Elizabeth asked, “But, Mom, what happens when ten months pass and there's no baby? What do | do then?”
Samantha scoffed. “That's the easiest part. Say you had difficult labor, but the baby was stillborn. Or claim you
suffered a miscarriage halfway through the pregnancy after an unfortunate fall. Or, find a baby elsewhere and
pass it off as your own. Elizabeth, there are countless ways to handle this. What matters now is that you must
fake this pregnancy.”
A brief silence settled over the room before Matthew gave a slow, deliberate nod.
Elizabeth squared her shoulders, determination hardening her features. “Alright. Let's do it.”
Night descended over the Ellison residence.
In the dimly lit study, David sat at his desk, his gaze locked onto the computer screen where William's face
flickered, “Have you found out who drugged me?”
“Mr. Ellison, we've identified a suspect. It's a waitress from the restaurant.”
“Where is she now?”
William hesitated. “She’s vanished.”
David's expression darkened. “What?”
William explained, his voice steady. “I believe she was never a real employee. She infiltrated the restaurant with
the purpose to drug you. There's no record of her in their system, no employment history, nothing. Once her job

David leaned back in his chair, the glow of the screen casting sharp shadows across his face.
“Mr. Ellison, this was likely someone's attempt to set you up. Someone at that dinner wanted to send a woman to
you, but before they could act, Ms. Elizabeth intervened and took you to a hotel room instead. That threw off
their plan. If you want to get to the bottom of this, we’ll need to interrogate everyone who attended the dinner.
Someone must know who was behind it.”
David's jaw tensed.
Every guest at that gathering held status, such as CEOs politicians, influential figures. Dragging them in for
questioning over something as sordid as drugging his drink seemed unnecessary.
It wasn’t about fear. It was about priorities.
Besides, he had spent the night with Caroline in the end. Their schhad failed.
Caroline...
He recalled what she had said that Elizabeth might have been the one to drug him. She had appeared. almost
instantly after the drug took effect. It was too concidental.

“... I haven't looked into her yet, Mr. Ellison.” William straightened. ‘I'll begin immediately and report back by
tomorrow.”
David exhaled sharply..

Just as he was about to issue his next command, the study door creaked open slightly.
Whoever stood outside neither entered nor left, just lingered.
There was only one person in the entire Ellison residence who would do something like that.
David's gaze sharpened. “Caroline.” His voice was low, edged with irritation. “What do you want?”
Caroline stood at the doorway, her grip tightening around the tray in her hands, her knuckles white.
