Chapter 387 Drop the Act 

Chapter 387 Drop the Act

At last, I had the proof

I rushed to the sink, quickly washing my hands, then grabbed my phone. I needed to warn Carter about the Doltons. Something wasn’t right

Beepbeep….. 

The phone rang several times, but no one picked up

Was he in a meeting

If he was, he’d have sent me a text to explain

Had he not heard it

I waited for a moment, but when there was still no response, I tried calling again. Once more, no answer

He’d said something earlier about having plans this afternoon. I decided to call Damian instead, hoping he’d know what was going on. He answered right away

Damian.” 

Ah, ma’am. What might you need?Damian asked, his voice as reassuring as ever

Damian, is Carl with you? I’ve been trying to reach him, and I’m getting concerned.” 

Sorry, ma’am. I’m not with him right now. I’ll check on him right away” 

I hung up, my nerves getting the best of me. Was Amber planning something? Was she about to go after Carter

But why hadn’t she acted sooner

Time dragged on. My heart was racing in my chest

Was Carter safe

A few minutes later, Damian called back. I grabbed the phone as soon as it rang. Did you find him?” I asked, desperate for answers

Ms. Dolton set him up. She drugged him, and he’s not looking good right now

Where is he?” 

I’m close by. I’ll come to get you right now.” 

Okay,I said, barely holding it together

I was furious. Tiffanywhat was she trying to do? Why was she causing all this chaos

Just as I was about to lose my patience, Carter’s name appeared on my phone screen

Chapter 387 Drop the Act 

Awave of relief washed over me 

Carl, are you okay?” 

Carter’s voice was hoarse. I’m sorry, Chloe. I didn’t mean to worry you.” 

How are you feeling right now?” 

I’m line” 

But the way he sounded didn’t match his words. Something was wrong

Turn on the video. Let me see you.”

He switched to video; and I saw him on the screen. His face was pale, and there was an unnatural flush on his cheeks. His Adam’s apple bobbed with every shallow breath

In the background, Tiffany lay unconscious on the floor

Chloe, I didn’t do anything wrong. She didn’t touch me.” 

His words were shaky, and I could see how badly he was struggling. Carl, I’m coming over. I won’t leave you alone.” 

I hated seeing him like this

The call was still going when Amber stepped into view

At the same moment, Tiffany started to stir, and before I knew it, she was crawling toward Carter

Carter, I love you. Please, just make me yours already. I’m still a virgin… 

Amber slapped her hard, the sound so loud that I felt it through the phone

What do you think you’re doing?” 

Aunt Amber, I love Carter! Please, just let me take him. He’s already been drugged. He can’t escape me. Please, just help us” 

Amber raised her hand again, slapping her a second time. Didn’t I tell you this would never happen? How dare you do something so disgraceful? Maybe I should just end you right now.” 

Carter could barely respond, too weak to stop anything 

Amber seemed to lose control. Two slaps weren’t enough. She grabbed a baseball bat and swung it down at Tiffany

is… 

Do you even know what you’re doing? This is this is 

Is what

Her sentence was cut off abruptly

Chapter 387 Drop the Act 

The only sound in the room was Tiffany’s faint sobbing Amber, however, remained utterly unmoved- cold and ruthless

By the time I arrived, Peter had already taken Tiffany away. She was barely conscious, barely able to stand while the room was now eerily empty

Carter sat in a chair, his shirt undone at the collar, exposing more skin than usual. The contrast to his usual composed, controlled self was jarring

His clothes were drenched in sweat, clinging to him as he gripped the armrests of the wheelchair 

When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, but there was a flicker of recognition

Chloe?His voice cracked, as though it had been too long since he last spoke

I locked the door behind me and slowly walked toward him 

Yes, it’s me.” 

I had Damian bring some sedatives. Chloe, you should leave. I don’t want to hurt you.” 

Despite everything, he was still thinking about me

I knelt beside him, brushing my fingers across his damp cheek. Carl, I’m your sedative” 

But Chloe, I might lose control. I.” 

I pressed my lips against his to silence him, then wrapped my arms around his neck, sitting across his lap 

Carl, I’m willing to do this.” 

The drug took over, and Carter lost all sense of restraint He needed me again and again, and I realized I had underestimated both the drug and him

There were moments when I thought I might pass out only to wake up in his arms again

He was no longer the man I knew. He was like a wild animal, driven purely by instinct

I couldn’t even imagine the kind of drug Tiffany had used on him, and it broke my heart

The night passed without a pause

When the first light of dawn crept in, Carter held me close, his face full of remorse. Chloe. I’m so sorry”
