Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire
Chapter 178 Youâre Making This Up!
What a performance, they really went all out with this act.
After a brief silence. Samantha finally spoke at a measuffed pace.
Finished
âMr. Ellison, hereâs what really happened. After the engagement between our families was settled, I told Caroline to stay home and wait for the wedding. Everyone assumed I was after that fiveâbillionâdollar dowry, but that wasnât the case. The Ellison family is a prestigious householdâonce Caroline married in, she would be well taken care of. Sheâsâ an adopted daughter, her status is low. None of those young heirs would ever choose her. Marrying into the Ellison family was the best possible match for herâa life of wealth and security as a noble lady. But right at that monent, Mr. Nash somehow caught wind of the engagement and came knocking on our door. He demanded that we hand Caroline over to himâfor a few days of fun. How could I possibly agree to that? I refused him on the spot! I knew that he and Caroline were close in school, that they had a good relationship But Mr. Nash was already engaged. He had completely fallen out with Caroline, their ties were severed. I figured he just couldnât accept itâhe still had feelings for Caroline and wanted to have her one last time before she got married. But no matter how many times we turned him down, Mr. Nash wouldnât give up. He even offered moneyânot five billion, of course, but still a generous sum. He said he wasnât looking to marry Caroline, just to sleep with her, to have his fun. And for that, he was willing to pay.â
Hearing this, Caroline couldnât hold back any longer and cut in. âNo! Youâre making this up! Youâre lying!â
Sure, Nash had let her down. He had chosen his future and Julia over her, butâ¦
She knew him.
After four years of friendship, after spending every day together, there was no way Nash would ever do something like this!
His character, his moralsâhe was nothing like what Samantha was describing!
David lazily lifted his eyelids. âLet her finish. You, shut up.
âBut-
âShut up!â
Despair filled Carolineâs heart.
Samantha continued, âMr. Nash became relentless, showing up every day. Our family had countless discussions behind Carolineâs back, and we all agreedâwe could never hand her over. But then⦠Mr. Nash made it clear. If we didnât give in, heâd make sure we suffered for it. He would ruin us.â
âMr. Ellison, you know as well as I doâthe Brooks family is small and powerless. How could we possibly go up against the Newton family? Especially now that Mr. Nash has taken over Newton Groupâhis influence is stronger than ever. And yet, despite all of that, my husband and I still made the difficult decision to protect Caroline
Her lips moved smoothly as she spun her story, turning lies into truth, twisting black into white.
She painted herself and Matthew as the loving, selfless guardians who had fought to protect their adopted daughter against Nashâs advancesâonly to be left with no choice but to surrender in the end.

David arched a brow. Hitim?â

âCaroline told me that Mr. Nash was the only man she had ever truly loved. But now⦠they were fated to be apart.â
âFated to be apartâ¦â
David slowly repeated the words, the corners of his lips curling into an icy smile.
Samantha nodded and said, âExactly. So when I heard that Caroline still had feelings for him⦠and with Mr. Nashâs threats growing worse, I⦠I had no choice. I agreed to it I had toâjust to let these two unfortunate lovers be together one last time
