Adam was distressed over his son. He knew his words wouldn’t be of much help, so he turned to Carter. “Can you talk to Jeffrey? Luke’s been kneeling all night, his body can’t handle it.” 

Though Jeffrey was the rock of the family, Carter’s presence was undeniable, and even Jeffrey had to give him some respect: 

Carter’s gaze landed on Luke, his voice cold as ice. “Is this something you did on your wedding night?” 

I froze. Carter had known about Luke’s affair with Anna all along. He’d only given Luke a few warnings, but there had been no real punishment. 

After all, the betrayal had already happened. What difference did it make when it occurred? Why was he asking? 

Luke’s eyes darted around, refusing to meet Carter’s gaze. 

Carter sneered. “So it’s true.” 

“Uncle Carter, I … ” Luke attempted to explain but couldn’t find the words. 

The truth was, no amount of explanation would change anything. 

“Damian, bring me the stick.” The command filled Carter’s gaze with chilling coldness, visibly shaking Adam. 

Wasn’t Carter the one they’d called for help? Why was he adding fuel to the fire? 

“No, Carter, you’ve misunderstood; I was just saying- 

Carter snapped his head up. His commanding aura filled the room, silencing Adam in an instant. 

“On his wedding night, his bride died by the river while he was there cheating in the marriage home. Does a sc*undrel like him deserve to live?” 

I had always found Carter to be cold, distant, never daring to get too close. He was always composed, never losing his temper. 

This, however, was the first time I had seen him so enraged. 

Adam had brought this on himself. Carter turned to Damian and said, “Punish him. No mercy.” 

Earlier, Luke had received the same punishment. The Boltons had felt some sympathy for Luke and only gave him a mild lesson. After a couple of days of rest, he had barely felt it.. 

But Damian was different. He stood nearly six feet three tall, his muscular frame making it clear he was trained for combat. He wasn’t about to go easy on anyone. 

I slowly walked up to Damian and asked, “Can I give it a try?” 

Damian glanced at Carter, who gave a slight nod. “Let her.”

“Yes, sir.” 

I took the whip. Luke looked up at me; the look in his eyes was complicated.

Perhaps he thought I was trying to help him. After all, as a woman, my strength would be much less than Damian’s. 

He couldn’t have been more wrong. This was about releasing years of frustration. 

The suffering I had endured, the time I spent as a soul, no one could ever understand. 

“Luke, this is what you owe Chloe.” 

With that, I raised the whip and struck his back with all my might. 

Even though I was a woman, I put all my strength into it. The crack of the whip was loud and clear. 

Luke didn’t expect me to hit him with such force. The pain caused him to cry out. 

“Aw!” 

“Does it hurt?” I asked coldly, locking eyes with him. 

Luke met my gaze, which was filled with the anger and hatred that had been brewing inside. I knew I should hide my emotions, but I couldn’t help myself.” 

After all these years of being by his side, all I got in the end was a tragic death. 

It hurt! I wanted him to feel the same pain I had. 

“Y–you’re…” Luke seemed to see Chloe standing before him. 

I continued to lash him, blow after blow. If he hadn’t saved me back then, this twisted fate would never haye happened. 

“Luke, this is what you owe me.” 

Luke stopped crying out. His eyes were fixed on me, as if he wanted to peer through my skin and see my soul. 

“Enough.” 

Carter’s voice cut through the room, commanding Damian to take the whip from my hand. 

Carter gently pulled me down. I lost my balance and slumped on his lap. 

What is he doing? 

He held my wrist, noticing the deep, clear marks left or my palm from gripping the whip too tightly. 

“Does it hurt?” 

At first, I hadn’t felt much, but after his question, a dull numbness spread through my hand. “I’m fine, Dad What about Anna?“.

I shifted the topic to the star of the show. Jeffrey, who had been stunned by my earlier actions, snapped back into focus 

“She has a heart condition and recently attempted to take her own life. Doing surgery now would be too risky. We’ll wait two weeks before we proceed with the operation.” 

Kate frowned and said, “Jeffrey, once this child is born my family will accept full responsibility. We won’t ask anything from the Boltons. But my daughter isn’t in the good shape for another surgery” 

Before Jeffrey could respond, I glared at her coldly and said, “Mrs. Sander, now I understand why your daughter did something so outrageous. With parents like you, I’m sure you’d help her cover up murder too, wouldn’t you?” 

Kate hadn’t changed, she was still defending Anna’s every action. 

“Ms. Gardner, you’re new to Bolton Residence, so I understand your ignorance, but that doesn’t give you the right to speak carelessly.”
