Chapter 3591

Bianca smiled and said, “I can’t remember the last time I flew a kite. It feels like I haven’t done so since I grew up, but I used to fly them often as a child. Thanks to you, I can relive that joy today.”

Camryn handed her a kite and replied, “I rarely flew kites. As a child, my siblings all had kites, but I did not. Even though they weren’t expensive, my uncle and mother wouldn’t buy one for me. The kindest person in my life, the nanny, made me a kite, but it didn’t fly very high. I cherished it, but Carrie destroyed it after I had only played with it a few times. When I complained to my mother, she scolded both me and my aunt, forbidding her from making me another kite.”

“I didn’t have many toys. The only ones I had were from before I turned two. My father bought me lots of fun toys and beautiful dolls, which my aunt said I loved very much. After my father left, my mother gave all my toys away.”

“When Carrie was born, she received everything she desired. I envied her so much. Sometimes I would sneakily play with her toys, but when she discovered it, she would cry and tell my mother that I had stolen them. My mother never listened to my side and would just punish me.”

“She beat me severely. After each punishment, I felt pain for several days, and the scars on my body sometimes took a long time to heal completely. I became so afraid of being beaten that I never touched Carrie’s toys again.”

“Trenton would offer me his toys to play with, but I was too scared to take them, fearing my mother’s wrath. When my aunt was around, she would protect me, but after my mother drove her away, no one came to my rescue. Everyone just listened to my mother. Trenton tried to shield me when he was very young, but he was just a child himself.”

Camryn’s heart still ached as she recounted her childhood. She

thought she could discuss her past calmly, but whenever she tried, she still felt deeply uncomfortable. Perhaps her biological mother was the most cruel mother in the world— even more so than Snow White’s stepmother. Snow White’s mother was merely a stepmother, while hers was her biological mother. She was born after her mother carried her for ten months; she wasn’t adopted. Although she resembled her mother somewhat, she never experienced any maternal affection.

In her earlier years, she didn’t comprehend this and assumed all mothers were like hers. However, when Carrie was born, she realized that her mother was uniquely cruel to her. Her mother could exhibit gentleness, but that kindness was never directed towards her.

Even now, during her visits to her mother in prison, her mother expresses a desire not to see her. Her mother has stated, “Just pretend I was never born.” Camryn could choose to blame or hate her mother, but it wouldn’t matter; her mother wouldn’t care at all. In fact, her mother claimed that had she known Camryn would end up in her life, she would have strangled her at birth rather than allow her to live. She mentioned that if it weren’t for her uncle’s insistence on keeping her alive, he would have pretended to care only to avoid the rumors of having killed his brother, taken his brother’s property, slept with his brother’s wife, and abused his brother’s only daughter.

According to her mother, if her uncle hadn’t feigned concern, she would have beaten Camryn to death long ago. Her mother also scolded her aunt for interfering in family matters after marriage, asserting that if her aunt hadn’t returned to visit, Camryn would have died long ago.

Yes, her own mother had poisoned her and attempted to kill her. Although her aunt sent her to the hospital, she didn’t…

die—despite her blindness.

Thanks to her aunt’s intervention, she became nearly invisible within the Newman family, enduring a status even lower than that of a servant. However, at least she was no longer subjected to constant beatings. Although Carrie continually created difficulties for her, Camryn matured and learned to defend herself.
