Chapter 3024
Author: Gu Lingfei
Birth rates started falling as fewer marriages took place.

Even newly introduced government policies were unable to incentivize the younger generation to marry and have children.

Camryn and Tasha soon arrived at the manor’s entrance while chatting.

As most guests were arriving at that hour, the Houses’ outdoor parking lot could not fit that many cars.

The employees were directing the guests to park outside the manor or by the roadside, which already had a long row of cars parked.

“Ms. Tasha.”

One of the maids called Tasha the moment she walked out.

Tasha first greeted the guests who had just arrived and got someone to guide them into the manor.

After looking around, she could not spot Mrs. Longbottom. She asked, “Where’s Mrs. Longbottom?”

“She’s still in her car. It was just parked.”

The maid pointed at a luxury car not too far away.

In the car, Carrie had spotted Camryn and Tasha. She used to attend banquets often with her mother and had met Tasha several times. How

    Carrie greeted Tasha sweetly and shook her hand. Next, she looked toward Camryn. Tasha introduced, “This is my friend, Camryn. She’s the Newman family's young lady and also the York family's second missus.”Carrie said to Camryn, “So this is Mrs. York? Have we met before? I think we’ve seen each other at a bookstore.”Camryn’s expression was soft. She smiled. “Yes, we did. I find your voice very familiar.”Carrie felt nervous. As expected, Camryn knew her voice well. ‘Calm down. Don’t expose anything. If Camryn notices something, Mr. Longbottom will be furious. I’ll be in great trouble if he gets angry.‘What is there to be scared of?’Carrie kept telling herself that there was no need to fear Camryn. It had always been her bullying Camryn. “Why do you think so? I believe we’ve only met once.”Carrie pretended to look confused. She said, “We saw each other in a bookstore near Wiltspoon School. I was buying some books for my brother-in-law.”Camryn maintained her expres

    ‘Camryn had wronged me first. How dare she say I’m the one to blame?’Camryn was slandering her simply because she could not defend herself. The public praised Camryn for her gentleness. Although she was constantly bullied and treated worse than a maid in the Newman family, she seemed more like an elite lady than Carrie was. No one knew how cunning Camryn was. Tasha smiled. “Let’s head inside, Mrs. Longbottom.”She did not forget to hold Camryn’s hand after speaking. Camryn could see, but it was only limited to short distances. Tasha knew she needed to take care of Camryn, whose sight was like that of someone with high myopia. Although they had not interacted much before, they quickly got along that night. Tasha liked being friends with Camryn. Carrie was jealous upon seeing Tasha taking care of Camryn. Her bodyguards were worried that she might expose herself. When Tasha was not paying attention, they stepped forward and nudged Carrie as a reminder to control her emo

    “You’d do the same if you were her. Would you have revealed your plan to avenge your dad and send your stepfather and mother to prison?“If you did, you wouldn’t survive.”Sally was rendered speechless. After some time, she said, “Anyway, I don’t like her.”“Camryn doesn’t need you to like her. I only introduced you two to each other because I’m your friend. Since you’re so arrogant, forget it. Forget this ever happened.”After speaking, Tasha left. She and Sally had known each other for several years. The Abrams family may have kept a low profile, but they had quite the status in Wiltspoon. Otherwise, Sally would not have turned up at the Houses’ banquet. Tasha felt like she had misjudged Sally based on how she treated Camryn. Sally usually seemed like a generous lady, so it never crossed her mind that Sally would treat Camryn that way. Maybe Sally thought Camryn should not have sent Mr. and Mrs. Newman to prison as they had raised her. However, Mrs. Newman was not jai

    No wonder Elisa was her only best friend. Tasha was not picky about friends, but… It was difficult to sustain a friendship when two parties shared different views. “Camryn only regained her sight because of Callum. He had to travel several times to get Dr. Carden to treat her eyes. I don’t know how Camryn got so lucky to receive his love.“I saw it when she came in too. Mrs. York treats her well. I heard that she’s very protective of Camryn.“Some people are just lucky.”Tasha sensed the jealousy and bitterness in Sally’s words, especially when Callum was mentioned. She eyed Sally and asked straightforwardly, “Do you have a crush on Callum?”Sally blushed immediately. Indeed she had. Whenever she saw him during banquets, she would hover within his peripheral vision deliberately. Unfortunately, she never caught his attention, not even once. She told her mother that she liked Callum and wanted to be his wife. Her parents supported her, but they said she had to count on he

    Sally blushed and said, “The York brothers are fine men. Their parents are open-minded too. Men of the Yorks are loyal to their wives. They have an excellent reputation. “Who doesn’t like outstanding men? I started liking Callum after meeting him several times.”Tasha admitted that Sally’s take on the York family was spot on. She replied, “You’re free to like whoever you want, but Callum is married. You should give up.”“I liked him first.”Sally muttered, “Camryn simply had a headstart when I was deciding on how to confess.”Tasha laughed. “Love isn’t first come, first served. It’s about fate. Two people who have known each other since childhood won’t end up married if they weren’t destined to be together.”Elisa knew Zachary a few years earlier than Serenity, yet she failed to win his heart. On the other hand, Zachary and Serenity got married right away. Zachary would rather marry a stranger than accept Elisa’s feelings. Therefore, love did not work on a first-come, firs

    A few ladies gathered in the lavish living area. They conversed with polite smiles plastered on their faces. Born with a silver spoon and married into another wealthy family, they have lived in luxury and every action was infused with elegance. Carrie was led into the manor where she greeted Mrs. House and had small talks with. It was her first public appearance as Mrs. Longbottom. Everyone barely knew her. Carrie was quick-witted enough to mingle with other guests and initiate conversations. In the past, she had attended many banquets with Paige and acquainted herself with quite a few madams and young ladies. Although she was Mrs. Longbottom now, she could still interact with people she recognized. Since they did not know she was Carrie, she could use it to her advantage and carry the conversations based on their preferences so as to get along with them. After Camryn entered, she sat beside Rosella instead of approaching Carrie. Rosella glanced at Carrie, who was engag

    Rosella only withdrew her gaze once Camryn was with Tasha.Her good friend said of her, “Your daughter-in-law seems very precious to you. She’s only a couple of feet away. Are you that afraid she’ll fall or something?”Rosella laughed. “She’s precious, alright. To the Yorks, all daughters-in-law are treasures that deserve to be doted on and cherished by the whole family.“My boy Callum only got married when he turned thirty. It wasn’t easy, and I only have one daughter-in-law now, so it’s natural to pamper her and treat her like a precious person.” Rosella made no secret of her satisfaction and love for her daughter-in-law.Her friend laughed. “The men of your family are famous for pampering their wives a lot and the women are famous for doting on their daughters-in-law. I don’t have any daughters, but if I did, I would do anything to latch onto you guys and become your in-laws.“This is your daughter-in-law’s first public appearance at a gathering like this, but she’s not shy a

    Camryn politely refused the glass of red wine. “I still have to take medication daily, so I can’t drink. I have to mind my diet too.”“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”Tasha hurriedly apologized. “I’ll drink it, then.”“Tasha, you’re being such a suck-up.”Sally’s slightly nasally voice cut in.She still could not suppress the envy she felt for Camryn. When she saw the two sitting together and eating, she walked over to them with a glass of red wine in hand and happened to hear the exchange.Her acerbic words did not seem to have been filtered through her brain before being said.“You can’t drink, Ms. Newman? How do you usually network and strike deals, then? You can’t be relying on your looks.“Oh, that’s right. Ms. Newman has a good figure, good looks, and she's so gentle. Men would melt at the very sight—there aren’t any deals that can’t be cinched then.”The moment Sally finished speaking, Camryn and Tasha splashed their red wine at Sally almost at the same time.Sally did not

    “I’m not obliged to provide for you, Mr. Clark.”Darren would not give Hunter money. He also felt Hunter was trying to obtain some information through the call, not money. Hunter said furiously, “Aren’t you going to marry Caroline? You’ll be my son-in-law in the future. It’s like being half a son to me. Since you’re my son, you should look after your father. Quick. Give me the money.“Otherwise, I won’t let you marry my daughter.”Darren said without hesitation, “Ms. Caroline will decide for her marriage.“If we do get married, she’ll be the one in charge of the finances. I don’t have money.”“Fletcher! Are you a man? Can’t you revitalize the spirit of the Fisher family’s sons-in-law? You saw how I ended up like this. I didn’t have access to the finances and didn’t have money. I’ve been under strict control ever since I married into the family.“That was how I ended up in this miserable state. I’m telling you, the Fisher women are evil. It’s best if you don’t marry Caroline.

    “Why would a husband have an affair if his wife could do well?”Ellie was exasperated. She ended the call without hesitation. “Old bastard. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. All your sons cheated on their wives because they have a perverted father like you.“I would’ve divorced Jason if it weren’t for my children being too young. Look at Emma now. She even received half of Adrian’s assets and doesn’t have to look after her children herself. How relaxed her life must be.”The wealth Belinda had left behind was sufficient to afford the children’s education. Ellie still had feelings for Jason. Otherwise, she would have gotten a divorce upon knowing he cheated on her. She would not have reconciled with him with just a little coaxing and advice from her family. Since Jason did not return home the entire night, Hunter guessed his sons’ plan had failed. As he had expected, Caroline was not an easy target. After all, she was Belinda’s biological daughter.

    Since the call ended abruptly, Adrian’s girlfriend, Irene, muttered, “Is Mr. Clark unsatisfied with me?”She was almost twenty years younger than Adrian. If he had not been rich and willing to spend his money on her, she would not have wanted to be his lover. Adrian promised to marry her after he was done fighting a legal battle against his sister and claiming his inheritance. He would make her the missus of the Clark family. As for the three children he had with his ex-wife, he had told Irene not to worry about them.Since his mother had left some money behind for her grandchildren, he did not have to pay child support. Irene knew Adrian used to be a young master of the Fishers and that Madam Fisher was extremely wealthy. She did not expect Belinda to be helping her son take care of his children even after her death. Considering Adrian would be able to receive a huge portion of inheritance in the future, Irene decided to be with him. If she did get married to him, and gave

    Hunter could not fall asleep before receiving an update. He honestly did not like Caroline. He despised her from the bottom of his heart. Nevertheless, he still felt a hint of sadness when his sons were going to kill her. After all, she was his daughter with his blood running in her. “Carol…”Hunter murmured, “You should blame yourself. Your brothers couldn’t tolerate you anymore because you went overboard. You brought this upon yourself.“When everything’s over, I’ll place flowers on your and Belinda’s graves.“I hope you’re doing well in the afterlife. Just don’t come to me in my dreams too often.“I’m old and easily frightened. I might have a mental breakdown if you torture me in my dreams.”“What did you say, Mr. Clark?” Hunter’s housekeeper asked. Hunter immediately picked up his spoon. He replied, “I was sending my son a voice message. I wasn’t talking to you. You can go on with your work.”The housekeeper nodded. She looked from the entrance of the dining area

    “Okay. You can go anywhere you want. I’ll always be with you.”Darren added, “No matter what you do or where you go in the future, Ms. Caroline, you can never send me away. You can’t do this again.“It’s too dangerous. Your life is at risk if something happens. It’s not worth doing this for the likes of those people.”The Clark brothers could have really killed Caroline. “This won’t happen again. It’ll just be this once. They’re not worth the risk. Let’s just consider this as paying off my debt of gratitude toward my mom for giving birth to me and for the love she had for me in the end.”Caroline added, “I broke all ties with my family last night.“Have you sent the money to my dad?“This will be a one-off payment. We probably won’t be in contact anymore.”After speaking, Caroline felt depressed. She truly did not have much luck when it came to family.“I’ve prepared the money. I’ll meet Mr. Clark a few days later after your injury gets better.”Darren wanted Caroline to f

    Although Jacob and Michael were older than her, Caroline fought back valiantly and threw anything she could reach at them. She even chased after them around town with a billhook before. Jacob and Michael were pale from fear. When Carmen tried to avenge her sons, Caroline did not hesitate to swing the billhook at her too. Her reckless resistance shocked the Dott family. From then onward, they no longer dared to hit her. Even so, Caroline had to live with them. Naturally, she was still abused. She could never eat and sleep well. She was not given nice clothes either. Marc Dott, who was responsible for changing her life, never stopped his family or defended her even once. Caroline despised her adoptive father the most. He ended up dying in prison due to an illness. Caroline knew Belinda had gotten someone to kill him. She did not pity Marc at all and even thought death was too light of a punishment for him. After Caroline returned to the Fisher family, Carmen and h

    “I want to touch your face, Darren.”Although Darren was still straight-faced and angry, he bent over so that his face was within her reach. “Look at you. Your face feels as hard as marble.“You shouldn’t let such a handsome face be so stiff. I don’t like seeing you with a straight face. I like it when you’re gentle.”Darren said unhappily, “I’m not a gentle person, Ms. Caroline.”He had received intense training at the center. How could he possibly have a warm personality after going through all that?He simply looked softer when he was in a good mood. Caroline probably found him gentle due to his handsome face and politeness. Despite his words, his expression softened. “Don’t be angry, Darren. I’m fine. I didn’t lose a leg or an arm. My head is still intact. I wasn’t chopped to pieces and fed to the fish.“I even calculated your speed and deliberately let them scratch my arm. I wouldn’t have given them the opportunity to injure me the second time.“It was also their fi

    It was possible that the caretakers of the Fisher family cemetery would not even allow her brothers to visit the graves.The Fisher family members harbored deep resentment toward Belinda.“Liberty, don’t worry. I’m not going to die. I don’t feel like I’ve lost out by doing this.”“Shush—enough with the talk about dying early in the morning. We’re all going to live long lives.”Caroline smiled again, “Alright, alright, we’ll all live long lives. Stop looking like the sky is falling. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry.”Liberty scolded her, “Don’t you cry. I’m just heartbroken, so heartbroken. Why didn’t you trust me?”“Liberty, it’s not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't trust my three brothers.”Liberty could not say anything to that.“Ms. Caroline, you must be hungry. I bought you a bowl of plain oats porridge. You have a cold, so you have to eat simple meals for the next few days.”Darren returned with a bowl of oats.He then said to Liberty and her husband, “

    Liberty had said that she would not bother with the Clark brothers as long as they kept a low profile or stayed away from the center of Jensburg, not provoking Liberty or trying to seize control of the Fisher family.However, Caroline did not believe her brothers would do nothing.If she did not put them away, they would do everything in their power to stop Liberty from taking over the Fisher family, and in the end, it would lead to the destruction of their family and leave them with absolutely nothing.However, this was a Pyrrhic victory for her.“She just wouldn’t listen and refused to let me get involved,” Liberty said as she sat by the bed, gently touching Caroline's still-swollen face with a heart full of concern.“Mr. Fletcher, you should use ice to help reduce the swelling on her face. It will help her recover faster.”Darren replied, “I’ve been applying ice to her face from time to time. Plus, even Madam Belinda couldn’t change Ms. Caroline’s mind once she made a decision
