Dad, Mom, What Are You Doing
Even if he didn’t love Caroline… even if he didn’t love her, she couldn’t love anyone else!
Caroline closed her eyes for a moment. “I said it.”
Samantha’s greatest skill was mixing truth with lies–blending them so seamlessly that it was impossible to pick out the flaws.
At that time, Samantha had indeed asked her. But Carobne had no idea they were planning to sell her innocence, so she had answered casually.
She never expected that her own words would be twisted into Samantha’s weapon today.
The arm around her waist suddenly tightened, as if it was about to snap her in half.
“Caroline, David gritted his teeth. “Now that you know the father is Nash, you don’t want to get rid of it even more, do you?”
She met his furious gaze. “I already told you–I don’t care who he is. I only know that I am this child’s mother.”
Caroline was determined to protect the twins in her womb at all costs. As long as they lived, so would she
David knew her limits.
She had once tried to take her own life–right in front of him–by crashing into a rock garden.
“Fine, fine. David’s face darkened like the ruler of the underworld. “Caroline, you’ve really got guts!”
Caroline let out a bitter laugh. “From the beginning, I was nothing but an object to be sold and traded. I never had a choice. Even if, for the sake of argument, everything the Brooks family said was true… David, tell me, what exactly is my crime?”
Not to mention, there was no way everything the Brooks family said was true.
David stared at her, veins bulging at his temples, his arms tensed, muscles coiled beneath his skin.
Seeing this, Samantha discreetly nudged Matthew before yanking on his sleeve. With a loud sound, they both fell to their knees in front of David, begging for mercy.
Tears streamed down Samantha’s face as she sobbed. “Mr. Ellison, Caroline did nothing wrong–it was me and my husband. She didn’t know anything fro
start to finish. I didn’t dare tell her the truth–I kept it from her all this time. But in the end, I still couldn’t hide it. Caroline is innocent. I was the one who failed to protect her. I raised her for twenty years–she’s been like my own daughter. Watching her suffer like this my heart is filled with guilt.”
Matthew quickly followed. “That’s right, Mr. Ellison. If you want to blame someone, blame me. As her father, I failed to protect her, I had no choice but to sell her to Mr. Nash and didn’t even dare to speak up about it… Sigh!”
“No, dear, it’s my fault, Samantha clung to Matthew’s arm. “When Caroline was in college, I should have warned her not to get involved with those rich young men. I was an unfit mother.”

The three of them–cach one an actor, each one fully committed to their roles.
Caroline could only scoff coldly, over and over again.
David watched the scene unfold with an indifferent gaze, devoid of emotion.
Samantha trembled as she got to her feet. She glanced Caroline before suddenly walking straight toward her.
Caroline’s guard went up immediately. “What do you want?”
A venomous woman is the most dangerous of all-
She knew exactly what kind of person Samantha was.
Matthew had always been busy–running the company attending social events. He never paid much
attention to her.
She had spent her entire life living under Samantha’s shadow.
Selling her innocence? That was definitely Samantha’s idea.
And today’s spectacle, every word out of Samantha’s mouth was a calculated move to twist the truth.
