Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 464

On my way to the Bolton Residence, I thought a lot after spending time up close with Dominic and his family of four.

I realized that his two sons were quite different—one was a bit naive and sweet, while the other tried hard to protect his family.

Amber was completely focused on Carter, and Dominic was solely interested in getting revenge on the Sander family, so he wasn't in the mood to deal with the Boltons.

What this means was that the people from that organization were actually targeting the Boltons but used the Carlyns as pawns.

Looking back, I suspect that the couple was likely part of the organization, possibly holding a very high rank.

In the letter, Commander's wife asked my grandma to get rid of the Carlyns, but in the end, my grandma spared them.

She also asked Grandma to join her in making money at sea, but the Sanders had never left Snowville all these years. I suspect she was referring to some kind of human organ trafficking operation. Grandma turned her down and refused to get involved in any of those dealings.

Perhaps this refusal angered them—after all, it must have been infuriating for those who once obeyed her dared to defy her.

The Carlyns were eager for revenge, so they diverted the trouble to someone else and took over the family.

What could be safer than having your enemies right under your nose?

In addition to fooling the Carlyn family and the Sander family, Commander and his wife's real target was the Boltons!

They orchestrated a grand scheme, pulling all the strings and playing everyone like puppets.

"Dad, I'm starting to suspect their real target is the Boltons. If you know anything, could you tell me?"

Jeffrey twirled his pen in his fingers. "I've been quietly having people look into this for a while. And I have a pretty clear picture now. Your instincts are right—they really are aiming to take over the Boltons' wealth."

The revelation was surprising, yet made perfect sense.

The Boltons were the true aristocrats. They had been one of Snowville's most prominent families for over a century. From what I knew, many of the undeveloped plots of land in Snowville were still owned by the Boltons.

After the new order was established, Jeffrey used aggressive tactics and capitalized on his past wealth, making another fortune.

The Boltons were like a juicy piece of meat—perhaps the Commander and his wife had been eyeing it for decades.

But the Boltons had the means to protect themselves, and even the Commander and his wife dared not act recklessly in front of them!

That's why he was able to protect Ronald during the assassination attempt, right in front of the Commander and his wife.

No wonder Wisteria got close to Luke, and after failing, still ended up marrying into the Boltons.

Getting revenge on the Sanders was one of her tasks, but she likely had other missions as well.

Jeffrey's expression darkened. "That couple has been using military power for years to commit all sorts of crimes. They tried multiple times to take control of the Boltons, but when they feared they'd be held accountable, they were forced to leave Snowville. I never imagined they were still coveting the Boltons, doing everything they could to take us down.

"Sheila failed, so they sent Wisteria to slowly take control of the Boltons' heirs. The way they've been scheming is so frightening!"

If the Carlyns' revenge on the Sanders was premeditated, then this couple is utterly ruthless!

"Dad, do you think the twins are also involved with the organization?"

"Whether they are or not, they've likely been brainwashed and turned into pawns in their plot for revenge against me. Cough, cough."

Jeffrey leaned his hands on the table, and despite his frail form, an intense, chilling aura seemed to fill the room.

"If I had known their true intentions, I wouldn't have shown them mercy and saved them. It only left a lasting threat."

I was just grateful that fate hadn't been entirely blind, at least Sheila never harmed Jeffrey during the years she was with him.

It became clear that, in the past, Jeffrey was the true powerhouse, strong enough to make Commander and his wife wary of him even now, resorting to sneaky tactics behind his back.

"Chloe, don't worry. I will track down those two old thieves and make them apologize to you."

Hearing that, I felt an unexpected sense of relief.

"Do you know where they are?"

"As long as I have a target, even if they hide at the ends of the earth, I'll find them and make them pay for their blood debt! Cough, cough ... "

It was a shame to see a hero in decline.
