Even after Her Death by Rita Bond

Chapter 409 This Plot Is Insane

Boom! My head felt like it was about to explode.

Wasn't Amber the mother of the Carlyn brothers?

How could she possibly be connected to Carter?

The moment this possibility occurred to me, everything started to make sense.

Why was Amber so concerned about Carter? Why did she take care of him for over a decade and even assign Damian to protect him?

Why did she react so strongly when she saw my Stone of Duality?

It was because Carter was her son, and she had guessed what he intended to do.

She didn't want Carter to sacrifice himself to save me, so she sent Damian to kill me.

If Damian hadn't changed his mind at the last second, I'd already be a corpse.

This also explained why Tiffany and Carter could never be together. Carter was Tiffany's cousin and Peter was Carter's uncle.

No wonder I sometimes felt Carter and Peter shared certain similarities.

If this assumption were true, Amber might have had a hand in the plan to kill me.

The person I loved most was the biological son of someone who wanted me dead.

I was losing it.

Carter had already figured out what I was thinking. His face showed a hint of nervousness as he said, "Chloe, I'm sorry. I didn't know... I really didn't know she was still alive." A cold shiver ran down my back.

Just how many secrets were hidden behind my supposed death?

I felt like I was getting closer to the truth, yet it also felt like the truth was far beyond what we could currently see.

Carter's face grew paler with tension and fe

evident in his expression.

No wonder he hesitated to share this theory with me earlier. If it were proven true, it would make him the son of my enemy. He was sure I would hate him for it.

Just an hour ago, the two of us had been so close, practically inseparable.

Now, he wanted to reach out to me but was afraid I'd push him away.

What an idiot!
