Who knew if this young lady might be a suitor for one of the young masters?This young woman was Carrie.After getting out of the car, she walked directly to the security booth window and began hitting the guard with her phone.He did not expect her to become physically aggressive, so he was not prepared. He received a light tap from her. Once he realized what happened, he quickly stood up and backed away, avoiding a second attack from Carrie.“Why did you hit me?”“I hit you just because you’re a watchdog, what’s the matter? Let me tell you, let me through immediately! Do you know who I am? I’m Camryn’s sister, her own sister! I’m the sister-in-law of Callum York. If you dare block me and prevent me from going up the hills, you’re asking for a beating!”Camryn’s sister?In the past, the Newman family did not have much interaction with the York family. Most of the staff at the villa only knew that Camryn had a brother who was in college. There had been no mention of a sister by
Despite that, one of the guard dogs managed to bite Carrie on the foot.Camryn was not at home. Without her permission, the butler did not allow Carrie inside. Instead, he gave her some money to get vaccinated at the hospital.Terrified by the encounter with the dogs, Carrie grabbed the cash and quickly fled. Before leaving, she made it clear that she would settle scores with Camryn.This morning, with the company of her two cousins, she returned to the Newmans’ villa. Only then did she find out that Camryn had gone to spend the weekend at Wildridge Manor with Callum.Carrie was furious.On the spot, she set out with her two cousins via a taxi and headed straight for Wildridge Manor.Carrie had let her be bitten by the guard dogs, and she was determined to hold Camryn accountable. She also planned to report to the few Mrs. Yorks, exposing Camryn’s cruelty beneath her seemingly benevolent exterior.After all, they were still biological sisters from the same mother despite their po
A few minutes later, the taxi driver dropped the three of them off at the entrance of the manor.“Here you go, folks, we’ve arrived. Who’s paying the fare?”The two cousins got out of the car, lost in their own thoughts.They were only there to bolster Carrie’s confidence, so they did not want to reach into their own pockets to fork out more expenses.They were no longer the pampered young masters of wealthy families. They had bidden farewell to their days of extravagant spending. Now they worked regular jobs, earned a few thousand bucks a month, and had to support their wives and children. They needed to be frugal.Unlike Carrie.Despite her bitter feud with Camryn, she was still a young lady of the Newman family and had a share in the family’s wealth.Once she returned to the Newman family and reclaimed her bank cards, phone, and car keys, she would have endless wealth. This taxi fare had to be on Carrie.Observing her two cousins getting out without any intention of paying
The Chandlers and Joyners were willing to accompany Carrie and provide moral support with this sneaky plan. Carrie was much easier to manipulate compared to Camryn.They once thought Camryn was just a blind girl who liked to sell flowers and had underestimated her.Little did they know that Camryn was the most formidable among the three children in the Newman family. They had all been fooled by her.“Carrie, we are here to help you. Initially, we were doing well in the company. But Camryn somehow managed to manipulate a certain Mr. Mitchell, who then conspired with her to kick us out of the company. It was her tactics that landed her the company.“She is your sister by blood. After your parents were imprisoned, you weren’t home and Trenton was still a kid. She overtook the Newman Enterprise without resistance, and even the top executives had nothing to say because of this Mitchell guy assisting her.”“Uncle Cain had always had an eye for people, but this time he fell for the tric
“Ms. Carrie had been on a long vacation for most of the year, and she had just returned today. When she got back, she found no one at home, so she came over here to get the keys from her sister to unlock the door.”He crafted a little lie.Carrie preferred to keep her imprisonment a secret. When she was imprisoned, only the upper echelons of society were aware, and ordinary people would not have followed the details of Carrie's time in jail. That was why Derrick fabricated this story. The two security guards exchanged a glance.Ms. Camryn’s younger sister?They had not heard about Camryn having a sister.They had seen Camryn’s brother and cousins, but they did not match the appearance of the two men standing before them. These guards knew that Camryn had three aunts, but their relationships were not amicable. The two elder aunts had a poor relationship with Camryn and were not well-received, so they were never invited to the estate. Only Aunt Evelyn’s family had visited Wildr
“Carrie.”Edward said softly, “Don’t be impulsive.”He then smiled and spoke to the security guard, “We’ll just wait here; it’s not a big deal. We’ll enter when Ms. Camryn is ready to see us.”Carrie pursed her lips and remained silent, seething inside.The person whom she used to scold at will was now out of her reach.Being a woman who married into the York family made a big difference.Camryn was not even legally married to Callum, merely engaged, but that alone set her apart as more superior than Carrie.In her heart, Carrie cursed and hoped that Callum would eventually grow tired of Camryn and abandon her. If that happened, she would buy a carload of fireworks to celebrate.Upon receiving the security guard’s call, the butler replied, “Ms. Camryn has a younger sister who previously harmed Ms. Serenity and was sent to prison by her. Is she out of prison now? Ms. Camryn and her sister don’t have a good relationship. Her sister often bullies her. Let me ask Ms. Camryn whether
“I mean in Wiltspoon. I can get any information I wish and nothing can hide from me. Carrie has nothing to do with me, and I don’t even remember what she looks like. She has nothing that interests me.”“Alright, alright, I misunderstood you. Please have your tea.”Jasmine picked up the teacup and handed it to her husband and asked him to stop talking.Josh accepted and took a sip before asking, “Callum, what’s the deal with your sister-in-law?”“She had good conduct time. She got out yesterday and returned to the Newman family’s villa. Without the keys, she couldn’t enter the house, that’s all.” Callum was unhappy about hearing that Carrie was his sister-in-law, but he could not argue about it since she was indeed his sister-in-law.Regardless of whether the Newman sisters had bad blood or not, it could not change the fact that they were biological siblings.Camryn calmly said, “They lived in my father’s house for over twenty years. Not only was she unkind to me, but she also a
All of this was known to them.Even before they knew Camryn, once they learned what the days had been for Camryn at her house, they wished Carrie could be imprisoned forever.Therefore, when Camryn took action against Carrie now, they did not think it was excessive. Instead, they felt that her actions were minor and would not cause any real harm.Callum held Camryn’s hand and supported her silently. No matter what decision she made, he would stand by her.She had faced many challenges to reach this point, and she was still standing.She was one hell of a woman, or else she would not have survived until today.She intended to make things difficult for Carrie. Compared to what Paige and Carrie did to her, her retaliation was nothing.Camryn turned to her fiancé and smiled but she did not utter a word and simply held his hand.She would neither be easily defeated nor forgive someone.Carrie waited with Derrick and Edward at the entrance of the manor, anticipating a response.The
“Josh was very mischievous when he was young. I’d never think he could be that naughty until I heard my mother-in-law telling me stories from his younger days.”Jasmine had always been under the impression that Josh was gentlemanly and more approachable than Zachary.After their marriage, he treated her well and doted on her a lot.Jasmine did not have to worry about a thing because she could always turn to Josh for help.However, such a man used to be a troublemaker when he was younger. He would climb every wall he saw and give his parents terrible headaches.“Nana brought her daughters-in-law out to gallivant,” Serenity said as she stared at her phone.She just saw Grandma May’s post on Instagram. It was a video of her with Rosella and Sasha. “Nana didn’t even tell me that she was heading out,” Serenity muttered and caressed her bump. She sighed. “I can only travel after this baby is born. Zachary and I haven’t even gone on our honeymoon. He’ll make it up to me after I give
Meanwhile, Serenity, Elisa, and Jasmine were in the office of their fresh produce company.However, the only person working was Elisa.The two pregnant women were simply there to watch her and pass the time.“Has Dylan’s livestream of him eating chili peppers ended?”Jasmine had just returned from the bathroom. She got curious when she saw her two friends no longer watching their phones.“It ended long ago. Imogen stopped him before it even got to fifteen minutes. She got soft-hearted too quickly.”Serenity was eating a plate of fruits. She said, “The person who falls in love first will always give in quickly.”“Dylan can’t eat spicy food. Eating chili peppers for more than ten minutes is enough. He might really die from the heat if he continues.”Elisa smiled and said, “Well, it’s not as if Dylan isn’t in love too. At least he was willing to eat hot chili peppers for Imogen. He even ate them for over ten minutes. From the livestream, it seemed like the chili peppers Layla had
Grandma May had the next two months all planned out.She would gallivant to other places for two months.Half a month after her return, she would become a great-grandmother. Rosella had no opinions. She would simply follow her mother-in-law’s plans.She left and returned to her place to pack her luggage. However, she met Sasha on the way back. When Sasha asked what she was up to, she told Sasha about the plan. Sasha ended up wanting to tag along.Just as Grandma May was ready to leave with Rosella and Sasha, Tania returned home. Upon seeing her mother-in-law taking her two sisters-in-law to roam, Tania held Grandma May’s hand and insisted on going with them.Grandma May was speechless. She glanced at Rosella, who smiled sheepishly.Ultimately, Grandma May and her three daughters-in-law left Wildridge Manor together.When her sons returned home and realized their wives had been “kidnapped” by their mother, they were utterly dumbfounded.Liam immediately called Zachary and co
“Yeah. I thought of that old man. He left me alone in this world so soon.”Grandma May wiped her tears. “I’ll stop thinking about him. I’m more fortunate than him to be able to see my grandsons get married. If I am luckier, I might even live to see Rowan married too.“However, I want nothing more than to have a great-granddaughter before I die. My husband’s biggest regret before he passed away was not having a daughter or granddaughter.”Rosella consoled her. She said, “You’ll definitely be able to live a long life, Mom. You’ll live till you’re a hundred and twenty years old, see Rowan get married, and carry your great-granddaughter. You have nine grandsons and granddaughters-in-law. Surely one of the pairs will be able to give birth to a daughter.”Actually, Rosella was not too confident about it.After all, the York family had not had a baby girl born into their family for three generations. While there were a few daughters before that, they all passed away at a very young age.
Grandma May was truly the anchor of the York family.Nine of her grandsons were nurtured into talented young men who could hold their own. Even if York Corporation was gone, they could start anew and rise again with their capabilities.Of course, with such capable grandsons, York Corporation would only reach greater heights. It would never fall.Grandma May did not have other wishes aside from hoping she could live to see a daughter being born into the York family and Rowan growing up into an adult.After completing her late husband’s wishes, she could meet him in the afterlife without regrets.Grandma May recalled her marriage with Old Mr. York. She had accompanied him to build an empire when they were young, and they educated their grandchildren after they retired. She thought they could grow old together. Well, they did grow old together, but he passed away before she did.Time flew, and a few years have passed since then.When Old Mr. York passed away, none of the York bro
Imogen knew many powerful people.She had great connections.Upon learning that Dylan had told Grandma May that he could not fall in love with Imogen last year, Rosella complained to her husband that it was Dylan’s loss. How could he give up on an elite daughter and choose a fox instead?Moreover, he still did not know that woman’s name or background even after pursuing her for over half a year.His brothers also refused to help him to obtain any information.Clearly, they wanted Dylan to have a hard time. His elder and younger brothers had listened to their nana. He was the only one who went against her arrangements. It was no surprise that the York brothers did not want to help Dylan.It was only in the new year that Rosella found out Imogen was the Chameleon Fox that Dylan had been pursuing all along and she was also Silver’s student, Sugar.Imogen had even been to Wildridge Manor several times as Sugar. At that time, Rosella could sense that Grandma May was playing matchma
Immediately, someone brought a large cup of water for Dylan. Imogen took the cup and handed it to him, urging him to drink. Dylan accepted the cup and drank it all in one go, which eased the spiciness in his mouth a little. “Imogen, your cousin said I need to finish these peppers, but I haven’t even eaten half yet.” Dylan looked at the basket of peppers and saw that he had not eaten even half of them. He had never eaten this much spice in his life. Right now, his throat felt like it was on fire, and his voice was hoarse. The intense heat was affecting him badly.If this had happened in Wiltspoon where the climate was warmer, after eating so many peppers, his throat would have been terribly inflamed, and he probably would have an upset stomach and a serious case of indigestion. Then, he would be stuck in the toilet for half a day.However, since it was cold in Huntington, eating a little chili every day was not a problem, though not as much as Dylan had just eaten. His stomach
“Did you need me for something, Layla?” Imogen, despite being in a rush to stop Dylan from continuing to eat the chili peppers, asked Layla.“Of course, I came to talk to you about work,” Layla replied.“But the discussion might take a while. Are you going to discuss work with me first, or go downstairs to stop Dylan from eating more peppers first?”Imogen hesitated for a moment but decided to stop Dylan first. Layla guessed that her cousin would choose Dylan and sighed inwardly. Imogen was already wrapped around Dylan's finger. However, Dylan had not entirely escaped Imogen’s influence either. Though he had not fallen in love with Imogen herself, he had fallen for her alter ego, who was still her cousin in the end.Fortunately, the woman Dylan loved was her cousin's alias. If he had chosen another woman, Layla would never have allowed her cousin to take him back. The Doyle ladies did not settle for second place.“Layla, give me about ten minutes.”“Alright, I’ll wait for you
It was already so spicy, there was no way it could get worse. Thus, following his family's advice, he began grabbing huge handfuls of chili peppers and stuffed them into his mouth. The heat made his eyes water, and it felt like his mouth was swelling from the spice. Imogen also saw the comments and watched as Dylan continued to eat the peppers in large mouthfuls. She turned off the livestream, not wanting to keep watching. However, her heart was in such a mess that she could not focus on her work. A few minutes later, she tossed her pen aside, pushed her chair away from the table as she stood up, and walked out quickly. She ran into Layla as soon as she left the office.“Layla,” Imogen called out. “You heading out?” To be honest, Layla knew the answer without asking. “He’s eaten quite a lot of chili peppers already. He doesn’t usually eat spicy food. And eating so much at once will harm his stomach.” Imogen still felt sorry for Dylan. Layla smiled, “If you're worried
