I had a feeling this situation would spiral out of control but I never expected it to go quite like this. My instincts told me it would end in a complete mess, but Carter, always one step ahead, had orchestrated everything in a way that left everyone shocked and helpless.

He had taken the Sanders to the very edge of ruin, and now I understood why, despite his disability and reliance on a wheelchair, people still feared him.

in

The stories of his cutthroat methods less were exaggerated, and witnessing it firsthand made me feel the weight of his influence.

This man wasn't just clever; he was ruthless, dangerous, and utterly formidable.

I was grateful he was on my side. If he were my enemy, not even a hundred lifetimes would be enough to match his power.

The first to speak up was someone from the Sanders. "This is insane! It's not like they're in love! Carter, are you trying to force a marriage where there's nothing?"

Sadie, though clearly angry about being betrayed, couldn't hide her frustration. Their relationship hadn't been entirely based on lust; there had been feelings there-real feelings.

"Everyone knows he's my fiancé! And now you want him to marry someone else? How do you expect me to maintain any dignity for the Gardners in front of everyone?"

She knew she couldn't win this argument with logic, so she tried to shift the focus to the Gardners, hoping it would gain her some ground. Bill, standing beside her, had a troubled look on his face, clearly trying to figure out the best way to salvage their family's reputation. Carter's response was cold and biting. "He was just openly involved with Anna in front of everyone, and now you're talking about saving the Gardners dignity? There's nothing left of that."

Sadie's mind finally caught up to what he was implying and she remembered the moment she'd caught Ashley in the act of cheating-

I decided to add my own thoughts. "Sadie, let's forget about whether Ashley should marry Anna. The moment he cheated on you, you lost any credibility. Do you really think you can just pick up where you left off? I never realized how magnanimous you are. I used to think you were fighting for him, but now I see you're just recycling old trash. You're such a kind-hearted soul."

"How dare you... "Sadie glared at me, clearly wanting to unleash her fury. But with Damian right there, she had no choice but to hold her tongue. The slap from earlier still stung, so she bit back her anger.

Although she wasn't pleased with my words, she knew they were true.

Bill's face darkened. "Your sister's right. Our dignity's already been destroyed by him. You can still replace another man; you and he are finished."

Ashley, now realizing how expendable he was, scrambled to speak. "Mr. Gardner, don't abandon me! I didn't mean for any of this to happen!" Reaching out, his bloodied hands gripped Bill's pants, but the sight of the bloodstain only made Bill more

furious. Without hesitation, he kicked him away.

"Get out of here! I should've seen this coming. If you could betray Zoey, you'd betray Sadie and the Gardners too. We don't need a son-in-law like you. Thiends here!"

Ashley was stunned by how quickly everything had turned against him. He had been manipulated, and now the consequences were crushing him.

At that moment, Ashley's uncle, Dale Hudson, arrived.

The Hudsons, like the Gardners, had most.of their family abroad, with only Dale's branch living in the Country.

When he arrived, he saw Ashley lying there, covered in blood, and rushed over in shock, as if he were seeing his own family in trouble.

"Uncle Dale! You have to help me!"

Dale's wife, Melissa Hudson, cried out, "What happened? How did my poor nephew end up like this at a simple party?"

Dale's eyes scanned the room, eventually landing on Jeffrey.

"Mr. Jeffrey, my nephew was fine when he got here. What happened? The Boltons owe me an explanation. Even if Ashley's father isn't here, I can't let the Hudsons be humiliated!"

Carter cut in sharply. "He was fine, planning to assault someone else's wife, wasn't he?"

Dale froze, then his gaze shifted to me. His tone changed, now tinged with disbelief. "Ashley, what have you done?"

Ashley kept his head lowered, too ashamed to respond.

What could he possibly say?

Damian, pushing his wheelchair forward, explained the situation in detail. As he spoke, Dale's anger reached a boiling point.

He had come expecting to support his family, only to be humiliated in front of everyone. The shame was unbearable.

"How could you do such a thing? I'll make sure you explain this to your father!"

Dale muttered angrily, then turned to Carter, his tone now more conciliatory. "Mr. Carter, we clearly made a mistake. You've punished him, and I think we can call it even. When his father returns, he'll apologize in person." Carter raised his hand to stop him. 'I don't believe in leting things slide. I settle scores immediately. The only way to make this right is for Ashley to marry Ann

"I-I don't think I can make the call. Maybe we should wait for Ashley's father to return and discuss this further?"

2/3 Dale bowed his head, then paused, as if recalling something. "By the way, wasn't Alisa supposed to be here? 08:22 Tue, Dec

Why isn't she stopping this?"

Everyone looked around, trying to spot Alisa in the crowd.

Sadie seemed to remember something. "Wait, I think I saw Alisa talking to Mr. Luke earlier.

Everyone suddenly realized something. Amid the chaos of the night, Luke and Alisa were nowhere to be found.

If Luke had been upset and gone back to his room, that made sense. But where was Alisa?

She was just a guest. Why wasn't she there when her brother was in trouble?

The room buzzed with suspicion. Just then, Daisy burstin, looking frantic. Tve got bad news!"

I turned to her, saying, "Hey, calm down. There are so many people around. Tell me what's wrong" Daisy, looking young and innocent, declared, "I-I just heard a woman screaming in Mr. Luke's room. It sounded like she was calling for help. The noise was so loud that I was afraid something terrible had happened."

All attention immediately shifted.

Damian kicked the door open, and what they saw inside stunned everyone.

Kate, who had a weak heart, nearly collapsed at the sight.

Josh grabbed her by the shoulders, trying to keep her steady. "Get a grip!"

Kate, overwhelmed, could only think one thing: It was over.

Anna would never marry into the Boltons now.

Adam had been watching, thinking everything would fall in his favor, but in the end, it had all come crashing downL

He had always known his son would cause trouble, but he hadn't anticipated Luke's scandalous behavior.

Adam let out a loud, frustrated yell. "What the hell is going on here?"

The room was in complete disarray-clothes, skirts, and belts scattered everywhere.

The two were still tangled up in the bed.
