Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)

Chapter 464 Unexpected Situation: Attack!

On my way to the Bolton Residence. I thought a lot after spending time up close with Dominic and his family of four.

I realized that his two sons were quite different-one was a bit naive and sweet, while the other tried hard to protect his family.

Amber was completely focused on Carter, and Dominic was solely interested in getting revenge on the Sander family, so he wasn't in the mood to deal with the Boltons.

What this means was that the people from that organization were actually targeting the Boltons but used the Carlyns as pawns.

Looking back, I suspect that the couple was likely part of the organization, possibly holding a very high

rank.

In the letter, Commander's wife asked my grandma to get rid of the Carlyns, but in the end, my grandma spared them.

She also asked Grandma to join her in making money at sea, but the Sanders had never left Snowville all these years. I suspect she was referring to some kind of human organ trafficking operation. Grandma turned her down and refused to get involved in any of those dealings.

Perhaps this refusal angered 'them-after all, it must have been infuriating for those who once obeyed her dared to defy her.

The Carlyns were eager for revenge, so they diverted the trouble to someone else and took over the family.

What could be safer than having your enemies right under your nose?

In addition to fooling the Carlyn family and the Sander family, Commander and his wife's real target was the Boltons!

They orchestrated a grand scheme, pulling all the strings and playing everyone like puppets.

"Dad, I'm starting to suspect their real target is the Boltons. If you know anything, could you tell me?"

Jeffrey twirled his pen in his fingers. "I've been quietly having people look into this for a while. And I have a pretty clear picture now. Your instincts are right-they really are aiming to take over the Boltons' wealth." The revelation was surprising, yet made perfect sense.

The Boltons were the true aristocrats. They had been one of Snowville's most prominent families for over a century. From what I knew, many of the undeveloped plots of land in Slowville were still owned by the Boltons.

After the new order was established, Jeffrey used aggressive tactics and capitalized on his past wealth, making another fortune.

The Boltons were like a juicy piece of meat-perhaps the Commander and his wife had been eyeing it for decades.

recklessly in front of them!

That's why he was able to protect Ronald during the assassination attempt, right in front of the Commander and his wife.

No wonder Wisteria got close to Luke, and after failing still ended up marrying into the Boltons.

Getting revenge on the Sanders was one of her tasks, but she likely had other missions as well.

Jeffrey's expression darkened. "That couple has been using military power for years to commit all sorts of crimes. They tried multiple times to take control of the Boltons, but when they feared they'd be held accountable, they were forced to leave Snowville. I never imagined they were still coveting the Boltons, doing everything they could to take us down.

"Sheila failed, so they sent Wisteria to slowly take control of the Boltons heirs. The way they've been scheming is so frightening!"

If the Carlyns' revenge on the Sanders was premeditated, then this couple is utterly ruthless!

"Dad, do you think the twins are also involved with the organization?"

"Whether they are or not, they've likely been brainwashed and turned into pawns in their plot for revenge against me. Cough, cough." Jeffrey leaned his hands on the table, and despite his frail form, an intense, chilling aura seemed to fill the

room.

"If I had known their true intentions, I wouldn't have shown them mercy and saved them. It only left a lasting threat."

I was just grateful that fate hadn't been entirely blind, at least Sheila never harmed Jeffrey during the years she was with him.

It became clear that, in the past, Jeffrey was the true powerhouse, strong enough to make Commander and his wife wary of him even now, resorting to sneaky tactics behind his back.

"Chloe, don't worry. I will track down those two old thieves and make them apologize to you."

Hearing that, I felt an unexpected sense of relief.

"Do you know where they are?"

"As long as I have a target, even if they hide at the ends of the earth, I'll find them and make them pay for their blood debt! Cough, cough...

It was a shame to see a hero in decline.

At least the Boltons had Carter, so they wouldn't end up like the Sanders with no successor.

"Dad, you should rest for now. Carl is back, so you don't need to worry. With that bad cough, you should really get checked out by a doctor." Jeffrey's eyes darkened. "I've wronged that child."

His loyalty to his first wife had made him distant and cold toward this illegitimate son since his childhood.

I couldn't judge the complicated issues between the elders, so I simply helped him back to his room and called for the family doctor.

I wasn't sure if it was because of everything that had happened that year, but Grandpa seemed to be aging faster than ever. He looked frail, and it was worrying.

I just said goodbye to my grandma, and I hoped he could live as long as possible.

Time, please be kind to this old man.

After watching the doctor finish his examination, I nervously asked, "What's wrong with Dad?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zoey. Mr. Bolton just has a cold that's turned into pneumonia. I'll give him a saline drip and he'll be fine."

I nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Of course, it's my job," the doctor replied.

I picked up a fruit knife and began peeling fruit for Jeffrey.

The doctor took out a syringe and some medication from his kit. I glanced at him and noticed his hands- rough and dark, with thick calluses on the knuckles, index finger, and thumb.

If a surgeon had calluses, they should be on their fingertips, why would there be so many calluses on the knuckles?

Unless ...

His weapon wasn't a scalpel-but a gun!

A hand that was constantly gripping a gun would develop calluses in that spot from the friction..

The man was tall and straight, wearing a white mask and a white coat, and his neck and exposed skin were very dark.

Something was wrong!

He was not an indoor doctor, he was probably an assassin who worked outdoors most of the time!

I looked at Jeffrey and noticed he was also studying the man, sensing something was off as well.

"Where's Dr. Laurence? I don't think I've seen you before."

"He's busy with surgery, but don't worry, my medical skills are excellent," he replied calmly while drawing a cloudy liquid from a small glass bottle with the syringe.

As he applied pressure, I could see the veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Without a doubt, the arm hidden under that white coat was likely muscular.

I gripped the scalpel tightly, aware that in the room, it was only me, the butler, and an old man.

I told myself I only had one chance.

I couldn't panic. I couldn't be nervous.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was still preparing the medicine, I carried the fruit plate and moved closer to Jeffrey.

"Dad, I've peeled an apple for you

Have some."

Sure enough, as I approached the man, at me briefly out of the corner of his eye.

At that moment, I swung the fruit plate hard at his

fac

He instinctively raised his hand to block it, and with the opening I created, I drove the knife straight toward his heart..

But the man's eyes glinted with danger, and his reaction was lightning-fast.

He used his arm to block my strike, minimizing the damage, and in the same motion, he drew his gun.

Bang!
