Anna's panic was visible to the naked eye. Though Sadie was known to lack intelligence, it didn't mean she couldn't stumble upon the truth.

And then there was Luke. Luke knew that if his affair with Anna were exposed, it wouldn't just tarnish his reputation but also drag down the Bolton family's name.

He looked at me, fully aware that I was the one orchestrating this.

There was no blame in his eyes, only a flicker of panic.

He understood clearly that they owed me this debt. Even if I chose to expose them, he had no right or power to stop me.

Before I developed feelings for Carter, my plan had been to expose Luke and Anna together.

Using Silas to expose wasn't out of fondness for Luke but out of consideration for the Bolton family's dignity.

"Ms. Gardner, I know you have genuine feelings for Ashley. But this marriage is a done deal involving both families. If you insist on causing trouble, I'll have no choice but to call security." Silas, ever shrewd, immediately stepped forward with his men at Anna's signal, intending to forcibly remove Sadie.

To the guests, this seemed perfectly reasonable. After all, none of them knew the truth. From their perspective, removing Sadie, who tried to ruin the ceremony, made sense.

Even the Hudson family looked at Bill with thinly veiled disdain. If not for Bill's obvious favoritism toward

"Bill, you'd better take Ms. Gardner home. This is a day of celebration, not a stage for her anties

"Yes, yes, it's my failure as a parent. I'll take her away immediately."

While attempting to preserve the atmosphere, Fiona also stepped in to defend Anna. "Ms. Gardner, I haven't known Anna for long, but she's kind and respectful. I'm confident she would never do something like this." See how skillfully Anna played her cards? Just a few words, and she could sway the entire situation.

But I was prepared this time. There was no way I'd give her an opening

Lhad already sent Sadie Silas's photo in advance. Just as Silas approached her, Sadie suddenly shouted,

"He's the adulterer!

Luke's expression shifted from tense to stunned disbelief as he stared at Sadie, trying to discern if her

words were inie.

Anna, on the other hand, was clearly shaken. Her right hand clenched the hem of her dress tightly as she struggled to maintain her composure.

The affair with Silas terrified her far more than the affair with Luke; he was the secret she had buried deep in her heart.

All eyes turned to Silas in an instant.

His cold eyes radiated an undeniable chill, his demeanor exuding hostility.

With a raspy voice, he said, "Ms. Gardner, this isn't the place for your baseless accusations. I'm just a servant-how could I ever be worthy of Ms. Sander?"

Anna quickly regained her composure and sneered, "Ms. Gardner, if you're going to fabricate a story, at least pick someone believable. Why would I ever abandon a Hudson family heir for some servant? Is he handsome? Is he a man of status?" Truthfully, Silas wasn't ugly, but calling him handsome was a stretch.

And with his gravelly voice, he seemed even less likely to be linked to someone like Anna.

Even Ashley found the claim ridiculous. "Sadie, haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

Bill stormed forward, ready to drag Sadie away. "Come home with me now! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

But Sadie had learned to be clever.

She

slipped out of his grasp like an eel and darted toward Gareth Hudson, Ashley's grandfather.

"Mr. Hudson, I'm not lying. If you let this woman into your family, the Hudsons will be everyone's laughingstock."

Gareth's face darkened, but he kept his tone calm, trying to placate her. "Sadie, you know I've always been fond of you. But today is not the time or place for wild accusations. Do you understand?"

"I do, and I'm not making this up."

"Then where's your proof? You can't just throw out baseless claims."

"I have proof!"

Anna's expression turned grave. She was confident she had been careful with Silas, but where had Sadie found evidence?

Sadie, however, looked utterly self-assured, as though she had an ace up her sleeve.

Ashley cast a cold glance at her. "Do you or don't you?"

He wasn't concerned about Anna's past but couldn't tolerate disloyalty while they were together. That was something no man could endure.

Anna, of course, wouldn't admit anything. She adopted a pitiful demeanor, denying everything until evidence surfaced.

"I didn't, Ashley. You know Ms. Gardner's personality-she'd do anything to sabotage our wedding. You have to believe me!"

Ashley may not have known Anna well, but he understood Sadie's nature perfectly.

He also tried to mediate, saying, "Sadie, stop it. If you keep this up, all three families will lose face!"

Sadie was furious. She couldn't believe that this shameless man didn't believe her!

"Three families? Ha! The only one losing face here is you. You almost became the father of someone else's kid, and you're still grinning? Do you all think I don't have evidence? Well, take a look at this!" At that moment, a video suddenly appeared on the big screen.

It was footage of Anna and Silas kissing under a streetlamp.

Anna probably never imagined that the one time she risked secretly meeting Silas, she'd be caught red-handed

She had always been so cautious, knowing she had Carter and even the police watching her.

After I died, she was tailed for over a month.

The police eventually called off the surveillance after failing to find anything. But on the one occasion, she let her guard down, it was enough for me to catch her.

Was it sheer bad luck or divine justice?

After years of smooth sailing, the scales of fate had finally tipped in my favor.

As the video played, the entire room fell into stunned silence.

Luke and the Sander family all wore the same dazed expression.

Wait, wasn't she supposed to be involved with Luke?

Luke himself seemed equally baffled, likely thinking. Didn't she claim to love me to death? Then how did she end up with someone else so quickly?

His face turned deathly pale.

Even if he didn't love Anna, seeing her with another man must've sent his thoughts spiraling

He used to think Anna was, at the very least, loyal to him.

Now, seeing her true colors and recalling all he'd done to me for her sake, he probably regretted every choice he'd made.

But who cared

He had brought this upon himself.

Ashley turned to Anna, his gaze cold. Anna opened her mouth to explain, but he cut her off before she could say a word. "No-
