Chapter 149 Carter's Fierce Protection of His Wife. Chapter 149 Carter's Fierce Protection of His Wife

The aura radiating from Carter was so intense that it seemed to suffocate the room Josh, sensing the growing tension, tried to defuse the situation with a calm tone. "Carter, there's no need for all this. We were just asking Ms. Gardner some questions. It didn't harm her in any way, so why make this such a big issue?"

Carter's response was sharp and unwavering. "If it's not harmful, then surely groveling won't be a problem, right?" His voice was firm, filled with authority,

"I don't care what kind of relationship you had in the past. Now that I'm with the Boltons, my wife's reputation is my family's reputation. It's not something you can just trample on!" Carter's words turned the situation into one of family honor, causing Jeffrey, who had been about to speak, to fall silent.

"You've allowed Anna to behave however she pleased at the Boltons, Carter continued, his voice cold and relentless. Last time, I ignored her behavior, but this time, I won't tolerate it. What she intended to do to my wife is unforgivable. Your daughter's actions are your responsibility as her negligent parents."

Josh bristled, his face tightening with anger. "Carter, we admit our fault in this, but how did you know about the secret between my daughter and Ashley?"

Carter's reply was calm, yet carried an icy edge. "Why? Because your daughter is cunning and malicious I've seen the way she's treated my wife, which is why I prepared myself. If I hadn't taken precautions, Zoey would have found herself in trouble tonight." His reasoning was solid, and the Sanders, knowing they were in the wrong, could only stay silent.

With the situation firmly under control, Carter demanded that they grovel. I had only hinted at it, and while my past life had faded, I still couldn't help but feel some remnants of the bond between father and daughter.

I didn't want them to grovel at my feet, thinking it was inappropriate.

But Carter, with the full power of the Boltons behind him, wasn't about to let it go.

Even the Sanders' patriarch, who had been called upon for support, was silent. He too understood that they had crossed the line this time.

One by one, they got down before me, their faces twisted with anger, likely seething with hatred.

But what did that matter?

If it weren't for their actions in my past life, I wouldn't have ended up on this bitter path.

Just as they groveled, a thunderous sound echoed through the room, shaking everyone to their core.

The entire room froze in fear, their faces drained of color.

Carter's grip on my shoulder tightened, and his voice, colder than the Arctic, cut through the silence. Don't be afraid. This is exactly what they owe you."
