Chapter 134 Youâre Husband and Wife, Not Enemies
Caroline finally turned around and left with Anna, heading to the laboratory.
This kind of humiliation and trampling from David⦠it wasnât the last time.
What could I do? For now, I would endure.
Caroline lifted her head and caught a fleeting glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.
She thought for a moment. That is Andrew. Yes, Andrew! Could it have been Andrew?
In an instant, her thoughts became crystal clear.

He had recently been appointed as the department director, a sudden promotion that everyone knew was connected to his identity and relationship with the Ellison family. Still, no one openly commentedâit was a family matter.
Andrew and Caroline had unresolved grudges.
Back when David was bedridden, Andrew had tried to take advantage of her, only to fall right into Davidâs trap. He was hauled away by Davidâs bodyguards and had only recently resurfaced. It made sense that he held a grudge.
He was seeking revenge on Caroline,
âCaroline? Caroline!â Anna called her name several times. âWhat are you looking at?â
âIâm thinking⦠about who secretly added alcohol to the lotion to frame me and sabotage Carozâs launch.â
âMr. Boris will investigate. Once the truth comes out, weâll be cleared,â Anna said reassuringly.
Carolineâs lips curled into a bitter smile. âIâm just worried that even if they find out who did it, nothing will happen to that person.â
Andrew was under Richardâs protection and carried Ellison blood. Caroline, on the other hand, was an outsiderâjust the Ellison daughterâinâlaw.
And for something like this, what could we really do to Andrew?
She would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
At the Vice Presidentâs office, Boris poured a cup of tea for David. âHere, calm down a bit.â
David waved it away.
âHow about some coffee? Plain water? Tea, maybe?â
Davidâs expression was cold and dark. âWhat about Caroline makes her worth your help?â
âI didnât help her,â Boris replied. âI treat every employee fairly, openly, and justly.â
David glanced at the cup of tea, then at Boris. He looked like he was considering dumping the tea on Borisâs
face.

can see itâCaroline is clearly being set up this time.â
âSo what?â
Davidâs tone was laced with sarcasm, his gaze void of emotion.
Boris was taken aback. âYou know sheâs innocent, and you still treated her that way?â
âShe deserves it.â

âCome on, you two are husband and wife, not enemies,â Boris said with a smirk. âWhat happened? Another fight?â
âStick to the issue. If not, Iâm leaving.â
David made a show of getting up, but Boris quickly pushed him back into his seat.
âAlright, alright. Letâs talk about the issue. Todayâs incident isnât trivial, but itâs not catastrophic either. You have a good idea whoâs behind it, donât you?â
âAndrew.â
Davidâs response was immediate, showing he had suspected it all along.
âExactly. I think itâs him too,â Boris nodded. âThis stunt has already shaken everyoneâs confidence in Carozâs launch. While it hasnât caused financial losses yet, what about next time? Or the time after that? Who knows what kind of trouble Andrew might stir up? He needs a lesson to keep him in line.â
David spoke lazily. âIâve already taken care of it.â
âOh, that was quick!â
âDid you think Iâd waste time like you, dragging me here to babble endlessly?â
David stood, his suit jacket falling into place with effortless elegance, exuding his usual aristocratic air. Without another word, he strode toward the door.
