Chapter 1062: As the crowd's attention shifted elsewhere, Kristopher stole a brief, conflicted glance in Carrie's direction.
A strange feeling gnawed at his gut-this wasn't over. Somehow, he sensed Carrie wouldn't let things go easily. Aliza might soon face consequences.
Kristopher no longer pitied Aliza. Ever since he'd seen her true nature, he'd felt detached. Now, he was almost curious-eager, even-to see how Carrie would strike back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreed from the influence of his mother, Billie, he found Carrie to be a far more compelling woman. She never schemed maliciously, but when wronged, she always stood her ground. She retaliated with equal force, neither compromising her values nor backing down. For the first tin a long while, he began to understand why he had once cared for her.
But that realization also brought a flicker of remorse. He remembered how Carrie had taken care of him when he was sick. If their roles had been reversed, Kristopher wasn't sure he would've done the same.
In a shadowed corner of the audience, Lise lowered her head and pulled on her mask, her eyes locked on Carrie with seething hatred. To her, Carrie was supposed to be a tragic figure-abandoned by her father, unloved by Kristopher. She should have had nothing.
Yet somehow, after losing Kristopher, Carrie had becthe cherished heiress of the Morrison family in Isonridge, rising even higher in status. And despite the plagiarism accusation, people still rallied behind her. Alethea had claimed that Kristopher had lost his memory and was now fully devoted to Aliza. But watching him today, Lise realized something-memory loss or not, Kristopher didn't love Aliza.
Lise had seen what Kristopher looked like when he was in love—and this wasn't it. If he truly loved Aliza, he would have spoken up for her today.

She had lost everything—her freedom, her dignity—and it was only through Alethea's maneuvering that she'd managed to be here at all. At any moment, the police could clooking for her. She had no money, no means of escape, and even her once impeccable looks had deteriorated under the harsh conditions of prison. But none of that mattered now. All she wanted was to drag Carrie-the woman she blamed for destroying her life-down into the abyss with her.
She had leaned on Alethea to sneak into the Music Association, hoping to witness Carrie's public downfall. But Aliza had been utterly useless. Even with luck on her side and a favorable lot, she still couldn't win.
If Lise wanted revenge, she would have to take control herself. Carrie's current success meant nothing. The last time, at the wedding, she'd only managed to cause a miscarriage. This time, she intended to go further-she would see to it that both Carrie and her unborn child died. Her gaze locked on Carrie's gently rounded belly, her eyes cold and sharp with murderous intent.
