She had no interest in putting on a facade!

“Mr. Ellison, how come you arrived without a sound?” Matthew greeted him warmly, raising a smile. “Please, come in. If I had known you were coming, I would have waited at the door. How could I let you wait here for me?”
Samantha added, “Yes, Mr. Ellison, are you here to see Elizabeth? She talks about you every day; my ears are about to grow calluses from listening.
Standing beside David, Elizabeth said shyly, “Mom, how can you say these things in front of Mr. Ellison? It’s so embarrassing.”
The family of three coordinated well, their conversations neatly packaged.
David glanced at them with an indifferent expression. came today because I have questions.”
He stepped into the villa, leaving them behind.
The Brooks family looked at each other, unable to guess David’s thoughts.
In the living room.
“Everyone, please leave, Caroline said to those nearby.
“What? But…
“There’s no need for service right now, just wait outside Caroline insisted. “It’s for your own good.”
Some secrets are better left unknown. As the saying goes, keep your skeletons in the closet.
The servants stood still, hesitant, as Caroline wasn’t the final word here.
Elizabeth walked in just in time to hear her and sarcastically remarked, “Caroline, looks like you’re playing the big shot at home.”
However, before she could continue, David commanded, “All non–essential personnel, out!”
At his command, the servants quickly dispersed, afraid to linger and face consequences.
Caroline watched this unfold and sighed with a wry smile.
Her words carried little weight, unlike David’s, which were like imperial decrees.
Elizabeth puzzled, “Mr. Ellison, what is this about?”
“It’s obvious he has something to say,” Caroline replied, watching the drama unfold with ease. “Why else would I dismiss the servants for no reason?”
Now, it was time to see what fate awaited the Brooks family.
What goes around, comes around!

“Mr. Ellison, you’ve come to the Brooks family with questions?” Matthew asked cautiously. “Please, speak. There are no outsiders here.”
David leaned back in the main seat of the sofa, resting his head on his hand but watching Matthew and Samantha with a piercing gaze.
Not everyone could meet that stare: Samantha’s heart raced under his gaze, almost making her want to beg for mercy.
After a moment, David spoke softly, “What have you done that I must come here and say it myself?”
He didn’t confront them directly but chose to…
Beat around the bush!
He wanted to see if the Brooks family would confess or continue to feign ignorance.
Caroline, understanding David’s intent, realized he wanted the Brooks family to admit it themselves. This way, the whole story would be clear, including whether Caroline had been truthful.
David’s strategy was meticulous.
Even now, his calculations were crystal clear.
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat, “Mr. Ellison, I-
“Hmm?” David raised an eyebrow. “Not confessing? Remember, there are no secrets that time does not
reveal
Matthew was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.
What did Mr. Ellison know? Did he know about them selling Caroline’s first time, or did he know that Elizabeth had taken Caroline’s place that night?
