Brenda and Amy, who were once the young ladies of the Newmans, had lost their arrogance and elegance. They stood at the villa’s entrance in ordinary clothing with not a piece of expensive jewelry in sight. Neither were any Hermès bags. They even took a taxi over because they did not have a car. The two families had sold everything they could to pay off their debts and had no choice but to live in rented houses. Although Amy and Brenda were born into the Newmans when they were not as rich as now, they were still well-off. The sisters had never experienced hardships or financial struggles. They obtained a generous amount of money from their parents when they got married because then the family had become wealthier. Their husbands’ families were equally rich. Now, despite being grandmothers, they were forced to live in poor conditions after losing their wealth. Job finding was difficult due to their old age and pampered attitude. The only job available for them was to be cle
So what if Dr. Carden was the legendary doctor’s best disciple?He was still human and there were bound to be illnesses and complex conditions that he could not cure. “Trenton, Trenton.”Amy and Brenda were delighted to see Trenton behind Camryn. Their nephew was easier to talk to compared to their niece.In the past, they would join Cain and Paige in bullying and abusing Camryn. Despite knowing Camryn was a victim, they remained as bystanders and wished for her death. That said, Camryn’s hatred and desire for revenge was understandable. In contrast, Amy and Brenda loved their one and only nephew. Prior to joining the fight for inheritance, they had hoped the Newman family could become more influential. That way, they could each hold more authority in their husband’s family and no one would have dared to look down on them. “Stop calling Trenton. He has no say in this.”Camryn walked over and talked to her aunts with the gates between them. Callum was not with her becaus
Brenda was terrified. She could not bear the thought of living another day as a house renter.She was broke. Her children faced challenges in looking for jobs. As they had upset York Corporation, no company would give them jobs or was hesitant for fear of retaliation from York Corporation.“Trenton! Trenton! Please put in a good word for me. Think about all the times I've been good to you. I'm sure you don’t want Camryn to drive me to the brink, right?”Trenton was surprised to see his aunts pleading with him. He looked at his solemn sister, who showed no signs of budging. He guessed that his aunts must have done something to her while he was not in Wiltspoon.“Aunt Brenda, Aunt Amy, Camryn is the head of the house. I don’t know why she would do that to you, but she’s not a ruthless person. She must have her reasons. Did you do something to her?”Trenton trusted his sister wholeheartedly. Camryn would not have messed with their aunts if they had not crossed the line. Trenton rec
Trenton scowled. In the past, Trenton nearly believed his aunts and turned against Camryn. Thank goodness his conscience drove him to do the right thing, and he did not fall for his aunts’ wicked plan. Brenda and Amy were now trying to drive a wedge between him and Camryn since they could not seek forgiveness from her. “I know who is to blame. You only got what you had coming. I don't care that you resent me. I enjoy watching you fail. You can't take what isn't yours. This is what you get for being greedy.”Camryn did not see the point of arguing with Brenda and Amy. She had watched her aunts reap what they had sown, and that was enough. “Let’s go inside, Trenton.” Camryn whisked Trenton away. “You’ll regret it, Camryn! You’ll rot in hell!” Brenda yelled as Camryn and Trenton walked away. Camryn walked to the door and told the housekeeper, “Unleash the hounds in the backyard. If my aunts come back to stir up trouble, release the dogs. I don't want to give them any resp
“Don’t take anything they say to heart. Don’t believe their nonsense. If you can’t trust me, what makes you think you can trust them?” Trenton nodded his head. He trusted Camryn. “Camryn, I won’t fall for their lies again.” Camryn gave a nod and said, “You’re the kindest, most righteous person in the family. You stick to your true self, and you don't let anyone else, not even your parents, dictate your beliefs. You are your own person."Paige often told Trenton to bond more with Carrie because they were siblings while Camryn was just his half-sister. Trenton did not listen to his mother. He had always been fond of Camryn and could not help but cling to her, no matter what others thought.“Can you tell me what happened while I was in school, Camryn?” Trenton knew Camryn was harsh, but not to the point of being unsympathetic. Camryn initially did not take much action against her aunts, Brenda and Amy. If they had not fought for the inheritance, she would have turned a bli
Carrie would soon be forgotten by the world. Once she finished serving her sentence, it would be hard for her to make a comeback. Camryn did not plan on letting her half-sister get away with the multiple setups; returning the favor, an eye for an eye. She thought she was being kind by not doing worse to Carrie.While Trenton and Camryn were talking, Callum was cooking in the kitchen. Trenton inhaled the delicious aroma and said, “I’m impressed with Callum’s cooking, Camryn. The food smells so good. I’m starving."Camryn grinned. “He makes delicious food. Nana is a social elite like no other. She has a different approach in raising kids. Callum, his brothers, and his cousins all can cook, thanks to her.“Nana forced her grandsons into the kitchen so she could have any food she wanted. But really, she was teaching them to be independent. No one knows how long wealth will last in the family, so it’s best to learn some skills. “At least they can be independent enough to take care
Trenton said, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re calling me a glutton for eating just about anything.” “I didn’t call you that. You said it yourself. You’re not a fussy eater, are you?” Trenton was speechless. He was not picky with his food but Callum made it sound like he was a glutton. Trenton believed he did not look like one. “Callum, teach me how to cook.” “I am available to teach you whenever. It depends on whether you have time. You’re busy with college.” Callum reminded Trenton that he had to make time available to learn. Trenton replied, “Please teach me when I’m back for the summer holidays.” “Alright. I will teach you whatever you want to learn so long as I know the recipe. I won’t hold anything back.” Callum was happy to share his knowledge with Trenton especially when he was eager to bond as in-laws. No one becomes a master chef overnight. It took time, effort, and dedication to learn culinary arts.Grandma May had taught the York boys since they we
Callum had always been considerate of his fiancée. Before Camryn regained her vision, he had always been attentive to her when they ate together. Camryn loved eating fish, even with the bones. Callum would remove the bones from the fish for her, so she could enjoy the meal without any risk of choking.His attentiveness had become a habit. Callum served Camryn a generous portion of his cooking, and Camryn did the same for Trenton. She said, "Try Callum’s food. It’s good enough to rival a Michelin-star chef."Trenton enjoyed a hearty meal. He was so full that he had to lean against the wall for support.He then collapsed onto the sofa and rubbed his round belly. Callum cleared the table and washed the dishes before walking out of the kitchen. Seeing that Trenton looked stuffed, Callum approached him and said amusedly, “It’s not like you won’t get food for the next few days. Why did you eat so much?” “I couldn’t resist your food, Callum. You put love into your cooking. I couldn
