Chapter 136 David Treats You Differently
âThen what else could I do?â Caroline shrugged. âMr. Boris, do I have any other options?â
âIf I were youâ¦â Boris drawled, stroking his chin as if hesitant to continue.
Caroline didnât press him, acting uninterested,

It was Boris who broke first, continuing, âIf I were you, Iâd go to David and act coy. If that didnât work, Iâd pull the whole crying, shouting, and threatening routine to demand an explanation. After all, youâre not at faultâyouâre the victim here. Or, donât make a scene at the office. Go straight to the Ellison family. Andrewâs dirty tricks wouldnât be tolerated, and youâd get the satisfaction of seeing him face consequences. But, Caroline, how can you endure so much?â
She gave a faint, bitter smile. âMr. Boris, someone with your privileged background could never understand people like me. For someone like me, just surviving takes every ounce of effort. Where would I find the strength to fight for dignity?â
âBut youâre Davidâs wifeâthe rightful Mrs. Ellison.â
âHas he ever treated me as his wife for even a second?â
From the start, Caroline was only Davidâs bride for good fortune, a pawn in his game.
And now, she was his tool for venting anger, a puppet to be trampled on at will.
Boris frowned. âAre you and David having issues?â
Caroline didnât answer, which was answer enough.
âThatâs not surprising,â Boris said. âWith his temper⦠not many could tolerate it. But give it a couple of days, and itâll blow over.â
âMr. Boris, not this time,â she said quietly.
As long as she was pregnant, David wouldnât let her go.
Boris looked puzzled. âWhy? What happened?â
Clearly, David hadnât shared the truth with him. And why would I? Who would want to broadcast their humiliation for the world to see?
âItâs a family matter,â Caroline said with a sigh. âI canât disclose it, Mr. Boris. But rest assured, as long as Iâm the formulator for âCarozâ, Iâll do my best to make the brand successful and live up to your expectations.â
Boris thought for a moment. âYou know, I can tell that David still treats you differently.â
She wanted to laugh. Differently? Oh, yes. He treats me differently, all right. He loves to torment, humiliate, and bully
me!
This special treatment was something only she could âenjoy.â
Anyone else? David wouldnât even need to lift a fingerâheâd just have someone else handle it.
What an honor it was. He personally made her suffer instead of delegating the task.

Caroline stayed in the lab until six in the evening before packing up to leave.
As she exited the building, she caught sight of Andrew.

âMr. Andrew,â she greeted, not avoiding him but instead walking straight toward him. âYouâve been in your new role for days now, and this is the first time Iâve seen you. Isnât it only polite to say hello?â
Andrewâs expression shifted the moment he saw her.
Caroline continued, âYou donât look too well, Mr. Andrew. Your lips are pale, and you seem low on energy. Are you feeling unwell?â
Though Andrew had fallen from grace, his pride and arrogance remained. Carolineâs jabs, paired with the lingering discomfort from his recent stomach pumping, stoked his anger.
âHa! Donât play dumb,â Andrew sneered, glaring at her with venom. âI really underestimated you!â
