Carrie hung up after a few words with Mr. Longbottom. He always only asked about her whereabouts and when she would go home.She did not want to stay at the store anymore. Turning around, she saw the three missus sitting at the cashier, with several bodyguards sitting or standing at the entrance. She was burning with jealousy.It was only a small bookstore, but six bodyguards were inside. Serenity, Jasmine, and Camryn each had two bodyguards.Carrie also had two bodyguards following her whenever she went out now, but these bodyguards only acted respectfully when there were others around. They were cold and controlling behind the scenes, dictating her every move. They were totally different from Serenity’s bodyguards. She thought about how Serenity could not recognize her after she changed her face. Although Camryn was her sister, she was blind for ten years. Despite regaining her eyesight, it was only partially recovered, and Camryn could only see things up close. Things with
Serenity felt it too.Only Jasmine had not interacted with Carrie before and only knew of her name, so she felt nothing.“Let’s talk about it in the store. It’s cold out here. The rain is merely a drizzle, but it still feels cold.”Serenity held Camryn’s arm and pulled Jasmine along. The three of them returned to the cashier and sat down.“I’ll pour a cup of water for you two. My mouth feels dry after eating the gingersnaps from Mr. Charles. It tastes good, and I crave it more the more I eat,” Jasmine said as she went to get some water.Serenity smiled and helped Camryn to sit. Camryn said, “Seren, I can see.”Back when she was still blind, she could move around freely in familiar surroundings. Callum knew she needed to be in a familiar place to move freely like the others, so he kept ordering from Spring Blossoms and requested her to deliver the flowers to York Corporation.She thought he was deliberately making things difficult for her. Later, Callum explained that he had
Camryn replied without thinking, “She feels so much like Carrie. They have similar figures and voices. It’s just that their faces are different.”After a pause, she continued, “It shouldn’t be her. Yesterday, she still came to the manor, complaining to Mom that I was too cruel, letting her starve to death. She asked for money and made a fuss there.”“After I reached the manor with Callum, Mom gave me a bag of money and asked me to hand it to Carrie. It was filled with loose change like one or five dollars, but she put a couple of one-hundred-dollar bills on top to trick Carrie.”Once Camryn stated the person she suspected, Serenity immediately echoed, “Yeah! She really feels like Carrie. You reminded me of it. When she came to the store yesterday, I thought her figure looked familiar.”“Camryn, do you think it really is your ‘dearest’ sister? Could it be her disguise?”After thinking about it, Camryn said, “Carrie doesn’t have money now. She can’t afford bodyguards. That bodyguard
Serenity smiled. “I won’t be too concerned. When Zachary comes home tonight, I’ll just bring it up. If it really is Carrie, she must have found a backing. God knows what dirty tricks she has in waiting for Camryn.”“Anyway, Camryn, be careful,” Serenity reminded her.Serenity herself needed to be careful.Although she had peaceful days, she could not afford to be careless, always maintaining a high level of vigilance.It was because of the Fisher family in Jensburg.Belinda was cruel enough to harm her elder sister who had raised her. Naturally, she would be unwilling to let the position of matriarch return to her sister’s descendants.Although Serenity had bodyguards with her all the time and knew a little self-defense, she was still pregnant with Zachary’s child. It was easy for an accident to occur with even a slight collision.“I will. Since Carrie was released, I have been on guard against her.”Camryn looked outside and said, “The rain has stopped. I’ll return to my flowe
“You don’t need to accompany me. Go back to the store. It’s cold outside,” Camryn told her two friends.“Text us when you reach. Let us know you’ve returned safely,” Serenity said.Camryn smiled. “I got it. Go inside quickly. If you catch a cold, it’ll be my fault.”Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant! However, they still waited until Camryn got into the car before returning to the store.After half an hour, Carrie arrived. She did not come as Mrs. Longbottom, so she took a public bus.The biggest bus station in Wiltspoon was located opposite Wiltspoon School, making it convenient for Carrie to travel by bus. It was her first time taking a bus. Mr. Longbottom had instructed her to come back. He heard about her encounter with Camryn in the bookstore. Although Camryn was blind in the past, she had exceptional hearing and was Carrie’s sister. She was the most familiar with Carrie’s voice. Mr. Longbottom could let Carrie change her appearance completely, but her voice was not s
“Serenity, where is Camryn? Ask her to get the hell out! I know she is in your store. I went to her flower shop and her assistant said she came to your place! How could she do that to me? She gave me a bag of loose change!“No matter what, I am still her sister. We have the same mother. I might have mistreated her in the past, but she can’t do this to me. I don’t even have money to eat! When I asked for money, she gave me a bag of loose change as if dismissing a beggar!”When Carrie thought about the bag of money, she was furious. Serenity and Jasmine heard about this matter from Camryn just now. Now that Carrie had come to make a fuss about the money, it was hard for Serenity to associate Carrie with the woman who had come to buy books earlier.Serenity said coldly, “You’ve come at the wrong time. Camryn had gone back. Why, didn’t you bump into each other on the road?”Carrie snarled, “She takes a luxurious vehicle whenever she goes out. I didn’t even have money for gas, so I
“Who did the Newman family’s assets belong to in the first place? Who took whose family assets? Your parents were the ones who shamelessly took Camryn’s assets and you still have the gall to say it was yours? How shameless.“Carrie, I’m not Camryn. I won’t tolerate your shamelessness. If Camryn hadn’t considered that you’re her half-sister, you’d really be penniless right now. You wouldn’t even have enough money to buy food.“Hurry up and get out of here. I don’t want to see your face.”Camryn was ruthless but toward her siblings, she had retained a sliver of mercy. Otherwise, it would have been terribly easy for the current Camryn to quash Carrie under her boot completely.“You think I want to see you very much? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone to jail and my parents would be fine! This is all your fault! Serenity Hunt, I might be disgraced now, but you’d better hope that God stays on your side, because one day, if I get the power, I’ll make you suffer double what I’v
Although Carrie hated Serenity very much, they rarely crossed paths, so Serenity could not recognize her so easily.The York family bodyguard only returned to report to Serenity after he saw Carrie head to Spring Blossoms.After learning that Carrie had gone to the flower shop to look for Camryn, Serenity told Jasmine, “Maybe Camryn and I were overthinking it and that girl wasn’t Carrie pretending to be someone else?”Jasmine did not have a strong impression of when Carrie played the part of Mrs. Longbottom. She only remembered that she had been a young and pretty lady dressed glamorously, wearing all sorts of jewelry, unlike Carrie; mainly because the current Carrie could not afford to hire bodyguards.She replied, “I think it’s unlikely. Why would Carrie come here disguised as someone else? She hates you and Camryn so blatantly that she would say it to your face, so why would she pretend to be someone else?“Maybe the two of them just have similar body types and voices. They loo
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
Although Callum had started viewing Dalton as a brother after Dalton got married, he still kept his guard up around Dalton. He only let his guard down a little after Melissa got pregnant.It was also because Dalton treated his wife with utmost sincerity and love. Dalton had nothing to worry about and could focus on his life after knowing Camryn was doing well and had the York family supporting her. Not only that, her husband and in-laws adored her. Camryn would come over to handle more important company matters, while Dalton could deal with smaller ones. He rarely attended business engagements at night and chose to accompany his pregnant wife most of the time. Melissa was kinder to Camryn as well. Although they were not sisters-in-law, they shared a close relationship. “Melissa’s baby probably has a sweet tooth. Tell her to be careful and not eat too many sweet things at once.”Camryn wanted to say that Melissa was probably pregnant with a girl. However, she did not say it ou
After her call with Leah ended, Camryn put down her phone and leaned against her office chair. She rotated her chair back and forth. She was at Newman Enterprise.At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Dalton entered soon after.“Dal.”Camryn stood up when she saw him. “Are you daydreaming?”Dalton asked softly, “Are you tired? Go and rest if you are. You should return to Wiltspoon soon. I can handle things here.”“Melissa is pregnant. You should spend more time with her.“I’m not really tired. I was on the phone with an employee of my flower shop earlier and thought of some things that made me feel unhappy.”Dalton and Camryn sat on the sofa in the guest lounge. “Why are you upset? Is the flower shop not doing well?”Camryn had put in a lot of effort in Spring Blossoms. It had accompanied her through her tough times. No matter how her identity had changed, it would always have an important place in her heart.Despite becoming rich, she still kept the store up and
To Louise and Leah, Mrs. Longbottom looked too young.Carrie caressed her stomach. She sighed and said, “I was pregnant before, but it was a high-risk pregnancy and ended up in a miscarriage.“My husband told me to recuperate first before we try for another baby a few years later. We’re still young anyway,” Louise consoled Carrie. She picked two jade plants and two money trees for her. After paying, Carrie got her two bodyguards to carry the plants. Before leaving, she handed Louise and Leah her calling card and said, “Please call me if your boss or Mrs. York comes over. I want to make an appointment with them, but it’s too difficult to do so.”Leah accepted the card. After taking a look at it, one of them replied, “Mrs. York is heavily pregnant, so she rarely drops by. She’s usually resting at home. I can inform you if our boss comes.“You should probably have Ms. Camryn’s number if you wish to make an appointment with her. You can try calling her.”Carrie replied, “I’m not
