Chapter 60
A Sinister Plot to Kidnapping Her!
Servants moved swiftly to dispose of the breakfast into he trash.
Standing nearby, Samantha looked on with displeasure, but she dared not say much.
The discarded food contained medication that could induce an abortion. Although harmless to Ellison, Samantha felt it unwise to comment.
She couldn’t shoulder the blame for any adverse outcomes,
That chapter was closed.
Elizabeth couldn’t hide her irritation. “Mom, this…”
“Enough now,” Samantha pulled her aside, giving her a knowing glance. I interfered too much, bothering Mr. Ellison. We should leave, Elizabeth. Come with me
Leaving just like that? All that effort for nothing!?
Elizabeth was not ready to accept failure after two missed opportunities.
David settled into his chair at the head of the table, sipping his tea but with a warning tone, “Regardless of how you treated Caroline before, she’s under my wing now.”
He was clear, only he could decide her fate. Anyone else touching her deserved punishment.
Touch her? Over my dead body!
Elizabeth’s discomfort grew. “Mr. Ellison, your protectiveness over her, does it mean you like her?”
His response was instant; the teacup hit the table hard.
Tea splattered.
“Have feelings for Caroline?” He glared at Elizabeth.
There was no chance he’d ever fall for her.
He wished for nothing more than her disappearance, far from his sight.
Without Harper’s influence, she’d have been long gone!
Elizabeth, taken aback, stuttered, “L… L… Mr. Ellison, you show her such favor; it upsets me. Remember: what you promised?”
“I remember
“Is it still valid?”
“Of course.”
Relieved somewhat, Elizabeth was about to press on, but Samantha pulled her away. “Mr. Ellison is a man of his word; you worry needlessly. Come, let’s go.”
Chapter 60 A Sinister Plot to Kidnapping Her!
Finished
Leaving the Ellison home, Elizabeth finally expressed her exasperation. “Mom, we’ve achieved nothing today. How can I not be angry? As long as that child exists. I won’t find peace! Caroline is too clever!”
I figured she wouldn’t eat, Samantha confessed, “But have another plan.”
“Oh? What’s left to try?”
“I originally planned to give her a quick and easy way out–just take some medicine to end the pregnancy. But since she refused to cooperate… well, she can’t blame me for being ruthless now.”
Elizabeth raised a smile. “And how exactly will you do that?”
“People are in place. Someone will wait for her on her way to the Ellison Group and take the chance to… kidnap her!”
Caroline had grown up under Samantha’s supervision. She understood her foster daughter’s nature.
Alert, understated, and composed in a crisis. Difficult to confront.
A challenging opponent, indeed.
Yet, Samantha was ready to plot meticulously for Elizabeth’s sake, to ensure her path was clear by eliminating Caroline as a threat!
Ellison Group.
Caroline leaped out of the cab, shouldering her bag and gripping a stack of documents, running without
pause.
She was barely steps away when someone barreled directly into her.
Unprepared, Caroline stumbled backward, her documents scattering.
“My documents!” As she bent to retrieve them, a sharp blow struck the back of her neck.
