âMr. Ellison, time is running out. If you donât take action soon, things will only spiral further out of control. Ms. Harper clearly favors Caroline and has nothing but disdain for me⦠But Iâm the one carrying your child! Carolineâs baby isnât even yours!â
Tears rolled down Elizabethâs cheeks as she lifted her head. âWhy am I the one being treated unfairly? Ms. Harper has always wanted a grandson, and Iâm the one giving her one! She should be looking out for me and valuing meânot Caroline! Caroline doesnât deserve her approval! She betrayed you; she betrayed the Ellison family! If Ms. Harper knew the truthâ¦â
âEnough!â Davidâs sharp tone cut her off.
He knew exactly what she was getting at.
But he had his own plans.
Elizabeth, for once, didnât fall silent. Instead, she pressed on. âMr. Ellison, Iâm only thinking about our futureâabout our childâs future. Heâs your sonâshouldnât you be making plans for him? Are you really willing to let him be born as an illegitimate child, denied his rightful place in the Ellison family? Iâve accepted being the woman you hide away, but I wonât let our child endure the same shame. I refuse to let our child live that way. I wonât allow him to grow up being mocked and treated as an outsider. But look at Caroline! Sheâs carrying another manâs child, yet sheâs the one Ms. Harper treasures! Meanwhile, Iâm the one being cast aside!â
Davidâs expression remained unreadable. âIâll take care of it. You donât need to worry.â
âHow?â Elizabeth asked, pressing for answers. âAre you finally going to take me to the Ellison estate and officially acknowledge me and our child?â
âYouâll know when the time comes. But I would never let my child be mistreated.â
Elizabeth felt a little relieved but still uneasy.
What exactly was David planning?
âMr. Ellison, could you at least talk to me about it? Iâd like to know how youâre planning things.â Elizabeth brushed away her tears. âAs his mother, I want to know if thereâs anything I can do for him. As his mother, I should have a say.â
âYour only job is to focus on your pregnancy and take care of yourself.â
David wasnât going to reveal anything more.
Because⦠he couldnât let Elizabeth know just yet.
His plan was already set in motion.
Carolineâs baby would be taken away.
And Elizabethâs baby⦠would be handed over to Caroline.
With this plan, his biological child would gain rightful recognition and status.
And Carolineâs child would become the chain that kept her bound to him for life.

Chapter 356 Elizabethâs Child Will Be Raised by Caroline!
For David, it was an ideal setupâeverything fell perfectly into place.
But for both Caroline and Elizabeth, it would be devastating.
One would lose her child, never knowing where they had been sent.
The other would be forced to hand over her baby, watching them raised by someone else.
Neither woman would agree to it.
But⦠David had already made up his mind.
He wanted Caroline to be his wife.
And he wanted his son to have his rightful place in the family.
He wasnât going to sacrifice either. He would have bothâhe would have it all.

Realizing that David wouldnât tell her anything, Elizabeth knew there was no use in pressing further.
âFineâ¦â she muttered reluctantly, nodding. âAs long as my child is born healthy and acknowledged by the Ellison family, Iâll be satisfied. I wonât ask for anything more.â
âDonât worry. My child will have everything they deserve.â
Hearing those words, Elizabeth finally let go of her concerns.
As long as her childâs future was guaranteed, she knew her own standing would be secure as well.
She understood that her childâs recognition meant her own. After all, she understood better than anyoneâa motherâs status depended entirely on her childâs place in the family.
