Moreover... Caroline could see that Marilyn and Andrew were not to be underestimated. They would surely target
her regularly. She needed leverage to secure her place in the Ellison family. She was alone, and her own family
couldn't be relied upon. Once David died, she would surely be looked down upon by the Ellison family. Caroline
wasn't after their wealth, it was just that she had just crawled out of the pit of her own family, and the last thing
she needed was to get involved in the Ellison family's power struggles. Having a child will be my best form of
support! Caroline had decided for herself. “I understand, Mr. Richard," Caroline responded. "I hope | can get
pregnant soon." Richard gave her a satisfied nod. ... That night. Caroline sat on the edge of the bed, propping

have such a hard life at home," she sighed, and then continued, "But I didn't expect that a legitimate son like
you would be in an even worse position. Your life is now hanging by a thread just because of someone's
scheme... It's so obvious that your step-mother and your step-brother are eager for you to die, they didn't even
bother to hide it. Your grandfather is the only person that still cares about you, he hopes that you'll leave an heir
behind." Caroline paused for a moment, and then said, "I just wish you'd wake up, so that you can take down
everyone who's scheming against you. You'll seize control of the Ellison family, and take your place as its new
leader." David's background was an open secret in Dunwich. He was the eldest son in his family, but his birth
mother was just an ordinary, unknown woman with no background. The Ellison family had never approved of
their marriage and had never allowed her to enter the family. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was a boy,
his family might have even rejected him entirely. The actual power over Ellison Group, the family's business, lay
entirely in Richard's hands. Recently, he had been considering who to choose as his successor. As a result, the
power struggles within the family had grown even more intense. Although David was born to a lower status than
Andrew, his ability and vision were all extraordinary. Everyone had placed their bets on him, but no one had
expected that he would be poisoned, fall into a coma, and be declared brain-dead. It was clear who had done
this, but no one would snitch. Besides, there was no evidence. Caroline reached out to check David's breathing,
it was faint and weak. She stood up and prepared to get a towel to wipe his body, but just as she took a few
steps, Andrew suddenly appeared at the door. He stepped inside and locked the door behind him. "What are you
doing here?" Caroline asked cautiously. "I'm here to get you pregnant," Andrew said with a malicious smile as he
looked her up and down. "Instead of going through all the trouble of IVF and egg retrieval, why not just be with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme? What do you say?" "You're crazy! I'm your sister-in-law!" "So I'm sleeping with my sister-in-law,” Andrew
rubbed his hands together. He had a wicked grin on his face as he said, “If you carry my child, we'll just say it's
David's. No one will know, and after all, it's still our family's bloodline." Andrew absolutely could not allow
Caroline to conceive David's child. That would leave a potential heir and a future threat to him. His brother had
always been smarter than him, he had spent years living under his shadow. Now that he's about to die, there's
no way I'll let her carry his child! The family business will be mine soon! Andrew let out a sinister laugh as he
lunged at Caroline. He grabbed her from behind and started tearing at her clothes. "Let go of me... You psycho!"
Caroline struggled desperately, "Don't touch me, you animal!" But she was no match for Andrew's strength. Her
shoulder was exposed, her clothes were in disarray, and she was pinned to the bed. He pressed his lips all over
her back and her neck, it made her feel sick. Caroline's heart filled with despair. Who will save me? She thought.
Just as she was about to lose all hope, a cold, hoarse voice rang out, "Let her go!"
