Chapter 136 This is My Husband, Carter Bolton 

Chapter 136 This is My Husband, Carter Bolton 

I was taken completely by surprise by the way he was looking at me. His gaze was direct, without hesitation, as if he was seeing straight through me. There was no hint of shock or embarrassment- nothing was hidden

Nno, thank you,” I managed to say, stammering slightly

His stare felt oddly intense, almost too warm, and it made me uncomfortable enough to want to look 

away

Take a break, then join me at Lustre Jewels later tonight, he said casually

Okay,” I responded quickly before rushing to the bathroom. I washed my hands over and over, but the sensation of his touch lingered, as if his fingers were still there, sending a chill through my spine

What was going on with Carter

I had always known him as a man who kept his emotions hidden, distant, and proper. The way he had acted just now seemed completely out of character. But the way he looked at meit was intentional. I couldn’t ignore that

My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang, showing Sadieon the screen

SadicZoey’s socalled sister, a mistress’s daughter

The mistress got pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, right after Philippa did. She tried to induce premature labor, perhaps to give birth to a son first to secure her place, but sadly, the son was born too early and didn’t survive due to his weak physique

er sister 

Zoey, however, had been born healthy, and thus becarne the younger 

The mistress always blamed Philippa for the premature births, and that caused Bill to resent Philippa, thinking she was the cause of his son’s death

Men were all the sameAdam, Luke, and now Billpathetic, really

A woman would cry, and instantly, they’d forget about their wives

It was ridiculous

I wasn’t surprised that Sadie was calling, probably trying to provoke me

When Zoey was younger, she tried to fight back, but her biased father punished her. Over time, she gave up trying to explain herself. She just let things slide and sank into depression

Too bad for Sadie, thoughshe picked the wrong person to bully. I was someone who had clawed my way out of hell

I answered calmly, keeping my voice even. Sadie, what’s going on?” 

There was a pause on the other end. I could tell she wasn’t expecting me to sound so composed. The original Zoey would have either ignored her or blocked her number, but here I was, speaking so coolly

I interrupted her with a subtle laugh in my voice. Actually, Sadie, I owe you furler. You desced our the trash, and now I get to be with such a wonderful mane Mr. Bolton Carter and

And with that, I hung up. I could just imagine the confusion on her face 

If the old Zoey were here, she’d probably be furious

Sadie and Anna were both cut from the same cloth, but Sadie was more were in her cruelty. She would pick at Zoey little by little, stripping away her confidence until Zoey couldn’t take it anymore sed bed 

herself

But Sadie had forgotten one crucial thing: Carter, even though he had his struggles, was a good man 

This marriage hadn’t been a loss for me

Later that evening, I followed Carter to Lustre Jewels

When we arrived, we were ushered into the VIP room upstairs

I had been to Lustre Jewels before, but back then, as part of the Sanders, I was always in the main hall. surrounded by people all competing for the same items

But this roomIt was different. The curtains around us revealed multiple surveillance feeds, and it was only then that I realized this wasn’t just any spaceit was Carter’s private area. And Lustre Jewels was part of his empire

He sat there, looking relaxed as he flipped through his tablet, showing me the collection for the evening. Pick whatever you like,he said, nonchalantly

The collection was incrediblelimited edition jewelry designer dresses, antique calligraphy, rare herbs- Lustre Jewels had it all

Looking down at the crowd below, I noticed many influential figures in various industriespeople I had once sat with

This was the divide between those who had wealth and power, and those who struggled below them

The Sanders were wealthy, but the Boltonseven they didn’t hold a candle to Carter

His influence was immense. The building we were planning to move into was and Lustre Jewels, this treasure trove for the elite, was his as well

part of his hidden assets

+5 Free Colne 

Rumors said the owner was one of the top collectors in the world, and any item in the store could fetch millions at auction

And the mysterious owner was none other than Carter Bolton

How many other hidden ventures did he have

No wonder he casually spent 200 million on my three paintings

I can pick anything I want?I asked, still in disbelief

Anything. You can have everything in Lustre Jewel. As my wife, it’s all yours,he said without hesitation

It didn’t surprise me. His generosity was just a reflection of his capabilities

I was surrounded by all these sparkling treasures

I’m not sure there’s anything I really need,” I said, feeling overwhelmed by the choices

He flipped through his tablet. There are a few gowns today. Want to take a look? If you like one, I’ll have them set it aside for you.” 

I wasn’t particularly interested in the jewelencrusted gowns, but one did catch my eye. It was beautifully crafted with incredible attention to detail

I like this one,I said

Great choice. Take your time, he responded

Before I could continue, I spotted two familiar figures in the crowd

Sadie and Ashley

It seemed like Sadie had planned to buy a stunning gown to show off at the dinner, trying to outshine me. Unlike Anna, who always played the victim, Sadie was determined to oneup Zoey at every turn

Sadie’s looks weren’t as striking as Zoey’s, but Zoey had struggled with depression for so long that her once vibrant personality had faded. She dressed in dark, somber colors, her presence heavy and full of sorrow
