“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
When Carrie had just gotten out of prison, her hands were indeed rougher, and her skin tanner. However, after some time of taking care of herself, she regained her previous smooth and fair complexion. After all, Carrie was only twenty. At this age, girls were like flowers, their skin full and bouncy with collagen.After Carrie was released, she refused to look for work. She lived off the money she had taken with her, and when that ran out, she would ask her brother for more. Her life was actually quite carefree. As someone who had never worked, her hands were naturally delicate and soft.On the other hand, the hands of the imposter were not as clean or as delicate as the real one. She had calluses on her palms, and short nails without manicure. Carrie liked to paint her nails and kept them long. She had always enjoyed having long nails since she was young. Later, when Paige forced her to learn the piano, she had to trim her nails frequently, which made her particularly resistant to p
