Sold to a Handsome Trillionaire
Chapter 317 Do You Still Think He Loves Me?
If Caroline left now, David wouldnât release her commission, leaving her with no way to get it
Finished
He was the acting president of Ellison Group. If he didnât approve it, the finance department wouldnât transfer a single cent into her account.
She had no choice.
She needed the money.
With two babies on the way, formula, diapers, clothes, everything would be a huge expense. She had to start saving now.
So she swallowed her pride and forced herself to endure.
âFine.â She nodded. âMr. Ellison, if thatâs what you want, of course, Iâll complyâ
David smirked coldly. âAt least you know whatâs good for you.
Money was Carolineâs weakness.
And he would use it to keep her under his control.
With that, he walked away with Elizabeth, moving through the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.
The other guests instinctively steered clear of the dessert table, unwilling to get caught in the crossfire.
Just then, a damp towelette appeared in front of Caroline.
âWipe yourself off.â
âMr. Borisâ¦â She took it and let out a weary sigh. âIâm sorry
Boris frowned. âWhat are you apologizing to me for? If you had just said those three words earlier, none of this would have happened.â
âI let your kindness go to waste. I know you wanted to help me, so I should apologize. Youâre the only one whoâs still willing to stand by me. Right now, Iâm like the plague, everyone else wants to stay as far away as possible.â
Caroline slowly dabbed at her face, but there was no way to clean herself up properly.
Boris didnât step in to help.
After all, she was Davidâs wife.
No matter how much he disapproved, there were lines he wouldnât cross.
âI told you to run, but you didnât. I told you to apologize, and you refused.â Boris said helplessly. âWhat was the point of all this? It didnât do you any good.â
âI know,â Caroline murmured. âBut sometimes, people just need to hold on to their pride.â

Boris raised a brow. âAnd what exactly did you gain from it?â
Caroline was momentarily stunned.
That was a good question.
She had no idea what she had fought for.

Seeing her at a loss for words, Boris sighed and rubbed his forehead. âA wise person adapts to the situation. Youâre a smart woman. You knew to get Anna out of here first. But when it comes to yourself, why did you suddenly become so foolish?â
Caroline said nothing.
âAnd David⦠Boris sighed again, scolding his friend just as harshly. âWhat is he even doing? Treating your like this⦠You think he feels good about it? He doesnât. Itâs just thatâ¦â
He trailed off, unable to find the right words.â
Caroline was too stubborn.
Elizabeth knew exactly how to fan the flames.
Davidâs temper flared too easily.
It was a perfect storm that led to this mess.
Caroline looked up at him. âMr. Boris, do you still think David loves me?â
Boris didnât hesitate. âI know he does.â
Afraid she wouldnât believe him, he quickly added, âI swear on my character, he loves you more than anyone. Itâs not Elizabeth. Itâs you.â
Caroline slowly smiled, her eyes curving.
âReally,â Boris insisted. âIâm telling the truth.â
David had admitted it to him personally. There was no doubt.
Carolineâs smile remained, but her voice was distant.
âHe loves me, yet he treats me like this. She chuckled softly. âWhatâs so special about that kind of love?â
She tilted her head slightly. âMr. Boris, if someone loved you like a demon, hurting you at every turn in the name of love, could you accept it?â
Boris had no answer.
