Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire (Caroline and David)

Chapter 271 He Will Come for Us Soon

David leaned in closer, so close that Caroline could see each of his eyelashes, distinct and sharp. Just as their breaths nearly intertwined, he spoke. "Your earrings today look nice."

Caroline was speechless. Is he insane?

Just as she was about to snap at him, he continued, "I'll make care of what the Brooks family did to you. And as for Elizabeth, I'll give you a proper explanation."

Caroline froze.

Is he serious? Is he finally going to take action against the Brooks family? No more favoritism, no more blind indulgence?

"When all of this is settled, we'll have a real conversation about us. His voice dropped to a low murmur. "I know that as long as the Brooks family and Elizabeth remain unresolved, there will always be a wall between us."

Before Caroline could respond, he straightened, casting her a deep, unreadable look.

Then, without another word, he turned and left, the hem of his suit jacket lifting slightly as he moved. He radiated authority and unwavering resolve.

Caroline watched his figure disappear, his words still ringing in her mind,

Is he truly being serious this time? Is he really going to deal with Elizabeth?

Men had always recognized who caused unease and what led to distress, it had never escaped their notice. Yet, they remained passive, not out of obliviousness, but to sidestep trouble, leaving others to bear the burden.

However, the moment they sought a fresh start, they could cut through the turmoil with absolute decisiveness.

Yet, Caroline thought, Am I ready for a lifetime with David Does he get to torment me when he wants, reconcile when he pleases? Do I have to comply with his every whim? as he ever, even once, asked what I wanted?

Her mind swirled, a heavy weight pressing against her heart.

At the Brooks residence, Elizabeth's wailing filled the entire living room.

"It's over! It's all over! Mom, after everything we've done, we still lost! Now, Caroline is the one who has it all! And it's not just me, our whole family is doomed... Mr. Ellison will come for us soon!"

She was frantic, her voice bordering on hysteria. "We sold her virginity behind her back and pinned the blame on Nash! We manipulated Julia! Dad, Mom, if they investigate and find out I was claiming to be Caroline that night... What do we do? Any one of those things is enough to send Mr. Ellison into a rage! And the worst part is that I lied! I pretended to be Caroline that night! I told him it was me, but it was really her! If he finds out, and now that he's starting to feel something for her..."

She grabbed Samantha's arm in a desperate grip. "Mom you have to save me! Save this family!"

Finished

Her frantic gaze darted to Matthew. "Dad, Caroline despises us. The moment she has real power, she'll come for the Brooks family!"

Matthew and Samantha were both deathly silent, their faces dark with worry.

Scheme after scheme. Attempt after attempt. And yet, each one had failed, while Caroline only rose higher.

"Did Mr. Ellison say it himself?" Matthew asked finally, his voice heavy. "That he's settling both old and new scores?"

Elizabeth nodded feverishly. "Yes, Dad! Why would I lie about this now?"

Matthew's brows knitted tightly, his aging face lined with helplessness.
