Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)
Billionaire Is 92

Chapter 92 Where Were They When I Went Missing? Chapter 92 Where Were They When I Went Missing?

My confident tone resonated loudly in the room, and my mom gazed at me with a hint of worry, her eyes questioning if I had lost my sanity.

Meanwhile, Bill stared at me as if he had never seen his daughter behave this way before.

Even though I couldn't fully grasp their relationship, based on the original owner's immediate resistance to his response, t was clear he wasn't a good father.

After all, why else would the original owner be so terrified of him, even going as far as to defy his commands at the cost of her life?

The original owner had never spoken to him in such a way, so he found it unusual.

Carter attempted to pull away from my hold once more, but I tightened my grip, making sure he couldn't

get away.

I locked my gaze on his face, silently signaling that if he didn't comply, I wouldn't release him.

As expected, Carter let out a quiet sigh and said that case, the engagement stands, but since Ms. Gardner is injured, the ceremony will be postponen for six months until she recovers." Sir months?

By then, I wasn't even sure if my original body would still be intact. I couldn't afford to wait that long. 1. needed Carter to uncover the truth and reveal the real faces of those scoundrels.

I wasn't able to finish what I started at the last wedding, but this time, I would make a grand spectacle, fully exposing Anna and Luke for the monsters they truly were. Simply killing them would be far too merciful!

I wanted to destroy them, strip them of everything they held dear, and make them regret ever being alive. Carter held the proof of their affair, which was far more incriminating than the photos I took of their kiss. However, he had chosen not to reveal it, likely because he's from the Boltons and values their reputation. What I needed to do now was get closer to Carter, obtain the evidence, and then look into Anna's true intentions. My death shouldn't be the reason she backs off. She received shares from Grandma. What's her next move!

""No!" I protested.

Everyone in the room turned their attention to me, and I faced Carter, saying, "Tomorrow at eight in the morning, we'll go get the marriage certificate."

"Ms. Gardner, marriage isn't something to be used as a bargaining tool,"

""You d

Carter remained silent, but I could see the answer in his eyes. He truly didn't want to marry me.

Perhaps he still yearned for his beloved one.

He hadn't been able to marry her all these years, which showed it was never going to happen, so I'm not exploiting his weakness.

I gripped his hand firmly and spoke, "The engagement is confirmed. Carter, whether you agree or not, you will marry me tomorrow."

My mom approached, attempting to change my mind, while Bill remained silent, watching me closely, waiting for what would come next.

The room was still, as everyone held their breath, waiting for Carter's response.

I felt a wave of nervousness, uncertain whether he would agree.

If he agreed to the marriage, it would mean he had moved on from his beloved one.

After a pause, Carter spoke with calm assurance, "Alright, I just hope you won't regret it."

I exhaled, relieved. "I will never regret marrying you."

Carter remained silent, simply gazing at me

istant look in his eyes.

With his agreement in place, I turned my gaze toward Bill, speaking coldly. "Now you can relax. I won't use death as a threat against you anymore."

Bill shot a furious look at my mom and remarked, "Look at the daughter you've raised, daring to speak to me like that."

With tears welling up in her eyes, my mom replied. "Zory is the way she is because of you pushing her, and now you have the audacity to blame me

Bill opened his mouth to argue, but when his eyes landed on Carter, he bit back his words.

"Apologies, Mr. Bolton, for letting you witness this. Thank you for keeping it quiet. If word gets out, it would bring shame to the Gardners. It's late, so I'll see you out."

It was clear that Bill had something to discuss with him. Carter gave me a nod, "Ms. Gardner, I hope you

get some rest.

"Thank you."

Only my mom and I remained in the room. She gently stroked my head, her face filled with guilt. Tm sorry, I didn't take better care of you..."

Seeing the deep sadness in her eyes, my heart softened I wrapped my arms around her. "Mom, I won't make you worry like that again, I won't try to end my life. I promise I'll live well. Mr. Bolton isn't a bad person. Even though his leg isn't in good condition, he would never hurt me. Marrying him is the right choice for me, and I'm not being stubborn. I truly mean it."

My mom let out a heavy sigh. "I really hope that's the case."

Noticing that I appeared more lucid and in better spirits, she seemed to relax a little.

Still, my thoughts were preoccupied with other concerns, so I gently made an excuse to send her out,

Once my mom was gone, I slipped into a doctor's white coat, donned glasses and a mask, and quietly made my way out.

By chance, this hospital was where Grandma was being treated.

I could hardly contain my excitement. I was eager to tell Grandma that I had survived!

I had been given a second chance at life.

She wouldn't have to worry about me anymore.

I couldn't wait to share the good news with her.

My footsteps were as light as they had been during my school years, when every evening after class felt like the most joyful and untroubled part of the day.

It all seemed so unbelievable. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have thought it was a fantasy,

The slight ache in my wrist reminded me

no illusion. I am truly Zoey Gardner now!

As I approached Grandma's ward, my heart began to race.

I spotted a familiar silhouette-my original parents,

I lifted my mask and stood silently just behind them.

Kate was sobbing as she held onto Josh, saying, "The police told us Chloe is supposed to be dead..

Josh appeared frustrated. "Keep your voice down. What if Mom hears and gets distressed?"

"My poor daughter, where could she be? The police have searched everywhere and still haven't found her."

Josh remarked, "Not finding the body means there's still a chance. Why are you crying? What are you mourning for?"

Kate crouched on the ground, tears streaming down her face, while Josh sat silently, smoking a cigarette.

If this had happened before, I would have felt sorrow seeing such a scene, but now, there was nothing inside me.

Their lack of care for me had already ended our father-daughter bond long ago. In my heart, I have fully severed all ties with that family.

Now they're crying. Where were they when I went missing in the first place?

I waited for a while

but neither of them seemed ready to leave the ward. My true identity couldn't be revealed, so I had no choice but to turn and go, intending to return another day.

To my surprise, as I was quietly making my way back to my ward, a wheelchair rolled out from the fire

The man in the wheelchair had striking features, yet his expression remained frozen, radiating an unending chill.

When his güze locked onto mine, it felt as though I were being hunted by a predator, sending a shiver through my body and causing my heart to pound wildly.
