“You’re an adult, a responsible grown-up, and you need the courage to face everything and shoulder the responsibilities that are yours.“I know that you and Camryn are in complete agreement. However, she has never wanted to take advantage of you. Don’t worry; what’s rightfully yours will always be yours. If it’s not meant for you, don’t even think about it, don’t be like Carrie.”Trenton nodded. “Callum, I understand. Camryn and I just want to safeguard everything in the Newman family. Carrie has already started looking for a lawyer, preparing to sue Camryn.”That was the reason he took leave and returned.He wanted to stand by Camryn's side. Even if Carrie won the lawsuit, she would not get much of the family assets.He questioned Carrie’s action of taking Camryn to court while their parents were still alive.Though, by transferring all the family assets to himself with his parents’ consent, would Carrie be able to claim a share via a lawsuit? Apart from Abel’s share, the rest of
Tethered in the backyard, Camryn’s guard dogs were let loose during the night. It was still early, and the servant in charge of them had not tied them up yet. When they heard Carrie’s screams, the four canines rushed out of the backyard and bolted straight for the villa’s entrance.Carrie was tempted to tear down the main gate herself. Seeing the four guard dogs charging toward her, she was scared out of her wits. She kept retreating without a sound, no longer daring to scream, her face was filled with fear.It seemed like she was severely traumatized by these guard dogs, having been bitten by them.Justifiably so, she had sustained a bite, and now she had PTSD. Although the butler compensated for her medical expenses for rabies vaccines and serum, the bitten areas still hurt. Also, she was haunted by nightmares of the dog chase.Carrie resented Camryn greatly.After all, she had never set guard dogs on Camryn during their past confrontations.Furthermore, each time she tried to
“I didn’t come here willingly. This is our home, Trenton. Our home. That blind woman seized our family assets while I wasn't here. She drove me out as soon as I got out and our parents went to jail. She won’t let me come back.“Almost all the workers in the house have been replaced by her. Those who haven’t been replaced are the ones who dared not defy her.”Carrie complained more, “Do you think I wanted to come here and make a fuss early in the morning? That mole rat wouldn’t answer my calls or return my messages. I’ve been infuriated since last night, and as soon as the sun’s up, I came here to settle the score.“Has she not woken up yet?” she asked softly as she walked in after Trenton opened the gate, but stopped after a few steps, afraid to rush in.Trenton replied, “Camryn’s not up yet. Callum is up and making breakfast inside. Carrie, please don’t keep mentioning the fact that she’s blind. She is still our elder sister.”“You consider her your sister, but she wants to take
“Get as much as you can,” Carrie requested.“I don’t have much money on me right now, I’m a brokie.”Trenton replied, “You could find a job, Carrie. As long as you’re willing to work, any job will do. It won’t starve you. Only the lazy ones starve to death.”Carrie said with an angry expression, “Why should I find a job? I'm Ms. Carrie of the prestigious Newman family. My parents never wanted me to work. They said I was born to be an heiress and enjoy a life of luxury.“If it weren’t for Camryn freezing my cards, would I be in this situation, needing a lecture from you?”Trenton's expression turned grim and said, “Carrie, I’m not lecturing you; I’m just telling you that things are different now. We need to rely on our efforts to earn a living. If you’re capable, even if Cam freezes your cards, you won’t be afraid.“It’s because you lack capabilities that you’re obstructed in so many ways.”“Okay, okay, just give me some money. I know you lean toward that mole rat. She and you ha
The situation at home was now fully under Camryn’s control. Every transaction he made, he was certain that Camryn would be aware.If Trenton suddenly transferred a large sum of money, Camryn would surely question him. While she might not reprimand him for sending it to Carrie, Camryn would surely be disappointed in him.Besides, if he gave too much money to Carrie, she might spend it recklessly, refusing to grow up and find a job. Carrie would instead rely on him like a leech.Trenton had taken a leave of absence to visit their parents in prison. He hoped to convince them to transfer all their assets to him so he could control their family finances and prevent Carrie from squandering the Newman’s wealth.With this in mind, he decided to give Carrie only a little over a thousand dollars in cash.He quickly changed his clothes, tucked the money into his pocket, and exited his room. After just a few steps, he saw Camryn standing not far away, quietly watching him.Facing Camryn, T
Callum remained quiet as he stripped his shirt. He was about to throw it into the kitchen’s trash can. “Callum.”Camryn snatched the shirt and asked, “Talk to me. What happened? What did Carrie do to you? I can avenge you.“Did she touch you?”Callum looked sick. He said, “She crept inside, hugged me from behind, and even started touching me everywhere. I thought it was you, but I was utterly shocked when I turned and saw her. I pushed and kicked her away. I even threw things at her.”Camryn was speechless. She did not think Carrie would have dared to make a move on someone else’s man, let alone hug and touch him. Callum must not have expected Carrie to be that bold either. He was furious when he realized the person who embraced him was Carrie instead of Camryn. “Honey, Carrie touched this shirt. Throw it away. I don’t need it anymore. No woman except you is allowed to touch me or my clothes.”As he spoke, he snatched the shirt back and tried to stuff it into the trash can
How dare Carrie seduce Callum secretly?While Callum looked like a gentleman, it was simply an act. None of the York men were truly gentle. Instead, they were ruthless. Callum was only nice to Trenton because he loved Camryn. However, he would never be soft-hearted toward Carrie. Callum probably did not do anything to her because Camryn did not want him to butt in. Camryn must have wanted to solve her family issues on her own. Otherwise, Carrie would have died without knowing how she was killed, without the slightest chance to make a fuss at the Newman’s villa. Carrie was definitely jealous of Camryn’s comfortable life now. When Trenton raised his head to apologize to Camryn, he realized that she had already gone inside and was no longer in front of him. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice her leaving. Trenton could not bring himself to walk into the house. He stood there, feeling like his legs were filled with lead. He felt apologetic toward Camry
After the kiss, Camryn rested her head against his chest. She caressed his face and said, “I’ll never let Carrie touch you again.“No woman is allowed to touch my man.”“You must keep your promise, honey.”Callum’s anger dissipated. Carrie hugged him from behind and touched his chest. When he realized she was not Camryn, he immediately pushed her away.“Never let that woman appear before me again. I’ll kick her every time I see her. I never attack women, but I’ll make an exception for someone who molested me and teach her a lesson.”Camryn guaranteed it. “I’ll never let her come near you again. If she dares to, I’ll beat her up. It seems like she has only learned shameless things all this while.”She touched Callum’s handsome face again and said, “You’re too good-looking and talented. You’re like a magnet that attracts everyone around you wherever you go. That’s why many people are targeting you.“Many people think I’m not good enough for you. They say I’m blind and not love
