Chapter 120 Carter, it’s so sweet! 

I didn’t care anymore. To provoke Luke, I forcefully placed Carter’s hand around my waist, 

Carter’s large hand pressed against me. Even though I was wearing a sweater, he was stiff and unmoving, as if afraid to overstep the boundaries by even the smallest amount. 

Luke’s face darkened, but I felt a rush of satisfaction. 

I remembered how Anna would frequently cozy up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck or waist, sometimes almost kissing him in front of me. 

All I did was tell him to be mindful of the boundaries. Luke would furrow his brow, staring at me with cold eyes. “You’re the one who’s dirty, always seeing filth in others. Anna is my sister. What are you thinking? Apologize to Anna,” 

He could be sweet and affectionate with a girl who wasn’t even his real sister. Why couldn’t I be affectionate with my own husband? 

It felt so good to finally turn the tables. The cold violence and negative pressure I had endured from Luke hadn’t been a one–time thing- 

For years, I had felt like a walking corpse, especially after losing the child, when my mental state broke down completely. 

I had even wondered if I hadn’t been accidentally killed, and if I had exposed Luke and Anna’s affair, my family probably still wouldn’t have sided with me. 

They would have found excuses for Anna and blamed everything on me. In the end, I would have been completely abandoned. 

It was because my body was something they had given me that they could stand on their moral high ground, bind me with their expectations, and guilt–trip me. 

I would be trapped in this torment for the rest of my life. 

Chloe’s death severed the last ties I had with them. 

From now on, I would take revenge without any emotional burden. 

What I owed them, I had already repaid long ago. 

What I needed to do now was have my revenge in full, and I was going to make it even worse! This would be much better than simply stabbing them once. 

A single stab would only hurt for a few minutes, but I wanted them to suffer day and night. 

I coyly leaned against Carter’s neck, my voice soft and sweet, “Carter, tonight… could you go a little gentler? It hurts” 

That little whiny tone just happened to be loud enough for Luke to hear. 

Carter was wearing a high–neck cashmere sweater, and Die soft fabric clung to his skin, taking on a faint

pink hue. 

His voice—was hoarse and tense, “Mhm.” 

“Carter, let’s go. I can’t wait to have a home with you.” 

I got up from his lap and pushed the wheelchair again, not sparing Luke another glance.

“By the way, Carter, do you prefer boys or girls? Maybe we could have two, one like you, one like me.” 

The moment I said this, Luke abruptly raised his eyes and looked at me. 

He had heard me say those very words to him once before. 

Word for word.

stared at my back in shock, then he walked up to us. “Uncle Carter, I know more about property th 

you do. Since it’s snowing heavily today and we have nothing else to do, why don’t I join you and help yo choose?” 

Carter glanced at him and said, “Suit yourself.” 

I don’t really understand the nature of Carter’s feelings toward Luke. 

If you were to say they were close, in the past years, I never saw them interact much. 

In a way, they were rivals, but Carter had gone abroad early on to work hard. 

Clearly, he wasn’t interested in the family legacy. He was determined to get what he wanted on his own, without trying to compete with Luke. 

Recently, though, Carter had returned to the country, and his investments were shifting toward domestic assets. He even hinted that he wanted to take over the family business. 

I couldn’t shake the feeling that Carter didn’t have the same defensive stance toward Luke that Luke had toward him. 

Carter didn’t seem to plan on hurting Luke at all; in fact, he seemed almost indulgent. 

Anna, of course, insisted on joining them. 

Luke started to find her annoying. He asked, “Why are you coming with us?” 

After my death, Anna had no more reservations. She was bent on marrying Luke legitimately 

But Luke didn’t want to accept her, deliberately avoiding her. 

One of them wanted to go public, and the other wanted to escape. 

But this game was already set in motion, and Luke couldn’t bail out now.

But Anna had made a mistake. My rebirth was the biggest twist, and my face was the greatest weapon 

She became eager and exposed her intentions too soon, trying to use the child to force Luke’s hand. 

Moreover, she had underestimated Luke, that hypocritical, selfish man. 

The one he loved most wasn’t me or Anna–it was himself. 

People spend their whole lives chasing what they can’t have. 

When he was with me, he craved novelty, freedom. Anna’s appearance had satisfied that for him. 

After I passed, he played the loving husband, making me the beloved he could never reach. 

How could a living person compete with the dead? 

I remained in his heart as a symbol of regret and guilt. 

Now, a woman who resembled me had appeared again, and it sparked his worst instincts. 

The substitution helped his complicated feelings for Chloe gradually shift onto me, and a thought woul occur to him–let me replace Chloe. 

Anna must have feared that this would happen, which was why she was so desperate to force Luke. 

What she forgot was that when a man began to get impatient with you, it was the beginning of failure. 

And all I had to do was stand back and orchestrate the whole game. 

In the end, they followed us. Carter and I sat at the front of the van, while they took the back row, 

Carter had suffered because of me. Every day, he’d be dragged out to be my tool, his face turning red ove and over again. 

But I was sure that with time, he would be more brazen and get used to it. 

Thinking about it, I took out a box of grapes and smiled at Carter, “Do you like grapes?” 

Carter gave me a brief, guarded glance, already seeing through my little tricks. 

He knew I was up to something again. 

But he didn’t make things awkward for me and cooperated, “They’re okay.
