Chapter 307 No Accident 

If she truly believed in true love and wasn’t alter the Boron fortune, the marriage license wouldn’t matter

But now, I wondered if the real reason she didn’t act sooner was because of her failure to marry 

Even after Adam’s death, she couldn’t call herself his wife, which meant she had no claim to his 

inheritance

Jeffrey had always been cautious around her. For years, she’d tried to soften his resolve, trying to gain his 

favor

But all her efforts hadn’t changed anything. She was still stuck in an awkward position

My words hit a nerve. Even without a wedding, I was Carter’s wife, recognized by Jeffrey himself. I was part of the family. And Sheila? She had nothing 

Zoey,Sheila said, her voice cold and sharp, I suggest you be careful

Her eyes locked onto mine, filled with venom. It was the stare of a predatorone ready to strike

I knew now that Sheila was one of the people responsible for my death. It didn’t scare me. In fact, I felt no fear arall. I pushed down the anger rising inside me and met her gaze with equal sharpness

Sheila, I’m not sure I understand what you mean,I said, keeping my voice steady. I’m just doing what Jeffrey asked. But with everything going on at the Boltons latelyfirst, the servant made a false report, and on that very day, we found poison in Silasfood.” 

The situation was suspicious. Anyone with half a brain would think the same. I spoke plainly, knowing the truth was all I needed

Linda is just a maid, so why would she care about our every move?I went on. The Boltons aren’t that big of a family. This whole thing doesn’t add up.” 

Strange? What’s strange about it? Are you accusing me of something?she retorted, her tone defensive

Silas never spoke a word before he died, and you’re Anna’s foster mother. You have a motive, don’t you?” 

I stared directly into her eyes. Silas was the Bolton heir, but he was switched at birth. You have a special position here. I have reason to think you’re involved. From now on, you won’t be allowed to contact Anna, and you can’t leave the Boltonsplace unless I say so.” 

“Zoey, are you trying to lock me up?she snapped

No,I replied, shaking my head slightly. I just want you to work with me here. The family needs the truth. If you’re innocent, I’ll apologize and bow to you. But if you’re guiltywell, we’ll see

I stepped closer, making sure each word landed with precision. If you’re hiding something, then this won’t end well for you.” 

Carter’s people were already making moves. The time for waiting was over. It was time to act, and Silas’s death was the perfect opportunity

“Zoey, you dare!Sheila’s voice was icy

Jeffrey gave his orders. The Boltons are under my control. I’m simply doing my job.I replied coolly

Chapter 307 No Accident

At that monent, Adam entered the room. His face was pale, wom with grief after losing both his son and grandson. He looked like a man who had aged years ina matter of days

Say something honey! Sheila cried. Is this what’s happening now? Are Carter and his wife taking over the Boltons?” 

I didn’t know if Carter had warned him ahead of time, but this time. Adam didn’t back Sheila

Do what Zoey says, he said flatly

AdamHow can you do this to me? After everything we’ve been through?Sheila tried to plead 

But Adam cut her off, his voice cold and decisive. Because I want the truth as well.” 

Are you accusing me?she asked, her voice trembling slightly

I’m not accusing you Adam replied, his voice thick with emotion as he mentioned Silas. But Linda called the police for no reason, and then she ended up dead in a detention center. Silas was the same way.” 

His voice wavered again when he spoke of Silas, And remember the car crash, when Carter and my late 

fe were involved? That wasn’t an accident. Someone may have planned it.” 

As soon as the car accident was brought up, something clicked. Carter’s leghe had healed long ago, but he still acted as though he were crippled

Had he known all along

If everything was connectedmy death, Carter’s leg, Adam’s late wife’s death, Silas, Luke, the Sanders- then this wasn’t just a series of unfortunate events

It was all part of something bigger. Something far more dangerous

Honey, are you really blaming me for that car accident? Sheila’s voice trembled with disbelief

Adam’s gaze hardened, his eyes fiery. If my wife hadn’t died, you’d never have the chance to marry me

Sheila’s face paled. How can you say that?Her voice cracked, her tears flowing freely now. Do you know how much I struggled, raising our daughter alone? If you hadn’t left us, she’d still be alive today. And now, you’re accusing me? I’m just a womanwhat could I have done to cause an accident?” 

Sheila broke down, her sobs echoing in the room. I shouldn’t have come back.” 

Before anyone could react, she turned and ran toward the balcony. In seconds, she was on the railing, her figure outlined against the sky

If you think I’m guilty,” she called, her voice raw with emotion, would it make you happy if I were gone?”
