Chapter 157 Toast to All of Them
To Caroline, it seemed unimaginable that he could be so gentle with her, let alone care about her thoughts and preferences.
She couldnât understand his motives for holding her like this.
Caroline realized she couldnât read the man before her at all.
âItâs fine,â Caroline responded, giving a measured, neutral reply.
Upon hearing this, David turned to the middleâaged man who had spoken earlier. âIt seems your tea is lacking something. She didnât quite like it.â
The man awkwardly scratched his head. âWellâ¦â
âIf she liked it, you could send it over tomorrow,â David said with a light chuckle. âSuch a pity.â
As soon as the words left his mouth, the room understood immediately.
This woman was clearly favored.
However, none of the people in the room had seen her before. They didnât know whether she was Davidâs new lover or just another mistress.
David had never been involved in any scandals, and there had been no unfamiliar women by his side. The only time heâd made news was when he got married. But after that, the soâcalled Mrs. Ellison disappeared( from the public entirely.
Now that David was running Ellison Group, thriving with wealth and power, no longer under the control of the Ellison family, it seemed like his true nature was starting to show.
They thought of women as nothing more than fleeting pleasures, something to indulge in. After all, David was no different from other men.
Since David was so invested in this woman, they thought it would be wise to flatter her.
âAnd who is this beautiful lday?â someone asked. âMr. Ellison, we havenât seen you bring her out before.â
David replied, âWell, youâre seeing her today.â
âSheâs incredibly beautiful, with a great figure. Mr. Ellison, youâre lucky.â
âIs that so?â David raised an eyebrow. âDo you all think sheâs beautiful?â
Everyone in the room, including Caroline, was puzzled by Davidâs response.
No one dared to speak up.
David gently lifted Carolineâs chin. âTheyâre complimenting you. Did you hear them?â
âI heard.â
He chuckled, then suddenly pulled her suit jacket off her shoulders, casually draping it over the arm of a

Her graceful figure was fully exposed.

âYour figure is impressive. They could see that even through the jacket,â David remarked. âYou all have good eyes.â
âWell, Mr. Ellison, of course, your woman wouldnât be anything less,â someone chimed in.
âExactly. Sheâs even more beautiful than those actresses
âMr. Ellison, no wonder you keep her close. You couldnât bear to be without her.â
As they spoke, someone approached with a glass of wine, preparing to toast.
âI donât drink,â David said lazily. âBut she can drink for me.â
He then pushed Caroline aside, not forgetting to slap her shapely behind. âGo ahead, toast to all of them.â
This was the nature of men.
One moment, they were affectionate and caring, as if she was their most precious possession.
The next, they could turn cold and detached, tossing her aside like an object.
At that moment, Caroline truly understood.
Yes, this was David. The same man she knew remained unchanged.
He had brought her here to serve drinks. All the previous tenderness was just his way of toying with her.
Now, he was ready to make her suffer.
Why canât he just be direct for once? Whatâs with all the fake affection, dragging it on like this? Is he enjoying this?
