Thad heard whispers that Carter harbored feelings for a girl he'd loved for years. How could someone as blind and foolish as me be worthy of him

Even though Carter wielded immense power and wealth, I knew both the Boltons and the Sanders looked down on him.

To them. he was nothing more than an illegitimate child-a crippled one at that..

However, I had never thought of him that way. Despite his cold demeanor, Carter was a responsible and principled man. Observing everything from an omniscient perspective after my death, the difference between the two men became stark A part of me hoped Carter would triumph. Handing the Boltons to a fool like Luke would only ensure the family's downfall. Carter's gaze bore into Anna as he said coldly, "I won't stop investigating this. If I replace out you're involved

Luke. unable to elicit any response from Carter, finally lost his temper and shouted, "What will you do?"

Carter sneered and declared, 'I'll take you down first, then her!" He turned to my parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Sander, I'll take my leave first,"

My dad immediately offered a polite smile. The weather's bad. Please be careful on the way out.

At the door, Carter suddenly paused and turned back.

His sharp gaze seemed to pierce straight through me, making my heart skip a beat.

For a brief moment, I thought he could see me.

But no, he wasn't looking at me-he was looking at the orchid on the windowsill.

"Mr. Sander he said. "I like that orchid. May I have it?"

Though puzzled, my dad handed it to him. Carter's bodyguard took it with a nod of thanks,

"Thank you, Carter said simply before leaving

I watched him go, feeling confused. The orchid wasn't anything rare. It was just something my dad brought over that afternoon because Grandma liked it. He thought it might brighten her mood. I wondered what was so special about that plant.

Dad, Mom. Uncle Carter have always been difficult. Please don't take his words to heart," Luke said as he tried to smooth things over.

My mom huffed in annoyance. "He's not difficult, he's brainless! What does my daughter have to do with him? What gives hum the right to insult her?"

Anna, now visibly calmer after Carter's departure, managed a gentle smile. "Mom, it's fine. Carter has never liked me anyway. Besides, since I'm close to Luke, it's natural for him to hold a grudge.

"But I still don't understand what happened that day. When I went to the kitchen, the pot broke, and soup spilled everywhere. I spent a long time cleaning and preparing new ingredients. Before leaving. I specifically told Lily and the others to stay with Grandma. Why was Grandma alone when the accident happened?"

Mrs. Lambert, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. That slow cooker was of excellent quality. Oddly, it broke just like that. Too much of a coincidence, don't you think?

All eyes turned to Anna, now scrutinizing her closely. Tears welled up in her eyes as she protested, "Mrs. Lambert, do you think I hurt Grandma? I've explained everything multiple times-why won't you believe me! She's my grandmother! Why would I ever hurt her Clutching her chest, she choked out. "If none of you trust me, I might as well just die!"

My mom immediately wrapped her in a comforting embrace, soothing her with kind words, while my dad tried his best to reassure her.

Surprisingly. Luke remained silent and suggested leaving.

Tired of Anna's theatrics, I leaned down and whispered into Grandma's ear, "Grandma, I'm stepping out for a bit. I'll check on you later.

Her gaze followed me, filled with concern, just as it had every time I went out when I was alive.

No matter how old you are, you're always a child in the eyes of an elder. Even now, though I'm dead and untouchable, Grandma still worries about me.

I remembered how, right after I died, I had been consumed by anger, resentment, and bitterness.

Seeing my family fawn over my murderer while ignoring my disappearance had been unbearable.

I hated them and suffered deeply

But now, my heart has grown calmer. At least someone was still worried about me.

I was also being loved by someone.

As this thought crossed my mind, I noticed my body becoming even fainter. My fingers were almost on the verge of turning completely transparent.

Perhaps the only way to be free was to let go of all the negative emotions.

I followed Luke as he hurried to catch up with Carter.

"Uncle Carter, it was you, wasn't it?" he asked as Carter was about to get into his car.

Carter's icy eyes fixed on him. "What are you talking about?"

"You're the one hiding Chloe! Only you have the mean to do something like this. Please, I'm begging you. Give her back to me. I'll treat her well from now on lever hurt her again!"

Carter chuckled mockingly. He pulled out a photograph. "Is this what you call treating her well?"

The picture showed Anna sitting on Luke's lap, the two locked in a passionate kiss.

It was from the night Anna had seduced him"

I had sensed someone taking photos back then but never imagined it was Carter orchestrating it.

Luke turned pale as he saw the photo, "Uncle Carter, letne explain-

Carter threw a stack of photos directly at Luke's face. "Explain? Fine. I'd love to hear it. Your new bride is missing. Instead of searching for her, you're fooling around with her sister in your marital home. You're truly something else. Luke" 1-1 was confused for a moment. I thought she was Chloe, I swear-

Carter cut him off. throwing the rest of the photos onto the ground. "Shut up. Looking at your face disgusts rue. If anything happens to Chloe, I'll make sure you and that b*tch pay with your lives!"

Slamming the car door shut, Carter issued an order to his driver. "Damian, investigate that orchid. See if anything's been tampered with."

Yes. Mr. Bolton. Do you suspect Anna?"

"I think she

I tried to keep listening, but my connection to Luke pulled me back.

Since Carter didn't have any medium connected to me, I couldn't follow him.

As Luke stared at the photos scattered like leaves in the wind, he crouched down on the ground to pick them up one by one.

Each photo was solid evidence of him and Anna being together.
