She was pathetic. She couldnât even land a single slap on himâhe caught her wrist effortlessly, completely overpowering her.
âMr. Ellison!â Elizabeth appeared, rushing over in a flurry. âWhatâs going on? From where I was standing, it looked like Caroline was trying to hit you.â She gasped, then let out a huff. âDoes she really think she can act so recklessly just because Ms. Harper is on her side? Does she think she can do whatever she wants without consequences?â
Now that Harper was gone, Elizabeth finally dropped the act. The mask of politeness vanished, and she let her true arrogance show.
The pretense was over. Everything she had endured earlierâshe planned to take it all out on Caroline now,
She already knew Harper had left, but she still made a show of glancing around. âMs. Harper is really gone, isnât she?â Then, she turned to David with a pained look. âMr. Ellison, this isnât fair⦠Ms. Harper completely looks down on me. Every word she speaks is filled with disdain. But Iâm the one carrying her precious grandson! And Caroline? Sheâs pregnant with a child of unknown parentage, yet she gets all of Ms. Harperâs love and favoritism. Tell me, Mr. Ellison, does that seem fair to you? If she werenât an elder, I would have spoken up for myself! I already wasnât feeling wellâmy stomach had been aching, and I just wanted to take a short walk to clear my head. But instead? I was cast aside by Ms. Harper and Caroline together. I⦠Iâ¦â
Tears welled up in her eyes as she let them fall dramatically.
âMr. Ellison, when will I finally get to stand by your side openly? When will I be able to tell the world that Iâm your woman and that weâre expecting a child together?â She leaned into Davidâs chest, crying softly. âI can endure any hardship for you, Mr. Ellison. For you, for our baby, Iâm willing to sacrifice everything. But tonight⦠tonight, I feel so wronged.â
David was already irritated, and her weeping only grated on his nerves.
David was already in a foul mood, and her endless sobbing only added to his frustration. He had no intention of consoling herâhis expression remained cold and indifferent.
Elizabethâs pregnancy had never mattered to him. He had only let her keep the baby to spite Caroline.
So her complaints? They meant nothing to him.
âThatâs enough,â David said curtly. âGo back to your room.â
Elizabethâs expression froze. âMr. Ellisonâ¦â

âWhat do you want me to do?â he asked impatiently. âAre you expecting me to go against my mother for you?â
âI⦠No⦠Fine.â
Elizabeth had no choice but to back down. But as she turned to leave, she shot a glare at Caroline.
âYou must be feeling smug,â she hissed. âWith Ms. Harper shielding you, even Mr. Ellison canât touch you!â
Caroline suddenly curled her lips into a smirk. âYou know, I just realized⦠youâre actually quite pathetic.â
Elizabethâs face twisted. âWhat did you just say? Iâm the pathetic one?â

âYou suffered all this humiliation, ran crying to David for comfort, and he doesnât care. He doesnât even try to understand you,â Caroline said, her tone flat. âDoesnât that make you feel pathetic? Isnât that sad? You gave up your pride, your good name, and became his mistress. Youâre carrying his child, yet look at how he treats youâhas he ever genuinely cared for you? Even for a moment?â
Caroline used to believe that David adored Elizabethâthat she was his favorite.
Then, David claimed that Caroline was the one he truly loved.
And now, she finally saw the truth.
Davidâs love was empty. Shallow. Selfâcentered.
It wasnât until this moment that she finally realizedâDavidâs love was cold, distant, and utterly shallow.
Whether it was her or Elizabeth, the person he loved the most had always been himself.
âYou⦠stop trying to drive a wedge between us!â Elizabeth shot back. âMr. Ellison treats me very well! The second he found out about my condition, he came straight to the hospital. He checks on me every day, makes sure Iâm okayâwhat do you know?â
