Chapter 183 Carrying Davidâs Child
Finished
âLook at youâyouâre enjoying all the benefits now that Mr. Ellison has risen to the top. He has power, wealth, and status, and you get to share in that. Sure, back then, his situation wasnât looking great, but⦠but even then, he was more than good enough for you.â
Caroline countered. âSuch a great marriageâwhy did you give it to me, your adopted daughter, instead of your own biological daughter?â
âLâ
Caroline pressed on. âAnd now? Youâre trying so hard to push Elizabeth toward David? You want all the good things for yourselves while avoiding every bit of misfortune. Isnât that right?â
For once, Samanthaâwho always had a sharp tongueâfound herself at a loss for words, stumbling for a
response.
After a long silence, she sighed and turned to David with an expression of deep remorse. âMr. Ellison, Iâm sorry⦠I really canât persuade Caroline. Itâs my failure as a motherâIâve troubled you,â
Matthew quickly chimed in, âAh, what a mess. Mr. Ellison, Iâm ashamed to ever face you. How about this -Iâll return the five billion dollars to the Ellison family, and you can divorce Caroline. The Ellison family would never accept a child like this anyway, so⦠we, the Brooks family, will raise it instead. After all, Caroline is my daughter.â
What a wellâcalculated scheme.
The Brooks, family wouldnât willingly return five billion dollars unless there was something even more valuable astake.
If David and Caroline divorced, who was the most likely candidate to become his wife?
The answer was clear. Elizabeth.
Their biological daughter would become the powerful and respected Davidâs wife, the mistress of the Ellison family. With that status, half of the Ellison familyâs wealth would be within her graspâwhy would they care about five billion dollars?
And Caroline? She would become a discarded woman, powerless and abandoned. At that point, they could do whatever they wanted to her without a second thought.
âIâm not getting rid of my child,â Caroline said firmly. Stop wasting your time.â
David had remained silent, standing off to the side with a cold, unreadable expression, his lips pressed into a tight line.
But the moment Caroline made her stance clear, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.
The entire room fell into complete silence.
Everyone turned to look at him.
âCaroline,â David said, enunciating each word clearly, are you really determined to keep Nashâs bastard?â

David gripped her chin, tilting it up slightly. âNash isnâthe only man who can get you pregnant. And youâre not limited to only carrying his child. Do you understand?â
Carolineâs gaze flickered. She thought she understood but at the same time, she wasnât sure.
What exactly is he implying?
âIf you
I want a child, we can have one,â David said, his toe casual, as if he were discussing the weather. âOr do you think Iâm incapable?â
Carolineâs eyes widened in shock.
What is he saying? We have a child? He wants me to carry his child? To bear the bloodline of the Ellison family?
Davidâs voice was commanding as he declared. âGet rid of that bastard. Carry my child instead. Thatâs the best path for you, Caroline. Do you hear me?â
She kept insisting that she wanted a child, that she needed someone in this world who shared her bloodâa real family.
Fine. He could make that happen.
She and David could have a child.
David had put everything on the table. Now, it was up to Caroline.
If she still refused and insisted on keeping that bastard, there could only be one explanation- She wanted to give birth to Nashâs child. She still loved Nash. That was why she was willing to go to such lengths to protect the baby.
All that talk about family bonds, about an orphan longing for kinâit was all nonsense. Just an excuse.
