Ashley was forcefully pulled away by the bodyguards, die still cared for him and tried to intervene, but after being slapped, she finally started to understand what was happening. 

At the Boltons, Carter showed no mercy toward her. 

Not only did he not indulge her, but it also seemed like he was patiently waiting for the right moment to 

strike. 

Even Bill, her most trusted ally, had to jolti forces with the Boltons to break into the domestic market. 

It was clear that Carter held a position of greater power than Bill, and Bill wasn’t foolish enough to start a fight with him over a daughter. 

Moreover, in this situation, Zoey was the real victim. In fairness, he was unable to support Sadie’s side. 

“It’s cold out here. This involves the Sanders, so we need to sit down and figure out how to handle it.” Carter said firmly. 

The family doctor was already tending to Anna, but Josh stormed in, fury in his eyes. “My daughter is pregnant! How dare you drug her like this and force her into something so shameful? Are you even human?” 

Kate was also in tears. “My daughter has a heart condition! If she wakes up and finds out about this, what will she do? 

“You Boltons had better give the Sanders an explanation today!” 

The Boltons were in complete disarray. Anna had consumed the tainted orange juice, and there was not doubt that the blame would fall on them. 

The Sanders and the Boltons had been at odds for several days. Even though Jeffrey had offered a billion- dollar contract to smooth things over, the Sanders still held a grudge. If they didn’t receive a proper explanation today, they weren’t going to let it go. 

Now that they had a chance to get justice for their daughter, there was no way they would back down 

I briefly thought about my dead body, all alone that cold, desolate night when no one cared. But when I looked at how the Sanders treated Anna, a cold smile spread across my face, 

So, this was what they had brought upon themselves! They shouldn’t blame me for peeling back Anna’s perfect image, layer by layer. 

Jeffrey had been informed of the situation. Supported by the butler, his face was dark with anger. 

“Fine. We’ll get to the bottom of this. I want to know exactly what happened today and who’s been scheming within the Boltons,” he said, his eyes scanning the room. When his gaze landed on me, I felt a pang of guilt. 

Though I was only acting in self–defense, I couldn’t deny my involvement. 

Jeffrey was sharp–he had to suspect something-

Maybe I had let him down. 

I appreciated his concern for me, but I couldn’t let his worry stop me from seeking revenge.

Kate, her face red with fury, spoke up. “Then investigate thoroughly and clear my daughter’s name. I want to know who’s behind all this!” 

Her every word seemed directed at me. 

She was glaring at me, and I couldn’t hold back. “Mrs. Sander, what exactly are you implying? Are you accusing me?” 

Her simple mind was easy to read. Once I provoked her, her true feelings came pouring out. 

Carter tried to speak up for me, but I stopped him. I stared at the woman I had called mother for 28 years. “So. Mrs. Sander, you think it’s my fault? Am I the one who forced Luke to sleep with your daughter in the greenhouse?” 

The Gardners, who were in the room, were shocked to hear about such a scandal. 

Josh quickly stepped in to stop things from escalating. “Enough! Let’s leave the past behind. We’re not bringing that up. The point is, I’m getting justice for my daughter today!” 

“Fine! Let’s do it!” I shot back, my temper flaring. “How do you suggest we do that? 

“If it turns out I’m not responsible for all this, you’ll groyel and apologize to the Boltons and leave the property. What do you say?” I said, my arms crossed before my chest. 

“What the hell are you talking about!” Josh roared, his face turning red. “You’re just a kid! I-” 

Carter spoke up calmly. “She’s not just a kid. Don’t forget, though she’s younger, she’s your equal. You should grovel if it comes to it. 

“Fine. It’s settled then! Get ready to leave the Boltons!” Josh sneered. 

Carter gave a cold smile, clearly mocking their stupidity. Whether I left or not wasn’t for the Sanders to decide. 

Bill, for the first time, spoke up in my defense. “You wish! My daughter’s already married into the Boltons and officially registered. Do you really think you can undo that with one word? I think you’ve lived long enough to know better!” 

The argument between my two fathers, one from my past and one in the present, had escalated to a whole new level. It was rare to see them going at each other like this. 

Josh, seething with rage, shot back. “I may be old, but it’s better than having an evil daughter! She married into the Boltons and doesn’t seem content; now she’s trying to destroy everyone! You’ve raised a heartless monster! Watch out, karma’s coming for you!” 

Bill didn’t like me, but at least I was his daughter.
