Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire (Caroline and David)

David admitted without hesitation, "Yes." "You stayed unconscious for an extra day just so Andrew could assault me, giving you the perfect excuse to wake up." “Yes.” “You were never brain-dead. This was your plan all along." David abruptly opened his eyes. “Yes.” ... The Brooks Estate. When word spread that David and Caroline would return to the Brooks estate together, the family made a flurry of preparations to welcome them. For the Brooks family, David's recovery and control of the company were blessings they had long hoped for. However, Matthew and Samantha appeared anxious. "Matthew, what are we going to do? Caroline's now tied to a wealthy family, but we secretly sold her first night and sent her to someone else's bed. Will she come after us for it? Do you think she'll seek revenge?" Samantha fretted. "If we'd known Mr. David would recover from being brain-dead and turn out so powerful, we should've let Elizabeth marry him instead!" Elizabeth, their biological daughter, was a year younger than Caroline. Samantha's struggles with infertility led them to adopt Caroline from an orphanage. To their surprise, she became pregnant the following year after adopting her, which caused Caroline's status to plummet. This was also why the Ellison family paid five billion dollars for Caroline to marry David. They believed she was blessed and would bring luck and prosperity to households. As Elizabeth adjusted her makeup, Elizabeth sneered, “Mom, even if she marries into the family, it's not certain she'll get to enjoy it. She's a dirty slutty. Once Mr. David finds out, he'll throw her away without a second thought." Elizabeth was confident she could win Mr. David's favor and take Caroline's place. After all, she was better than Caroline in every way. She was innocent, obedient, and skilled at understanding what men wanted. With Mr. David visiting the house today, Elizabeth saw a perfect chance to win his favor. "But... weren't we the ones who caused all this in the first place?" Samantha asked hesitantly. "Mom, relax; you're worrying too much," Elizabeth scoffed. "Caroline wouldn't dare expose us unless she's willing to give up being Mrs. Ellison. Causing trouble wouldn't benefit her. And after all, we raised her for 20 years. Is she really going to turn on us instead of showing gratitude?" Matthew hesitated before speaking. "Actually, the buyer didn't show up at the hotel on her wedding night." Both Samantha and Elizabeth were frozen in shock. "What?" "The buyer told me the next morning he had something urgent and couldn't make it. Still, he paid in full as promised." The buyer had always been a mystery. He never revealed his identity but was extravagantly generous. To this day, no one knew who he was. "But Caroline did spend the night with a man," Samantha said, stunned. "The driver we hired confirmed it. He took her to the Ellison residence before dawn; she was covered in bruises!” “Exactly!" Matthew said in frustration. "So, who was the man she spent the night with?" The ridiculous mix-up left them speechless, exchanging confused glances with no answers. At that moment, firm footsteps echoed from the doorway. David had arrived! He stepped into the room with a commanding air, one hand casually tucked into his pocket. His sharp gaze swept across the room, unreadable and intense. His tall figure and strikingly handsome features radiated power and authority. "Mr. David! You're here!" Matthew greeted him with an ingratiating smile. "Welcome! Please, have a seat. It's truly an honor to have someone like you as our son-in-law!" David ignored Matthew entirely, his piercing gaze scanning the room before landing on Elizabeth. That night... could it have been her?
