“Which part was slander? If you can’t drink alcohol while networking and talking business, the reason you manage to strike any deals has to be due to your beauty and your good figure. Callum might have already been cuckolded tons of times over by marrying you.”“Whoever said that you had to drink alcohol when you network and talk business?”Carrie hurriedly took the chance to rebut Sally.“Ms. Abrams is truly dirty-minded. Is it because you rely on your beauty and your body to strike deals?“Don’t assume that everyone would stoop as low as you would.”“Who are you?” Sally questioned Carrie.Carrie sneered, “Who cares who I am? Your mouth is just filthy.”She handed the glass of red wine she was holding to Camryn and said, “Mrs. York, here. Have another glass. Help Ms. Abrams wash her filthy mouth out.”Camryn took the glass and hurled it at Sally once more.She said coldly, “Everyone here has heard it. It’s Ms. Abrams who has insulted me, slandered me, and smeared my reputatio
What madness had gotten into Sally to make such sarcastic remarks about Camryn and insult her?At the Houses’ banquet, where all three York madams were present, she actually insulted Camryn, spread lewd rumors about her, and smeared her reputation.Just by the stares she was getting now, she already wished she could burrow herself into a hole in the ground, let alone when Callum came looking for her to settle the score if the nonsense she spouted was to get out.She had just had a few glasses of wine and seeing Tasha and Camryn chatting away happily, she could not resist going over to them to cause a scene. She had had a crush on Callum, which made her incredibly jealous of Camryn. Then, her sarcastic remarks just started flying.She had overlooked one thing—Camryn had not come alone.Camryn was not just the eldest daughter of the Newmans—she was also Callum’s wife.Callum was just like Zachary, in that they doted on their wives tremendously. Camryn was his precious, beloved wife
If, however, words of what Sally said got out, Camryn would absolutely bring the hammer of the law down on her to demand justice and have Sally suffer the consequences of her actions.If anyone else wanted to get sued by her, they could say whatever they wanted. She would come after them with all she had.Sally looked at her mother, who gave her another glare.Nina said to her daughter, “Heard that? She’s being so generous that she’s willing to let the matter be for now. That’s out of the kindness of her heart. You can’t relax and not learn your lesson just because she’s being kind and is letting you go for now.“Your baseless rumors are not just harmful to others, but also to yourself.“You’ll drag us, your parents, down with you too. You’re my daughter. People will not just talk about you now that you’ve said such outrageous things—they’ll talk about how we have failed to educate you and raised a rumor-mongering, liar of a daughter too.“But it is indeed a failure of mine to ed
Camryn had always been the embodiment of strength and endurance. Everyone felt that it was simply ridiculous and that Sally had been loose-tongued and was such a liar when she made up such lies about Camryn.If not for Nina rushing over to discipline her daughter and if Sally had been allowed to continue raging drunkenly, no one knew how far things would have gone.The crowd also only found out now that Sally had targeted Camryn because she had a crush on Callum.However, they had never heard anything about the Abrams’ daughter pursuing Callum.It was just a crush all along.No wonder she targeted Camryn—it was because she was jealous.“I’m really, really sorry, Mrs. York. I’ve failed to adequately educate my daughter. Tomorrow, I will bring her with me to visit you to make amends.”Nina once again apologized to Camryn after Sally sincerely apologized.She then said to the onlookers, “What my daughter said just now was all baseless. It was all nonsense that she made up because
The damage you inflicted could easily backfire on you later on.Even if you did not suffer the backlash, you would have a record and your life would be blemished if you were convicted.The onlookers soon dispersed.Everyone resumed drinking, chatting happily as if nothing had ever happened. Knowing now that her daughter-in-law was not a pushover and would retaliate immediately after being insulted, Rosella felt much more at ease.Mrs. House invited the madams into her parlor.Once the York madams left, Carrie approached Camryn and politely asked, “Hello, Mrs. York, Ms. House. May I sit with you?”“Of course, Mrs. Longbottom.”Tasha had a positive impression of Mrs. Longbottom because she spoke up for Camryn earlier.It was also easier for young people to mix with other young people.Although Mrs. Longbottom was married, she was very young and had no topics in common with the other madams at the gathering.Camryn thanked Carrie politely. “I’m still on medication, so I can’t
Carrie smiled gently. “No, I have something I need to do at home. I’ll invite you out when I’m free, Ms. House. If it’s alright with you, could I get your contact number?”Tasha did not refuse and they exchanged numbers.Carrie led her two bodyguards into the parlor to say goodbye to Mrs. House and Mrs. House arranged for the butler to escort her out as usual.Once she got into the car and the car started, the gentle expression on Carrie’s face immediately vanished, replaced by anger.She cursed Camryn ceaselessly.The two bodyguards ignored her, allowing her to curse.“I’m so mad! Just you wait, you blind bitch! One day, I’ll make you kneel and beg at my feet.“I’ll make you wish you were dead!”Carrie repeated the same slurs whenever she was cursing someone.“You nearly slipped up earlier,” one of the bodyguards could not stop himself from saying.Carrie said furiously, “You guys don’t know how unpleasant it is to hear that blind bitch talk! She’s always shitting on me!“I
Carrie said pitifully, “Didn’t I act very well? Mr. Longbottom told me to help Camryn, and I did.”Only the Lord knew how much she wanted to cheer Sally on.“Ms. Camryn said all that to test you.”Carrie said, “I think so too. I feel like she’s always been suspicious of me and was testing me. Luckily, she didn’t sense anything.”The bodyguard said coldly, “Let’s hope so.”Although this woman was a little more tempered now that she had undergone training, her personality was long cemented and simply could not measure up to Camryn. It was hard to tell if Camryn had sensed anything by testing her.After returning, he would tell the boss about what happened and learn his thoughts.Half an hour after Carrie left, the three York madams and Camryn went home too.On the way home, Rosella asked her daughter-in-law, “Is there anyone you’d like to get to know apart from Tasha?”Camryn replied, “None, for now. It’s not easy to integrate into their circles.“If they’re not willing to let
No one had ever seen the results of the paternity test, but it was evident that Camryn was her father’s daughter.Otherwise, Paige and Cain would not have abused Camryn.This was how people found out that Paige was having an affair with Cain from early on and had truly cuckolded her late husband.Now that Rosella thought about it, she was thankful that the Newman couple had neglected Camryn.Camryn had grown up principled and morally upright under the guidance of her youngest aunt and the nanny who loved her very much.If the Newman couple had treated Camryn well, she did not know what kind of person Camryn would have grown into under their influence.Their abuse of Camryn had instead encouraged her to grow into a strong character with the right values.That couple would probably regret their actions very deeply if they could see Camryn today.“I can’t blame them either. Nana is so good at raising kids that she raised every single one of the boys into excellent, talented master
