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
“Carrie” arrived first. However, she had to wait at the gates as she did not have the key. She drove her car inside after Carrie went in. A few minutes later, the two women sat in the luxurious living area and stared at each other. “Do I look terrible now? I think my cheeks are like buns now.” The imposter touched her face. Her cheeks hurt and were swollen. The York bodyguards did not hold back their strength. Carrie could not resist laughing. “Yes. You do look bad. You look like a red apple now.”The imposter glared at her.“Why are you laughing? I took the hit for you. Bring me some ice now. My face hurts so much.”“Are you asking me to bring you ice?” Carrie’s eyes widened. “I’m the superior one here. You should be aware of this.”“I’m acting this way because I learned it from you. Do you think I’ve mastered your attitude after only a few days? I need to practice your manners so I don’t expose any flaws.”The imposter sounded confident. She simply could not resist h
The fake Carrie was filled with anticipation. She asked, “How many of the York men are unmarried?”Carrie knew what she was thinking. She said sarcastically, “Are you fantasizing about marrying into the York family?“Not anyone can join the York family. Look at me. I’m a Newman young lady. Before my parents went to jail, we had over a billion dollars worth of assets. Even then, we weren’t even comparable with the Yorks. During banquets, my mom would greet the York madams. However, they only nodded back and smiled.“We couldn’t even have a casual chat with them. It was impossible.“They rarely attended banquets. They would only be present if they were invited by people with important statuses in Wiltspoon.“Despite their low profile, these York madams are backed by wealthy families. None of the women in the York family is poor.”After a short pause, Carrie said with jealousy, “However, there’s one now—Serenity. She and Zachary’s love story is widely known in Wiltspoon. While she
It was all Aunt Evelyn’s fault. If it were not for her, Camryn would have been dead. Camryn had been blind for ten years. No one had expected her to be able to regain her sight again. Not everything was predictable. Carrie’s fake was speechless after being questioned. She was merely a stand-in. Even Carrie, a true elite lady, was unable to marry into the York family. Besides, Carrie had offended Callum. Her chances of becoming a Mrs. York were next to none. “Carrie” said regretfully, “I thought I could get lucky and become a missus in the York family like Serenity. It seems like it’s all wishful thinking.”Carrie smiled. “It’s no wonder you’d have such thoughts. Any girl who sees the York men will get attracted to them, regardless of her background. Unfortunately, none of the York men is normal. Usually, we’ll start getting attracted to people of the opposite sex when we reach a certain age. “However, they are different. They don’t have a love life. When they reach a m
It was every actress’s dream to be the female lead one day with her beauty and acting skills. Unfortunately, every woman trying their luck to be cast was beautiful. Even the fake Carrie’s looks were mediocre in the acting industry and not drop-dead gorgeous.Impersonating Carrie brought her a lot of income. She even got compensated for getting slapped, so she was earning a lot more than being an extra. “Wow, is it this easy to earn money? I’ll agitate your sister and make her slap me the next time we bother her again. That way, I can earn more money.”Carrie chuckled. “Are you willing to do that just for a few thousand dollars?”“You were born into a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury. You didn’t have to worry about basic necessities or money at all. You’ll never be able to experience the hardships we ordinary people go through.“You also said your family has over a billion dollars worth of assets. It’s an unimaginable amount for poor people. I can’t even gather half a m
Darren was helping her because he feared she would be woozy. Caroline sat on the sofa. Looking at the various dishes, she said, “We can’t eat them all. You didn’t have to cook so many dishes.”“It’s not much. The portions are perfect for two.”Darren placed a bowl of soup before Caroline. He asked her to taste it first. “You can start eating too.”“Okay.”Darren did as he was told. He delivered the food as soon as he finished cooking and had not eaten anything himself. He liked eating with Caroline. She had a good appetite and would not reduce her food intake just to maintain her figure, unlike other elite ladies. Caroline would eat whatever she wanted to her heart’s content.She would never deprive her stomach of food. At that moment, Caroline’s phone rang. “I’ll get it for you.”Darren put down his utensils and went to grab Caroline’s phone. He passed it to her, saying, “It’s Mr. Queen.”“Hi, Mr. Queen.” Caroline smiled. “Are you back from your vacation?”
“When did Mr. York arrive in Jensburg?” Caroline asked. “Not long ago. He wanted to tag along and visit you when he heard you were hospitalized.”Zachary had lied to Serenity, saying he had a business trip when he had gone to Jensburg.He was going to observe the situation in Jensburg and discuss their next steps with Audrey before returning to Wiltspoon. Zachary would be there for a couple of days, for any longer Serenity might find out.Caroline smiled. She said, “How thoughtful of him.”Strictly speaking, she was Zachary’s elder despite being several years younger. That was because she was Serenity’s first cousin once removed. Zachary was supposed to be respectful to her. Paying his elder a visit was expected, but everyone knew his true intentions. If it were not for Caroline warning Liberty, those people from Wiltspoon would not be as friendly to her. Even if they were nice to her, they would still be wary. Caroline understood their feelings. If it were her, she
