Loving Mom 312

Chapter 312

Carter had always considered himself above petty schemes like framing Sharon.

The only thing he ever involved himself in was freezing her 100 million in assets. That part-yes–he had personally arranged.

But just freezing. Nothing more.

He made no move to retrieve the money, nor did he make any effort to claim it back for himself.

Nate, who had been close buddies with him for years, knew exactly why. It wasn’t that Carter was being generous or indifferent about that 100 million.

He had countless ways to stall it, to drag her back, to make it impossible for her to leave. But he didn’t use any of them.

Because he wanted her to understand something-without him, she was nothing.

If he didn’t let her hit the wall, didn’t let her suffer a little, she’d always hold onto some childish illusion of freedom.

Let her try. Let her see how brutal the world could be. Let her realize that without his protection, even surviving would be a struggle.

And when that realization hit, she’d come crawling back. On her own. And completely defeated. (1)
