He Regretted Kicking Me And Our Babies Away by David Ellison

Chapter 18 Caroline? It’s You?

Caught between his grandfather, who raised him, and his biological mother, David knew he couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

Richard was adamant against the divorce. As the patriarch of the Ellison family for decades, he wasn’t accustomed to his decisions being overturned. Now that the marriage he had personally arranged was at risk of falling apart, he was furious.

To make matters worse, the one pushing for the divorce was none other than Harper, someone he’d always looked down on.

She had already spoken to her son privately and was confident in his answer.

Richard, of course, understood that with David’s current status and power, Caroline was no longer a suitable match. But letting Harper have her way? That was a blow to his pride he couldn’t bear.

David raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Please, elaborate, Grandpa.”

“You were taught by me–your methods, your cunning your strategies. I’ve seen it all. The battle for control, you won it. And you won it decisively and brilliantly. Andrew couldn’t match you; he’s a fool. The Ellison family could never be entrusted to him, or it would crumble in no time.”

Andrew, I stayed out of it and didn’t intervene. Why? Because I believe in one thing, to the victor goes the spoils. But, David…” Richard’s tone grew sharper. “Don’t think
