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
Since Carrie could not reach Mrs. Clark, she called Brenda instead. When the call connected, Carrie said, “Aunt Brenda, I got my stuff back. Now that I have money, can you help me to rent an apartment unit and live there for now? I’ll buy a bigger villa after settling the inheritance dispute with Camryn and getting more money.”Upon hearing that Carrie had gotten her stuff, Brenda asked, “Did you manage to get into the house? Why didn’t you stay there? Isn’t it better to live in the villa? You’ll have to spend more if you rent a place.”After a moment of silence, Carrie said, “Let’s talk about this when we meet. It’s not as simple as you think. My car is out of gas, so I’m going to fill it up first. I’ll head to your place after.“Tell Aunt Amy and my cousins that I’m treating them to lunch. I’m thankful for Edward and Derrick’s help. I may be bad-tempered and reckless, but I’m not an ingrate. I remember all the help I’ve received.“Things are a bit tough for me right now, but I’
As for Paige, she probably would not be able to get out of prison. Amy disliked her sister-in-law. She thought Paige was a dangerous woman. She first married Abel and caused his death. Next, she married Cain, and they both ended up in jail. Although Cain was involved in Abel’s death, Paige was the mastermind. Cain had schemed Abel’s murder with Paige to be with her.Amy truly wanted to get revenge on Camryn. Now that she had become Callum’s fiancée and gained the York family’s support, they would not have the choice nor the guts to avenge themselves. Amy scolded Camryn mentally to release her anger. Camryn could guess where Carrie was headed after leaving the villa, but she could not care less.The Chandlers and Joyners could exploit Carrie all they wanted. Previously, Amy and Brenda continued reaping benefits from the Newmans despite having rich in-laws.Now that they were working, they desperately wished to return to the luxurious life they once had. Carrie was givin
Someone probably upset Camryn and unleashed her pent-up resentment. Perhaps that was why she wanted to clear the room. Additionally, Camryn did not know the password to the room; not even he knew. Paige kept many things from Trenton as she felt he was siding with Camryn. Camryn was honest and told him all about Carrie’s early release from prison and her entering the villa that morning. Trenton sighed. It turned out that his troublemaker sister was out of jail. The Newman family would no longer be peaceful. He said, “You can move my parents' things to my room and tell Carrie to retrieve her stuff. You may clear her room too.”Since the house belonged to Camryn, she could decide not to let Carrie live in it. Trenton could not plead for forgiveness in Carrie’s stead. He knew better than anyone how Carrie tortured Camryn in the past. It seemed like Carrie had not turned over a new leaf after spending so much time in jail. Her putting on good behavior was merely a show for
“Anyway, I can’t let Carrie lose all of our family assets. Aunt Amy and Aunt Brenda will definitely cajole her into giving them all her money. Carrie can’t handle flattery. She’ll easily give anything to whoever butter her up.”Trenton wanted to protect his family assets. Since his parents were still alive, the only viable solution was to transfer the ownership of all their assets to him. He would then move the assets to Camryn. He trusted her character and that she would not embezzle anything that did not belong to her.Camryn had no reason to do so anyway. Callum’s family was well-off, and she was his fiancée. She probably did not need Trenton’s money. “Cam, how much of the joint assets belong to my parents?”Trenton recalled his parents’ illegal businesses being seized, and the profits were confiscated. He could only inherit assets that were earned rightfully. Camryn replied, “All their illegal earnings and businesses have been seized. Newman Enterprise isn’t illegal. Lucki
Cain had also done something unlawful.The illegal operations were seized, and although the amount involved was not particularly large, it tarnished the reputation of the Newman family. This led to a drop in the share value and a substantial decline in the family’s wealth and business.Now, Camryn had taken control of Newman Enterprise with Callum’s and the company had weathered the storm.Camryn had not discussed these matters with him; it was Dalton and Callum who informed him.He had only learned about the hardships hidden behind his sister’s calm demeanor.Camryn sought justice for her late father and had both of his parents sent to prison. This was difficult for him to accept because it meant his parents were criminals. While he had a hard time accepting Camryn’s “justice over family,” he understood her reasoning.The Newman family was entirely under Camryn’s control, but she had stated that she would never take a single penny of what did not belong to her.Anything that sho
Callum believed in his own judgment, and he trusted his nana. After spending so much time with Camryn, he knew her character and her way of doing things inside out.“Once we get the marriage license, it’s for a lifetime, there’s no divorce, you know? You need to think it over carefully. A great man like you might meet someone better than me in the future, someone more suitable. When that happens, you might tell me that you only married me because your nana chose me, but the woman you meet later is your true love. I won’t allow it.”Callum playfully tapped her cute nose and said, “Haven’t you heard how people outside talk about us York men? We’re all devoted lovers. The family rule is that once you marry, you should be loyal to your family and your marriage for a lifetime—no affairs, no divorces!“If you violate this rule, you’ll be expelled and have nothing to do with the York family.“Also, I’m marrying you not because my nana chose you, but because I love you. If I don’t truly lo
