Chapter 156 An Unsolvable Scheme


    Ever since Anna returned, I''ve lost to her countless times. But this time, I won.


    She had to pay the price of marrying into the Hudsons. Even if she didn''t die, she would wish that she was dead.


    I want to see what she can do without the Sanders'' protection.


    Anna red at me with hatred. "Zoey, no one wins forever."


    I smirked. "That''s a great line, Anna. I''ll return it to you. No one wins forever. You''ll have to return everything you have snatched. As for your grand wedding with Ashley, I''ll be sure to give you my most heartfelt blessings."


    My words stabbed deeper than knives.


    I turned and left after that.


    If she dared to try hiring someone to kill me again, it would only make it easier for me to gather evidence. against her.


    The truth behind everything would finallye to light.


    There was no need to pretend to be nice anymore.


    I even deliberately provoked her. Anna, with her calcting nature, was like a skilled predator lying in


    wait.


    She remainsposed and unhurried, methodically cornering me and infiltrating both the Sanders and Boltons step by step.


    Had I not been reborn, she would have continued on her original path and might have already achieved half of her goals.


    My sudden marriage to Carter and my bold entry into the Boltons threw her off bnce. It triggered her sense of crisis, exposing her weaknesses. This time, she made a grave mistake,pletely unraveling the intricate n she had painstakingly set up. Now, I hold the upper hand. She was forced to follow the course I''veid out for her.


    If she stays put and obediently marries into the Hudsons, she''ll stray far from her original n. However, if she makes another move, she will only step into the next trap I''ve set for her.


    This scheme was impossible for her to resolve. She had lost to me!


    The more she panics, the more it works in my favor.


    Then there was Sadie, who was sobbing non-stop. "Are you insane? Are you really going to marry Anna she cried.


    Ashley tried to console her. "She tricked me into this. Yes, I


    that was just my pride talking. You''re the one I truly loveit I had some fantasies about Zoey, but

    "Sadie, you''ve seen it for yoursell Icant control what''s happening My father is already bending over hackward for Carter III don''t obey, Carter will retalia against the Hudsons, and I''ll lose everything." "You still have me! You still have the Gardners! My father adores me


    Listening to this, I felt a headacheing on. I used to think Sadie deliberately stole Zoey''s boyfriend Now, I knew that she was just a lovesick fool.


    Ashley''s nonsenses were enough to make her fallpletely for him. Her schemes couldn''t bepared to Anna''s at all. I''d really overestimated her.


    Ashley held her in his arms to soothe her. "I know your father loves you, but afterst night''s mess, he must despise me. And now, to break into the domestic market, he needs the Boltons help. Zoey married into the Boltons, which means she''s more valuable than you in his eyes. He''ll treat her better because of them."


    Sadie''s face twisted with resentment. "I''ll make that b*tch pay. She thinks she''s invincible just because she married acripple. Wait until shees back to the Gardners-I''ll ruin her!"


    "Sadie, would you wait for me for just one year? I''ll divorce Anna by then. Your father''s anger would also have subsided. I''ll make a name for myself and win his favor."


    Sadie hesitated but was clearly tempted, "Fine. But you must promise me you won''t touch her again!"


    "Of course not. She drugged mest night. Otherwise, wouldn''t even look at her. You''re the only one who


    satisfies me."


    Watching this nonsense unfold, I couldn''t help but pity Zoey. How did she ever let such an idiot push her into depression?


    Ashley, having suffered a setbackst night, didn''t dare target me again. Instead, he stirred up hatred toward me, hoping she would take revenge on his behalf. Sadie''s


    I''m curious to see how things y out-a venomous Anna and a cunning Ashley. What kind of fireworks will this toxic pair ignite?


    As the two whispered their insults about me and even Carter, I stepped out of the shadows.


    "Why not say it to Carter''s face if you''re so dissatisfied about it?"


    The pair immediately pulled apart, staring at me in shock.


    I chuckled coldly. "Sadie, your tastes are impressive. Even after he''s been beaten to a pulp, you can still stomach kissing him. A pig would be better."


    "Zoey!"


    "There''s no need to shout. I can hear you just fine. Sadie, let me give you some advice. If you don''t want the part above your neck anymore, consider donating it. It''s a waste to keep it on you."


    Sadie froze for a few seconds before realizing what I was implying. "You b*tch! How dare you call me brainless! You''ve really grown bold! Just because you married a cripple, you think you''re untouchable-


    p!

    I pped her across the face. "Watch your mouth, His legs may be injured, but he''s still a thousand times better than this rotting pile of garbage by your side."


    "What''s going on now?" Bill''s arrival was, as always, perfectly timed.


    Sadie immediately ran to him, covering her face. "Dad look at her! She doesn''t respect me as her elder sister anymore. She pped me!"


    Bill frowned and turned to me. "Zoey! Have you forgotten your ce?"


    Before I could speak, my mom stepped forward, shielding me. "She''s a legitimate Gardner, officially on the family register. Who gave the best rd beside you to act to brazenly? Bill, you''ve always taken Sadie''s side without question. If you can''t treat Zoey as your daughter, then sever your ties with her. It''s better than this


    farce."


    Zoey''s suicide must have awakened her maternal insts because she no longer tolerated the mistreatment she once endured.


    Bill''s tone softened slightly. "I haven''t even said anything yet."


    "You''re just going to make Zocy apologize and beg for forgiveness again, aren''t you?"


    This is the Bolton Residence."


    "You know this is the Bolton Residence. Why don''t you ask why Zoey hit her?"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Bill muttered, "Isn''t it because she''s throwing her weight around?"


    Iughed coldly. "Sorry to disappoint you, but the one throwing their weight around isn''t me-it''s her. She insulted my husband, calling him a cripple


    Bill, who was wary of Carter, immediately turned to Sadie with a frown.


    "Not only that, but she also demanded that Ashley refrain from having any intimate rtionship with Anna. She insisted that after a year, he could marry her once the two of them divorced. By then, your anger will have subsided. Considering Sadie''s standing within the Gardners, you''re bound to favor this son-inw of yours..."


    I could add fuel to the fire too.


    Bill''s face darkened as he processed my words. In a sh, he pped Sadie across the other side of her face -the one Damian hadn''t hit yet. "You''re a proper youngdy, but you insist on acting like a mistress like your mother!"
