Chapter 3500
When Carrie was released from prison, her hands were rough and her skin was darker. However, after some time and care, her hands regained their previous whiteness, tenderness, and smoothness. She was only twenty-one, having just celebrated her birthday after the New Year. Referring to her as twenty-one now was essentially her virtual age.
Girls at this age are like flowers, their faces filled with collagen.
After her release, Carrie refused to seek employment, spent her savings, and then asked Trenton for more money. She embraced a carefree lifestyle. Those who have never worked typically have white, soft hands.
However, the hands of the imposter Carrie were neither white nor delicate enough. They bore calluses, and her nails were short and unpolished.
Carrie had a passion for painting her nails and keeping them long, a habit she maintained since childhood. Later, her mother insisted she learn piano, which required her to frequently trim her nails. Carrie resisted learning the instrument and eventually quit after a few years.
Before Camryn regained her sight, the imposter Carrie would pinch and scratch her with her long nails while bullying her. Camryn had been scratched several times and, from the fake Carrie’s hands, recognized that she wasn’t her real sister.
When the fake Carrie insulted Camryn, no matter how viciously, there was a lack of genuine resentment. She seemed unhinged, yet her behavior was intentional.
Because she wasn’t the true Carrie, no matter how much she tried to imitate her, she couldn’t replicate the authentic animosity.
“You don’t know her well enough to tell. This person looks strikingly similar to Carrie, almost like a twin. Their voices and body shapes are nearly identical.

Aside from the minor details I mentioned, this Carrie lacks a certain something.
Nobility is inherent. Regardless of how willful and capricious Carrie may be, she is the second daughter of the Newman family, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and retains a certain innate elegance.
This kind of nobility cannot be learned; it stems from having lived in a wealthy environment for an extended period. Based on these subtle details, I would assert that the Carrie who came to cause trouble for me today is an imposter.
Callum, however, was indifferent to whether Carrie was genuine or not. Anyone who dared to insult Camryn would face severe consequences from the bodyguards.
He inquired, “Why would a fake Carrie come here to create trouble?”
Camryn sat down at the cashier, her expression thoughtful. She replied softly, “She wants to eliminate my suspicions. If I no longer have doubts, Serenity won’t either. Her target is Serenity; she aims to get close to her and win her trust.”
Callum recalled that Camryn and Serenity had mentioned how Mrs. Labbe’s voice and figure resembled Carrie’s, leading him to suspect a conspiracy.
Mrs. Labbe always seemed to encounter Serenity by chance, with too many meetings to be mere coincidence.
Initially, Callum had not suspected that Mrs. Labbe was connected to Carrie.
Reflecting on Mrs. Labbe’s earlier presence, Callum began to understand. “You mean the person behind your sister found a stand-in who resembles Carrie to come here and stir up trouble. Mrs. Labbe might even be your real sister. By having both appear before you at the same time, they hope to dispel your suspicion that they are the same person?”
Camryn nodded. “Yes. The fake Carrie immediately quarreled with me, and shortly after, Mrs. Labbe arrived. Her excuse was that her mother-in-law’s birthday was approaching, and she needed a bouquet of flowers. Since she knew I owned a flower shop, she came here. I’m not familiar with her, so why would she deliberately choose to patronize my business? If you suggest she came to collaborate with the fake Carrie in this act, I would believe it.”
Callum took a moment to consider. “You didn’t reveal their true identities?”
“Do you think I should have? They were performing, so I can do the same. I acted as if I didn’t recognize her and assumed the stand-in was Carrie. I’ll also let Serenity know about this and ask her to feign ignorance, believing that Mrs. Labbe is just Mrs. Labbe and not the second daughter of the Newman family. I want to uncover what Carrie is up to and who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The person capable of training Carrie to be noble, generous, and exhibit the demeanor of a mistress of the house is truly impressive!”
