Anna was completely stunned by the slap. She stood there, dazed, unable to gather her thoughts for a long time.

It was understandable, really. After all, things had been going well for her. For all these years, I was the one who had been humiliated, the one who got slapped, the one made to feel like a worthless fool

Who could have predicted that I would be the one to reverse the situation, leaving her with no escape?

All those tactics I once despised felt so satisfying when I used them on Anna. No wonder she always relied on them.

Sheila, of course, still cared about her daughter. "Luke, don't just listen to her side of the story. Anna, tell us what really happened.

"Mom, it's her! She cursed my baby, saying that both of us will die on the operating table! That's why I threw the soup at her!" Everyone's gaze instantly turned toward me. Tears streaked my face, revealing the pain in my expression.

"Anna, I know it must be hard for you with everything between you and Luke coming to light, but you two took the initiative to have an affair. If you want to stir up trouble, you had to see it through. I just heard that you hadn't eaten all day and that you have a heart condition. If you don't take care of your health, things might go wrong during the surgery. I was just trying to look out for you. How could you slander

me?"

I quickly turned the situation around, throwing the blame back on her, framing her outburst as one born of shame after being caught in her affair.

Adam furrowed his brow and scolded, "Zoey was just trying to help you, and this is how you treat her? She didn't say anything wrong. You've always had a heart condition, which makes pregnancy risky. Now you're planning to have an abortion, and you haven't even taken care of your health. What if something goes wrong?"

Sheila didn't seem pleased with me, but she couldn't come up with a better response, so she fell silent.

Anna, with tears in her eyes, clutched Luke's hand. "Luke, it's her. She started all of this. She cursed our child."

Anna was now following in my footsteps, became the one who had to desperately explain herself.

But the truth is, people who truly believe in you don't need any explanations. Those who don't believe you won't be convinced no matter what you say.

She was so najve, really. After all the years Luke and I spent together, how did he treat me?

If he could do that to me, wouldn't he do the same to Anna?

I'd long seen through the selfishness of this man, but what I didn't understand was why Anna kept clinging to him. She was so clever, yet she couldn't let go of Luke.

If she hadn't been a hopeless romantic or true love, it had to be something about her marrying into the

Boltons, something secretive she wasn't willing to admit.

Luke jerked his hand away from her, his face twisted in disgust. "Stop calling me. You make me sick!"

He yanked his hand so forcefully that Anna fell to the floor.

Luke didn't even look at her. Instead, he crouched down, inspecting my hand. The burn reddened my fair skin.

"Why are you just standing there? Get the burn cream!" he ordered.

He reached out to touch my wound instinctively, but I quickly pulled my hand away.

Sheila and Adam exchanged a glance, sensing something was off.

They quickly pulled Luke away. "Daisy, take Zoey back to her room and help her with the cream."

I slowly stood up, putting on a look of understanding as I added the final jab. "Anna, I know you're pregnant, and

your emotions must be all over the place. I understand, so I won't hold it against you. But don't go causing trouble at the family banquet in a couple of days."

"What banquet?" Sheila and Anna looked at me in confusion. They clearly hadn't been told about it.

"Oh, Jeffrey didn't mention it? In three days, we're hosting a banquet for all the city's elite to celebrate my marriage to Carter."

Sheila's face twisted with jealousy. She had spent years trying to earn Jeffrey's favor, carefully maneuvering for the position of Mrs. Bolton.

Jeffrey handed it to me the moment I arrived. How could she swallow that?

I intentionally said it in front of Anna. If she didn't stir up trouble at the banquet, she wouldn't be the venomous woman I knew her to be. Given her history with me, she would surely try to make me look bad.

Especially now that I had exposed her affair with Luke and had secured the key to the estate.

If I embarrassed myself at the banquet, Jeffrey would never trust me with the household affairs.

For both personal and business reasons, these two wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

If they didn't act, how could I create a chance to use this to my advantage?

"Sheila, please take good care of Anna these next few days. I'll head back to my room."

Sheila seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

As Daisy helped me leave, Theard Adam's stern voice directed at Luke. "Get to the study now. I have something to say to you!"

I knew exactly what it was about. Luke had shown too much concern for me, and that made them nervous.

After all, if he could mess around with Chloe's sister, lowering their expectations to new lows, what would 111

stop him from falling for me, especially with the resemblance I had to Chloe?

I was Carter's wife, and if that happened, it would be madness.

However, in all honesty, I wanted him to lose his mind!

Only then could he do something irrational and reveal his true, monstrous self to everyone.

But Anna... she was too calculating. I had to be cautious.

When I returned to my room, Daisy came in with burn cream. Carter's voice was icy. "You can go now."

The others in the house, just like before, were scared of Carter and quickly left after dropping off the

cream.

Carter picked up the burn cream, playing with it in his hand. "What happened?"

His eyes, which seemed to see through everything, made me quickly hide my hand behind my back. "It's nothing, really."

"Let me see," he ordered coldly, and I couldn't refuse.

I extended my hand. When he saw the red marks, his face grew colder.

"Was it worth it to burn yourself over a slap?"

I blinked in surprise. How did he know?

Did the servants tell him? Was the house full of his spies?

"I-I didn't expect her to throw it at me like that."

He twisted open the burn cream and squeezed some onto my hand.

"Hiss!" I gasped quietly.

"Now you feel the pain?" His voice carried a hint of reproach.

It was worth it, I thought. Destroying the image Anna had built in their minds wouldn't happen overnight, but tonight's incident would be enough to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts. Anna had treated me the same way before, and now I would return the favor, doubling the pain, making her regret this for the rest of her life.

I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly, Carter's large hand covered mine.

His palm warm against the cool cream. The dual sensations of heat and cold made me wince in pain.

I couldn't help but let out a whimper and whined, "Carter, it hurts."

"Hold on, it'll be over soon," he said, his tone almost gentle.
