“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
Serenity was elated to hear that her friend was living comfortably.Elsewhere at the same time in Jensburg, Caroline’s car entered Queen Enterprise.Fisher Enterprise had been wanting to collaborate with Queen Enterprise for a while now.As the temporary head of Fisher Enterprise, Caroline often appeared at Queen Enterprise’s office and the employees were now used to seeing her around.Their boss was very gracious and obliging toward the young Fisher heiress. That was why when Caroline came by the office even without making a prior appointment, Caroline was quickly allowed through after the receptionist made a call to Hayden’s secretary.Minutes later, Caroline appeared in the president’s office.When she saw Hayden still dressed as handsomely as always, she joked, “Mr. Hayden, you’re breaking their hearts like this. Everyone knows you’re a woman now. If you dress femininely like the rest of us, they’ll quickly accept reality.“If you keep dressing like a man, they’ll feel sad t
Hayden gestured in an invitation for Caroline to have some tea.Caroline was not reserved about it either and picked up the teacup to take a small sip of tea. “This is good.”“All the things I have here are good,” Hayden said. “Everything Kevin sent me is of top quality.”The tea was one that she kept prepared here though, and was not given by Kevin.“Is there really no room to maneuver regarding what we talked about the last time?”Caroline put down her teacup and asked Hayden gently.Hayden met Caroline’s gaze with an earnest look and said meaningfully, “I’ll only work with you, not Fisher Enterprise. I won’t work with any company related to the Fishers.”The one she valued was Caroline, not the Fisher family. Caroline did not represent the Fishers either.Caroline smiled. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me. Then, I’ll treat you to a meal tonight.”With her other identity.Hayden did not immediately agree, so Caroline teased, “Do you have a date with Kevin?”Hayden ad
Hayden was silent for a moment before she said, “They grew up together and shared a kinship. It’s impossible for them to cut their ties in one go.”“I know.”In the eyes of the three Fisher brothers, their biological sister Caroline was the interloper who had ruined the relationship between the siblings.Her appearance had caused Celine’s status to fall greatly.At first, it was still alright. Belinda was biased toward Celine.Everyone thought that it was unlikely that Caroline would be able to manage all of the family businesses and was all kinds of disdainful toward Caroline.However, two years later, when the Fishers ran into trouble, the one who stepped up to take charge and clean up the company’s messes was the real Fisher daughter, Caroline.Meanwhile, Celine, the fake daughter who had been spoiled by the Fishers all this while had her reputation ruined, was kicked out of the Fisher family, and became penniless.Just like Carrie, Celine was too used to a comfortable life
Hayden had also given Liberty a considerable amount of help both overtly and covertly.The people of Jensburg could clearly see that this Ms. Hunt from Wiltspoon was the offspring of the Fishers’ previous matriarch and that she had returned to compete against the Fishers on their turf.Liberty was setting up her business in the same industry as the Fishers’ most important business, and was obviously trying to steal their share of the pie.Some Fisher family members had secretly begun to defect to Liberty’s side.Caroline smiled and picked up her teacup once more. Gracefully, she savored the fragrant tea.Ring, ring, ring!Caroline’s phone began to ring.She put down her cup and picked up her phone to look at the caller ID before saying to Hayden, “It’s my mother. Maybe she doesn’t want to continue taking care of my father in the hospital anymore.”Belinda had forced her father to be hospitalized.The old couple seemed fine on the surface, but behind closed doors, they were no
“Alright. I’ll head to the hospital in a bit. You should head home and rest.”Caroline did not refuse and instead agreed to go to the hospital to take care of her father.Belinda was silent for a moment before she said, “You can head back after spending just an hour or so with him. There’s no need for you to take care of him personally. He’s not fond of you even though you’re his biological daughter.”At first, she had not felt anything for Caroline either, but Caroline was, after all, the baby she had borne herself. Blood was thicker than water and feelings could quickly be nurtured.However, it was not the same for Hunter.To him, as long as he had not raised her and doted on her, he did not feel any closeness or fondness for her.All because she was not a Clark.Their three sons had taken after his surname. Therefore, they were considered grandchildren of the Clark family.That was why Hunter was unable to truly accept Caroline as his daughter after her return.Belinda knew
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
