If this had happened before , I never would have dared to even think about it .

It turned out that Carter wasnt cold or indifferent at all , he was actually quite gentle .

Thank you , I said , pulling my hand back , ready to leave , Wait , he called out .

I looked at him , confused .

What is it ? Anna isnt simple .

It may seem like youve won this time , but have you ever thought that it was all part of her plan ? Carter locked eyes with me .

Each word he spoke felt like a blow to my head .

I stared at him , disbelief written all over my face .

W what are you saying ? If you were having an affair , would you choose such an obvious way to do it ? His words hit me hard , and for a moment , I stood there stunned .

Slowly , my thoughts started to clear .

From the moment we were in the car , Anna had deliberately been trying to tempt Luke .

Though I knew it as a spirit , Zoey had no idea about their affair .

She did it on purpose to show me ! I realized suddenly Carter had known about their relationship for a long time .

He had chosen to protect the Boltons reputation and not expose the truth , but it was different for me .

I was just a girl , younger than her , with little experience in such matters .

From the moment you entered the Boltons , you made your animosity toward her clear .

If you had seen their affair , what would you have done ? Carter said , carefully breaking it down for me .

You came in and immediately drew Jeffreys attention .

You sensed the tension between us .

Wouldnt you expose the affair to secure your position ? I … You would ! he insisted .

Yes , I would have , but it wasnt about securing my position ; it was about revenge .

In Carters analysis , he wasnt wrong .

Even if it wasnt for personal gain , you despise evil .

When you learned Chloe had just passed away and her husband was cheating with his sister in law , you would ye exposed the truth , no matter the reason .

You would have fulfilled Annas wish , as she was eagerly awaiting your action .

A chill ran down my spine .

Although I had felt something was too easy , my desire for revenge had made overlook it .

me 1/3 < 08:51 Mon , Chapter 129 I Became Annas Pawn With Annas cautious nature , how could she have made such a foolish mistake ? I had thought she was just caught up in love , but I had unknowingly walked right into her trap .

+10 Free Coins Shes waiting for me to expose them during the dinner when everyone from both families is present , to reveal her affair with Luke .

Now you get it ? Carter said , his eyes cold .

I suddenly realized how much I had underestimated Anna .

She wants to use me as a stepping stone , with the child as bait to force a marriage ! This was Annas true goal , and I was just a pawn in her game .

But the one unexpected element was Jeffrey .

She hadnt anticipated how determined he would be , demanding she terminate the baby when she was already pregnant , giving her no chance at all .

Carter nodded and said , Well , theres still hope for you .

Anna is extremely calculating , and you have to be cautious when dealing with her .

The only reason you havent lost is not because shes stupid , but because luck has been on your side .

My father didnt give her a chance , but he also made you Mrs.

Bolton , turning her plot into a failure .

I understand now .

Jeffrey saw through it all along .

He was worried that everyone would tear each other apart over the title , so he gave me that set of jewelry in front of everyone .

It wasnt just to stop the conflict -quiet Anna and Sheila down .

Jeffrey truly was sharp .

He figured it out in one glance .

Carter fixed his gaze on me and asked , Do you think those two would stop ? No.

Theyll definitely stir up trouble at the banquet .

Zoey , tell me , just how far are you willing to go ? His intense gaze felt like it pierced through me .

I couldnt see through him at all .

I dont know .

I just feel that Chloes death was too tragic .

Maybe its because we look so alike , but I feel a deep connection to her .

I want to uncover the truth of her death .

On the day of the wedding , her fiancé was with her sister .

I suspect Anna may be the killer .

She has the motive ! Do you have evidence ? I dont .

Although I had seen some things while following Luke , Anna hadnt directly participated in my murder .

She had cleaned her hands of it entirely .

But I have a lead .

I had planned to investigate it on my own , I had underestimated Carter .

In the short time wed spent together , he had already figured me out If he were my enemy , I would be terrified .

What lead ? he asked .

2/3 08:51 Mon , Dec 9 Chapter 129 I Became Annas Pawn +10 Free Coins I squatted beside Carters wheelchair , looking him in the eye .

Mr.

Bolton , I want to find out the truth .

What about you ? Are you with me or against me ? This was my attempt to try to make him choose a side .

If he wanted to protect the family reputation , then even if the truth came out , he would never expose it .

What would my rebirth mean then? I stand with justice .

Whoever the killer is , they should face the law , he said , his voice firm .

I felt a little reassured .

You might think this is a bit far fetched , but when I passed out , I heard Ms.

Sanders voice .

She told me a clue .

She said the person who killed her had been seen at an auto repair shop .

This was the only clue Esmee left me before she disappeared .

If I ever met that person , even if it was just their eyes , I would never mistake them ! An auto repair shop Carter looked puzzled .

Yes , Mr.

Bolton .

Can you help me investigate all the auto repair shops and get the photos of their employees and owners ? Carter looked at me .

For a moment , I thought he would dismiss it as nonsense .

But quickly , he agreed Alright .

Thank you .

From now on , stay away from Anna , he cautioned me .

I understood .

After all , he was the one who most suspected Anna .

Hed put in a lot of effort but had found no flaws in her .

This woman was too clever .

He didnt want me getting hurt by her schemes .

But my battle with Anna had long been destined to be a fight to the death .

This was a lesson for me .

I would never underestimate her again .

There was a knock on the door .

Damian entered with a test report in his hand .

He said , Sir , here are Lukes biopsy results .

Right , he had just undergone a gastroscopy and biopsy .

I was curious to know the results .

What is it ? Since Carter wasnt trying to hide anything from me , he spoke directly .

Stomach cancer , stage two , and kidney failure .
