Julia even had the audacity to blame her instead. “I haven’t even confronted you yet! The information you gave me was wrong. I almost got into serious trouble because of it.”
Elizabeth gritted her teeth.
Of course, she knew the child wasn’t Nash’s. It was David’s!
That was precisely why she wanted Julia to misunderstand, hoping she’d seize the chance to kill the baby.
That way, Elizabeth could reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
But her perfect scheme had completely fallen apart.
Not only did she gain nothing, but the truth was now out. Caroline’s child wasn’t Nash’s. On top of that, it exposed how the Brooks family had greedily sold Caroline’s virginity.
If David chose to hold them accountable, the Brooks family would face consequences beyond their worst nightmares.
After all that scheming, everything had backfired on Elizabeth instead!
But outwardly, she said, “How… how was I supposed to know the information was wrong? Caroline herself only just found out the truth about the child’s father. How could I have known?”
“I get it. That’s why I didn’t hold it against you.”
“So you’re just going to let this go?” Elizabeth pressed. “Nash is still deeply in love with Caroline.”
She wasn’t ready to give up yet. She still hoped Julia would remain her ally against Caroline.
Having an extra hand in this fight meant a better chance at victory.
Julia replied, “Caroline is Mrs. Ellison. Nash is my fiancé. There’s no possibility between them. I’ll discuss with my family about moving up the wedding or getting the marriage certificate first. That way, Nash will be mine forever.”
“But…”
“Enough.” Julia cut her off leisurely. “Elizabeth, I know exactly what you’re up to. I didn’t care before, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I can see that you’ve been using me as a pawn.”
Elizabeth fell silent.
“At the time, all I wanted was to kill the baby, so I didn’t care about anything else. But now, I have no personal grudge against Caroline. I’m not going to provoke her anymore.”
Julia was a socialite raised in a powerful family. She was no stranger to scheming and manipulation.
“As long as she stays away from Nash, I’ll even be kind to her,” Julia added. “That’s it. Let’s not stay in touch unless absolutely necessary.”
“Ju…”

Elizabeth, furious, threw her phone onto the passenger seat.
A strong sense of crisis gripped her.

If this continued, Caroline’s position would only grow more secure, while she would be abandoned by David!
Not only had David personally declared at the Brooks residence that he wanted Caroline to bear his child, but he had even repeated it in front of Nash and Julia last night!
If he ever discovered that Caroline was already carrying his child, the consequences would be unfathomable.
Elizabeth opened the hidden compartment in her car and stared at the small packet of pills inside.
Mr. Ellison is mine. I will take him back!

The moment the car stopped at Ellison Group, Caroline jumped out without hesitation and sprinted toward the company building without looking back.
She ran so fast that she disappeared within seconds.
She was terrified that if she slowed down, David would catch her.
Caroline absolutely did not want to walk into work with him, be subjected to her coworkers‘ stares, and become the subject of endless gossip about her relationship with David.
“Mr. Ellison, Mrs. Ellison is…” The driver hesitated in surprise.
“Let her be.”
David didn’t care about her little tricks.
After all, they had a lifetime ahead of them.
He had plenty of time to play this game at his own pace, because he wasn’t going to let her go no matter what.
If that was the case, then they would remain entangled for the rest of their lives.
