Although the Sanders weren’t pleased with the decision Jeffrey’s authority was undeniable. Even Adam couldn’t do a thing about it. 

His feelings were conflicted. On one hand, he didn’t want Anna to marry Luke–his reputation would suffer terribly. 

But on the other hand, seeing that Jeffrey had gifted me a jewelry set clearly showed his preference for Carter. 

If I get pregnant, the inheritance right would be out of the question–it would definitely go to Carter. 

Adam’s idea was to leave the child and get rid of Anna; it would give Luke the chance to claim more shares. 

Luke, however, appeared completely defeated. With all his last excuses stripped away, he had no interest in fighting for power. 

He was seriously injured and was promptly sent back to his room to be cared for by the family doctor. 

The Sanders were dismissed, and Jeffrey kept me behind. 

“Zoey, you really don’t like Luke, do you?” He asked directly, with no beating around the bush. 

I had already steered the situation in this direction. Jeffrey could easily find out the truth. I couldn’t hide anything. 

“Yes. I heard about Luke’s actions, and then I found out he and Anna had been secretly involved. I didn’t think Ms. Sander deserved that. And tonight, seeing them carry on like this in such a setting, I couldn’t hold back.” 

Zoey was young, and she was naturally impulsive. It was difficult for outsiders to tell. 

“You’re a good girl, Zoey. But I need to remind you, once you become Mrs. Bolton, your every word and action will reflect the family. In situations like this, you mustn’t be impulsive. Thankfully, today it’s just family, but what if there had been outsiders? It would have embarrassed both families.” 

Jeffrey spoke kindly, without reprimanding me harshly 

I nodded and said, “Jeffrey, I understand. I will be more careful from now on.” 

“I’ve also heard about your situation with the Gardners. Now that you’re marrying into our family, if anyone dares to treat you unfairly here, just tell me or Carter. Don’t let his cold demeanor fool you. He’s actually a kind–hearted person, a good kid.” 

Perhaps because I resembled Chloe, Jeffrey had no reservations and spoke to me with surprising honesty, even though we hadn’t known each other for long. 

“Thanks, Jeffrey.” 

“By the way, focus on preparing the wedding banquet. Think of it as a practice run. In the future, with the men working outside and the women running the house, the household will be yours to manage.

Jeffrey’s words implied that Luke had been excluded from the inheritance game. 

Originally, Jeffrey had wanted to give him a chance, but Luke hadn’t been able to seize it. 

He had let me die without a cause and hadn’t defended Anna after her actions were exposed. 

How could such a hesitant, irresponsible character lead Boltons to greater heights?

And he was so easily manipulated by Anna, like a puppet. If someone else set him up in the future, the Bolton legacy would be ruined. 

The spectacle last night had been like a mirror, helping Jeffrey make up his mind. 

I didn’t refuse and said, “Jeffrey, don’t worry. Carter is a good person, and I will be with him properly. By the way, what’s the theme of the banquet?” 

“You and Carter haven’t had an engagement, but you’ve gotten married. Given the recent family loss, it’s not appropriate to hold a wedding. So, we’ll just use the banquet to announce to everyone that you’re now Mrs. Bolton.” 

Hearing Jeffrey’s words, I felt a bit touched. 

The alliance between our families must have already been rumored in high society. The companies would cooperate in various fields, publicly confirming the relationship. 

But Jeffrey chose to hold a banquet to show the Boltons regard for me, and that made me feel incredibly honored. 

“Yes, I won’t let you down, Dad.” 

“Good. If anything comes up, just talk to Hugo. He’ll tell you what to do.” 

“Mm.” 

I silently left the study. The snow had stopped, but the air was still cold. As I breathed in the crisp air, I couldn’t feel a trace of chill. 

Perhaps the purpose of my rebirth was not just to take revenge but also to experience the beauty of life. 

I now realized that I 

was 

loved. 

In the dark days before I died, there was no light ahead f only thought about joining that unborn child in death. 

But now, 

aside from the hate, my heart was filled with new sense of warmth. 

Hugo was very patient. He spent the entire afternoon teaching me how to manage the estate. He even handed me the keys to the family vault. 

I thought the vault was too valuable to be trusted with me–after all, it contained precious antiques, paintings, and porcelain, including some of Jeffrey’s personal collections. 

Some of it was for personal keepsakes, and some for future gifts to other families.

Chapter 127 Drama Queen 

The title of Mrs. Bolton seemed prestigious, but it came with risks and responsibilities. 

After organizing the materials, I noticed the sky had darkened. It was time to visit Anna. 

I purposely carried a bowl of chicken soup and entered her room with a maid in tow. 

The maid opened the door, and I walked in.

Anna was sitting on the couch, looking pale and exhausted–she clearly hadn’t slept well, a stark contrast to my glowing appearance. 

In the past, she would always taunt me when Luke was around, driving me to the brink of frustration while she enjoyed a life of luxury, looking far more vibrant than me. 

Now, the roles had reversed. 

“What are you doing here?” She glared at me coldly, no longer pretending. 

I walked towards her, pretending to be kind like she used to be. “This is freshly made chicken soup from the kitchen. I heard you haven’t eaten all day, so please drink some.” 

Although she was displeased, she still put on the act and was about to take it. 

I leaned in slightly and added softly, “After all, you’re about to have a miscarriage if you don’t take care of yourself. I heard you have a heart condition. What if something happens on the operating table? With both you and the baby dying together, that wouldn’t justify your sacrifice, would it?”
