Chapter 450 Burn the Carlyns' Ancestor's Grave

Everything unfolded so suddenly that it felt like my brain short-circuited. What was happening?

In the split second I saw two of my closest loved ones die, Wisteria launched her attack on me, only for Carter to step in at the last moment, saving me. My eyes widened in shock, and I shook uncontrollably in his arms.

I wanted to speak, to act in some way.

But when overwhelmed by intense fear, stress, or emotion, you often freeze. You lose control and sometimes even the ability to speak.

All I could do was gaze up at him, my lips trembling as I barely managed to whisper, "Blood

He held me softly, his voice low and comforting as he whispered back, "Chloe, I'm here this time."

In my past life, I was alone and vulnerable, left to face the attack on my own. But this time, Carter was here, protecting me from Wisteria's blade. What was happening? Why was this still unfolding despite me destroying the Stone of Duality?

What the hell was Carter doing?

"Carter."

Tears poured down my face uncontrollably. I didn't want to cry. I would've preferred to have been the one stabbed instead.

Sensing the intensity of my fear and trembling, Carter tightened his hold and murmured soothingly, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." That one sentence made everything click.

Was this part of his plan all along?

Wisteria, clearly not expecting Carter to intervene, was still a vicious, unstable woman.

Without a second thought, she pulled out her dagger and rushed toward Carter. "Carter, you and Chloe will die together!"

With swift precision, Carter spun around, pulling me with him as he kicked Wisteria away.

She had lost her opportunity.

Dominic, still grappling with the grief of Grandma's death, turned just in time to witness the scene.

Everything had gone according to his plan-except for Wisteria. She had broken free of all control.

She was bent on destruction.

"Wisteria, what the hell are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to harm Chloe?" Dominic's voice was filled with rage.
