Spring Blossoms was situated in the city center. As the shop was not far from Wiltspoon Hotel, Callum and Camryn arrived at the hotel shortly.Coincidentally, Trenton was walking out of the hotel while carrying a bag. They wondered where he was heading. Callum swiftly got out of the car and said to Camryn, “Trenton is going out. Let me stop him first. Take your time and be careful when you get out of the car.”“Alright. Hurry up and stop him. I can get out of the car on my own.”She was forced to take a ride in his car frequently whenever she went out. Since she was familiar with it, she could get in and out of the car without falling down.Callum quickened his pace toward Trenton, who had probably booked a Uber ride in advance. Trenton walked toward the car at the hotel entrance and opened the door to get in.“Trenton.”Trenton turned around and looked at Callum, who was walking toward him. Subsequently, Trenton’s eyes settled on Camryn, who was approaching him with a white ca
Deep down, Trenton understood that the Chandlers and Joyners strove to bail his father for the sake of their personal gains. This was because the Chandlers and Joyners would not be able to gain any benefits after Camryn took over Newman Enterprise.Currently, Camryn was in control of the Newman residence, which made it difficult for her aunts to take advantage of the family.They even went all out to defame Camryn.“Your sister is independent. She dislikes relying on me and is afraid of being a drag to me. By keeping an eye on her, I can guarantee her safety. Just let her do whatever she wants.”Callum added gently, “I’ve contacted Dr. Carden to treat Camryn’s eyes, but we have to prepare for the worst. If Dr. Carden says there’s no hope of recovery, Camryn can only live in darkness forever.“In fact, she feels inferior when she’s with me, but she hides her feelings well. So, I want to make her feel that she’s not a drag to me and that she can take care of herself. This way, she c
Callum was holding Camryn, but she did not need him to do so. Callum said, “Let me help you, or Trenton will blame me for being inconsiderate and incapable of taking good care of you as I left you to walk alone earlier.“He’s worried that you’re unfamiliar with the way, which might cause you to hit something or fall.”Upon hearing that, Camryn allowed Callum to hold her again. She said, “Trenton still cares about me.”“Both of you are siblings. Blood is thicker than water. Of course, he cares about you.”While walking, Camryn said, “He’s a good boy. He has respected me since he was young. His parents protected him very well, and he wasn’t corrupted by them.”In the past, Camryn treated her brother badly but she actually cared about him.Among the Newmans, Trenton was the only person who treated Camryn as a family member back then. After entering the cafe, Trenton ordered three cups of coffee, one for each of them.Camryn took a seat. Then, she stretched out her hand to touch h
After a pause, Camryn said gently, “Trenton, Newman Enterprise is our family’s company, so it’s our business. If you are to side with someone, you should side with me. Bear in mind that you’re eligible for the assets of the company.“Once college starts, work hard and don’t overthink things. We, adults, will settle our issues. Don’t be overly frugal. If you need money, just let me know. I’ll transfer money to your account.”Trenton looked at Camryn for some time before suddenly asking her, “Can you really bear to share our family’s wealth with me?”Trenton’s family told him that after Camryn took over Newman Enterprise, she would definitely dominate the company and forbid him from having a hand in it. She would not even share her family’s wealth with him because she hated his parents. Even though Trenton and Camryn shared the same mother, their mother treated Camryn awfully. Camryn probably perceived her mother to be nastier than Snow White’s stepmother. “Ouch.”Trenton was in
Callum rose to his feet. He lifted Camryn’s white cane and handed it to her. Then, he held her and walked.Trenton stood up as well. As he watched Camryn turn around and leave, his lips parted and he whispered, “Camryn.”It was not known whether Trenton’s call was left unheard or Camryn chose to ignore him. She neither stopped nor turned her head around.After pausing for a moment, Trenton stood up as Camryn was about to walk out of the cafe. He swiftly caught up with her and shouted, “Camryn.” This time, Camryn stopped in her tracks.However, she did not turn around.Everyone in the cafe turned their eyes to Camryn and Trenton.“Go and buy whatever you need. Book your flight in advance. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up on the day of your departure. You can move to my house if you want. It’ll forever be your home.”With that, Camryn strode away.“I’m sorry, Camryn.”Trenton apologized to her loudly.He should not have teased Camryn just now.Indeed, Camryn had been
“If I stop managing the company, will you be able to do it? Will you be able to learn the ways of business while studying? No, you won’t be able to manage the company. They’ll offer to help you manage the company.“After you hand over the company to them, do you think they’ll pass it back to you? Even if they do, it’ll end up as a shell company.”After Camryn finished speaking, she said to Callum, “Callum, let’s go.”“Alright.”Callum walked forward with Camryn while holding her thoughtfully. They exited the cafe and soon left Trenton.Trenton did not go after them. He stood still and guiltily watched Camryn leave.After some time, he averted his gaze. He returned to his seat in dejection and sat down. He lifted his cup and took a sip of coffee. Then, he put the cup down. He did not quite enjoy drinking coffee.He touched the part of his face that Camryn slapped. It was hot and probably swollen.Camryn slapped him out of fury.Despite being slapped by Camryn, Trenton did not h
Trenton did not conceal the truth. He admitted that Camryn was the one who slapped him. He even questioned Edward whether the latter had the courage to deal with Camryn.Edward choked. He then smiled wryly and said, “Camryn slapped you? Did she come to meet you? For what? Why did she slap you? Tsk. Camryn is really cruel. Half of your face is already swollen.“Trenton, you finally saw your sister’s true colors. She might usually seem nice, but she’s actually cruel despite her blindness. Once she has her eyes treated and her vision is restored, I’m afraid she’ll be crueler and put you in trouble.“Bear in mind that your parents are the cause of her father’s death. She’s probably mad at you because she hates your parents.“Don’t think that she’s treating you well and not turning against you now. That’s because she’s trying to make you drop your guard. When the time comes, she’ll do away with you mercilessly and cause you to lose everything. Perhaps, she might even induce you to commi
Edward did not stop Trenton and let him leave the cafe. After he left, Edward called his mother. When she picked up, he said, “Mom, Trenton is still unconvinced, but he might’ve fought with Camryn. He got slapped by Camryn, and one side of his face is swollen.”Upon hearing that, Mrs. Chandler said smugly, “That means our idea is working. You should pay more attention to Trenton and badmouth Camryn in front of him to ruin their relationship. I refuse to believe that Trenton doesn’t care at all.”Mrs. Chandler and her sister had negotiated with Camryn multiple times, but it did not work. They had always looked down on that niece of theirs as they were closer to Cain and were able to reap more benefits from him. Naturally, they would not treat Camryn well.Once Camryn took over Newman Enterprise, she started targeting the Chandlers and Joyners. Mrs. Chandler utterly despised Camryn. She did not understand how Camryn got so lucky to be blind but was still adored by Callum. They d
“If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,
Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re
Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.
Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,
It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in
“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
