“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
Callum said, “You know your sister best. Even her parents couldn’t whip her into shape, yet that person had managed to turn her into an acceptable elite lady. Although she’s still lacking in some aspects, it’s close enough.“I’ll inform Zachary about this later.”Camryn said, “I think she’s targeting Serenity, but I have no idea why.”Callum reassured her, “Don’t overthink. We’ll find out soon enough. We can go have lunch when your employee returns.”“Are we eating at the manor or the hotel?”“The hotel. The manor is too far.”Although the old-timers were still at Wildridge Manor, they were leaving soon. Therefore, Callum and the others resumed their work or studies.Since winter vacation had started, most students did not have to go to school. However, Rowan, who was in his final year of high school, had extra classes, so his vacation would be shorter than the other students. “I didn’t want to return to the manor tonight, but now that I think about it, we should go back. Sere
Carrie said coquettishly. Mr. Longbottom laughed. “I can hear that you’re in a pleasant mood now. It seems like your idea is working well.”“Yes. It’s super effective. That blind girl will believe that Mrs. Longbottom and Carrie are two different people now. Of course, you’re also amazing for being able to find an imposter who looks so much like me.“I thought that stand-in was my twin. Her figure, face, and voice are so similar to mine.”Carrie finally believed that some people could look almost the same despite not being blood-related. She and “Carrie” were a perfect example. She had never met the stand-in before. Both of them were startled when they first saw each other. They thought either of their parents had cheated on their partners. Since then, Carrie feared Mr. Longbottom more. He was too powerful. Not only did he find a stand-in within days, but he also made her learn Carrie’s habits and speaking style.Carrie had always been arrogant and stubborn. Becom
However, time was not on their side. Mr. Longbottom knew things could not be rushed. Serenity and Camryn were always on their guard. Although Carrie had tried meeting them “coincidentally” and getting to know them, Serenity had always been cautious of her. Therefore, there had yet to be any progress. Mr. Longbottom had thought of venting his anger at Carrie, thinking she was useless. However, after he thought about it, it was not entirely her fault. She was incompetent from the start.Her parents had spoiled her rotten. Carrie had gotten into trouble and dragged her parents down due to her arrogance. It had caused the Newman family to fall into Camryn’s hands. Carrie also had to serve jail time and was targeted by Mr. Longbottom after she got out.She had become slightly smarter after he had gotten someone to educate her. Mr. Longbottom considered it a big achievement. “I will. I’ll succeed this time. I heard the York family is hosting a few important guests, but I
