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
Carrie shouted, “Open the gate. I want to go in!”Under Callum’s glare, Carrie dared not call Camryn a blind bitch anymore, but she still insisted on going into the house.Callum said coldly, “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Camryn said? She can’t open for you because she can’t see. If you want to come in, help yourself. If it doesn’t open, just stay outside.”“I don’t have a key. How can I get in? The gate is locked!”Carrie was furious.If she had the key, then there was no need to talk to the blind bitch and she would have already opened the gate and gone inside.Ignoring Carrie, Callum held his fiancée and said gently, “Camryn, it’s hot outside. Let’s get back into the house.”Camryn followed Callum’s lead and turned around.“Bli—Camryn, open the gate! This is my house! I want to go home!”Callum turned his head and glowered at her. Carrie immediately shut up and watched indignantly as the couple walked away until they disappeared into the house.Carrie stomped her fee
Carrie was furious.November was not as sunny as summer but remained rather warm in Wiltspoon for this time of the year. Even during winter, one could get by with a long-sleeved shirt on a sunny day, not to mention that it was barely winter now.Carrie felt hot after standing under the sun for a long time.Her face turned red, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.She kept cursing Camryn until her mouth went dry with nothing to quench her thirst.Camryn had already entered the house, so no matter how loud Carrie yelled, Camryn might not be able to hear her.Carrie looked up and assessed the gate. With the gaps, she could still climb over if she was careful. She decided to climb over the gate which she did immediately.On the other hand, Camryn was in her room on the second floor. She stood by the windowsill, looking at the gate.Since she had not fully regained her eyesight, she could not see clearly from a distance. She asked the man next to her, “Is Carrie gone?”
