Tania wore a nonchalant look. “I don’t worry about them.”Audrey remarked, “You and your sisters-in-law have no need for worry. The daughters-in-law Old Mrs. York has picked for you lot are all excellent. I have to get her to pick one for my boy Anthony too.”“That’s very true.” Tania laughed. “My sisters-in-law and I are fortunate, marrying into the York family was simply a blessing. The only hard bit was the nine months of pregnancy. We didn’t even have to worry about caring for the child after they were born because my in-laws raised them so well.”“Tania, stop talking. If you keep this up, I might go crazy from envy.”Tania just laughed again.“I heard Austin went to Satbury to work as a chef. He’s already his own boss. Why go so far just to work as a chef?” Audrey asked curiously.Tania chuckled. “Didn’t I mention earlier that he already has a match too? His nana was the one who chose her. It’s the eldest daughter of the Satbury O’Connors. His nana’s judgment is excellent, b
A car stopped in front of the flower shop.Camryn, who was trimming a large potted plant, looked up at the car. It seemed to belong to Carrie. After Camryn regained her sight, Carrie came back and took her own car. Camryn remembered the license plate number.Carrie drove a BMW 7 Series. It had been a gift for her eighteenth birthday. Camryn recalled that Carrie had proudly flaunted the car keys to her, saying that Camryn would never own a car or be able to drive because Camryn was blind. Carrie’s boastful laughter from back then still echoed in Camryn’s ears whenever she thought about it.Now, Camryn had not just her own car, but several luxury cars. However, the fact remained that she still did not know how to drive. She had considered getting a driver’s license but could not find the time because she was busy with work and wedding preparations. After Christmas, she planned to review her high school subjects and retake her senior year later in the year before taking the university
Carrie accused, “The both of you always treat me like a beggar.”Camryn looked away and continued trimming the flowers, her attitude as cold and indifferent as ever. “You’re perfectly able-bodied. Why don’t you find a job and support yourself? I have the money, but I won’t give it to you.”“Camryn, I have a share in the Newman’s family assets! Don’t you and Trenton dream of keeping it all to yourselves.” Carrie shouted angrily, “Is this how you act as an elder sister? Christmas is approaching, and you won’t even give me some money for the holidays!“Everyone is going on holiday, preparing for Christmas. How am I supposed to find a job now? Even if I did find one, I wouldn’t get paid in time for the holidays. If I don’t get any money, I’ll starve. Hurry up and give me some money—I need it for rent, fuel, Christmas presents, and new clothes for the holidays.”Camryn, still refusing to look at her, replied coldly, “Trenton received a large inheritance from your parents and is quite we
What part of her performance was flawed and exposed her?“How do I not have the grace of a young lady? Are you saying you have it? Camryn, even though you’ve regained your sight, in my eyes, you’re still that blind bitch—blind, blind, blind! I might look like a street thug now, but it’s because you and Trenton forced me into it. You two monopolize the family assets and don’t give me any. Trenton said he would give me ten to twenty thousand a month, but you only let him give me three thousand. I had a minor surgery recently, and Trenton still only increased it to five thousand a month. This small amount of money is hardly useful. It’s gone after just a couple of meals.”Camryn repeated, “You are able-bodied, no illness or pain. You can find a job and support yourself. If you can’t do anything else, you can work as a cleaner like both your aunts to earn some money. There’s nothing wrong with being a cleaner, it’s an honest job. You’d at least make a few thousand a month. If you’re out
“I’m not leaving. If you get them to throw me out, I promise you, I’ll make a commotion in front of your flower shop the entire day and make sure your reputation is ruined. Mine’s gone, but you’re not the same—you’re a York daughter-in-law.“I don’t care if you couldn’t care less—even so, would your in-laws not care about their reputation? Even if they protect you, others will still point fingers behind your back and say you’re unworthy of Callum. If it weren’t for you, I was the one he originally should have married. You stole my happiness.”Camryn chuckled. “If you’re capable of it, go ahead and take back the happiness you think is yours. If you can’t, stop yelling in front of me. Originally? Originally, I was the eldest Newman daughter. And yet, how did you guys treat me? Much of the family assets were originally mine too, but they were taken by your parents anyway, weren’t they?“You and your mother were just wishfully thinking about Callum. In reality, Callum didn’t even rememb
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
