The tension in the air was so thick it felt like I could jus kick back with some snacks and enjoy the chaos unfolding. It was like a show that you couldn't take your eyes off, a true spectacle!

I couldn't help but think how incredible it would have been if Zoey were here to see this. What a performance!

Just as things were about to spiral from shouting to a full-on brawl, Jeffrey cut in sharply, "Alright, enough! Have you all lost your minds? Together, you're over 100 years old, and yet you're acting like a bunch of drunk housewives, yelling like there's no tomorrow. Have some dignity!"

Finally, Adam, who had been faking illness, made his appearance-though he'd missed the most intense part of the drama. He must have been frustrated by that.

Jeffrey's sudden intervention did manage to cool things down for a moment, with both sides reluctantly taking a step back.

Bill's voice was as cold as ice when he spoke. "Fine. Show us what you've got. Let's see who's been playing

and dirty. If your daughter did it willingly, you'll strip off, run three laps around the Boltons' property, shour that you're a fool.

"Fine. If it turns out your daughter's behind this, you'll do exactly that too."

What had started as a dispute between Anna and me had quickly escalated into a full-blown feud between the Sanders and the Boltons

Ethan and the others still hoped to cool things off, but when men got heated, it didn't matter how old they were-whether five or fifty, the intensity was the same.

For the onlookers, it didn't really matter who won or lost; someone would end up looking bad, and they were all too happy to watch it play out.

Adam didn't expect such a dramatic turn of events. He just stood there quietly, watching, relieved that, for once, his son wasn't involved. But where was Luke?

Adam glanced around but didn't spot him. Given how moody Luke had been lately, he probably just went. to his room to avoid the scene. Adam didn't think too much of it. Once things had calmed down a bit, Carter stepped forward, his voice steady, "Alright, enough shouting. It's time to present the evidence."

I blinked, my curiosity piqued. What had he been doing behind my back?,

He had evidence?

Everyone's eyes immediately locked onto

him. "What evidence?"

"Don't worry. We'll go through it step by step."

Carter gave a quick nod to Damian, who proceeded to play a recording.

This was something I hadn't even known about!

The voice on the tape was unmistakably Anna's. "Are you really willing to let Zoey end up with someone. else? What a waste of her beauty.

"What are you afraid of? Carter's just a cripple. If you take his woman, you'll be doing him a favor.

"If she won't agree, no problem. Just drug her, and she do whatever you want. Women are like that. Get a video of it, and she'll be at your mercy whenever you please."

I was stunned. 1 had suspected Anna might use Ashley to target me, but I didn't expect Carter to have evidence like this,

Why was he so fixated on Anna?

I remembered that even after my death, Carter had kept searching for me. He'd even told Luke that he suspected Anna, though at the time, he had no proof.

So, Carter had been investigating all this time, even after I was gone!

But why? I was already buried. Why hadn't he let it go?

The room was silent as everyone processed the weight of the evidence Carter had laid out. But for me, my emotions were tangled as I looked at the man I had called "Uncle Carter" for years.

We were married now, but I still didn't fully understand what kind of man he really was.

It was his persistence that had uncovered Anna's betrayal.

Kate was speechless, and Josh stood frozen. The Sanders shifted uncomfortably, clearly unsettled.

Anna had turned their entire world upside down. The sweet, innocent daughter they thought they knew was behind all of this deceit

Bill couldn't hold back any longer. "Is this the pure, innocent daughter you've been bragging about? My daughter has no issues with her, and she just married into the Boltons. The very first thing she does is try to get other men to drug her? She's no better than an animal!"

The Sanders knew they were wrong, but they weren't about to admit it so easily.

"This is just an audio clip. Who's to say it wasn't edited or altered? This doesn't prove anything!" They were still in denial.

Carter stayed calm. "Mrs. Sander, don't keep denying it. You'll only make it worse for yourself."

Then Damian played another clip-this one showed Anna secretly handing Ashley a drug.

Anna's voice was barely audible but clear enough. "This drug is strong. A sip, and she'll be turned on. She'll even crawl into your bed herself.

Ashley asked, "What if she drinks more?"

Then she won't even remember who she is. You can do whatever you want to her then

The Sanders' faces drained of color as the pieces began to fall into place. The scene where Anna hart been grabbing Ashley earlier now made sense-she was completely out of control.

And this was the same drug Anna had planned to use of me!

The sound of a slap broke the tension.

Everyone froze. It was my mom, Philippa. She had slapped Kate, Normally so gentle, she now stood flushed and trembling, her anger burning through her

"The Sanders raised such a wicked daughter! What did my daughter ever do to her? Why is she plotting against mine?"

Philippa, who had always been kind and soft-spoken, was now sharp and fierce, glaring at Kate.

Never underestimate a mother's determination to protect her child-even a rabbit will bite if you put it in a difficult situation.

Kate, who had been comforted by Philippa only moments before, was left speechless. She could do nothing but stand there, her lips pressed tight.

I walked up to Philippa and wrapped my arms around Her from behind.

"Mom, don't worry about it. I'm fine. Don't let her upset you."

Philippa turned, her face streaked with tears. "Silly child, why does your life have to be so difficult? It's all

fault. I should have protected you better."

my

Her tears seemed to awaken something in Bill's conscience. He had planned to mock the Sanders, but now, he couldn't bring himself to do it

Gently, he pulled Philippa into his arms. "Alright, stop crying. We're adults here-let's not let anyone see us like this. We're still standing, and no one can hurt Zocy" Philippa's anger flared again, and she pounded her fists against his chest.

"It's all

your fault! You forced Zoey into the Boltons. She was still so young, and you couldn't wai

Bill wrapped his arm around her waist and gently led her outside, clearly worried that the Sanders might seize the opportunity to make fun of him.

Meanwhile, Damian played the final clip-a video showing Ashley secretly slipping drugs into a wine glass before handing it to me. I watched myself take a sip. Kate pointed at me, her voice shrill. "Why aren't you affected?"

"From the moment I left the Boltons' house, Ashley had been trying to seduce me with his words. Do you think I'm stupid enough to drink that wine? I spit it out the moment I took it."

I held Carter's hand, my voice firm. "Since I married into the Boltons, I would never betray my husband. Anna, on the other hand, is inconsistent, erratic, and promiscuous." "Then who gave Anna the drugs?"
