As I was about to leave, I noticed Alisa and Luke walking down the hallway, deep in conversation. 

When Alisa suggested marriage to Luke, I had already anticipated how the evening would unfold. 

Back in the main hall, the energy remained vibrant and joyful.

Since the Gardners spent most of their time overseas, Sadie didn’t have acquaintances here. Despite her stunning evening dress tonight, all eyes were on me, with socialites and wealthy women constantly approaching for a chat. 

Sadie couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the contrast. Back abroad, even though she was the daughter of a mistress, everyone knew Bill’s favoritism towards his two daughters, and she was always admired. 

However, the Gardners didn’t hold as much sway in this country. The only family that commanded real respect was the long–established Boltons. 

I was personally appointed as Mrs. Bolton by Jeffrey. Of course, others tried to curry favor with me. 

Several times, Sadie wanted to vent her frustration at me, but the crowd surrounding me made it impossible for her to act. 

I waited patiently, knowing the perfect moment to act was approaching. 

Sadie approached me on her own initiative, her tone filled with urgency. 

“My bracelet is gone!” she cried out. 

Hearing her distressed voice, Bill, who had been sitting beside my mother, immediately rose to his feet. 

“What’s all this noise about?” 

Sadie, still clinging to the habits of the Gardners‘ circle, assumed that stirring up a scene would garner 

attention. 

“Dad, it’s the bracelet Zoey was begging me for last time–it’s gone!” 

Bill furrowed his brows and said sternly. “It’s just a bracelet. I’ll get you another one later. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself here.” 

Sadie’s expression darkened. “Dad, that bracelet was the gift you gave me for my 18th birthday. I still remember how upset Zoey was–she nearly tried to jump off a building over it.” 

As if on cue, right when things were getting dull, an opportunity fell straight into her lap. 

It appeared I wouldn’t even need to rely on the incident I had planned earlier–this fool had walked straight into the trap on their own. 

“Sadie, you keep insinuating I took your bracelet. Are you suggesting I did it intentionally?” 

I didn’t mean it that way. Zoey. I removed the bracelet while using the restroom earlier, and it was then that I noticed your maid. Daisy, slipping away with something in her hands. It looked suspicious, so I

thought someone might be trying to pull something behind your back. Or perhaps you forgot to mention that you were holding onto it for me?” 

She deliberately accused me of fabricating the story about the bracelet being stolen to sabotage my dinner party. 

This was my debut event as Mrs. Bolton, and any rumors about theft would turn the gathering into a public embarrassment. 

Like Anna, Sadie had her focus entirely on targeting me 

As she created a commotion, the crowd began to surround us, and Sadie basked in the attention, feigning generosity. 

“Sadie, I haven’t even laid eyes on your bracelet.” 

“It’s only a bracelet worth a million dollars–not particularly valuable. I’ll ask her about it later; perhaps she simply forgot to hand it over. There’s no need to make a fuss over such a minor issue…” 

She tried to shift blame onto Daisy with a few simple words, hoping to smear my name in the process. 

At that moment, a chilling voice cut through the tension. 

“Let’s get to the bottom of this,” Carter said icily as he emerged from the crowd in his wheelchair. 

As he moved forward, people instinctively stepped aside to clear a path for him. 

Despite his reliance on a wheelchair, no one dared to take this man lightly. 

“Mr. Bolton, it’s just a bracelet… Sadie said, her tone slightly uneasy. 

“Ms. Gardner,” Carter’s voice was steady but firm, “if someone truly took your bracelet, we won’t condone such behavior. However, if this matter has no connection to my family, you owe my wife an apology.” 

Bill’s expression darkened as he interjected, “We’re all family here–what’s the need for an apology? Sadie was only’speaking offhandedly; it wasn’t a big deal.” 

“She keeps bringing up how my wife likes it, though she never directly accused her of stealing. Yet, every word suggests it. We would never steal something so trivial. If this isn’t cleared up, my wife will be unfairly blamed. Why should she be?” 

“Damian, have Daisy come here to explain.” 

“Understood.” 

Damian turned and walked away. Moments later, the bodyguards rushed over, saying, “Mr. Bolton, there’s 

a situation 

He seemed unsure, and the crowd around us grew more curious. 

Carter furrowed his brow and said, “Apologies, everyone, but I have some personal matters to deal with. Zoey, please come with me.” 

2/4 I immediately followed him. Seeing that something was happening with the Boltons, Sadie saw the chance

for drama. She wasn’t about to miss it. 

“Surely they’ve caught the thief. Let’s go find out. We can’t let her get away!”

Bill scowled and held onto her hand “Sadie, stop it! It’s just a bracelet. Don’t make such a big deal out of it” 

“Dad, but what if it’s more than just a bracelet? What if something serious happened with the Boltons? We should go over and help, don’t you think? 

She led the way, and soon everyone else followed. 

1 could hear footsteps behind me, and a faint smile appeared on my face. Leaning in, I whispered to Carter. “This is quite the show? 

Carter tightened his grip on my hand in reply. 

I quickly pulled my hand away. Recently, he had been getting closer to me more and more. 

The spot where his hand had brushed against mine still tingled. 

It was an unfamiliar sensation. 

We purposely lingered outside the neglected tool shed, waiting for the others to show up. Inside, there a small bed.
