Seeing that smile, I instinctively grabbed Carter’s arm. Carter, I’ve got a bad feeling. Do you think Anna is planning something again?”
Carter’s long fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, “Logically, after all the trouble the Sanders has been through, she shouldn’t act for now. But it’s hard to say. Do you want to follow the Sanders’s car?”
“I’m worried she might try to wipe them all out.”
I voiced my unease. After all, Anna wasn’t someone you could judge by common logic.
“Damian, follow the Sanders. And assign extra people to guard Grandma’s place.”
“Yes, sir.”
We tailed the SUV ahead. Even though the Sanders had been cold and cruel to me in my previous life, I wanted them to face retribution.
When the truth finally comes to light, I want them to be wracked with regret, living every day in torment and guilt–not like Ethan, who died without understanding a thing. That kind of pain is fleeting.
They haven’t yet seen the true face of the daughter they so carefully protected. When her mask comes off she’s nothing short of a demon
“Carter, I’ve thought this through. The most dangerous place is often the safest. My rebirth disrupted Anna’s plans, so she’ll definitely change her strategy. Now that Ethan is dead, if all of Sanders dies, who do you think stands to gain?”
Carter replied calmly, “She and Ashley didn’t get married, so she’d be the sole heir.
“Exactly. The Sanders’s shares, their properties, and even everything Grandma owns–it would all become hers. Killing them one by one would be too slow. A clean sweep is risky, but the benefits to her are
massive.
I took a deep breath and continued, “If Sanders dies, she will inherit everything. Then, she could play the poor orphan card and gain the Hudsons’s sympathy. Armed with all that wealth–and her unborn child- the Hudsons would change their attitude towards her. Even the Boltons might offer her support for the sake of her child. She could infiltrate both the Hudsons and Boltons step by step. In other words…
Carter finished my thought, “The Sanders is no longer of use to her. They can die.”
The idea made my chest tighten. She wasn’t just cruel to me–she was a true monster.
“If we’re right, then someone’s definitely tampered with that car. Ethan’s death was just the beginning.”
My heart raced. “Carter, I think I know what’s wrong. It’s the road back to the Sander residence! Something must’ve been done to it. We have to stop them.”
“Alright, don’t worry.”
Carter took out his phone and made a call. Judging by the conversation, it was to Josh’s business partner.

Sure enough, the SUV turned at the next intersection. As I started to relax, I noticed something about the
“Oh no, the brakes are failing!”
From across the street, we watched the vehicle suddenly pick up speed. I could only imagine how terrified the people inside were.
Luckily, it was a cold night with few pedestrians and cars on the road. The conditions were relatively safe
The driver made a snap decision and swerved the car into the guardrail and flowerbed. The vehicle scraped violently against the rocks, the sound sharp even from where we stood.
Finally, the car came to a stop..
The Sanders members scrambled out, panicked but unharmed. They didn’t even need an ambulance.
“Let’s go home.”
I withdrew my gaze indifferently. If they hadn’t changed their route at the last minute, the next stretch of road would’ve been where the accident happened.
That place had no such safety conditions. It was also where Ethan had died.
“Anna is ruthless, wanting to kill the Sanders in the same way and at the same place.”
This was true psychological torment–killing someone’s heart and mind.
Carter held my hand tightly, his palm damp with sweat. It was clear he was scared, too.
But I knew he wasn’t worried about the Sanders–he was worried about me.
I turned my hand to grip his in return. “It’s okay. They say what goes around comes around. The worst has already happened. From now on, it’s my turn to enjoy life.”
He didn’t say anything, just pulled me into a firm embrace.
Resting my head against his chest, I listened to his heart’s strong, steady beat, and I finally felt calm.
I couldn’t help but think about that fateful night. If I had called Carter instead, would the outcome–have been different?
His cl
deep voice broke my thoughts. “What are you thinking?”
“I was thinking… if my last call had been to you, even if you couldn’t save me, you’d have uncovered the truth–sooner, I wouldn’t have been dismembered, leaving no trace behind
Carter’s voice turned somber. “If you had chosen me in your last life, do you think I would’ve let you be in such danger? Chloe, I’ll always protect you in this life or the last.”
He was right.
Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over me. Without the suffering of the past, how could I have the sweetness of today?

Back then, he clearly cared for me so deeply, saving me again and again. Yet he kept his feelings locked away, never saying a word.

The readers' comments on the novel: Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)
I take back my compliment and this is another novel I stop reading. Why are there so many chapters missing!!!! If much rather pay to read than read the rubbish on this site...
Finally a good story with mostly uninterrupted reading due to garbled paragraphs, which is evident in most of the other novels I've tried reading and given up on I'm thoroughly enjoying it!...
