Carrie’s eyes lit up at Brenda’s suggestion. She had been feeling timid about approaching Serenity even after changing her identity, worried about being discovered. She was about to create a scene involving Camryn as Carrie Newman to show that she was still in Wiltspoon. “Your idea is great, Aunt Brenda. I’ll head to Wildridge Manor now and get some allowance from our in-laws.”Brenda urged, “Go quickly and get more money. Help Amy and I. We’re flat broke now. It’s better if you can get Rosella to arrange a job for you.“It must be fairly easy to do that with her status.”However, Carrie did not want to work. She wanted to live a comfortable life where she could spend a limitless amount of money without lifting a finger. Mr. Longbottom had given her millions of dollars of allowance. She had also told the bodyguard to tell Mr. Longbottom to provide her with more money to purchase luxury items. In most cases, Mr. Longbottom would agree to Carrie’s requests. He was loaded
“I’m envious of you, Serenity. Your relationship with Zachary is still as sweet as ever despite being married for so long.”Camryn had regained her sight. She was putting a rose bouquet together for Serenity herself. Serenity smiled. “You and Callum are just as close. There’s no need to be envious of us.”She added, “It feels as if Zachary and I had just gotten our marriage license yesterday. Not much time has passed since then.”Camryn smiled. “Indeed. It hasn’t even been ten years. However, you and Zachary will surely stay this way even after decades.”She passed the bouquet to Serenity, who paid for it. Camryn did not want to charge her for the bouquet, but Serenity insisted. She said it would feel as if Camryn was the one giving Zachary the bouquet if she did not pay for it. Upon hearing that, Camryn quickly accepted her money. “I’m going to York Corporation now, Camryn. Drop by my house with Callum this weekend. I’ll cook up something delicious.”Camryn was walking Sere
Of course, Rosella knew that Camryn only appeared gentle. Camryn was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a formidable opponent. “Have you gotten off work, Camryn? Are you still busy? Are you tired?”“I came to the store in the evening and pruned the flowers that just came in recently. It was manageable, so I’m feeling fine.”Camryn smiled. “Did you prepare more nutritious food for me again?”Rosella was heartbroken over everything Camryn had gone through in the past. Whenever Camryn had time, Rosella would prepare healthy food to nourish her body. She would also curse the Newmans’ cruelty every time she saw Camryn. No matter what, Camryn was Paige’s biological daughter. How could she be so ruthless and hurt Camryn that deeply?Rosella thought, ‘If I had a daughter, I would’ve showered her with so much love.’Paige neither treasured nor loved Camryn. Look at how badly she had abused her. Luckily, Dr. Carden was able to cure Camryn’s eyes. It would have been unfortunate for such bea
Rosella said, “I didn’t. She was just here to create a scene and ruin your reputation. I met her but didn’t let her into the manor. I went out to meet her.“How could I give her money? She’ll only come back for more when it runs out.”Rosella was not that stupid. She said, “Your sister had gone too far with her words. I had someone cover her mouth and drag her away after hearing a few sentences. “She’s your sister. Regardless of how things are between you two, I thought I should let you know that she came to the manor to ask for money.“I’m just informing you, Camryn, not blaming you. Don’t take it to heart. I think I was nice enough to not release the dogs on her after what she and your mother did to you.”Rosella explained because she thought Camryn misunderstood she was angry. No matter the circumstances, Carrie was still Camryn’s sister and a young lady of the Newmans. However, she had gone to the manor to ask for money and humiliated Camryn. Although Rosella had stood up
Camryn could also make the Joyners and Chandlers jobless and leave Wiltspoon with a call. Even Carrie, who was not that bright, could probably figure everything out once the two families stopped egging her to do things. Maybe she could be independent once she found a job.She needed to withstand the trials of society to become a mature person. Of course, Camryn did not expect Carrie to turn over a new leaf entirely. Paige had already twisted Carrie’s views. It was difficult to correct it fundamentally. As long as Carrie lay low, Camryn would spare her from the worst. However, if she still did dirty tricks, Camryn would disregard all family ties. They never had sisterly love for each other anyway. Only Trenton treated Camryn with respect and care. He was the reason Camryn held back. Once Camryn’s patience ran out, she would not show mercy to Carrie even if Trenton interfered. “Okay. Let me know if you need my help. There’s no need to worry about asking for help because we’r
As they talked, Callum held the car door for Camryn. While she could see, it was only limited to short distances and objects further away were still blurry to her. Callum never stopped taking care of her attentively. Bodyguards followed her wherever she went. The two bodyguards could only get a break when Callum was by Camryn’s side. Callum still had lingering fear after what happened last time. He dared not imagine the consequences if Serenity had not rescued Camryn. Therefore, he went all out getting revenge on the Joyners and Chandlers. Not only did he destroy their businesses, but he also bankrupted them, leaving them saddled with debt. The two families ended up having to live in a rented house and work to get by. Camryn’s aunts were working as cleaners. It was greatly different from the lives the pampered women were used to. “Your family and relatives treat me very well. I’ve come to learn what a family’s warmth and parental love feels like.”While her father love
As for Trenton’s share, Camryn had not taken it.Still, Newman Enterprise was under her control.“Mom told me that you should just ignore her. If she curses you, just gag her and leave.”Callum’s tone turned cold.Apart from Trenton, he despised all the Newmans, including their relatives.His beloved wife’s relatives could give Serenity’s crazy relatives a run for their money.The Hunts now wanted to reconcile with Serenity but there was zero chance of that. She stopped caring about them long ago. Apart from collecting rent from those few families, all of which she sent to the old Hunt couple every month as their living expenses.Occasionally she might add a bit of allowance on top of that, sort of a reconciliation between the grandparents and their grandchild. It was also how Serenity did well by her late father by taking care of his parents.However, there was no way Camryn and her relatives would ever make peace.“Yeah, Carrie isn’t that smart to think of asking Mom for mon
After a few minutes, Trenton replied with a text, asking: [Camryn, what has Carrie done this time? She just doesn’t listen.]Trenton was deeply disappointed in Carrie as well.To this day, she could not see the situation clearly or accept the truth.Camryn kept her tally of just how Carrie bullied her and did so many harmful things to her. The payback Camryn was serving Carrie now that Carrie had gotten out of prison was positively minor in comparison. If Carrie had any ambition at all, she would learn to stand on her own two feet.Trenton sighed inwardly. If that happened, pigs would fly.With Carrie’s petty nature, and if she was allowed to have even a single bit of power, she would definitely choose to aggressively take revenge against Camryn. The sisters would be involved in a huge fight and no one would benefit from it.Trenton respected Camryn the most, but Carrie and he shared the same parents. He could not possibly leave her be.After a moment of thought, he felt that
Imogen did not know that Dylan had woken up. She was still on the phone with Maria outside.Maria felt reassured when Imogen mentioned that the person she liked was a member of the richest family in Wiltspoon. All was good as long as he was not a social climber. Imogen asked, “Maria, when are you coming back? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Kade will be back soon. Are you really not coming back?“Maria, Kade and I are like siblings. Please don’t misunderstand or overthink it. Actually, you should know this—the person Kade likes is you. You two are the real childhood sweethearts, you grew up together.”Imogen and her mother’s godchildren had known each other since they were young, but the three of them had not actually spent much time together as she had always stayed with her master while she learned the trade, only returning home during the summer and winter holidays.Once the holidays ended, she would leave again. Even her formal education was completed in th
There were so many other possible choices. Why were they so fixated on him?Leticia sighed. “Alright, just pretend I never said that. You youngsters will decide for yourselves anyway, we don’t have a say in it. Remember to fetch Kade from the airport on Saturday.“I’ve already told him and he knows you’re supposed to be picking him up. And remember to get some flowers too. You two haven’t met in ages and you should give flowers at a reunion.” She reminded Imogen.“Mom, I can pick him up, fine, but I’m not giving him flowers. Who said you’re supposed to give flowers at a reunion?” Imogen refused to give Kade flowers when fetching him from the airport. “Oh, Mom, I gotta go. Bye!”Imogen quickly hung up, not allowing her mother the chance to speak further. Then, after a moment of thought, she texted Kade to ask when he was expected to arrive at Huntington Airport.It took a while before Kade replied that he would arrive around eleven in the morning on Saturday.Imogen replied wi
“I know you only view Kade as a brother, but who knows, if you nurture the relationship, those feelings might turn romantic? Jen, before you agree to be with Dylan, give yourself another option.“Make Dylan nervous. He’ll get jealous. He was jealous when he overheard our conversation that day.“You need to make him realize that even without him, you can still marry well. The Butchers like you a lot, and our families have a close relationship. You and Kade have known each other since you were young, so you guys could be considered childhood sweethearts.”Imogen said weakly, “Mom, I’m worried that if I get too close to Kade, not only will Dylan misunderstand, but even Maria might misunderstand. Kade and she are a thing, after all.“I really don’t understand what’s going on with Kade. He and Maria clearly have feelings for each other, they just haven’t made it official yet. Don’t their families see this?”She did not have any romantic feelings for Kade, but both families were trying
Although Leticia was angry over how Dylan had treated her daughter previously, at least he was not two-timing. He made things clear to Imogen right after realizing his feelings and stopped her from loving him. He still had a decent character.Besides, Imogen had also kept secrets from Dylan and she tricked him. Dylan still did not have sufficient evidence to prove that Imogen was the Chameleon Fox he loved. Dylan would start pursuing Imogen again after some time. Leticia heard that it was Serenity who had given Dylan a hint that Sugar was Fox. After that, Dylan sought confirmation from Old Mrs. York but only received a vague answer. However, he decided to continue pursuing Imogen because he believed his nana would not bring him harm.After going in circles, Dylan still ended up returning to Imogen.Actually, Leticia already viewed him as her son-in-law.Since Imogen’s happiness was on the line, she was concerned about her future son-in-law’s condition.“Dylan’s hospitalized.”
“Please look after Dylan, Imogen. Message me when he gets better. I just need to know that he’s alive.”Grandma May knew Dylan would be okay with Imogen by his side.Imogen quickly said, “Don’t hang up yet, Grandma May. Where are you now? Wiltspoon?“If it’s convenient, please get his parents to come and take care of Dylan. I’m busy with work. I can’t stay in the hospital to look after him.”Grandma May replied, “His dad is home, but he doesn’t know how to take care of others. I think Dylan will meet his death quicker under his dad’s care.“My daughters-in-law and I are at the Johnson family’s place in Annenburg. We won’t be back that soon because we just came not long ago. We’ll head back closer to Seren’s due date. That’s why we don’t have time to look after Dylan.“If you’re busy, you can return to work once Dylan’s fever breaks, Imogen. You don’t have to care about him. He can take care of himself. It’s just like a bad cold. He’ll be fine once his fever subsides.”Grandma Ma
Imogen should have gone to stop Dylan earlier than she had. Since Layla was helping Imogen to get revenge, Imogen thought she would let Dylan put on a show to display his sincerity. She could only stop Dylan once Layla was satisfied.After handling the hospitalization procedures, Dylan lay on the bed and received an IV drip. Meanwhile, Imogen brought him water and told him to take his medicine.“Take this medicine for your fever. Your face is red from the heat.”Dylan’s temperature was close to 103 degrees Fahrenheit when they measured it at the hospital. He would cough constantly, and his face was flushed red from the fever. He looked tired and weak as well. Dylan sat up and accepted the glass of water. Imogen handed him the right dosage of medicine according to the doctor’s prescription.“Make sure you’re hydrated.”Imogen refilled his glass and told him to drink more water.“I don’t want to drink water.”Dylan lay back down.Perhaps because he was on an IV drip, his
Dalton said, “Callum spoils you a lot too. Many people are envious of you two.”Camryn smiled. “You’re right. Our lives are objects of envy to other people.“You can head back to work, Dalton.”“Okay.”Camryn saw Dalton out. She sat for a few minutes before returning to her desk to continue working.Meanwhile, in Huntington, Dylan was coughing badly. He quickly grabbed the glass of water Imogen had just offered him and took a few sips. After moistening his throat, he stopped coughing. However, he started coughing again after a few minutes. Imogen said, “Why is your cough getting worse after seeing the doctor and taking medicine?”“Ah…”Dylan pointed at his throat. He could not speak. His throat was badly inflamed from eating excessive chili peppers. His voice was so hoarse that he could not talk, and he was hacking non-stop. Imogen had already brought him to a doctor, who had prescribed some medication for him. However, his condition was so bad that the medication was no
“Did you think of your mother again?”Dalton said gently, “It wasn’t your fault, Camryn. You don’t have to overthink it or care about how she treated you. You have loving in-laws now. You’re like a daughter to them.“Your husband dotes on you a lot too. I believe there’ll be better days ahead of you. As for your mother… Let her regret what she did.”He had never seen a mother like Mrs. Newman. There were many biased mothers, but not many of them were as evil as Mrs. Newman.“She does feel regret. However, it isn’t because she had hurt me, but because she gave birth to me. She regretted not getting an abortion or strangling me to death after giving birth to me.“She said I was the bane of her existence. She had gone to a psychic when she was pregnant with me. The psychic said I was an unlucky child who would bring bad luck to my parents and that if she didn’t kill me after I was born, I would become her downfall.“My mom was just finding excuses for herself. How would I be her d
“It’s getting better. Don’t worry, Dal. Dr. Carden will be here to check on me after some time and adjust my prescription. She said I’d be able to get pregnant after two years.“Dr. Carden is the legendary doctor’s best student. I trust her skills. She was the one who helped me to regain my sight.”Camryn reassured Dalton. “You just have to take good care of Melissa and tell her not to worry about me. I believe the heavens won’t take away my right to be a mother.”If Dr. Carden said she was infertile, then it would be impossible to get pregnant. However, Dr. Carden had guaranteed that Camryn could give birth after two years of recuperation. Therefore, Camryn was at ease.“Even if I can’t get pregnant, Callum won’t divorce me. He said we could adopt if it didn’t work out.“He and his family didn’t give up on me when I was blind. I believe my in-laws won’t abandon me just because I can’t get pregnant, Dalton. Besides, I’m not actually infertile.”Camryn knew Dalton and Melissa we
