It wasn't a trap set by Jonathan, but rather by Ezra.

After Ezra had thrown Carl into the psychiatric facility, he never showed up again. Now that he was here, he didn't dare to think about what Ezra might do to him.

Ezra spoke up. "Carl, you're weird.

"Back at the hospital warehouse, you showed so much courage and had already decided you were willing to risk your life for the woman you love. You weren't afraid of dying then, so what's causing your fear now?

"It seems like your determination to face death isn't very resolute!"

Ezra's tone sounded sarcastic as he said that.

Carl immediately responded, "It's not that I'm not resolute..."

As he uttered the words, Carl realized he might have fallen into a trap. Feeling a

bit guilty, he quickly changed his statement. "What beloved woman? Willingness

to risk my life for her? You really like to make up stories, Mr. Turner."

Make up stories, he said? Ezra's eyes gleamed with a sharp intensity.

Carl didn't admit to taking the fall for Lizzie, but did it really matter if he did or not? What mattered was that he knew for sure Lizzie was the mastermind behind

everything.

Carl's existence was merely that of a pawn.

Ezra looked at Carl and said mockingly, "Carl, according to your plan, you were supposed to kill Rose in the warehouse and then take your own life, right?"

Ezra continued speaking without waiting for Carl to answer. "But have you ever thought about why there was an explosion?"

Carl frowned. He understandably had his suspicions, but he quickly figured it out. "So, it was you? It was the handiwork of Mr. Turner?"

"Right, but you only got half of it correct." Ezra chuckled. "I did have a hand in it, but in this explosion, my role was just knowing and taking advantage of it. The actual mastermind behind the explosion wasn't me!"

It wasn't Ezra who planned the explosions?

Carl clearly didn't believe him, as he said, "If it's not Mr. Turner, then it should be Mr. Finch, right? Or perhaps, it's Clover and Elijah from the Xanth family..."

Carl stopped speaking at that moment. It wasn't for any particular reason, but because he suddenly realized something.
