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 couldnât shoulder the blame for any adverse outcomes,
That chapter was closed.
Elizabeth couldnât hide her irritation. âMom, thisâ¦â
âEnough now,â 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, âRegardless of how you treated Caroline before, sheâs under my wing now.â
He was clear, only he could decide her fate. Anyone else touching her deserved punishment.
Touch her? Over my dead body!
Elizabethâs discomfort grew. âMr. Ellison, your protectiveness over her, does it mean you like her?â
His response was instant; the teacup hit the table hard.
Tea splattered.
âHave feelings for Caroline?â He glared at Elizabeth.
There was no chance heâd ever fall for her.
He wished for nothing more than her disappearance, far from his sight.
Without Harperâs influence, sheâd have been long gone!
Elizabeth, taken aback, stuttered, âL⦠L⦠Mr. Ellison, you show her such favor; it upsets me. Remember: what you promised?â
âI remember
âIs it still valid?â
âOf course.â
Relieved somewhat, Elizabeth was about to press on, but Samantha pulled her away. âMr. Ellison is a man of his word; you worry needlessly. Come, letâs go.â
Chapter 60 A Sinister Plot to Kidnapping Her!
Finished
Leaving the Ellison home, Elizabeth finally expressed her exasperation. âMom, weâve achieved nothing today. How can I not be angry? As long as that child exists. I wonât find peace! Caroline is too clever!â
I figured she wouldnât eat, Samantha confessed, âBut have another plan.â
âOh? Whatâs left to try?â
âI originally planned to give her a quick and easy way outâjust take some medicine to end the pregnancy. But since she refused to cooperate⦠well, she canât blame me for being ruthless now.â
Elizabeth raised a smile. âAnd how exactly will you do that?â
âPeople are in place. Someone will wait for her on her way to the Ellison Group and take the chance to⦠kidnap her!â
Caroline had grown up under Samanthaâs supervision. She understood her foster daughterâs nature.
Alert, understated, and composed in a crisis. Difficult to confront.
A challenging opponent, indeed.
Yet, Samantha was ready to plot meticulously for Elizabethâs 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.
âMy documents!â As she bent to retrieve them, a sharp blow struck the back of her neck.
