I had a feeling this situation would spiral out of control but I never expected it to go quite like this. My instincts told me it would end in a complete mess, but Carter, always one step ahead, had orchestrated everything in a way that left everyone shocked and helpless.

He had taken the Sanders to the very edge of ruin, and now I understood why, despite his disability and reliance on a wheelchair, people still feared him.

The stories of his cutthroat methods less were exaggerated, and witnessing it firsthand made me feel the weight of his influence.

This man wasn't just clever; he was ruthless, dangerous, and utterly formidable.

I was grateful he was on my side. If he were my enemy, not even a hundred lifetimes would be enough to match his power.

The first to speak up was someone from the Sanders. "This is insane! It's not like they're in love! Carter, are you trying to force a marriage where there's nothing?"

Sadie, though clearly angry about being betrayed, couldn't hide her frustration. Their relationship hadn't been entirely based on lust; there had been feelings there-real feelings.

"Everyone knows he's my fiancé! And now you want him to marry someone else? How do you expect me to maintain any dignity for the Gardners in front of everyone?"

She knew she couldn't win this argument with logic, so she tried to shift the focus to the Gardners, hoping it would gain her some ground. Bill, standing beside her, had a troubled look on his face, clearly trying to figure out the best way to salvage their family's reputation. Carter's response was cold and biting. "He was just openly involved with Anna in front of everyone, and now you're talking about saving the Gardners dignity? There's nothing left of that."

Sadie's mind finally caught up to what he was implying and she remembered the moment she'd caught Ashley in the act of cheating-

I decided to add my own thoughts. "Sadie, let's forget about whether Ashley should marry Anna. The moment he cheated on you, you lost any credibility. Do you really think you can just pick up where you left off? I never realized how magnanimous you are. I used to think you were fighting for him, but now I see you're just recycling old trash. You're such a kind-hearted soul."

"How dare you... "Sadie glared at me, clearly wanting to unleash her fury. But with Damian right there, she had no choice but to hold her tongue. The slap from earlier still stung, so she bit back her anger.

Although she wasn't pleased with my words, she knew they were true.

Bill's face darkened. "Your sister's right. Our dignity's already been destroyed by him. You can still find another man; you and he are finished."
