David looked at her again. “Isn’t your child the result of you seeking out the man you loved after you knew you were to be married into the Ellison family as a decay bride?”
“No, it’s not like that,” Caroline shook her head. “I don’t have the cunning or the courage to do something so risky. Besides… I don’t have a beloved man anymore
She raised her hand, clutching the corner of his shirt, her lips pale and her face even whiter.
“In fact, before I was sold to you as a decoy bride, I was sold once before.”
David’s eyes narrowed slowly. “Sold once before?”
“Yes.” Caroline’s mouth was bitter. “And it was still the Brooks family who adopted me that sold me.”
David found it hard to believe. “How is that possible? How could the Brooks family dare?”
The Ellison family had offered a dowry of five billion dollars to find a decoy bride!
With so much money, how could the Brooks family not be satisfied? How could they dare to price Caroline clearly and sell her to someone else?
Caroline spoke slowly, “Yeah, I thought the same at the time. How could the Brooks family dare. Five billion dollars couldn’t satisfy their greed; they wanted more. And weren’t they afraid of retaliation from the Ellison family? Maybe they thought, since you, David, were a dying man, you wouldn’t amount to much. Even if you married me, I would just be a decoration, a mascot, and you wouldn’t even see what I look like. That’s why they were so bold. After all, nobody expected you to suddenly wake up and become the head of the Ellison family!”
“I was also unaware at the time, only knew that a good day had been chosen and the Ellison residence would send a car to pick me up. On the wedding day, I got into the wedding car in my bridal gown, everything seemed to be proceeding normally. However, the car didn’t drive to the Ellison residence but took me to another place. In the car, the driver drugged me.”
Caroline’s voice was very slow, still choked with sobs and tremors.
But as she spoke, she kept her eyes fixed on David’s, not looking away.

“When I woke up, I was in a room, and I could hear people talking outside. It was clear. That was when H found out that all this was arranged by the Brooks family. They had already sold my virginity at a clear price to a tycoon. After the tycoon was done, they were to send me to the Ellison residence.”
“The whole time, I was powerless to resist, could only silently accept. The drug left me weak, talking was difficult, let alone escaping. It was that night that I got pregnant. I didn’t think to take emergency contraception; I thought it wasn’t possible to get pregnant so easily, because it was just that one night… It seems, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.”
“David…” Caroline’s eyes were misty with tears, “now you know, that’s how my child was conceived.”
David’s face turned ashen, full of shock and disbelief.
At this point, Caroline couldn’t possibly dare to lie to him.

Caroline continued, “You once asked me why I didn’t visit your hospital room on our wedding night, why I didn’t appear. David, when did I have the time or the opportunity to be by your side?”
“The events unfolded just like this, I haven’t hidden anything.” Caroline even swore a dire oath, “If there’s a single lie in what I just said, may a curse befall me and my child, condemned forever!”
