Although the Sanders weren't pleased with the decision Jeffrey's authority was undeniable. Even Adam couldn't do a thing about it.

His feelings were conflicted. On one hand, he didn't want Anna to marry Luke-his reputation would suffer terribly.

But on the other hand, seeing that Jeffrey had gifted me a jewelry set clearly showed his preference for Carter.

If I get pregnant, the inheritance right would be out of the question-it would definitely go to Carter.

Adam's idea was to leave the child and get rid of Anna; it would give Luke the chance to claim more shares.

Luke, however, appeared completely defeated. With all his last excuses stripped away, he had no interest in fighting for power.

He was seriously injured and was promptly sent back to his room to be cared for by the family doctor.

The Sanders were dismissed, and Jeffrey kept me behind.

"Zoey, you really don't like Luke, do you?" He asked directly, with no beating around the bush.

I had already steered the situation in this direction. Jeffrey could easily find out the truth. I couldn't hide anything.

"Yes. I heard about Luke's actions, and then I found out he and Anna had been secretly involved. I didn't think Ms. Sander deserved that. And tonight, seeing them carry on like this in such a setting, I couldn't hold back."

Zoey was young, and she was naturally impulsive. It was difficult for outsiders to tell.

"You're a good girl, Zoey. But I need to remind you, once you become Mrs. Bolton, your every word and action will reflect the family. In situations like this, you mustn't be impulsive. Thankfully, today it's just family, but what if there had been outsiders? It would have embarrassed both families."

Jeffrey spoke kindly, without reprimanding me harshly

I nodded and said, "Jeffrey, I understand. I will be more careful from now on."

"I've also heard about your situation with the Gardners. Now that you're marrying into our family, if anyone dares to treat you unfairly here, just tell me or Carter. Don't let his cold demeanor fool you. He's actually a kind-hearted person, a good kid." Perhaps because I resembled Chloe, Jeffrey had no reservations and spoke to me with surprising honesty, even though we hadn't known each other for long.

"Thanks, Jeffrey."

"By the way, focus on preparing the wedding banquet. Think of it as a practice run. In the future, with the men working outside and the women running the house, the household will be yours to manage.
