“What have we ever done that was so out of line, Mr. Ellison? If anything, Caroline is the one who’s overstepping.” Elizabeth scoffed. “She’s pregnant with another man’s child, constantly provoking you, and doesn’t behave like a wife in the slightest…”
“And whose fault is it that she’s pregnant?”
Elizabeth was momentarily speechless. “I… That…”
Frustrated, she stomped her foot. “Mr. Ellison, are you blaming me and my parents? You weren’t like this before. You used to be on my side, thinking about my feelings. But now, you’re putting Caroline first in everything.”
Tears streamed down her face as she played the sympathy card.
“From the moment we met, I waited for you without a title, constantly mocked by Caroline as a mistress, someone disgraceful, despised by everyone. But I endured it all, because you once told me you’d marry me. That one promise was enough for me to stay by your side. Mr. Ellison, I made it clear in the beginning. I was willing to pretend that night never happened. I never wanted to use it as leverage to force you into anything. But you told me yourself that you would take responsibility. Do you know how happy that made me?”
-She sobbed harder, her voice breaking. “But now, you spend every day with Caroline. Do you love her
more? Have you grown attached to her? You defend her, indulge her, so what about me? What am I, Mr. Ellison? And now, just to please her, you’re punishing me, my parents, and making the entire Brooks family pay?”
David remained unmoved.
He felt nothing but irritation and disgust.
The more she
cried, the deeper his frown grew.
Elizabeth could sense that her tears no longer had any effect. She had to stop before she overplayed her hand.
“Mr. Ellison…” She reached out to take his hand, but he immediately brushed her off.
“Enough.”
She hiccupped through her tears, staring at him with red–rimmed eyes.
David’s voice was cold and sharp. “Listen carefully, Elizabeth. From this moment on, you are not to harm Caroline, directly or indirectly.”
This time, he was serious. His expression was severe, his tone unwavering. There was no room for negotiation.

all old and new scores together, and you won’t be able to handle the consequences. Do you understand?”
“Mr. Ellison, how could I ever harm her?”
“I’ve said what I needed to say. Think carefully. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
A chill ran down Elizabeth’s spine.
David had made his stance clear that he was fully backing Caroline now.
“Mr. Ellison!” she demanded. “What if Caroline is the one who harms me? What if she schemes against me? Would you still stand by her side?”
David’s response was simple. “She wouldn’t.”
“How can you be so sure? You can’t truly know a person’s heart!”
“Caroline isn’t like that. She’s kind.”
Elizabeth felt as if her lungs would burst from rage.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Caroline’s place in David’s heart would rise so dramatically all of the sudden.
