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?
Camryn turned to feel for the car. Then, she moved her hands along the car and opened the door. After getting in, she told the driver, “Send me back inside.”Next, she informed the butler, “Let Carrie in.”Carrie dropped her suspicions when she saw Camryn feeling the car. She was sure that Camryn was still blind. She had nothing to worry about anymore. Her priority was to retrieve her phone and bank card. A few minutes later, Carrie and Camryn went upstairs, with Carrie leading the way. She was afraid Camryn would suddenly change her mind and order someone to chase her out. Now that all the employees were changed, no one would listen to her. Carrie wanted to get her belongings as soon as possible. Camryn walked at a relaxed pace. She even answered Callum’s call halfway and talked to him for some time while standing at the staircase. She continued her way up after the long call. As soon as she was on the second floor, she saw Carrie exiting a room with a new Hermès b
Carrie was shocked. The house did belong to Camryn.It was her family that had been occupying Camryn’s house all along. She remembered that her family owned other houses, but none of them were as big as this villa. They were used to living there, and Camryn’s presence was nearly nonexistent. Even the maid could bully her. Who would have cared that the house belonged to her?Camryn took the title deed from Carrie’s hands. Then, she called the butler and ordered, “Bring someone up to get Carrie out.”“Camryn, who said this house belongs to you? The name on the title deed is my mom’s. This is my mom’s house, so it’s mine by extension too. You’re the one who’s supposed to get out.”Camryn had an ambiguous smile. She said, “I’ve regained my sight after Dr. Carden’s treatments, Carrie. Do you think I can’t read? The name on the title deed is mine.“Your family has never paid a single penny all these years. You should leave the stuff in your room behind as payment for twenty years
Carrie did her best to keep the money, but she was not able to fight against two strong servants. She wondered where Camryn found such strong employees. All the cash was taken away. “This is my house, and everything in it belongs to me. Thanks for opening the door, Carrie. I won’t take the bag that you’re carrying now. You can take it as a gift from me.”Carrie had the urge to strangle Camryn. She had bought the bag herself, yet Camryn shamelessly said it was a gift from her. “I’ll take the bag away if you keep glaring at me. Are you going to leave, or do you need someone to drag you out?”Camryn spoke with a light tone. However, she sounded as cold as ice to Carrie. Aunt Brenda and Aunt Amy mentioned that Camryn was the cruelest person ever; Carrie finally understood and experienced it. Camryn never cared about their sisterhood. “I’ll walk on my two feet. Not all that belongs to the Newman family is yours, Camryn. Just wait. I’ll take back everything that belongs to me
