Zoey ignored his gaze completely and stepped into our car.

Carter, sitting in his wheelchair by the door, reminded her, "This isn't exactly the right time or place."

Harlan heeded his advice and showed a bit more restraint than usual, saying, "Don't forget our agreement."

He reached out to support her, but Zoey, with her high heels on, refused to let him touch her.

Just before the door closed, we heard Harlan's low grow. "Who told you to dress like that?"

Carter extended his hand and gently helped me into the car, his touch both gentlemanly and tender,

I felt a little concerned. "Do you think Zoey is alright?"

"Don't worry," Carter reassured me. "Harlan just talks a lot. He won't hurt her. Besides, he's already starting to change."

I noticed Carter wasn't wearing his usual dark suit. Instead, he wore one the same color as my dress, and even his bow tie was a soft ivory shade.

"Carter, you look really handsome," I said, giving him an honest compliment.

His ears immediately turned red, and it was so cute I almost wanted to kiss him.

Carter's eyes then fell on my bare neck. "Where's the stone?"

I tapped my handbag and said, "An old woman from the village recognized it earlier. I was worried. someone might catch on and connect it to the secret of my rebirth. Don't worry, though; I keep it in my bag with me." "Good. Just don't lose it," he said.

"I'll put it back on after the party. It won't get lost."

The party tonight was to celebrate the family head, Bailey White's, 80th birthday. When we arrived, I realized that not everyone there was a stranger to me.

For example, there was Ashley, who always looked so polished. As soon as Carter and I parted ways, he immediately came over to ask me for a loan.

It made sense. He knew that Bill had handed me control of the subsidiary, and with Bill's divorce scandal still fresh in the news, Ashley must have known I had the funds. I was clearly the perfect target. Zoey, you look beautiful tonight."

I pointed behind him. "Carter, is that you?"

His face immediately turned pale, and he reflexively tried to run. But when he turned around, no one was there. Zoey, you're tricking me."

"No, I was just playing a game with a dog," I said, turning to walk away.

"Wait, sis

Zoey let go of Harlan's hand and ran toward me, almost colliding with Ashley

The moment she saw Ashley, she froze. Her heels were too high, and without warning fell

ng, she stumbled and

""Watch it!"

Ashley instinctively reached out to catch her, but Harlan was faster. He pulled Zoey into his arms, lowering his voice. "Why are you running

Ashley stood staring at the red mole on Zoey's forehead identical to the one on mine. "You"

Although Zoey no longer had feelings for him, they had been involved in a past life.

She instinctively tightened her grip on Harlan's sleeve

Zoey was still too young, her emotions all too visible, and Harlan noticed right away that something was

off.

"Mr. Pearson, who is this?" Ashley finally snapped back to reality and greeted him

Harlan coldly replied, "My wife."

"Oh, so you're Mrs. Pearson. Mr. Pearson, you're very lucky. Your wife is very beautiful"

It was common to exchange a few pleasantries at events like this. But Harlan snorted dismissively. "Of course she's pretty; is it really necessary for you to point that out?" Ashley's smile faltered, but he was desperate for money and needed connections. He still managed a smile and greeted Zoey.

"Hello, Mrs. Pearson. I'm Ashley Hudson."

Zoey's hand, gripping Harlan's cuff, tightened slowly, even causing him physical pain.

"And what does it have to do with me?" she asked coldly

She linked her arm with Harlan's and walked away. Harlan quickly noticed that her eyes were slightly red. and her body trembled slightly.

Something wasn't right between the two of them.

After meeting Ashley, Zoey's mood clearly dropped.

She didn't let go of Harlan's arm, even as people gathered around them, intrigued by the unfamiliar woman standing with him.

Harlan patiently introduced her as his wife, but Zoey was lost in thought.

Since Zoey wouldn't be able to talk to me anytime soon, I decided to replace Carter.

They seemed deep in conversation, so I quietly,

stepped away, figuring it would be over soon.

The banquet hall was huge, and being new to the event, I wandered around a bit.

I ran into Fiona and others, greeting them in passing.

They had all gone back to their country, but Alisa had stayed in Snowville. It seemed she truly loved Luke.

"Are you looking for Mr. Bolton? I saw him head that way just now," Fiona said.

"Thank you," I replied.

Now that I was the daughter Bill valued after everything with Sadie, Fiona was treating me much more warmly.

It was clear-power was the real key to social connections.

I headed in the direction she indicated; passing the buffet table, where I picked up a cake.

Zoey had kept me busy, and I hadn't had time to eat earlier.

Just as I took a bite, I thought about Carter. He probably hadn't finished his meal either. Should I bring him a piece?

I picked a flavor I knew he liked, and as I turned around. I ran into an unexpected guest.

"Zoey, what a coincidence! I didn't expect

to run into you here."

When I saw him, I instinctively stepped back.

Out of nowhere, Yael had appeared at Jaford.
