Just as I thought I had escaped the complications of a romantic entanglement, believing I had seen the full picture, I thought I could take advantage of my rebirth to crush Anna.

At this moment, I realized just how naive that thought had been.

Even the plan I've carefully considered now is just the of the iceberg. The truth lurked deep beneath the surface, like a massive, dark creature in the deep ocean, its cold, unblinking eyes watching all who come near.

Her target has never been just me, or perhaps not even me at all.

Killing me was merely incidental. Behind her, it was as a web of intricate schemes stretched across the world.

The realization hit me like a cold chill.

Such a terrifying person. Such a meticulous plan.

If it weren't for my rebirth, I would have died without knowing the true nature of her actions, all the while thinking she was simply acting out of a rash, emotional decision to hire someone to kill

"Are you hungry?" Carter seemed to sense my thoughts and he reached out to take my hand.

The warmth from his palm slowly eased the chill in my fingertips. "Do you want to get something to eat?" "It's fine." I replied, my attention fully focused on Jeffrey. I needed to know what choice he would make. In my urgency, I didn't even let go of Carter's hand. He looked at me deeply but didn't pull his hand away, allowing me to hold it tightly.

Everyone fell silent, holding their breath, waiting for Jeffrey's answer.

Should Anna keep the child or not?

If she didn't, as the doctor had warned, if his sperm count declined, even if someone were willing to marry him in the future, it would affect their child.

Similar to cancer, treatment can only cure acute cases of kidney failure. Chronic cases, however, cannot be cured, only managed.

This, after all, concerns the heirs of the Boltons.

Jeffrey thought for a long time before speaking. This matter is too important. Go, bring the Sanders over."

""Understood."

Soon after, the Sanders hurried over, and Anna was summoned as well.

When Kate saw the handprint and swelling on Anna's face, she immediately noticed that Luke's slap last night had been quite forceful.

However, Boltons had ointments that could promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. In just one night, the swelling would have gone down, but the mark on her face was still very obvious.

Look at her! Even her makeup was of the highest quality, this woman was truly adept at staging a spectacle.

A truly ruthless person was someone who could harm emselves. She had deliberately waited all night without applying any medicine.

Now, when she appeared, she looked sickly, with a wounded face, presenting herself as a pitiful sight.

Instantly, the Sanders seemed to forget all the foolish things she had done.

It was as if everything she did was forgivable.

Kate was the first to rush over, helping her up. "Anna, what happened to your face?"

Anna's eyes fell on my face, but the words that came out of her mouth were as insidious as ever. "It wasn't Zoey's fault, it was...

She was about to try the same trick again, but I had already suffered from it too many times. Before she could finish, I interrupted her act.

"Mrs. Sander, this is all my fault. I only meant to bring Anna some chicken soup since she hadn't eaten all day. I didn't realize she was in a bad mood, so when I tried to offer it to her, she knocked the soup over and. burned my hand."

Daisy quickly added, "Yes, Mrs. Zoey kindly brought the soup to Ms. Anna, but she poured the boiling soup all over Mrs. Zoey! Mrs. Zoey's hand almost got burned badly. It was such a shame."

Neither Anna nor Kate expected me to pull this trick. Kate was about to scold me, but she had the words. stuck in her throat. After Daisy held her off for a moment, she swallowed the reprimand.

From defending Anna, she switched to scolding her, "What's wrong with you? Someone's trying to help you, and you spill soup on them! Mrs. Zoey, I'm so sorry. Our family just got our daughter back, and we've spoiled her too much. Please forgive us." Anna didn't expect us to pull off this collaboration. We completely ruined her usual tricks.

If it weren't for this moment, why would I have brough Daisy, with her loud voice and warm heart, to witness this?

Though I couldn't guess Anna's true intentions, I was still familiar with her tactics.

Anna was compelled to suffer it silently. She didn't get the result she wanted and had no choice but to swallow her anger, pretending to apologize. "Zoey, last night's incident was my fault. You're the bigger person, please don't hold it against me." Anna, you're too polite. We are family, after all. Even if my hand had been burned, I wouldn't hold it against her, because I knew it was an accident.

I deliberately showed the back of my hand.

Didn't expect that, did you? I know how to play

Last night, in front of Carter, I couldn't go against his wishes. So, I washed off the ointment, even rubbing the wound to make it look worse.

Now my hand was visibly swollen and red, and one part was indeed burnt.

Jeffrey saw it and immediately turned cold. His glare at Anna was full of fury. "You really can't learn your lesson, can you?"

If it weren't for the Sanders being present, I felt Jeffrey would have leapt at her.

In recent years, Jeffrey had been in poor health, often resting at the rehabilitation center.

Adam, who always listened to Sheila, had let Anna scheme against me many times.

He clearly knew I was wronged, but as the head of the family, he didn't prevent it from happening the first time. Instead, he would always let it slide, leading to more problems down the road.

I was full of grievances. Anna had only been scolded lightly, without any real consequences. Next time. she'd do it again.

Adamy turned a blind eye to this, and the Sanders indulgence had led us to this situation.

Although Jeffrey didn't see it firsthand, he had heard from Hugo about some of the events. If he had been there, I'm sure he wouldn't have let me suffer like that.

His words were meant to speak up for the past me.

Anna immediately controlled her expression, not daring to act up in front of Jeffrey. "Jeffrey, don't be angry. I'm fine now, it just hurt a bit back then, but it's better now."

Jeffrey took my hand and barely touched the wound, and I winced in pain. "Ouch!"

His face was filled with concern, and he said. "You're so much like that girl. Now you're Mrs. Bolton, the Lady of the house. You have to show some authority. Don't be too soft or submissive, or you'll be the one who suffers. Understand?" Hearing this, my heart warmed. "Yes, I understand. Don't be angry. Sit down and rest

I helped Jeffrey sit down, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone.

"I called you all here today because there's an important matter to discuss regarding these two troublemakers."

Jeffrey looked at Luke and asked, "You're the one who caused all this. What do you think we should do about it?"

All eyes were on Lake. Until now, he had been certain that he didn't want the child.

But now that he knew the truth about his condition, could he still stand by that decision?

"Luke" Anna's voice trembled with anxiety, her gaze fixed on him

After a long pause, Luke spoke slowly, "I want to keep the child."

As expected, nothing mattered more to him than his own interests.

Anna had already set the stage, and she wasn't about to let anyone disrupt her plans.

"But I won't marry her. This was the one thing Luke refused to budge on. It was clear that Jeffrey probably had the same plan inmind, he was just using Luke to say it out loud.

Anna looked at Luke with grievances and said, "Luke, I've given you everything. If you won't marry me. what am I supposed to do?"

"What are you supposed to do? Luke's voice was sharp. Didn't you offer yourself to me willingly? You said I wouldn't affect my relationship with Chloe. But now you're contradicting yourself. How could you get pregnant after taking medicine?" Luke exploded with anger, leaving no room for Anna to defend herself.

"Chloe always warned me about you, how you speak with a forked tongue. She was right-I should have listened to her. You deceived me, Anna. I've told you before, I don't love you. This child, I accept as part of the Boltons, but you-don't even think about marrying into the Boltons."

No matter how carefully planned a scheme is, when it involves human nature, things are bound to go

Wrong

Anna had been too impatient. If I hadn't set an example and married Carter so quickly, and if Jeffrey hadn't trusted me so much, she might have followed the original plan step by step. But now, she had stirred Luke's disdain. Unfortunately, you cannot draw back an arrow once you release it.

Kate defended her daughter and spoke up. "Luke, that's not how it happened. Chloe is gone now. The relationship between our families has always been good. Everyone has seen the connection between you and Anna over the years. If it weren't for your bond with Chloe, I don't think

I looked at the woman I had called my mother in my past life. Only days ago, I thought she had grieved my death.

But now, she turned my relationship with Luke into a matter of responsibility to defend Anna.

I couldn't help but wonder-when she learns it was Anna who killed me, would she still try to defend her?

"Mrs. Sander, are you implying that Chloe and Anna were just siblings, and Luke married her out of duty?"

Having already crossed that line, Kate wasn't going to back down.

"Yes, over the years, we've seen that Chloe was the one wh

"Haha... 1 laughed, though I really wanted to cry.

I had died, yet they still refined to leave me in peace.

"What's so funny? Why are you laughing?" Kate was furious.

clung to Luke, and it was because of that

"I'm just pitying your eldest daughter. She devoted her whole life to Luke, but what did she get in the end? Her husband abandoned her at the wedding, and on their wedding night, he slept with her sister. And her family still tries to claim it was sibling love. How laughable. If it was truly sibling love, why didn't you let go of her sooner?"

Luke spoke up, "It wasn't sibling love. From the beginning to the end, I only loved Chloe was just an

Anna

attempt at something new, it wasn't love."

He looked at Kate, each word sharp as a knife, "I'll keep the child, but you can take her back."

Josh turned to Jeffrey and asked, "Jeffrey, what should we do about this? My daughter is still a virgin, yet

your grandson took her innocence. And with her heart condition, she risks everything to have this child."

Jeffrey interrupted calmly, "Matters of the heart are about mutual consent. It's clear that your daughter has been willing from the start. It wasn't my grandson who forced her. If he had, we would have had a different discussion. And since your daughter is carrying Luke's child, I won't let you suffer. Here's a check for ten million for her food and care. I'll also transfer a villa to her as compensation."

To the Boltons, this was nothing more than giving scraps to beggars.

Adam frowned. He opposed Jeffrey for the first time. "We don't need your money or property, Jeffrey. We may not be as powerful as the Boltons, but we won't let anyone bully my daughter."

"How about the Westfolk project collaboration rights?" Jeffrey threw out a contract worth billions, silencing Josh.

He stared at Josh with dark, steady eyes, his voice firm and commanding, 'Mr. Sander, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man, who had just been furious, immediately backed down. "Since the Boltons have made their stance clear, I won't object, as long as it doesn't affect our families."

So, whether it was me or Anna, to this man, we were all just pawns in a game of profit.

No one displayed their mock on their face, but everyone in the room likely looked down on Josh's actions.

In his eyes, his daughter was just a tool.

Then it's settled. The money, the property, and the cooperation rights are yours. All I want is the child in her belly"

"Yes, we'll take good care of Anna," Josh said, his obsequious attitude nauseating-

Of course, they would take care of her. A multi-billion-dollar project was at stake.

"But we'll need to sign two agreements. The first is that Anna will sever all ties with the Boltons from now
