When Carter appeared, | gripped Linette's hair with one hand and held a sharp shard of porcelain against her

face. | had pressed down so hard that a small cut had formed on her cheek.

But the moment | saw Carter, all that bravado melted away. A deep sense of grievance welled up from the pit of

my stomach.

"Carter," | whispered his nsoftly.

Carter rolled his wheelchair toward me, and Damian took just a few strides to reach my side. "Madam, let go.

Leave the rest to me."

| released my grip, my hand covered in blood.

When | let go of Linette, she was left frozen in shock. She touched her face where | had slashed her, then

shrieked, "Ah! My face! There's blood!"

Her piercing scream gavea headache, so | slapped her across the face. "Shut up."

She was stunned momentarily, then turned to Benjamin. "Dad, Harper, you've got to help me!"

"Zoey, you've got snerve. She's your aunt!"

Harper, the coward, suddenly remembered how to protect his wife.

Maybe it was because | had challenged their fragile male pride. For years, the mother-daughter duo had been

controlled by the Wilchers.

Now that | was trying to upend their authority, how could they possibly swallow this humiliation?

Just as Harper raised his hand to hit me, Carter didn't speak. Damian stepped forward, kicking him ten

pieces. feet away. His body slammed into the fish tank with a loud ‘crash, shattering it in

The water and fish spilled everywhere, cascading across the floor.

Harper squirmed on the ground, struggling like a dying fish, while Linette stood frozen in shock.

Only Benjamin remained calm. He looked at Carter and yelled, "Mr. Bolton, this is a family matter. You have no

place being so arrogant here."

Carter gently patted my head. I'm sorry, I'm late"

His tone was soft, but his entire presence radiated power and coldness.

"Zocy, be good. Let the servants treat your wounds.

| knew he was handling the aftermath. The Wilchers was done for today!

Carter was detached-he rarely stirred up frouble unless it was unavoidable. The Wilchers had gone too far by

targeting me.

"I'm fine."

Philippa had already brought over the first aid kit. "Chere quickly. Letstop the bleeding. Why did you

have to go this far, you silly child?"

She scolded me, but her tears betrayed her worry.

This life, the one | shared with Zoey, had becsomething we were used to. She never knew how to resist

before, but now that | was here things are different.

Even if it meant getting hurt, | wouldn't let the Wilchers push us

further.

"If we don't fight back, they'll keep going unchecked. You've been bullied for so many years, Mom. From now on,

| want to protect you,

Mom gazed deeply into my eyes. "You silly child."

"As long as you're okay, Mom," | replied calmly, | had promised Zoey that | would protect her mother, and | had

done it.

Seeing the situation turn, Vere quickly took out his phone, preparing to call the police. But one of the bodyguards

was faster. With a sharp ‘click’, his hand was twisted behind his back in a brutal move, likely dislocating his

shoulder. The phone dropped to the floor, and the bodyguard picked it up and handed it to

Carter.

Carter, sitting in his wheelchair, looked calm as ever, his voice cold and emotionless. "You want to call the

police? Should | report it for you?"

"You think you're so clever?" Vere spat.

Carter's tone shifted slightly, his voice still cold, "Perfect timing. | have sthings to report as well, like how

you trespassed into my house, stole millions in luxury goods, and intentionally harmed my wife. Oh and | heard

you've done plenty of other good deeds in this country-forcing women into prostitution, breaking someone's

husband's legs, causing a person to jump from a building. And as for Mrs. Wilcher. your hands aren't so clean

either. Bribing officials to get your son a government position and lending money at exorbitant interest rates."

"You're talking nonsense!" Benjamin shouted, clearly panicking.

Carter sneered. "Oh, and you, the head of the Wilchers Your hands are the dirtiest of all You've been central to so

many shady dealings over the years. Do you wantto hand all the evidence to the police?"

Vere, sensing things were escalating, suddenly tried to smooth things over. "Mr. Bolton, we're family, but there is

just a bit of friction between us. Do we really have to escalate it this far?"

Rubic, still somewhat composed, spoke up. "I'll take my husband to the hospital. His arm's dislocated." She didn't

want to get involved further, pulling Vere to leave.

Carter's cold voice stopped her in her tracks, "Trying to leave? Did | say you could?"

He casually played with the phone in his hand, his face as calm as ever, but the pressure in the air made
