Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire (Caroline and David)

Andrew had spiked the lotion with alcohol, causing over a dozen female employees to suffer severe skin issues, only to end up drinking a mouthful of high-concentration alcohol himself, nearly losing his life in the process. All thanks to Caroline.

Caroline, however, looked genuinely puzzled. "Me? What does this have to do with me?"

She hadn't done anything. She had resigned herself to bearing this blame, having no interest in fighting with Andrew. Besides, David wouldn't help her. The less trouble, the better.

Yet Andrew now acted as though he was the victim.

"Quite the actress, aren't you?" Andrew sneered. "Caroline, I admit you've got some tricks up your sleeve. You're still holding onto your position as the Ellison family's eldest daughter-in-law. I underestimated you this time, and you got the better of me!"

Caroline still didn't quite understand what he was getting at.

But the past is the past. I might not be able to do anything to David, but Andrew? His half-brother? He isn't beyond my reach!

If nothing else, she could at least win the verbal battle.

Feigning surprise, she asked, "Oh, Mr. Andrew, what did you just call me?"

"Caroline!"

"Change that," she said with a raised brow. "I'm your sister-in-law."

Andrew was immediately stunned. "You!"

"What's the matter? Don't want to say it?" Caroline's tone turned mockingly serious. "The Ellison family is

a distinguished clan that values hierarchy. Based on seniority, I'm your sister-in-law. Yet here you are, calling me by my name-where are your manners?"

Andrew clenched his teeth. "Don't push it!"

In his frustration, his stomach began to ache again, forcing him to clutch it with a grimace.

Caroline didn't know or care about his discomfort. All she cared about was hearing him call her "sister-in- law."

"Well? Are you going to say it or not?" Caroline asked, her voice calm but commanding. "I'll give you ten seconds to decide."

"My sister-in-law isn't so easy to deal with."

"That's my problem. Whether you call me that or not is yours." Caroline smirked and began to count down slowly. "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Andrew felt as if he might grind his teeth to dust.

As if drinking alcohol wasn't bad enough, now he was being forced to lower himself in front of Caroline and call her "sister-in-law.'

Chapter 137 Address Me as Your Sister-in-Law

What kind of sister-in-law? She is just a stand-in bride, someone who might be kicked out at any time. But I am a true Ellison by blood, would always be part of the family.

"Three, two..." Caroline smiled wider. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention-I'm recording this conversation. Whether it reaches David, or my mother-in-law, you'll be the one at fault."

Andrew had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out the words, "...Sister-in-law."

"What? Didn't catch that. Speak louder!"

"Caroline..."

She immediately cut him off. "What did you just call me?"

"Sister-in-law," Andrew said, his tone sharp and bitter. "Sister-in-law! It's getting late-you should clock

out

now."

Only then did Caroline smile in satisfaction. "Hmm, barely audible, but fine. I'll let it slide this time. I'm leaving."

Before turning to go, she added one more thing. "Andrew, I know all about your little schemes behind my back. If you want to keep your position as director peacefully, stop causing trouble. Otherwise, I can't promise I won't take action against you."

"You?" Andrew scoffed with disdain. "What could you possibly do to me? David controls the Ellison family. Even aft

all his plotting, the worst he managed was sending my mother to prison. He couldn't touch me. Do you think I'd fear a little girl like you?"
