Chapter 10 I Want to Set You Up with My Son

Caroline didn’t mind getting out. She was glad to leave the car.

She pushed the car door open, stepped out, and slammed it shut with a loud thud.

The driver hesitated before nervously asking, “Mr. Davil, should we do something about Mrs. Ellison?”

“Leave her alone!” David snapped.

Pulling at his tie, he leaned back against the seat, his expression unreadable but filled with tension.

Earlier, in the private lounge at the Brooks residence, David had confronted Matthew, demanding to know the identity of the woman from that night.
