It turned out that Carter wasn't cold or indifferent at all, he was actually quite gentle.
"Thank you," I said, pulling my hand back, ready to leave, "Wait," he called out.
I looked at him, confused. "What is it?" "Anna isn't simple. It may seem like you've won this time, but have you ever thought that I was all part of her plan?" Carter locked eyes with me. Each word he spoke felt like a blow to my head. I stared at him, disbelief written all over my face. "W-what are you saying?" "If you were having an affair, would you choose such an obvious way to do it?" His words hithard, and for a moment, I stood there stunned. Slowly, my thoughts started to clear.
From the moment we were in the car, Anna had deliberately been trying to tempt Luke.
Though I knew it as a spirit, Zoey had no idea about their affair.
"She did it on purpose to show me!" I realized suddenly Carter had known about their relationship for a long time. He had chosen to protect the Boltons reputation and not expose the truth, but it was different for me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was just a girl, younger than her, with little experience in such matters.
"From the moment you entered the Boltons, you made your animosity toward her clear. If you had seen their affair, what would you have done?" Carter said, carefully breaking it down for me.
"You cin and immediately drew Jeffrey's attention. You sensed the tension between us. Wouldn't you expose the affair to secure your position?" ""You would!" he insisted.
Yes, I would have, but it wasn't about securing my position; it was about revenge. In Carter's analysis, he wasn't wrong.
"Even if it wasn't for personal gain, you despise evil. When you learned Chloe had just passed away and her husband was cheating with his sister-in-law, you would ye exposed the truth, no matter the reason. You would have fulfilled Anna's wish, as she was eagerly awaiting your action." A chill ran down my spine. Although I had felt something was too easy, my desire for revenge had made overlook it.

"She wants to useas a stepping stone, with the child as bait to force a marriage!" This was Anna's true goal, and I was just a pawn in her game.
But the one unexpected element was Jeffrey. She hadn't anticipated how determined he would be, demanding she terminate the baby when she was already pregnant, giving her no chance at all.
Carter nodded and said, "Well, there's still hope for you. Anna is extremely calculating, and you have to be cautious when dealing with her. The only reason you haven't lost is not because she's stupid, but because luck has been on your side. My father didn't give her a chance, but he also made you Mrs. Bolton, turning her plot into a failure." "I understand now. Jeffrey saw through it all along. He was worried that everyone would tear each other apart over the title, so he gavethat set of jewelry in front of everyone. It wasn't just to stop the conflict -quiet Anna and Sheila down." Jeffrey truly was sharp. He figured it out in one glance.
Carter fixed his gaze onand asked, "Do you think those two would stop?" "No. They'll definitely stir up trouble at the banquet." "Zoey, tell me, just how far are you willing to go?" His intense gaze felt like it pierced through me. I couldn't see through him at all.
"I don't know. I just feel that Chloe's death was too tragic. Maybe it's because we look so alike, but I feel a deep connection to her. I want to uncover the truth of her death. On the day of the wedding, her fiancé was with her sister. I suspect Anna may be the killer. She has the motive!" "Do you have evidence?" "I don't." Although I had seen sthings while following Luke, Anna hadn't directly participated in my murder. She had cleaned her hands of it entirely.
"But I have a lead." I had planned to investigate it on my own, I had underestimated Carter. In the short twe'd spent together, he had already figuredout If he were my enemy, I would be terrified.
"What lead?" he asked.

I squatted beside Carter's wheelchair, looking him in the eye "Mr Bolton, I want to find out the truth. What about you? Are you withor against me?"
This was my attempt to try to make him choose a side. If he wanted to protect the family reputation, then even if the truth cout, he would never expose it. What would my rebirth mean then? "I stand with justice. Whoever the killer is, they should face the law," he said, his voice firm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI felt a little reassured.
You might think this is a bit far-fetched, but when I passed out, I heard Ms. Sander's Xoice. She tolda clue. She said the person who killed her had been seen at an auto repair shop." This was the only clue Esmee leftbefore she disappeared. If I ever met that person, even if it was just their eyes, I would never mistake them! "An auto repair shop Carter looked puzzled.
"Yes, Mr. Bolton. Can you helpinvestigate all the auto repair shops and get the photos of their employees and owners?" Carter looked at me. For a moment, I thought he would dismiss it as nonsense. But quickly, he agreed "Alright." "Thank you." "From now on, stay away from Anna," he cautioned me.
I understood. After all, he was the one who most suspected Anna. He'd put in a lot of effort but had found no flaws in her.
This woman was too clever. He didn't wantgetting hurt by her schemes.
But my battle with Anna had long been destined to be a fight to the death.
This was a lesson for me. I would never underestimate her again.
There was a knock on the door.
Damian entered with a test report in his hand. He said, "Sir, here are Luke's biopsy results." Right, he had just undergone a gastroscopy and biopsy. I was curious to know the results. ""What is it?" Since Carter wasn't trying to hide anything from me, he spoke directly. "Stomach cancer, stage two, and kidney failure."
