Chapter 48 He Will Make His Move Against Me
At this point, I couldn’t help but admire Anna deeply.
It was clear that Luke had intended to sever all ties with her, but with just a few carefully chosen words, she had steered him completely off course.
Luke’s expression was serious, as though he was deeply contemplating this matter.
He wondered, “No wonder I’ve always thought he was overly concerned about Chloe. Could it be that his goal from the very beginning was to target me?
“Luke, think about it. He never comes home, not even once a year. Why did he suddenly start moving his overseas assets back to the country? And now he’s spending every day with Grandpa, drinking tea and playing chess. It’s obvious that he knows Grandpa’s health is deteriorating, and he’s trying to gain favor in front of him.
“And your situation with Chloe could be the reason Grandpa starts to dislike you. Recently, Grandpa’s been dissatisfied with you, and there have been a few problems at the company. If you leave the company now, and something goes wrong, wouldn’t Uncle Carter have a perfect opportunity to attack?”
Luke’s expression clearly changed. He asked, “Would he really go that far?”
“Luke, people will do anything for money, and your family inheritance is such a big prize. Anyone with at scheme won’t let it slip by. Who in this world truly sees money as worthless! I suspect that Chloe’s disappearance might even have something to do with Carter. If you let your emotions get the best of you, you’ll fall right into his trap. Think about it: if you’re caught going abroad to search for Chloe, regardless of whether you find her or not, you’ll be caught in a scandal. The media will jump on it, and Jeffrey will be furious. He might even strip you of your position as CEO”
Luke frowned deeply and asked, “Are you saying I should just ignore Chloe! She’s been my childhood sweetheart; we’ve grown up together. If she’s really suffering abroad, how can I just abandon her?”
“Luke, Chloe needs to be saved, but you can’t do it yourself. You can find someone else to handle it. Even if someone finds out, it won’t trace back to you.”
Luke’s attitude toward Anna softened slightly. Tll think about it. You can leave now.”
“Alright.”
Though Anna had left, it was clear that Luke had taken her words to heart.
He instructed his assistant to investigate Carter’s whereabouts.
The assistant, unsure of why Luke had suddenly become so concerned about Carter, immediately began
his search.
Soon, the assistant returned with news. “Mr. Bolton, hes not in the country.”
“Where is he then?”
He’s abroad, and in the city where we’re about to land

Luke’s face suddenly changed. “Anna was right after all
“Mr. Bolton, what do you mean by that?”
“Cancel my flight immediately.”
Roy was puzzled. How could Luke’s mood change so suddenly?

Just a moment ago, he had been eager to leave, but after Anna’s visit, everything seemed to shift.
“Mr. Bolton, you’re not going to look for Mrs. Bolton anymore? What if she’s abroad right now?”
“I couldn’t be sure before, but now I’m certain that this has something to do with Uncle Carter. He must have set a trap for me abroad. Chloe is just the excuse the real plan is to lure me there!”
Roy was even more confused after hearing this explanation. “Mr. Bolton, I understand you’re worried about Mrs. Bolton’s disappearance, but your current state is too unstable. How does this all relate to Mr. Carter? I really don’t understand.”
You don’t need to understand. If it weren’t for Anna’s reminder, I almost fell for his trick. Uncle Carter will definitely make his move against me to seize control of the Boltons‘ inheritance!”
