| had just returned Philippa to her room when a shrill male voice pierced through the air-it was unmistakably

Harper.

What had Carter done to him?

Philippa tensed up immediately when she heard the voice. "Zoey, your uncle...

| cut her off, stepping in front of her. "Mom, you've spent your whole life being exploited by the Wilchen Do you

want to keep living like this? You treat them like family, but all they do is take from you. Are people like that even

worth calling family anymore?" Philippa hesitated, falling silent.

"In the past you stayed because of Grandma. But Carter's already made sure Grandma is safe and from them.

You don't have any ties to the Wilchers anymore. Don't forget who's responsible for the pain and suffering you've

endured all these years. Just now, if | hadn't stopped him, that so-called father of yours was about to hit you-

even knowing you're pregnant!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, and | continued my voice firm. It's completely unfair. Just because you're a woman,

does that mean you deserve to suffer like this? He gave you life, and you repaid him by supporti the Wilchers for

so many years. Without you, they'd have gone bankrupt a long tago. Mom, you deserve to live for yourself

at least once in your life. If you don't, by the tyou're on your deathbed you'll only regret it."

| guided her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. Here, have swater and calm down."

Philippa nodded, taking the glass. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Mom, trustI'd never do anything to harm you. Everything I'm doing is for your good"

Philippa suddenly gripped my wrist tightly, her expression unreadable. "Why are you being so good to me?"

| froze, taken aback by the unexpected question. Philippa's tone carried a deeper meaning

"You're my mom. Who else would | treat well if not you?"

She gazed into my eyes as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she stayed silent.

I hugged her gently, "Just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. Don't worry bout anything else I'll make

sure you get a divorce and start a new chapter in your life." "Okay," she murmured.

"Rest for now. I'll check on what's happening downstairs. I'm worried Carter might go too far."

No one understood Carter's protective nature towardbetter than | did. His sendingaway was a elear

sign-he didn't wantwitnessing the bloody mess he was undoubtedly handling

Quietly, | made my way to the staircase, stopping at the comer. From my vantage point, | could see the entire

living room below.

The stench of blood hung thick in the air.

Harper lay sprawled on the ground, his left hand pinned under Damian's boot. In his other hand, Damian held a

knife, its blade gleaming menacingly under the light.

"This is the hand, isn't it?" Damian growled.

Linette, paralyzed with fear, screamed, "What are you doing to my husband? Let him go! This is too much! I'll

call the po...

Before she could finish her threat, one of Carter's bodyguards hurled her aside with brutal force, sending her

crashing to the floor.

Her head slammed into the leg of a table, and blood poured from the wound.

Carter's bodyguards all shared one distinct trait-they were swift and merciless, without distinction for gender.

As Linette whimpered on the ground, Damian raised the knife.

As Linette whimpered on the ground, Damian raised the knife. Benjamin stepped forward in desperation,

pleading, "Mr. Bolton, this was our mistake. | apologize on their behalf. Please, | beg you, spare Harper this

once

Carter's gaze fell indifferently on Benjamin, his lips curling into a cold, detached smirk. "Who do you think you

are?" he said dismissively.

Benjamin dared not utter a sound.

Just as Damian was about to act, Carter raised a hand, halting him. "Wait."

A flicker of hope lit Harper's eyes. "Mr. Bolton, | know | was wrong.

He assumed Carter had reconsidered. But Carter spoke again, his tone chilling. This knife is too small. Go to the

kitchen and bringa cleaver."

A scream escaped from one of the maids, who had been frozen in fear.

She likely never imagined that the once reserved and gentlemanly Carter could be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

At that moment, | finally understood why the Hudsons and Bill treated Carter with such reverence, despite him

being their junior. They had seen the real Carter-the one who only showed his restraint when he was with me.

Carter glanced at the maid, his voice calm and unhurried. "You're making soup, right? Check the stove. Don't let

the Celebration Dinner be delayed. Oh, and Zoey likes something sweet. Prepare smango sorbet." 2/3 "Yes,

sir. Right away," the maid stammered, terrified. She couldn't believe how Carter could casually order desserts

while directing such violent acts. Not wanting to get involved, she hurried off to the kitchen. 09:21 Wed, Dec

Damian returned with a cleaver, and Harper was pinned against the coffee table by two bodyguards.

"I do it myself, Carter said evenly.

Damian handed the cleaver over, and Harper, now trembling uncontrollably, had already wet himself. He knew

Carter wasn't joking and frantically began pleading for mercy,

Carter's expression remained indifferent. "Your regres doesn't stem from realizing you've done wrong but from

your fear of the consequences. If faced with the saine situation in the future, you'd make the schoice." "Mr.

Wilcher, | have no intention of being your enemy, Let bygones be bygones. However, you crossed the line when

you dared to lay a hand on her. As her husband, | can't tolerate anyone disrespecting my wife." His words were

calm, and measured, and yet they sent shivers down everyone's spines.

What kind of man was this?

He remained composed even while doing something so violent-choosing to handle it himself rather than

delegating.

"Mr.

Wilcher, take this as a lesson. Never provoke another man's wife again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp "thud" echoed in the room. Harper's thumb was severed cleanly by

Carter. "Ahhh!" Harper screamed in agony.

Linette fainted on the spot, while Vere and his wife, Rubie Rhodes, clung to each other, trembling.

Benjamin was furious, his voice shaking, "Carter, how dare you!"

Carter turned his cold gaze toward Benjamin. "Benjamin, would you like to try it next?"
