Carter was only a few years older than Luke, but he exhibited far greater maturity and stability in both character and demeanor.

He had always felt profective of Luke, especially since his sister-in-law saved Luke's life, which made his current stance all the more surprising.

"The Bolton family has coddled him too much, leading to his regression. He lacks responsibility and courage, acting more like a spoiled child than a man!" Carter tapped the armrest of his wheelchair in frustration as he spoke,

He was usually so composed around me, seldom showing such frustration.

I was not scared by his anger; instead, I found his passion rather endearing. It lightened the tension I had been feeling because of Anna, and I let out a chuckle.

"You don't just seem a few years older than him; you come off more like his father."

"Chloe, I'm sorry. He's hurt you, and I can't undo that."

Carter's eyes were filled with remorse.

"Then let him try to make it right."

"Indeed, he owes you that much."

We decided to set aside the compromised brooch. After all, I have plenty of jewelry, and its eavesdropping capabilities are limited; locked in a safe, it could not pick up anything from the outside. When I might use it again would be a matter of chance

Anna probably hoped to catch some useful tidbits from me on the way home, unaware that I had begun my performance the moment I stepped into the car.

She only heard what I allowed her to hear.

With three days until the New Year, Anna showed no signs of easing off.

She must be intimidated by me, seizing the chance to counterattack.

She had been watching me secretly all this time.

Now, I wondered how she would react to the 'wedding gift' I had prepared for her.

The next morning, I woke up unusually early.

The night had been restless, filled with repeated dreams about the killer.

Outside, the snow had stopped, and the servants were busy clearing it from the main roads.

When I woke, Carter was no longer beside me, stirring a worrying thought-could he be involved as well?

I quickly called him. "Where are you, Carter?"

"It's still early, and you didn't sleep well last night. Try to get some more rest."

"But I'm worried about you, did you go there too?"

He gave a slight smile. "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

"But..."

Try to relax. We're almost there. If you can't sleep, why not get up and have some breakfast? Remember to drink some milk. I have to hang up now."

His calm reassurances made me uneasy; he was definitely keeping something from me.

I got out of bed, the cold floor against my bare feet, and was tempted to go replace him immediately.

However, paused, thinking-would my presence disrupt his plans?

What should I do? What should I do?

First, I needed to freshen up and get dressed. Fortunately, Damian was not at home either, which somewhat eased my worries.

When I came downstairs, Sheila was having breakfast with Jeffrey, and Adam had already left for work.

Since Luke had handed over most of his projects to him, Adam had been swamped.

Sheila, meanwhile, had spent the last ten years trying to curry favor with Jeffrey, hoping he would finally recognize her efforts.

Having had my own run-ins with Anna, I remained cautious around Sheila.

"Zoey, come and have a meal," Jeffrey invited me kindly

I managed a smile and looked at the breakfast spread before me, but my appetite was gone.

I wondered how Luke and Carter were doing.

All I could do was wait; I felt so powerless.

I picked at my food, my mind restless, and decided to occupy myself by trimming branches in the greenhouse.

As I was lost in thought, the butler rushed in, his face etched with worry. "Madam, bad news!"

I was cutting roses, and a thorn pricked my hand, but the sudden news made me forget the pain. "What happened?"

The butler's voice was tense. "I just received a call. Mr. Carter and Mr. Luke were in a car accident!"

Boom!

My mind went blank.

Blood dripped from my finger onto the rose branches,

A car accident?
