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?”
At this time, the four dogs barked at Carrie.Carrie’s face was as white as sheets. She quickly climbed back out. When she saw the dogs rushing toward her, she was so frightened that she let go of her hands and fell from the top.The fall gave a loud thud on the ground.It was immensely painful.However, Carrie could not care less about the pain when the dogs were throwing themselves at her through the gaps of the gate. She quickly sat up and backed away, fearing that the dogs would bite her.Carrie only calmed down after she was far away, knowing that the canines could not pass through the gate.Fortunately, she fell outside the gate because if it was the other side, the dogs would have bitten her.Right then, Carrie felt the pain.She fell from the highest point of the gate, which was close to seven feet high, so it was a painful fall.Carrie thought, ‘That damned blind bitch must have released the dogs on me!’Never had it crossed her mind that Camryn would keep such feroc
Carrie also had the idea of publishing her story online and hiring influencers to share her post to pressure Camryn with public opinion and ruin her reputation.The Yorks were the richest family in Wiltspoon, so they would care about their good name. If Camryn’s reputation was ruined, then the Yorks might not approve of her as a daughter-in-law.Carrie walked away from the Newman villa while rubbing her sore behind.She had to walk a long distance before she could hail a taxi because there was none available there. She did not have a phone either, so booking an Uber was out of the question.“Just you wait, blind bitch! I will make you pay!”Carrie cursed Camryn as she walked away. She recalled the way Callum shielded Camryn just now and said bitterly, “I will even steal your man!”Before Paige went to jail, she had planned for Carrie to marry one of the York men.Considering that Zachary was difficult to get along with, Carrie set her sights on Callum or Kevin because she felt t
At the Newman villa, Camryn went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall after Carrie was scared off by the dogs.Callum poured her a glass of water. She thanked him and put down the glass instead of drinking it.He went to prepare a fruit platter and plated some of Camryn’s favorite snacks and the various pastries that he personally made for her.He then served the food on the coffee table.Callum sat down next to Camryn and said, “Eat something.”“I’m not hungry.”Callum smiled gently. “Have some snacks. It’ll make you feel better.”“I’m in a good mood.”Callum caressed Camryn’s face and tapped her delicate nose. “Come on. This isn’t the first day we’ve met. I know you’re not in a good mood.”Camryn leaned on Callum’s shoulder and said, “I’m six years older than Carrie. When she was born, my mother was mean to me, but I was still happy to have a little sister.“Carrie was actually very cute when she was a baby. I loved her very much, but I felt disheartened every time I
Camryn said, “Carrie is my sister, but we behave like enemies... Now, the tide has turned. It’s Carrie’s turn to suffer. I have the ability to take revenge, but when I do, I don’t feel happy about it. On the contrary, I feel sad.”Callum was aware that Paige had made Camryn’s life a living hell but Camryn rarely shared about her past. Now that she had opened up to him about her childhood, he was livid at her family and felt extremely distressed.Seeing his fiancée’s silent tears, Callum hugged her tightly, letting her lean against him.“Camryn, let it out. You’ll feel better after a good cry.“Not all siblings love each other, and not all parents are caring. Some people don’t deserve to be parents. We can’t choose our parents and siblings, but we can choose to stay away from those ruthless people.”Camryn wanted to take a tissue, but Callum quickly wiped away her tears.She wiped her tears too. Her voice was hoarse from crying, but she regained her strength. “It’s all in the past
Callum was not satisfied with the fleeting kiss, so he hugged Camryn and kissed her passionately. After the kiss, Callum said, “I know you’re not a saint. I like your way of doing things. You’re just like me. We’re really meant for each other.”“You’re so thick-skinned.”“I won’t be able to have you in my arms if I’m not.”Camryn was speechless.When they heard footsteps, the couple let go of each other.The butler walked in and approached the couple, reporting respectfully, “Ms. Camryn, I have sent someone to follow Carrie. After she left, she borrowed the security guard’s phone to make a call.”The butler gave Camryn the phone number that was written on a piece of paper.“Carrie called this number. They didn’t chat for too long.”Camryn took the small piece of paper with Mrs. Clark’s new phone number written on it. She looked at it and asked, “Whose number is this? None of the Newmans use this number.”She raised her head and said to the butler, “Keep an eye on Carrie’s wh
Hearing this, Camryn looked up at Callum and asked with a smile, “Already? I heard Seren mention that Alice’s due date was next month. How did she already give birth so soon?”“The baby arrived two weeks before the due date, but he’s not premature.”“It’s still early. Why don’t we visit Alice before going back to the manor?”Audrey was Serenity’s aunt, so the Yorks and the Stones were considered relatives. Alice had just given birth, so they should go and visit her.“Alright.”Camryn stood up immediately and said, “I’ll prepare some gifts. By the way, I bought a few gold lockets a while back. Should I give it now or wait until they host the baby’s sip and see shower? I think I should buy a few sets of new clothes for the baby too.”“Just bring a simple gift and save the rest for the party. Why did you buy several gold lockets?”Camryn went to prepare some supplements as gifts and said, “Jas and Seren are both expecting, so I prepared a couple of lockets for the babies to welcome
“Alice.”Camryn smiled and walked to the bedside.Alice responded with a smile, “Hello, Camryn. Please have a seat.”Camryn pulled a chair closer to Alice and sat down.Alice watched her actions, momentarily forgetting to check on her crying son. She asked, “Camryn, can you see clearly now?”She knew Lilian had come to treat Camryn’s eyes, but she was not aware of the progress.She rarely went out during the later stages of her pregnancy and Clive seldom shared information about her with other people either.Alice vaguely remembered her sister-in-law mentioning that Lilian was confident in restoring Camryn’s vision, and she had responded that it was good news. They all felt sympathetic for Camryn, and they hoped she would regain her sight.“Yes, I can see things clearly up close, but things in the distance are still blurry. It’s like people with severe nearsightedness.”Camryn replied warmly and added, “Alice, you should lie down. Sitting for too long isn’t recommended during
