my


    attitude towards her?


    Even though I wasn’t particrly pleased with the idea of a hitherto unknown cousin suddenly springing


    up on me, I felt like I should be more obliged to her because we were rted by blood. Since she came


    to me, then it would stand to reason that she had no one else out there to seek support from li Helen


    were to prove that she was a trustworthy person, maybe I should find a way to help her more


    While pondering the situation, it urred to me that I could seek Charles’ opinion on the matter I


    turned to him and exined briefly, “Helen is my aunt’s daughter I forgot to introduce the two of you


    properly because we were in a hurry”


    “Have you investigated her im?” Charles asked brusquely, cutting to the chase


    “Not yet ”


    His question reminded me ol the fact that I had epted Helen’s words at surface value. It never even


    urred to


    me to research her background and confirm for myself whether she was telling the truth or not Charles


    hummed for a few seconds before turning his attention towards Richard. “I want you to do a


    background check on Helen Dewar. The more detailed, the better”


    A small smile lifted my lips. Charles had a thing for investigating everything


    But even I should admit that it was always good to be cautious.


    A whileter we arrived at our destination. After getting out of the car, Charles and I walked into the


    house


    Vivian’s son, Leo Patel, was one month old today. Vivian and Spencer held a party and invited all of


    their friends to celebrate it


    When we arrived, Icey and David were already there. Standing in the bedroom, Vivian held her son in


    her arms and grinned from ear to ear.


    “Look at him. He eats eight times a day. Now he is as fat as a piggy.” The little boy was chubby, lying


    on Vivian’s shoulder and smacking his lips. He was very cute. Icey pinched the little boy’s face, her


    eyes bright and expectant.


    “Can I hold him?”


    “Of course!” Vivian promised. She handed the baby to Icey and taught her how to hold him properly.


    “This is so amazing,” Icey gushed, surprised. The little boy was not afraid of strangers at all. He


    wrapped his arms around Icey’s neck and smiled at her.


    “If you like children, you should have one with your husband as soon as possible. Since this boy came


    to our home, our family has been extremely lively.”


    As Vivian spoke, her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. Her


    face darkened and she rejected the call immediately.


    “I need to make a phone call. Please take care of Leo for a while.”


    After Vivian left, I turned to Icey in confusion.


    “What’s going on?” Icey spared a moment to ensure Vivian was not going to return anytime soon


    before shuffling closer to me.


    “Do you remember Emily, Vivian’s mother? She is pregnant and the baby is Ethan’s. The stepmother is


    pregnant with the stepson’s child. What a scandal!”


    My eyes widened in shock.


    “Daniel is known to have a very bad temper. I don’t think he will forgive Emily.” Icey shook her head and


    ventured a guess, “I heard Ethan has lost the ability to father a child after that, and Daniel is too old to


    have any other child. This child will definitely be delivered since it will be Daniel’s only grandchild, but I


    don’t think the Johnson family will keep Emily alive after the baby is born.”


    “That’s why she keeps calling Vivian. She wants Vivian to help her escape.” I spected based on her


    words.
