Chapter 44 Find out Everything Anna Did to Chloe

Roy was surprised. After all, the most important person to Luke over the past two years had been Anna. He pressed further, asking. Mr. Bolton, what exactly are you looking into?"

"I need to know how Chloe's child died and what she did to Chloe behind my back, Luke replied, his voice growing tense.

Luke's brow furrowed tighter, his conflicting emotions written across his face.

He wanted to uncover the truth but feared that the truth might be too cruel. It could shatter the mask he had built around his feelings for Anna, a mask that shielded him from the reality of his past actions. The more Anna proved herself unworthy, the more it reflected how deeply he had hurt me. In this, he had played a shameful part.

He had no choice but to add, "Also, make arrangements for me to go abroad as soon as possible."

"Of course. It's already late. You should get some rest," Roy said.

Luke's flight was scheduled for the next afternoon, but he still had a mountain of things to handle.

So, instead of heading home, he dragged his exhausted body to his suite, where he intended to take a short

TEST.

I hadn't been here in a long time. The place had changed significantly since I was last here. The photo of me and Luke had been replaced with one of Luke and Anna.

The sheets were in the floral pattern Anna liked, and items belonging to her were scattered around the

room.

Luke, already drained, froze when he saw that everything in the suite was related to Anna,

He sat on the bed, one hand tugging at his tie, lighting a cigarette.

His appearance was both weary and desolate as he stared at the photo on the nightstand, not blinking

once.

Perhaps he was starting to realize how strange it was. This was supposed to be my place with him, but now, it was filled with traces of Anna. What was I to him now?

He finished the cigarette. Instead of washing up, he grabbed a tote bag and stuffed everything that belonged to Anna in

it, as though removing her from his life completely.

He planned to throw these things into the closet, but when he opened the door, he was stunned.

Half the closet was filled with Anna's clothes.

From spring to winter attire, including sleepwear, bathrobes, and undergarments.

Luke laughed bitterly, then threw a tantrum. He yanked a few pieces of clothing off the hangers and tossed them to the floor.

See? Anna had already seeped into every corner of his life. He could clean the clothes, but he couldn't erase her presence.

Luke, frustrated, stormed off to the bathroom, slamming the door with a loud bang.

I knelt on the floor, watching the bag he had thrown across the room. The top picture frame had fallen out, its glass shattered, a crack splitting between him and Anna in the photo. At that moment, I felt no comfort.

I was well aware that someone had likely broken and replaced my photo in a similar manner before.

Maybe one day he'd see Anna for who she truly was, but what difference would it make?

I would never forgive them. I could never go back.

Luke was too exhausted to deal with the mess. He stepped over the clutter and collapsed onto the bed. He turned off the lights, intending to sleep.

His elbow rested on his eyes, and I couldn't make out his expression.

All could see was the faint tremble of his shoulder. In the stillness of the room, his voice broke through. "Chloe!"

I stood by the window, gazing out at the sprawling cityscape.

Even at three in the morning, cars were still passing by, and the skyscrapers across the street were brightly lit.

How many people in this city were struggling to sleep tonigh

How many more nights of peaceful sleep can my family have? I will wait and sec.

Luke only slept for a few hours. When the first rays of sunlight touched his face, he woke up.

He opened the closet to pick out his clothes for the day Without thinking, he reached for the lighter-colored ones, but something must have crossed his mind because he ended up choosing a dark suit instead. He pushed the door open and walked out, his steps steady.

The first thing he did was contact his assistant. "Get rid of everything in the suite

Jim Wilcher, his long-time personal assistant, hesitated. He had worked for Luke for, many years and knew just how much the suite had changed.

"But those things belong to Ms. Anna. If she comes back and sees they're gone, she'll be upset."

Everyone knew how important Anna was to Luke, especially since her heart condition was common knowledge.

Whenever she visited, the staff treated her with the utmost respect, like royalty.

If they accidentally triggered her heart problemet.

Jim's cautious request only seemed to aggravate Luke more.

Luke slammed the coffee cup in his hand onto the ground. "She's my sister, not my wife. Is it appropriate to have her things in my bedroom?"

"Not appropriate, not appropriate at all Jim nodded quickly, scrambling to clean up the spilled coffee.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. This was all Lukes doing. If he hadn't allowed it. Anna wouldn't go this far.

Now, he was blaming others? Where did he replace the nerve?

Jim was eager to keep his job. He certainly wouldn't dare to speak the truth.

After cleaning up the mess, he returned to the suite and saw the pile of items Luke had thrown on the floor-everything from personal items to clothes.

He wasn't sure how to deal with it and asked again, "Mr. Bolton, do you want to throw all of this out?"

Luke ground his teeth and repeated, "All of it!"

"Okay"

"Wait, after you throw away the trash, pur Mrs. Bolton's things back where they were."

Jim hesitated, a conflicted expression crossing his face. Mr. Bolton...

"What?"

"Ms. Anna destroyed you and Mrs. Bolton's photo frame earlier. I wanted to keep the picture, but she said it wasn't necessary. There were plenty more, so she told me to throw it away. "And Mrs. Bolton's clothes? Ms. Anna said they were out of style and told me to throw them all away

Luke's anger flared immediately. "How dare you!"
