Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 529 The Truth Comes to Light I vividly remembered something Jeffrey had once said-Everly had a dimple on

her cheek, in the same spot as Carter's mother.

Yael had one too, but it was on the opposite side, just like Dominic's.

Amber, however, had no dimples at all.

Amber had originally been a twin, and the only way to tell them apart was by the dimple on one of their cheeks.

Could it be that the person who had been cooking for Carter all these years wasn't Amber at all, but Eleanor Dolton-Carter's mother?

That would explain why she had such a strong reaction upon seeing the Stone of Duality on my neck.

The person standing before me at that moment hadn't been Amber-it had been her!

She didn't want her son to die, so she orchestrated the assassination attempt on

me.

Eleanor wasn't dead.

She had been alive all along.

Thinking back to what Sheila had whispered before she died about Lady Rose, I had initially suspected Amber.

But could it have been Eleanor all along?

I staggered back, nearly losing my balance.

Details I had overlooked began piecing themselves together in my mind. All along, Lady Rose had been pulling the strings behind Sheila, orchestrating my death in my first life.

The fire had been started by that old witch. She had orchestrated everything, manipulated Eleanor into believing Jeffrey was her enemy, and turned her into nothing more than a pawn in her quest for revenge.

She had been rescued from that fire and Carter had been taken to the Boltons. Soon, she disappeared from the world.

Her only reason to stay alive was to take revenge against the Boltons.

Then Carter left the country. And she, under Amber's guise, approached him to protect him.

But what if ...

What if she had wanted me dead from the very beginning?

After all, she was the person closest to Wisteria. And Wisteria was the mastermind behind everything-there was no way she didn't know.

I had never seen Carter's mother before. All I had to go on was what Jeffrey had told me about her dimple.

However, Carter had lived with her for over a decade. How come that a smart man like him could not tell the difference between Amber and his mother?

A chill ran down my spine watching the mother and son exchange a knowing smile.
