Carter finished treating my burn. If this had happened before, I never would have dared to even think about it.

It turned out that Carter wasn't cold or indifferent at all, he was actually quite gentle.

"Thank you," I said, pulling my hand back, ready to leave,

"Wait," he called out.

I looked at him, confused. "What is it?"

"Anna isn't simple. It may seem like you've won this time, but have you ever thought that I was all part of her plan?"

Carter locked eyes with me. Each word he spoke felt like a blow to my head. I stared at him, disbelief written all over my face. "W-what are you saying?"

"If you were having an affair, would you choose such an obvious way to do it?"

His words hit me hard, and for a moment, I stood there stunned. Slowly, my thoughts started to clear.

From the moment we were in the car, Anna had deliberately been trying to tempt Luke.

Though I knew it as a spirit, Zoey had no idea about their affair.

"She did it on purpose to show me!" I realized suddenly

Carter had known about their relationship for a long time. He had chosen to protect the Boltons reputation and not expose the truth, but it was different for me.

I was just a girl, younger than her, with little experience in such matters.

"From the moment you entered the Boltons, you made your animosity toward her clear. If you had seen their affair, what would you have done?" Carter said, carefully breaking it down for me.

"You came in and immediately drew Jeffrey's attention. You sensed the tension between us. Wouldn't you expose the affair to secure your position?"
