“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
In her anger, Carrie turned and gave Derrick a resounding slap.A loud smack was heard.Derrick felt a stinging pain on his face.Without any hesitation, he returned a slap across Carrie’s face.Carrie never thought that Derrick would dare to touch her.Throughout her life, her cousins and relatives had always tried to appease her as much as she wanted. She was used to being pampered.Her aunts and uncles all catered to her desires, let alone her cousins.They all knew she was her parents’ most beloved child.Never did she expect her eldest cousin would hit her.She covered her face in disbelief and glared at Derrick, shouting, “You hit me! How dare you!”Derrick scolded her, “Who do you think you are? Are you still the grand Ms. Carrie from the Newman family? You’re just a woman who’s been to jail. Do you really think you can afford to be high and mighty like in the past?“Carrie, let me tell you, your mother won’t be getting out alive. She behaved so terribly in there, tha
The security called the butler again when they heard Carrie making a scene at the entrance. The butler said, “Chase her away if she continues.”“Okay.”Edward told Derrick off. “Why did you tell her to make a scene there? We won’t be able to escape unscathed if the Yorks are offended.”Derrick said furiously, “What’s there to be afraid of? We’ve lost everything. What can they do to us? Make us lose our jobs? Even if that happens, we can make a living off collecting recyclables. It pays well too.”“We might not even be able to do that.”Edward sighed. “You know how cruel they can be. Take Carrie away. Don’t let her make a fuss there.”Derrick did not utter a word. “Think about it. We still need her to go up against Camryn. It’s only legitimate if she does it. We’re just extended family and can’t be compared to biological daughters like them.”Derrick listened to Edward’s advice. They walked over and took Carrie away. They dragged her down the hill. Carrie was not as strong
Carrie had a taste of Camryn’s strength before. The blind girl used to be ordered around by their mom to complete house chores, which trained her strength. Camryn did not let go. When Carrie tried to pry Camryn’s hand away, Camryn lowered her head and bit Carrie’s hand. A high-pitched scream escaped Carrie’s mouth. “Camryn, sister. I won’t scold you or beat you up anymore. Let go of me. It hurts a lot.”Carrie admitted defeat amid the pain. Camryn left her to beg for a while before releasing her. Carrie withdrew her hand and trembled. There were traces of blood on the back of her hand from Camryn’s bite. Her wrist was red from the strong grip as well. When did the blind girl become so agile?Camryn was able to grab Carrie’s wrists and bite her hand with precision. Carrie glared at Camryn resentfully with tears in her eyes and if gaze could kill, Camryn would have been dead several times over. “This is my house, Camryn. I want to go home. You have no right to change
“My dad wrote a will before he passed away. The assets he possessed before his marriage were meant for me. Your mom exploited my young age and took what’s mine. She has already taken her share of the joint assets.”Camryn was only two years old when Abel died. However, many witnesses were around when he wrote the will and they wondered why he made one at such a young age. Aunt Evelyn said it was because he loved his daughter very dearly. Therefore, he named her the heir to all his personal assets and half of the joint assets. Camryn’s grandparents bought the villa for Abel. Hence, it was considered a personal asset to be passed down to her. The same applied to Newman Enterprise’s shares. Although the Newman family was not as wealthy before, they were not exactly poor either. The value of the assets Abel left for Camryn had increased significantly. Carrie was in disbelief after listening to Camryn’s retort. Did the house they had been living in all along belong to Camryn?
