After suffering consecutive blows, the Samiler family had quieted down considerably compared to before. The moment Nelson showed up, Kate became visibly agitated and hurried over 

Hill, who also had no idea what was happening, frowned and said, “You must be mistaken. My daughter and Fabian have never had any interactions whatsoever 

Kate nodded in agreement, her skepticismy evident. “That’s what I’m saying! 1 Thought you said it was an 

evident? What’s changed to make it murder? 

“We need Ms. Gandner to cooperate with our investigation before we can conclude anything. Ms. Gardner, please come with us!” 

Sadie, looking panicked, turned to Bill and said, “Dad, Ive been framed! I didn’t kill anyone! I don’t even. know Ethan 

But Nelsois took her away without delay 

Sadie had likely envisioned a triumphant moment in the spotlight, not this sudden and devastating downlall 

Hills banquet was forcefully turned into a joke. Honestly, I felt bad for him. 

But then again, it’s his fault for having an affair and spoiling Sadie to this degree. 

A child who’s been spoiled rotten eventually learns to disregard even human lives. 

Back when she was studying abroad, she enjoyed bullying her classmates. If something went wrong, the Gardners would just throw their influence and money around to settle things. 

Her entire life had been smooth sailing. 

But of course, the wheel of fortune turns for everyone, Sadie had no idea she was now up against someone as ruthless as Anna 

All Anna needed was a small nudge, and Sadie reached the end of her rope. 

Sadie probably still didn’t know what had hit her by the time Anna had her utterly destroyed. 

As I watched Sadie being taken away, Anna supported Kate, whose face was pale. Kate asked nervously, “Captain Tucker, what do you mean? Are you saying my sou didn’t die man accident?” 

Anna, calm as ever, reassured her, “Mom, we don’t know anything yet. Let’s wait for the police investigation results” 

Ethan and Sadie these two people were completely unrelated, from entirely separate worlds. 

Now both families were utterly bewildered. 

Naturally, the banquet couldn’t continue. 

When Anna passed by me, she shot me a meaningful glare as it to warn me

If I interfered in her business again, Sadie’s fate would be my own. 

I lowered my gaze, pretending to be afraid. 

I wanted her to think I was still traumatized from the last time she pulled a knife on me. 

Anna led Kate away.

I wanted to stay behind to take care of my inom, but Carter received a call from Jeffrey, summoning us back to the Bolton Residence. 

“Don’t worry, Zoey. You should head back. You’re married now, and it wouldn’t look good to keep staying at your maternal home–it would invite gossip.” 

“Mom, if anything happens, call me. I can be here in 20 minutes, tops. 

“Alright, don’t worry. There are housestaff at home. I’m in my first trimester; everything should be fine.” 

“I’ll come see you tomorrow,” 

To me. Mom is still the one who needs taking care of. 

If 

I think about it, she’s only ten years older than I was in my past life, more like an older sister than a mother. 

Bill helped her into the car, his face full of worry for Sadie. 

Reluctantly. I got into the car, and Carter clasped my hand in his. His palm was warm and reassuring. 

“There are housestaff to look after her, she will be fine.” 

“Mm.” 

Meeting his calm and steady gaze, I asked, “What about Sadie? What consequences will she face this time?” 

“If the evidence against her is solid and proves she hired someone to kill, even the best lawyer won’t be able to get her off. She’ll serve several years at least. If the crime is severe, her sentence could be much harsher.” 

“She deserves it! Zoey was driven to death by her! Let her rot in prison and reflect on her sins.” 

“Alright, don’t let people like her upset you. It’s not worth it.” 

Carter gently patted my shoulder. 

I rested my hand on his, a small smile playing on my lips. “It’s been years, but it’s surprising how in sync 

we still are. 

“How could I forget something that’s etched into my memory? But you… have you been practicing in secret all these years?” 

Embarrassed, I nodded. “Sometimes, just a little. I wouldn’t have gotten here without you. But….. 

“When you play the piano, what are you thinking about

Leaning in slowly, he kissed my lips, softly uttering just one word, “You”

The car stopped at the Bolton Residence. Reluctantly, pulled away from him, my ears burning red. 

Ever the gentleman, he handed me his coat. Bundled in my thick down jacket, I wheeled him back into the Bolton Residence. 

Jeffrey was seated on the living room couch. Luke had turned before us and was sitting silently by his 

side. 

Seeing him, I felt a little nervous and called out softly. 

“Hi. Jeffrey…” 

Jeffrey looked up at the two of us. His tone was relatively mild as he said, “You’re back.” 

“Mm.” 

“New Year’s is around the corner. There’s a lot to take care of at the Boltons. I know your mother is pregnant, but since you’ve married into this family, your focus should still be on the Boltons.” 

I nodded. “I got it.” 

“It’s late. Go and rest. 

Luke looked like he wanted to say something as I walked away but ultimately held his tongue. 

In the elevator, Carter reassured me in a low voice, “He’s just getting on in years. With the New Year approaching, he probably just wants the family close. 

“He didn’t mean anything else by it.” 

“I understand.” 

Once back in our room, I called my mom. 

She told me that after Bill dropped her off, he immediately left, likely to figure out a way to help Sadie. 

I reminded her not to get involved and to focus on her pregnancy. 

All we needed to do was sit back and watch things unfold. 

Sadie brought this on herself. 

After hanging up, I stood there, debating whether to sleep in the guest room or share the master bedroom with Carter 

But then I realized he wasn’t in the room. 

My eyes lit up as I immediately guessed where he had gone. 

The villa was warni, but I still threw on a shawl and padded barefoot in my slippers toward the attic. 

Back in the day, Carter’s position in the Boltons was so low that Jeffrey had even disdained him.
