It had been too short a time since she was first assigned to impersonate Carrie and she had not paid attention to any specific characteristics of the real Carrie's hands.“Tell him to let go of me. His grip is really painful. I won’t hit you.” “Carrie” backed down.With such a formidable bodyguard by Camryn’s side, she dared not touch even a single hair on Camryn’s head. Her hands would seriously be at risk if she did. Camryn sat back down behind the counter and signaled for the bodyguard to release her. The bodyguard let go, but stayed nearby, keeping a watchful eye on “Carrie”.“Carrie” rubbed her hurting wrist. It was already turning red, showing just how forceful the bodyguard’s grip was. Right then, two cars pulled up in front of Spring Blossoms. One was a luxury car while the other seemed to be the bodyguards’ vehicle. The bodyguards quickly got out and walked over to the luxury car to open the door for the person in the back seat.Camryn looked outside and saw Mrs. Longbot
“I heard a while back that you run a large florist with beautiful flowers. I’ve always wanted to visit, but I never had the time. Now that my sister-in-law is on winter break and doesn’t need me to pick her up from kindergarten every day, I have a bit of free time and decided to come and browse. Then, I suddenly remembered that tomorrow’s my mother-in-law’s birthday. I’ve prepared a gift for her, but I still need a bouquet of flowers. Since you own a flower shop, I thought I’d come by and have a look.”Mrs. Longbottom was acting convincingly and Camryn chose not to expose her either. Until she removed Mrs. Longbottom’s mask, she could not reveal that Mrs. Longbottom was Carrie.“Mrs. Longbottom, you really are so filial. What size bouquet would you like? I’ll make sure it’s arranged to her satisfaction.”“I’m just the daughter-in-law, so a modest bouquet suitable for a mother-in-law will do. I’ll let my father-in-law give her the large bouquets. I wouldn’t want to overshadow him.”
Camryn looked at “Carrie”, who initially did not react. It was not like Mrs. Longbottom was talking about her real self. It was only when Camryn looked at her that she remembered that she was Carrie now.Immediately, she started shouting, “She stole my family assets and froze my bank account, so I can’t receive my monthly allowance. My brother even cut his support for me by seventy percent because of her.”“I have no money to spend now, and it’s all her fault. If I don’t ask her for money, who else am I supposed to ask? Why should I look for a job? I’m a Newman. My parents left me billions in assets, which I could never finish spending in my lifetime. Why should I work? How much could I even earn in a month? It wouldn’t even be as much as my previous monthly allowance.”Carrie previously had a monthly allowance of three hundred thousand dollars. For big purchases, like luxury cars, she only needed to act spoiled in front of her parents, and they would buy it for her. She hardly ever
“Mrs. Longbottom.” Right as the fake Carrie was about to be thrown out, Camryn finally spoke.She looked at the imposter, who was restrained by the Longbottoms’ bodyguards, her struggles futile and her mouth silenced by the tape over her mouth. Then turning to Mrs. Longbottom, she said, “Mrs. Longbottom, my sister spoke without thinking. She’s been spoiled by her parents and doesn’t know her place. She was quite offensive just now too. Now that you’ve given her a lesson, let’s call this even for my sake. Just throw her out.”Mrs. Longbottom maintained a stern expression as she said, “Mrs. York, you’re too kind-hearted, which is why she’s been bullying you. I heard that she used to bully you quite a lot.”“That’s all in the past. I don’t want to get into it with her either.”Camryn looked magnanimous as she said, “Just think of her as a stray dog. As humans, we can’t bite back when a dog bites us, can we?”Mrs. Longbottom cursed inwardly, ‘You’re the dog, and your whole family ar
“Carrie” snapped back to reality and, fearing something might betray her deception, she quickly said, “I just hate Camryn. What’s wrong with cursing her out?”Then, she hurried toward her car, trying to get in quickly and drive away. However, before she could close the door, a figure moved with great speed, reaching the side of her car in a few strides. A strong hand reached into the car and grabbed one of her wrists, roughly pulling her out of the vehicle. When “Carrie” centered herself, she realized it was one of York’s bodyguards, who were indeed agile. The bodyguard dragged her over to Callum.Mrs. Longbottom shot a furious glare at the fake Carrie. Even if she was not very smart, the imposter should not be making her look so stupid. How dare she provoke Callum now that he was here? Was that not a death wish?She should have made a quick getaway the moment she was let go earlier. After all, today’s objective was achieved. Camryn should no longer doubt that Mrs. Longbottom and Ca
“Mr. York, you’re here. This woman is so shameless and keeps insulting Mrs. York. I’ve already taught her a lesson, but she hasn’t repented. Mrs. York is willing to overlook it because she’s so kind-hearted, but for people like this, who care nothing for sisterly bonds, it’s better to just teach them a good lesson and drive them away," Mrs. Longbottom spoke up first.Callum glanced at her briefly before turning his cold gaze to “Carrie”. He said coldly, “Camryn has shown you mercy multiple times because you are her half-sister, but you’ve taken advantage of that. Camryn may choose to ignore you, but I’m not that magnanimous. An insult to my wife is equivalent to an insult to me, and I’ve always liked to slap those who insult me. Give her a few slaps and teach her that words have consequences.”Callum instructed his bodyguards to punish the insolent “Carrie”. The bodyguards did not show any mercy and quickly delivered several slaps to her face. She was left stunned by the blows. It tu
They were simply amazing!“Callum.” Camryn walked over, took her husband’s hand, and said gently, “She’s just a mad dog who likes to bite people indiscriminately. Don’t pay her any mind and don’t let her anger you. It’s not worth it. I’ve long since grown numb to her insults.”“She has a mouth and can say whatever she likes. I just don’t like it so I got them to give her a couple of slaps,” said Callum as his cold expression immediately softened into one of tenderness. Even the fake Carrie could not help but feel a pang of jealousy at the change in his expression. He was so cold to her and seemed to want to tear her apart, but with Camryn, he was practically dripping with gentleness. Sure enough, the men of the York family truly doted on their wives.“I just can’t stand anyone insulting you like that. You might be magnanimous to hold it against her, but I’m very petty. It’s whatever if I hadn’t heard it, but since I did hear it, I had to teach her a lesson.”He lightly tapped h
“I’m leaving, I’m leaving right now.” Carrie, no longer insolent, quickly headed toward her car. At Callum’s command to leave, she turned and fled back to her vehicle, flung open the door, and got in. Soon, she drove away from Spring Blossoms. Despite the pretty name of Camryn’s flower shop, the place was anything but enjoyable. If she stayed any longer, she might end up losing her teeth.After Carrie left, Mrs. Longbottom did not stay long either. She said to Camryn, “Mrs. York, I’m leaving now. I’ll come by tomorrow to pick up the bouquet I ordered.”“Alright,” Camryn responded.Mrs. Longbottom stole a few glances at Callum before she left with her two bodyguards in tow. Camryn walked out of the shop to watch Mrs. Longbottom’s car leave. Once it was out of sight, she turned and went back inside.“What brings you here today?” Camryn asked her husband gently, heading to pour him a glass of water. “You should be very busy, with Zachary going on a trip.”Zachary was making a trip to
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.
Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,
It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in
“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and
The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi
In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com
