Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire

Chapter 178 You're 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

"Mr. Ellison, here's 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 five-billion-dollar dowry, but that wasn't the case. The Ellison family is a prestigious household-once Caroline married in, she would be well taken care of. She's' 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 her-a 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 him-for a few ways 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 couldn't accept it-he 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 wouldn't give up. He even offered money-not five billion, of course, but still a generous sum. He said he wasn't looking to marry Caroline, just to sleep with her, to have his fun. And for that, he was willing to pay."

Hearing this, Caroline couldn't hold back any longer and cut in. "No! You're making this up! You're lying!" Sure, Nash had let her down. He had chosen his future and Julia over her, but...

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 morals-he was nothing like what Samantha was describing!

David lazily lifted his eyelids. "Let her finish. You, shut up.

"But-

"Shut up!"

Despair filled Caroline's heart.

Samantha continued, "Mr. Nash became relentless, showing up every day. Our family had countless discussions behind Caroline's back, and we all agreed-we could never hand her over. But then... Mr. Nash made it clear. If we didn't give in, he'd make sure we suffered for it. He would ruin us."

"Mr. Ellison, you know as well as I do-the 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 Group-his 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 Nash's advances-only to be left with no choice but to surrender in the end. hànarcinh. "I asked Caralin. kawcho folr abrur Me. Mach in neiunta Chamid

she said..."

David arched a brow. Hitim?"

Finished

"Caroline told me that Mr. Nash was the only man she had ever truly loved. But now... they were fated to be apart."

"Fated to be apart..."

David slowly repeated the words, the corners of his lips curling into an icy smile.

Samantha nodded and said, "Exactly. So when I heard that Caroline still had feelings for him... and with

Mr. Nash's threats growing worse, I... I had no choice. I agreed to it I had to-just to let these two unfortunate lovers be together one last time
