Andrew had spiked the lotion with alcohol, causing over a dozen female employees to suffer severe skin issues, only to end up drinking a mouthful of highâconcentration alcohol himself, nearly losing his life in the process. All thanks to Caroline.
Caroline, however, looked genuinely puzzled. âMe? What does this have to do with me?â
She hadnât done anything. She had resigned herself to bearing this blame, having no interest in fighting with Andrew. Besides, David wouldnât help her. The less trouble, the better.
Yet Andrew now acted as though he was the victim.
âQuite the actress, arenât you?â Andrew sneered. âCaroline, I admit youâve got some tricks up your sleeve. Youâre still holding onto your position as the Ellison familyâs eldest daughterâinâlaw. I underestimated you this time, and you got the better of me!â
Caroline still didnât quite understand what he was getting at.
But the past is the past. I might not be able to do anything to David, but Andrew? His halfâbrother? He isnât beyond my reach!
If nothing else, she could at least win the verbal battle.
Feigning surprise, she asked, âOh, Mr. Andrew, what did you just call me?â
âCaroline!â
âChange that,â she said with a raised brow. âIâm your sisterâinâlaw.â
Andrew was immediately stunned. âYou!â
âWhatâs the matter? Donât want to say it?â Carolineâs tone turned mockingly serious. âThe Ellison family is a distinguished clan that values hierarchy. Based on seniority, Iâm your sisterâinâlaw. Yet here you are, calling me by my nameâwhere are your manners?â
Andrew clenched his teeth. âDonât push it!â
In his frustration, his stomach began to ache again, forcing him to clutch it with a grimace.
Caroline didnât know or care about his discomfort. All she cared about was hearing him call her âsisterâin- law.â
âWell? Are you going to say it or not?â Caroline asked, her voice calm but commanding. âIâll give you ten seconds to decide.â
âMy sisterâinâlaw isnât so easy to deal with.â
âThatâs my problem. Whether you call me that or not is yours.â Caroline smirked and began to count down slowly. âTen, nine, eight, sevenâ¦â
Andrew felt as if he might grind his teeth to dust.
As if drinking alcohol wasnât bad enough, now he was being forced to lower himself in front of Caroline and call her âsister-inâlaw.â

What kind of sisterâinâlaw? She is just a standâin bride, someone who might be kicked out at any time. But I am a true Ellison by blood, would always be part of the family.
âThree, twoâ¦â Caroline smiled wider. âOh, by the way, I forgot to mentionâIâm recording this conversation. Whether it reaches David, or my motherâinâlaw, youâll be the one at fault.â
Andrew had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out the words, ââ¦Sisterâinâlaw.â
âWhat? Didnât catch that. Speak louder!â
âCarolineâ¦â
She immediately cut him off. âWhat did you just call me?â
âSisterâinâlaw,â Andrew said, his tone sharp and bitter. âSisterâinâlaw! Itâs getting lateâyou should clock out
now.â
Only then did Caroline smile in satisfaction. âHmm, barely audible, but fine. Iâll let it slide this time. Iâm leaving.â
Before turning to go, she added one more thing. âAndrew, I know all about your little schemes behind my back. If you want to keep your position as director peacefully, stop causing trouble. Otherwise, I canât promise I wonât take action against you.â
âYou?â Andrew scoffed with disdain. âWhat could you possibly do to me? David controls the Ellison family. Even aft
all his plotting, the worst he managed was sending my mother to prison. He couldnât touch me. Do you think Iâd fear a little girl like you?â
