If Carter revealed those photos, Lake and Anna's reputations would be utterly destroyed.

Luke's hands trembled as he finished gathering the scattered photographs.

Panic gripped him as he hurried into his car while glancing around like a thief.

"Roy he muttered instinctively.

The driver replied calmly, "Mr. Bolton, have you forgotten? Roy was injured in the Chedor conflict and has just returned to the country. He's still recovering.

Luke rubbed his temple. His mind was on the verge of unraveling.

After a deep breath. E finally said. "Take me back to the Bolton Residence."

Luke's already haggard face was now twisted with fear. I knew he was terrified. If Jeffrey discovered the truth. Luke's dreams of inheriting the family legacy would shatter completely. Back at the estate, Jeffrey was enjoying tea in the tea room.

Feigning composure, Luke approached and asked, "Grandpa, would you like me to play a game of chess with you?"

Yet time and again, you've humiliated her for the sake of Anna, breaking her heart. That hardly makes you a good husband."
