Half an hour later, Mrs. Clark brought Carrie to a motel. It was a small, mediocre motel. Although Carrie did not say anything, she mentally complained that Mrs. Clark was stingy for not giving her a room in a five-star hotel. Mrs. Clark booked a room for Carrie before ordering someone to bring a bag from the car and pass it to Carrie. She said, “These are new clothes. You can come back down here after bathing and changing. I’ll take you out for a meal.”Carrie accepted the bag and went to her room upstairs. Despite having spent some time in prison, the haughty nature she had from growing up in a privileged environment remained. She hated the motel. Carrie did not take a long time to wash up. She changed into the clothes Mrs. Clark had prepared for her after a quick shower. Then, she blew her hair dry and stared at her reflection in the mirror for some time before combing her hair. She had lost a lot of weight. However, she still looked beautiful as she was young.“I won’t
A hint of hatred flashed across Carrie’s eyes. She said, “In that kind of environment, most people get straightened out.“You mentioned you wanted me to provide you with information, Mrs. Clark. How much will you pay me?”Carrie was unemployed. After going to prison, her stuff was sent to her parents but belongings like her phone, bank card, and car keys were probably with Camryn when her parents were also jailed. While Carrie could retrieve those things from Camryn, she still had no say in Newman Enterprise. Not only was she unfamiliar with the company, but Camryn also had Dalton and Callum’s support.Moreover, Camryn had probably been entirely in charge of the Newmans’ family finances after being the head of the family for some time. Carrie felt disgusted at the thought of her needing to ask Camryn for her allowance. Mrs. Clark said gently, “You only have to find out information about Serenity and send it to me promptly. She’s the York family’s missus now. Everything she doe
Carrie thought, ‘I’ll have all the money I need after taking back what’s mine. Do I even need Mrs. Clark’s money?’Nevertheless, she hated Serenity and wished to see her suffer. Anyway, someone was willing to deal with Serenity now and Carrie simply had to gather some information without even needing to meet Serenity in person. She found it doable. Carrie said, “I’ll prove myself, but I was just released. My phone and bank cards are probably with Camryn now. We’ve been enemies ever since I can remember. She’ll never return those things to me. I need some money to work around.”Mrs. Clark handed a bank card to Carrie and said, “Of course. Here’s thirty thousand dollars for you to spend.“If you’re truly capable, you can go to the Newmans’ villa to take back what’s rightfully yours after this. Even if you fail, try getting your phone and bank card at least.”Carrie accepted the card and asked, “What’s the PIN?”“Six eights.”Carrie pocketed the bank card. Mrs. Clark was sting
Carrie cleared the food served on the table without minding her image at all. Mrs. Clark only managed to eat a few spoonfuls. She smiled as she watched Carrie gobbling everything down. After Carrie was done eating and wiping her mouth with a satisfied expression, Mrs. Clark asked, “Are you going back on your own, or shall I have someone send you?”“I’ll take the taxi, but I’m afraid you’ll have to pay the taxi fare upfront for me.”Mrs. Clark nodded. “Sure. You can take the taxi back.”She then handed Carrie a thousand dollars in cash and said, “This is for the taxi.”Carrie kept the money and did not linger any longer. She got up and told Mrs. Clark, “Thank you for the meal. Looking forward to a pleasant partnership.”Mrs. Clark nodded with a smile. “I believe we’ll work well together.”Carrie departed and Mrs. Clark paid the bill before leaving the diner upon seeing Carrie get into the taxi. Her subordinates were waiting for her. Once in her car, she said to the person in
After writing the prescription, Lilian passed it to Callum and said, “Do you still have the medicine I sent over previously? Get these newly prescribed ones and let Camryn have them with the previous medications.“I’ll examine her again when she’s done with the new prescription. Bring her out on strolls more often if you have time.”“Thank you, Dr. Carden,” Callum said earnestly. He would prepare Camryn’s medicine personally every day to ensure they were the right ones and had not been tampered with. Lilian teased Camryn about this before. Callum was the most attentive caregiver she had ever seen throughout her practice. She said Camryn would definitely have the sweetest and happiest life in the future.Spring finally arrived for Camryn when she met Callum as her life before him had been an endless, brutal winter. Although she received Dalton’s help later on, she had suffered a lot and was even abused when she was young. “The eye wash solution is running out, Dr. Carden. Does
Lilian’s words made Camryn realize that Paige played a role in her infertility.She had always thought it was due to her poor eating and sleeping routine during puberty and the abuse she had endured. She did not expect Paige to have done something else to her. Was her mother really the culprit?Even wild beasts would look after their young. Her mother was truly no better than an animal. On the contrary, Paige was extremely caring toward Carrie and Trenton. Her love for them was sincere. She simply disliked Camryn, the child who resembled her the most. If Camryn had a choice, she wished to take after her dad’s features more than her mom’s. Sadly, she looked strikingly similar to Paige. Callum thanked Lilian once again. Lilian smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, preparing a feast for me before I return to Annenburg will be sufficient.”Callum’s cooking skills were superb. Although Tim cooked too, he was not as good as Callum. C
Lilian’s husband, Tim, disliked it when she visited the Yorks, especially when she praised Callum’s cooking. He would also say that Lee’s cooking skills were comparable to Callum’s.Lilian agreed that Lee’s and Callum’s cooking were similar, but there was still a distinction.Moreover, Lee seldom cooked. As his sister-in-law, Lilian was too embarrassed to always ask her brother-in-law to cook for her.Thus, the best solution was to ask Callum to give some cooking tips to her personal chef.Callum readily agreed.Camryn and Callum watched as Lilian got into the car. Callum’s mom, Rosella, arranged a driver for Lilian during her stay in Wiltspoon because she came specially to treat Camryn’s eyes. Rosella was grateful and treated Lilian as an honored guest.She also paid for all of Lilian’s expenses in Wiltspoon.“Camryn, let’s go back inside. It’s quite hot out here.”Callum took his fiancée’s hand and walked toward the main house.When they got to the door, they heard someone s
#Camryn laughed.She was aware that Zachary enjoyed being jealous, but now it seemed that Callum was also a little green-eyed monster.Carrie stood at the entrance. She was furious when she saw Callum holding Camryn’s hand. The two of them slowly walked toward her.While Carrie was in jail, Camryn fell in love with Callum, who was as handsome as Zachary. Zachary was serious and aloof, while Callum was much friendlier. If Carrie could choose between them, she would choose Callum.However, Carrie was not given this opportunity.First of all, Carrie was in her early twenties. Even if her parents did not end up in jail, they would not let her get married so quickly. They would want her at home for a few more years.Secondly, she rarely had the chance to meet the York brothers, let alone date one of them.When Carrie saw Camryn and Callum standing together, she had to admit that they were a good-looking couple, which drove her mad with jealousy.Carrie thought to herself, ‘That blin
