Since Duncan was Zachary’s best friend, Liberty could meet him often as she was Zachary’s sister-in-law. Carrie did not know what Liberty had done to seduce Duncan. He was determined to marry her. Corey had objected to their relationship in the beginning. It was said that her ideal daughter-in-law had been an elite lady called Lily Harmon. Duncan had met Lily. She ultimately lost to Liberty after pursuing Duncan for some time.Not only that, Duncan even got into an accident because he wanted to be with Liberty. After the accident, Derek and Corey gave in and accepted their son’s relationship with Liberty. Carrie was annoyed by the entire situation.Jealousy burned in her heart when she heard the gossip after getting out of prison. Before her parents got into trouble, her mother had wished for her to marry into the York family. Paige said the Yorks were the wealthiest of all and that the Newman family’s assets were not worth mentioning compared to the Yorks’. Nevertheles
After a moment of silence, Mr. Longbottom said, “That’s a good idea. I’ll get someone to look for a woman with a figure and voice like yours. I’ll also make a few more hyper-realistic masks modeled after your features. The woman can pretend to be ‘Carrie’ and show up when you do.”“We just have to clear Serenity and Camryn’s suspicions of me,” said Carrie. She did not want the fake Carrie to appear before herself frequently. It would feel as if she was being used. “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything.”Mr. Longbottom knew what Carrie was thinking. “I’ve got nothing else. Go back and have a good rest. Your body belongs to you. You should take care of yourself.”Mr. Longbottom still needed Carrie as a pawn for a long time. He did not want her to be weakened from the abortion and become utterly useless to him. “If a pawn loses its purpose, it’ll probably meet its end soon.”Mr. Longbottom added in a gentle tone. Despite his soft voice, Carrie felt chills down her spine
Carrie was traumatized by the dogs chasing after and biting her last time. She dared not even drive closer to the house once she spotted them. She parked her car far away and could not get out. Carrie took her phone and called Trenton. He did not answer right away but called her back several minutes later. “Where the hell were you, Trenton? Didn’t you bring your phone? You didn’t answer my call just now. Am I not your sister anymore?“You must’ve been busy pleasing that blind sister of yours. I guess you’re living a comfortable life from sucking up to her since she’s so successful now.”Carrie started scolding Trenton before he could say a word. “I’m working. I couldn’t answer the phone. I only called you back after hiding in the bathroom,” explained Trenton. The siblings would always fight regardless of whether they were on a call or meeting each other in person. Carrie scolded him every time. “Work? Where are you working? I told you that Camryn would seize all Mom and
Despite being close to home, Carrie dared not step inside. Her resentment toward Camryn deepened again. She also thought of her parents, who had transferred their assets to Trenton. Since he was still studying, he had left Camryn in charge of the family’s businesses. Therefore, Carrie resented her parents as well.“I’ll make you all kneel before me and lick my shoes one day.”Although her words were vicious, she still dared not drive closer to the villa. In the end, she turned around and left. She drove to Spring Blossoms, but Camryn was not there either. The two employees of the store refused to tell her where Camryn was. Carrie had the urge to smash the store yet had no guts to do so. Camryn would not let her off the hook. “If she isn’t here, I shall create a scene at Wildridge Manor.”Carrie exited the flower store and drove to Wildridge Manor. She knew the York family would not change their opinion of Camryn because of the ruckus she made. However, if she did n
Carrie’s expression immediately changed. She cursed Camryn countless times mentally. She absolutely despised Camryn’s dogs. “Are your gates wide open because important guests are around today?”Carrie changed the topic and asked what was going on in the manor. The guard said, “Please leave, Ms. Carrie.”He did not answer Carrie’s question. She guessed that there must have been important guests around. Otherwise, the gates would not have been wide open. She looked around but did not see any unfamiliar faces. Ultimately, she had no choice but to drive away after the guards urged her to leave. Carrie dared not throw a tantrum like she did last time. If she dared embarrass the York family while they were hosting guests by creating a scene at the gates, Zachary would probably murder her. Killing her was as easy as squishing an ant to the Yorks. When Carrie first became Mr. Longbottom’s mistress, she thought she had finally found a strong backer and could disregard the
Mr. Longbottom laughed and said, “I know you hate your sister and Serenity, but I must admit they’re smarter and more valuable than you are.”Carrie was speechless. He could have looked for them if they were better than her. Why did he choose her then?She did not even want to be his mistress anymore. He had ruined her future, yet he still blamed her for being useless and not as good as Camryn.Carrie utterly regretted not killing that blind bitch in the past. “If you can’t get in, just leave. Don’t get spotted.”Mr. Longbottom hung up after speaking. Carrie spewed a string of curses the moment he ended the call. Who would pay attention to her if she appeared as “Carrie”?On the other hand, Camryn soon found out about Carrie’s brief visit. After hearing that Carrie had come and left, Camryn called her people and told them to wait for Carrie by the road leading to the manor. They were instructed to stay hidden and follow her to see who she had been colluding with.Camr
“If Carrie has been wearing a hyper-realistic mask, does it mean she has an extremely powerful person backing her?”Sugar took the plate of snacks and asked the rest, “Do you guys want some? I think those little snacks are delicious. I like them.”Serenity smiled. “You can have more, but not too much because we’ll be having our meal soon.”Serenity and Audrey had rushed back to Wildridge Manor after meeting Corey.“By the way, Aunt Audrey and I met Mrs. Longbottom when we were leaving the cafe, and Carrie appeared as soon as we returned to the manor. How can there be such a coincidence?”Elisa asked, “Why do I feel like Mrs. Longbottom is targeting you? She keeps bumping into you.”The women exchanged glances. Serenity told Elisa, “Could it be Madam Fisher’s doing? She might be controlling everything behind the scenes.”Elisa dismissed that idea. “If she was that capable, the Fisher family wouldn’t be in this messy state now.”The Fisher family had lost its influence in Jensbur
Serenity smiled. “That’s great. Since you think of us as old friends, you won’t refuse our request, right?”“I… I’ll ask my senior to investigate this for you,” Sugar agreed resignedly. Nothing to blame but her big mouth.Serenity did not feel bad at all. She took her plate of snacks and passed it to Sugar, saying, “You can have one more piece. You’ll still fit lunch in later.”Sugar chose a small piece and said while eating, “Your snacks come with too big of a price.”“It’s not expensive. Help yourself. It’s free.”Serenity smiled. “Tell your senior that I’ll pay whatever amount he wants. He won’t be working for free.”Sugar quickly said, “You don’t have to pay us. I was just joking. I’ll definitely help you, but I need my senior because I’m not capable enough. It shouldn’t be too difficult of a task for him.“If he finds it tough, then it must be really challenging.”Sugar’s senior had an intelligence network that spanned the globe. It was he who discovered Laurence’s true
