Chapter 3990
Carrie attempted to gather information about Mr. Labbe’s recent activities through her two bodyguards. It appeared that Mr. Labbe had set his sights on a new romantic interest and was busy trying to charm her. Although he had only recently claimed Carrie as his own, he already seemed bored and had moved on to someone else. If she were no longer useful to him, Mr. Labbe might have entirely discarded her and stopped providing the pocket money she depended on. Fully aware that it was only a matter of time before he abandoned her completely, Carrie began saving money. Her plan was to bide her time until she completed the task Mr. Labbe had assigned her. Once that was accomplished, she intended to take her savings, leave Wiltspoon, and vanish to a place where no one knew her. With that money, she envisioned purchasing a house, a car, and opening two shops to ensure a steady income. She dreamed of starting anew, finding a handsome man to marry, having children, and building a fulfilling life for herself. Additionally, she was determined to reclaim her rightful share of the Newman family’s property someday. If she couldn’t secure it all, she would settle for at least a third. Camryn wouldn’t get away with everything. Carrie’s hand instinctively moved to her belly, remembering the child she had aborted, her first pregnancy. Since the abortion, she often found herself gazing at other people’s children, pondering what might have been. Had she kept her baby, it would have been born this year, a child connected to her by blood. But that dream was lost, and in Carrie’s mind, there was only one person to blame: Serenity. Carrie’s hatred for Serenity ran deep. She was convinced that if Serenity hadn’t…
Had it not been for her involvement in helping Camryn, none of the subsequent events would have transpired. Everything spiraled out of control after that. Her parents ended up in prison, and the man she had once intended to marry became her brother-in-law, marrying the now-blind Camryn instead.
Blind Camryn.
Now, Camryn was much better off, having married into the York family as their second young lady. Thanks to a miraculous doctor, she regained her sight after being blind for ten years and took control of the entire Newman family’s assets. Meanwhile, Carrie was left with nothing.
Camryn now firmly held the Newman family’s property. The money that had once been in her parents’ possession was transferred to her younger brother on Camryn’s advice. In a foolish move, her parents handed over the money to her brother, who immediately entrusted it all to Camryn.
Carrie shook her head, forcing herself not to dwell on the past. She understood that if she allowed her hatred for Serenity to consume her, she might inadvertently reveal her true feelings and attract the attention of the wrong people. If Mr. Labbe caught wind of her bitterness, the consequences could be severe.
“Mrs. Labbe, you’re still young. If you take care of yourself, you can get pregnant again in the future,” Serenity said calmly.
Carrie’s moment of hatred did not go unnoticed by Serenity. Although Carrie quickly masked her emotions, Serenity caught the fleeting look of resentment. Both Serenity and Camryn were well aware of Carrie’s animosity toward them.
Carrie forced a smile and replied, “Yes, I’ll focus on taking care of myself first. When my sister-in-law starts elementary school and isn’t so attached to me, my husband and I can consider trying for a baby. We’re still young, after all.” She made sure to respond to Serenity’s comforting words with a thoughtful acknowledgment.
That sounded agreeable. The little girl she was holding tugged at her arm impatiently. “Sister-in-law, we’re going to be late,” the girl said. Carrie glanced at Serenity and Zachary and then smiled politely, saying, “Mrs. and Mr. York, I’ll take her in first. Let’s have dinner sometime when I’m free.” Carrie instructed the little girl to wave goodbye to Serenity and Zachary before leading her into the building.
Once Carrie and the little girl were out of sight, Serenity turned to glance at them one last time before walking toward the car with Zachary. “I wonder where she found that child to play along with her act,” Serenity remarked softly as they walked, her tone laced with mockery. “She’s quite convincing,” Serenity continued. “I have to admit, Carrie has matured significantly since her time in prison. She’s learned how to be patient.”
