Adam was distressed over his son. He knew his words wouldn’t be of much help, so he turned to Carter. “Can you talk to Jeffrey? Luke’s been kneeling all night, his body can’t handle it.” 

Though Jeffrey was the rock of the family, Carter’s presence was undeniable, and even Jeffrey had to give him some respect: 

Carter’s gaze landed on Luke, his voice cold as ice. “Is this something you did on your wedding night?” 

I froze. Carter had known about Luke’s affair with Anna all along. He’d only given Luke a few warnings, but there had been no real punishment. 

After all, the betrayal had already happened. What difference did it make when it occurred? Why was he asking? 

Luke’s eyes darted around, refusing to meet Carter’s gaze. 

Carter sneered. “So it’s true.” 

“Uncle Carter, I … ” Luke attempted to explain but couldn’t find the words. 

The truth was, no amount of explanation would change anything. 

“Damian, bring me the stick.” The command filled Carter’s gaze with chilling coldness, visibly shaking Adam. 

Wasn’t Carter the one they’d called for help? Why was he adding fuel to the fire? 

“No, Carter, you’ve misunderstood; I was just saying- 

Carter snapped his head up. His commanding aura filled the room, silencing Adam in an instant. 

“On his wedding night, his bride died by the river while he was there cheating in the marriage home. Does a sc*undrel like him deserve to live?” 

I had always found Carter to be cold, distant, never daring to get too close. He was always composed, never losing his temper. 

This, however, was the first time I had seen him so enraged. 

Adam had brought this on himself. Carter turned to Damian and said, “Punish him. No mercy.” 

Earlier, Luke had received the same punishment. The Boltons had felt some sympathy for Luke and only gave him a mild lesson. After a couple of days of rest, he had barely felt it.. 

But Damian was different. He stood nearly six feet three tall, his muscular frame making it clear he was trained for combat. He wasn’t about to go easy on anyone. 

I slowly walked up to Damian and asked, “Can I give it a try?” 

Damian glanced at Carter, who gave a slight nod. “Let her.”

“Yes, sir.” 

I took the whip. Luke looked up at me; the look in his eyes was complicated.

Perhaps he thought I was trying to help him. After all, as a woman, my strength would be much less than Damian’s. 

He couldn’t have been more wrong. This was about releasing years of frustration. 

The suffering I had endured, the time I spent as a soul, no one could ever understand. 

“Luke, this is what you owe Chloe.” 

With that, I raised the whip and struck his back with all my might. 

Even though I was a woman, I put all my strength into it. The crack of the whip was loud and clear. 

Luke didn’t expect me to hit him with such force. The pain caused him to cry out. 

“Aw!” 

“Does it hurt?” I asked coldly, locking eyes with him. 

Luke met my gaze, which was filled with the anger and hatred that had been brewing inside. I knew I should hide my emotions, but I couldn’t help myself.” 

After all these years of being by his side, all I got in the end was a tragic death. 

It hurt! I wanted him to feel the same pain I had. 

“Y–you’re…” Luke seemed to see Chloe standing before him. 

I continued to lash him, blow after blow. If he hadn’t saved me back then, this twisted fate would never haye happened. 

“Luke, this is what you owe me.” 

Luke stopped crying out. His eyes were fixed on me, as if he wanted to peer through my skin and see my soul. 

“Enough.” 

Carter’s voice cut through the room, commanding Damian to take the whip from my hand. 

Carter gently pulled me down. I lost my balance and slumped on his lap. 

What is he doing? 

He held my wrist, noticing the deep, clear marks left or my palm from gripping the whip too tightly. 

“Does it hurt?” 

At first, I hadn’t felt much, but after his question, a dull numbness spread through my hand. “I’m fine, Dad What about Anna?“.

I shifted the topic to the star of the show. Jeffrey, who had been stunned by my earlier actions, snapped back into focus 

“She has a heart condition and recently attempted to take her own life. Doing surgery now would be too risky. We’ll wait two weeks before we proceed with the operation.” 

Kate frowned and said, “Jeffrey, once this child is born my family will accept full responsibility. We won’t ask anything from the Boltons. But my daughter isn’t in the good shape for another surgery” 

Before Jeffrey could respond, I glared at her coldly and said, “Mrs. Sander, now I understand why your daughter did something so outrageous. With parents like you, I’m sure you’d help her cover up murder too, wouldn’t you?” 

Kate hadn’t changed, she was still defending Anna’s every action. 

“Ms. Gardner, you’re new to Bolton Residence, so I understand your ignorance, but that doesn’t give you the right to speak carelessly.” 

I argued, “Mrs. Sander, that’s funny. Your younger daughter stole your elder daughter’s husband on her wedding night, got pregnant, and now you want to analyze the motivations behind it? Do you need to guess how many times they slept together that night?” 

My sarcasm left Kate speechless. 

“I’ve seen a lot in my life, but parents like you? Your older daughter’s body is barely cold, and you’re rushing to send the younger one to her brother–in–law’s house. No one told you, the Teovia Empire has fallen for years? I’ve seen women bind their waist, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone bind their brain. If I were your older daughter, even if I were dead, I’d rise from the grave to demand an explanation How can you live with yourselves?” 

“Y–You…” Kate sputtered, pointing at me but unable to finish a sentence. 

I added, “Since you love your younger daughter so much, did she do you a huge favor in her past life?” “You have no manners.” Josh’s face darkened. “A youngster like you has no place to speak here.” 

“Youngster? Mr. Sander, you need to get something straight. I married Carter, and we’re equals! Besides, my mother is the most gentle and reasonable woman in the world. She would never raise a slt who seduces her brother–in–law and gets pregnant with his child!” 

I admitted I had used swear words, but after everything I had endured, a little profanity didn’t seem too bad. 

I’ve been reborn–why should I follow the rules? 

Forget personal integrity and enjoy a beautifully wicked life. 

As long as my enemies are unhappy, that’s all that matters to me! 

Jeffrey hadn’t expected me to be so fierce despite my usual gentle demeanor. He cleared his throat twice 

but didn’t scold me. 

“Zoey and Carter haven’t held their wedding reception yet, but I already recognize her as the daughter–in law. She has the right to speak here. As for your daughter, she’ll stay here at the estate for two weeks to

recover. I’ll bring in a private doctor to care for her around the clock. She won’t lose an ounce of weight.” 

Jeffrey continued, “The child she’s carrying, however, must not be allowed to stay.”
