Anna could never have imagined that the child she had schemed so hard to conceive, her greatest bargaining chip, would be utterly useless in front of Jeffrey. 

Perhaps she had been too arrogant. If her status had been higher than Luke’s, there might have been a chance for her. 

The truth was, the Sanders had always intended to use a marriage alliance to climb up to the Boltons. The only reason I was able to marry Luke was because we were childhood sweethearts. 

Jeffrey had watched me grow up, and despite the Sanders‘ undeserved association with the Boltons, no one 

had questioned the marriage. 

Since I turned 18, both our families had already been grooming me to become Mrs. Bolton. 

I cherished the marriage I had worked so hard to secure, and at that time, I truly believed I was happy. 

Marrying my childhood friend, with the support of our families, both of which were prestigious- it felt like a fairy tale. 

Anna, however, was different. She had remained at the Boltons as the younger sister. She wasn’t just any sister, but my own flesh and blood. 

If word got out, what would become of our family’s reputation? 

Once my mourning period was over, the Boltons could easily find a woman who was more suitable, someone of the same social standing. Anna would never have a place.. 

Moreover, Anna’s little tricks were only effective against those who truly loved her. 

Jeffrey, on the other hand, had no blood ties to her and treated her like a mere trinket. 

The Boltons could afford to suppon her; therefore, he never interfered. 

But having such a calculating woman as Mrs. Bolton? That would never happen. 

“Abortion? Jeffrey, Anna has a heart condition; she…” Kate began, trying to intercede. 

Despite her constant criticism of Anna as a shameless woman, Kate was unable to act ruthlessly when Anna’s interests were at risk. 

Jeffrey, evidently fed up with the nonsense, abruptly cut her off. “Whether she can have the surgery or not should be determined by the doctor. Hugo, escort Ms. Sander out. She’s pregnant now, get more people to take care of her. 

“Yes, sir, came the response. 

Jeffrey’s idea of care was actually a soft form of confinement, ensuring that Anna couldn’t stir up any trouble again. 

The fact that he kept calling her Ms. Sander was deliberate- it marked a clear separation between Annal and the Boltons.

Once I was gone, there would be no ties between the families. 

The dinner invitation for the Sanders had originally been a gesture to placate them,

After all, to outsiders, my death had been tied to Luke’s light from the wedding. But Anna’s scheme not only failed to achieve its goal but also caused Jeffrey to lose respect for the Sanders. 

There was no hope of any future alliance with the Boltons. Jeffrey made it clear he wanted nothing more to do with the Sanders. 

As Anna was taken away, she remained silent, but her gaze was fixed firmly on me. 

In that moment, I had the strange impression that she saw right through my identity. 

But I was no longer afraid. 

I knew all too well just how vicious she could be. With this face of mine, even if I did nothing, just by holding the title of Mrs. Bolton, a position granted to me by Jeffrey, Anna would never let me go. 

Whether I was Chloe or Zoey, anyone who stood in her way would not be spared. 

The Sanders, having caused such a scene, all left with a gloomy expression. One by one, they left the 

room. 

Jeffrey looked at his unfilial grandson and was furious. Go to the family chapel! You’re punishable with kneeling there. Chloe has just met the maker, how dare you do that to her?” 

I pushed Carter back to the room. He hadn’t said a word the whole way. When I closed the door, he spoke in a cool, emotionless tone, “Do you have something to tell me?” 

His voice, so light and calm, held no hint of anger, yet it sent a shiver down my spine. 

I crouched in front of his wheelchair and said with a pout, “Actually, when I was in the car, I noticed their relationship was off. I couldn’t stand it–his wife had jus died, and he couldn’t control himself. Given the presence of the Sanders, I felt compelled to expose them.” 

Carter’s gaze deepened, dark as night, and unreadable. It was unnerving. 

“Zoey, you’re using me,” he stated, his tone firm. 

I immediately shook my head and said, “You know, my time back home hasn’t been easy. If not you, then someone else. I just thought that while you may be cold you’re not a bad person I 

Carter’s hand, long and knotted, lifted my chin. A mocking smile played at the corner of his lips, and he asked, “Why are you so sure that I’m not a bad person, um?” 

My heart raced. He’s right. Zoey doesn’t know him. Why am I so sure? 

Just because he’s looking for me after I died? Or because of the black rose he left in front of my graver 

In a moment of panic, I broke free from his grip and threw myself into his arms, wrapping my hands around his neck.

“I simply trust you! Carter, you won’t hurt me, right?” 

From the–angle I couldn’t see. Carter’s eyes trembled violently. 

A look of disbelief flashed across his face, and then he tightened his arms around my waist. 

His lips brushed against my ear, and he murmured solemnly, “Yeah, I will never hurt you.” 

Just like that? I passed his test? 

He trusted me? 

Carter looked at me, his gaze softening, and he reached up to ruffle my hair, 

come rest.
