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
“Camryn, please give me a little time, alright? I’ll call my mom right away.”Callum planted a kiss on his fiancée’s cheek and immediately dialed Rosella’s number.It took a while before the call got through.“Mom, do you have a moment?”Rosella responded, “Hmm, I just woke up. I’m quite free today, what’s up? Do you need Mom’s help?”As her son grew up, there were very few things that required his parents’ assistance. She had already gotten used to the feeling of not being needed by her children.“I’m planning to go to the city hall with Camryn before noon to get our marriage license but I didn’t bring the household register with me. Could you or Dad bring it over for me now? Or maybe have someone deliver it to me? By the time I make the trips myself, it’ll be the afternoon, and I’d rather not wait that long.”If it were not for the missing household register, Callum would be eager to go to City Hall with Camryn right now to seal their marriage.Since he fell in love with he
Camryn did not make any more excuses.She was only helping him manage his bank cards, not restricting his spending, and she had no need to use his money.Callum pecked her on the cheek and then looked at her with a smile. The more he looked, the more he liked what he saw.“Why do you keep looking at me and smiling?”“I’m happy, Camryn. I’m so happy. I can’t help but smile.”He broke into another chuckle as he spoke.Camryn found herself laughing at his antics.After a while of affectionate exchange, they checked the time. Estimating that Rosella should be there soon, Callum said, “Camryn, my mom should be arriving at City Hall soon. Let’s get going. She should be there by the time we arrive.”Callum also had to stop by a flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses.Camryn had suggested registering for their marriage all of a sudden, so he was not fully prepared but there was still time to make it special. From the flowers to the engagement ring, nothing should be lacking.This
Martin smiled and said, “Indeed this is a good thing, a huge and wonderful thing. We’re very happy. It’s getting late, Callum. Take Camryn inside to complete the paperwork. The staff will be getting off work soon.”Prompted by their parents, Callum held Camryn’s hand while accepting the household registration permit that Rosella handed over along with the ring he had ordered in advance. Together with Camryn, he entered the city hall.Martin and Rosella waited outside for the two to come out.He tilted his head and said to his wife, “This reminds me of when we came here to get married thirty-two years ago. It feels like just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, our eldest son has also walked in here. Time flies, and we are growing old.”With Rosella’s hand in his, he said, “I’ve said it before, we will grow old together.”Rosella was moved. She said, “Yes, time really flies. I always feel like I’m only eighteen, but my son is already thirty. We are getting older, and we can’t den
“Let’s go. I’ve just called Wiltspoon Hotel to book a private room. We’re going to celebrate with everyone over dinner. Nana is very happy to hear that you two got married.“Camryn, I also called your aunt a while ago and told her about you and Callum being officially married. I invited her over, and we’ll discuss your wedding.“We still have a few months until New Year’s, so we’ll try to have the wedding before then.”Rosella was quick to act.As soon as the lovebirds got their marriage license, she had already arranged for a discussion with her in-law about their wedding.Camryn’s mother and stepfather were still in prison, and she held resentment toward them; there was no need to discuss the wedding plans with them. That was why Rosella had invited Evelyn over.However, since Paige was still Camryn’s mother, Rosella wanted to check with her daughter-in-law on this. “Camryn, do you want to tell your mom as well?” Even if she might not get her blessing, she should at least let
