“Caroline…” Samantha took her hand, her voice gentle. Now that you know the truth, if you still hate us, we’ll accept it. But as your mother, I have to give you some advice–for your own happiness and future.”

“Advice?”

“Get rid of the baby.” Samantha spoke in a coaxing tone “This child was never meant to be. You shouldn’t keep it. If you insist on having this baby, it’ll only suffer in this world. Caroline, think about it carefully. Mr. Nash and Julia were always meant to be together–a perfect match. He won’t acknowledge this child. And now, you’re married to Mr. Ellison, living as a respected lady of high status. Why would you keep this baby and make things harder for yourself?”

Samantha softened her voice, speaking as if she truly cared. “How about it? If you’re scared, I will go with you to the hospital. Medical technology is so advanced how–it’s just a minor procedure, completely painless. Afterward, you can rest at home, recover properly, and everything will go back to normal.”

Caroline stared at her, eyes filled with suspicion and wariness.

From the very beginning, the Brooks family had never accepted this child.

Elizabeth had gone to every length to force her into a miscarriage–kidnapping, beating, even running to David to expose her pregnancy.

And now the

And now that everything had blown up, the Brooks family still wanted her to get rid of it.

Why? Did the fact that I am carrying Nash’s child threaten them that much?

Caroline couldn’t understand.

Even if she gave birth, it wouldn’t affect the Brooks family’s interests in any way.

If anything, her pregnancy should make David despise her even more, giving Elizabeth a better chance to rise in his favor.

“You’re really… thinking of my best interests?” Caroline asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “How touching.”

“Of course, Caroline. You’re my daughter. If I don’t look out for you, who else would?”

“You’re sure telling me to get rid of this baby is for my own good?”

Samantha nodded eagerly. “Of course! You absolutely can’t have this burden. If you do, your life will be

ruined.”

Caroline didn’t believe a single word–not even the punctuation.

The Brooks family had always prioritized their own interests. They didn’t care about her well–being.

So if they were this desperate to make her abort the baby, there had to be a deeper reason.

Something was off She just couldn’t figure out what.

But after living with these people for twenty years, she knew exactly how they operated.

If they wanted her to do something–she had to do the opposite.

That was the only way to protect herself.

The more they wanted her to abort this child, the more she had to keep it.

She wouldn’t let them get what they wanted.

Besides she had never even considered getting rid of the baby.

And it was obvious–keeping Nash’s child would only make her situation worse. David would hate her more. The Brooks family would rather see her miserable. So why would they care about her future?

“Then let it be ruined.” Caroline replied calmly. “It’s my life, and I’ll decide how to live it.”

Samantha looked both anxious and heartbroken. “You stubborn child… why won’t you listen? I’m only trying to help you!”

“Oh, thank you so much for your concern, Caroline said mockingly. “If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t have sold me to the Ellison family for five billion dollars.”

Samantha immediately countered, “The Ellison family is an incredible match! Do you know how many people would kill for this marriage?”
