After a moment of silence, Carrie told her aunts, “Aunt Amy, Aunt Brenda, since I have nowhere to go now, I’ll have dinner here. When my cousins return, I’ll ask them to head to the villa with me and deal with Camryn’s guard dogs. I won’t forget to repay you if I can get in.”“Sure, wait here and they can go with you after their work.”Upon hearing that Carrie would be generous to them, Amy and Brenda hosted Carrie with much enthusiasm. “What do you want to eat tonight, Carrie? Let me know. I’ll get the ingredients and cook for you. Don’t expect too much though. My cooking skills are average at best.”Although the Newmans were not rich initially, they were not that poor either. Amy and Brenda had never experienced hardships or poverty since birth. Even after growing up, they chose husbands with statuses similar to the Newmans. While they were not filthy rich, they lived a comfortable life and owned a few factories, so they were financially well-off compared to ordinary people.
If Camryn was not willing to sit and talk, then Carrie could sue her.“Aunt Brenda, Aunt Amy, my dad can apply for good conduct time, but my mother’s chances of coming out are relatively low.”Amy said, “Your mother isn’t doing well in prison. The last time Trenton went to see her, she didn’t speak much. Trenton said that she wanted to give up on life.”“That’s impossible! My mother won’t give up on herself as long as she has a chance to live. She can’t bear to leave my brother and I. Camryn taking over everything in the Newman family is not a sight she wants to see.”Carrie knew her mother well and believed that she would not want to die.Her mother had a heavy sentence with a small chance of being released during her lifetime.“Trenton said that Paige’s health has deteriorated severely and she has lost a lot of weight. Camryn tore apart our perfect family. How can she be so cruel? Abel has been dead for more than twenty years. Paige is her biological mother after all, yet she’s
“Trenton always sides with that blind bitch whenever I get into a fight with her. He doesn’t care who is wrong and always blames me for everything, saying that I don’t treat Camryn as a sister. Back then, he even complained to my father.”Carrie was dissatisfied with Trenton.Amy said, “Trenton is kind-hearted. He’s rarely at home, so he doesn’t know Camryn’s true colors. Carrie, I’m worried that you can’t defeat Camryn alone. She has the Yorks’ support now. When you get back your phone and bank card, you should go and visit Trenton.“He's an adult now. If you two join forces, you can defeat Camryn. After all, you and Trenton are siblings, so you two should be closer to each other. Camryn treats him well, so she’ll hold back, which will be good for you.”Carrie said, “That’s only if Trenton is willing to work with me. You said it yourself, he’s bewitched by that blind bitch and always on her side.”Carrie felt vexed that her only brother was so kind to Camryn. Hence, she asked her
Camryn adored Callum’s family very much.She was well aware that Rosella was many times better than her own mother who had ill-treated her.Rosella was genuinely kind to her, having never discriminated against her even when she was blind. When Amy and Brenda came complaining to Rosella about her being unfit to be Callum’s wife and trying to break them up, Rosella stood up for her. Camryn was very touched by this act.That was when Camryn started to treat Rosella as a mother figure and Rosella happily accepted it.She looked into Camryn’s eyes and asked, “Camryn, is your vision better? How far can you see?”“Aunt Rosella, you can ask Camryn later in the house.”Serenity smiled and said to Camryn, “Aunt Rosella knew you were coming back, so she rescheduled all her appointments with her friends and stayed home to wait for you. Nana also said she was coming back for dinner.”Zachary and Serenity visited Alice and headed back to Wildridge Manor for a rest. Camryn came over just in ti
Zachary declined without a second thought and said, “I’ll walk behind them and watch Serenity. If she’s tired from walking, I can carry her back.”Callum said, “Zack, you spoil your wife too much. You’re setting the bar too high for us men!”Serenity was athletic. Although she was pregnant, her belly was not showing yet. She no longer suffered from morning sickness, so she would have no problem walking a short distance. Why would Zachary need to carry Serenity?Zachary said innocently, “I’m just doing what I can for my wife. I’m not competing with any of you.”Callum was momentarily speechless. He smiled and said, “Yes, yes. You’re not trying to be the best at anything. You’re just setting an example for the rest of us, and we should all learn from you. If you’re not getting in, then I’ll go ahead.”Seeing that Zachary refused his offer, Callum drove away by himself.He caught up with the ladies in front, slowed down, and honked at them.Rosella turned around to see her son and
Serenity asked Camryn with concern while Rosella turned to look at Camryn.She wanted a grandchild, but she would not mind waiting for however long it would take. If the couple decided not to have a child, then Rosella would have to come to terms with it eventually.Callum and Camryn were adults who had their own ideas about the life they wanted to live. As long as they were happy, Rosella would be happy too.“Are you tired? Shall we sit in the pavilion?” Rosella asked Camryn when they arrived at the pavilion.Camryn said, “I’m not tired.”She wanted to go inside and greet everyone. It would not be polite to sit outside as soon as she arrived.“Dr. Carden said that my physical condition isn’t suitable for childbearing at the moment. I need to take medication for a period of time, but that will have to wait until my eyes recover.”Camryn calmly told Rosella the truth.She thought it would be better to let Callum’s family know as early as possible so that everyone could be mental
Camryn looked toward her future mother-in-law. Rosella could see through her thoughts. She tapped Camryn’s forehead and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I like you regardless of your health or fertility status. If I didn’t, I would’ve stopped Callum from wooing you. I wouldn’t have let your relationship progress this far.“When I first found out about you, you were still blind. I was aware that your aunt has been searching for a cure for your eyes for a decade but to no avail.“We’ll accept you however you are as long as Callum is happy.”Camryn was touched. She said, “Thank you for letting me experience the warmth and love a family can bring.”Rosella adored Camryn as she would a biological daughter. “Who else will I love if not my daughter-in-law? Don’t feel burdened, Camryn. Trust Dr. Carden and us.”Camryn nodded vigorously. She believed in them. The three women chatted as they walked toward the main house where Callum was waiting for them. The gifts were placed in
Callum could finally spend some quality time with Camryn. He held the presents in one hand while holding Camryn’s hand in the other. He only dared to start complaining after they had walked a distance away. Camryn said, “I think you’re enjoying yourself though.”She took her phone out and withdrew her hand from Callum’s. “My phone kept ringing just now. I don’t know who’s been sending me so many messages. I didn’t look at them because I was talking to Mom.”She opened WhatsApp. The messages were from her butler. It was a bunch of pictures and videos. After scrolling through them, Camryn told Callum, “I knew Carrie would look for the Joyners and Chandlers to help her, but the new number doesn’t belong to my aunts.“After investigating, we found the number was registered to a certain last name Gordon. I can’t think of anyone I know with that name. I asked Dal about this. He said no one in Newman Enterprise has that surname. None of Uncle Cain’s previous connections went by Gor
