Chapter 1012


    The chilly spring and the soak in the bath of ice water gave Carrie a cold. With her temperature running


    high in the middle of the night, Mrs. Newman was quick to notify the family doctor. The doctor


    examined Carrie and prescribed her medication. Mrs. Newman fed her daughter the medication and


    stayed by her daughter’s side.


    Mrs. Newman only left her daughter’s bedroom when Carrie’s fever subsided.


    “Where’s Camryn? Didn’t shee backst night?”


    The mention of her elder daughter turned Mrs. Newman’s tenderness into a scowl. “That blind girl got


    Ms. Stone’s help through some dumb luck. That country bumpkin was on her side too.


    “That country bumpkin with no parents thinks she’s all that after marrying into a wealthy family. Carrie


    would’ve been fine if she stayed out of our business. The country bumpkin struck fast. She must work


    out in the gym a lot.”


    The couple talked aboutst night’s incident while walking down the stairs.


    Mrs. Newman hated Serenity’s guts. Her daughter would not have fallen sick and been made a fool if it


    were not for Serenity.


    “Camryn’s business operates at eight o’clock in the morning. She should be out by this hour.”


    Mr. Newman faintly replied, “Carrie went a little too far this time. Camryn is her sister no matter what.


    What would people think of Carrie if she keeps picking on Camryn? Carrie is twenty now, and soon it’ll


    be her time to get married. Who will want to marry her if she acts like this?”


    “Carrie is the best. It’s not like we don’t have money. I will find her the perfect man if she feels she’s


    ready for marriage. The guy should marry into our family. I don’t want her to take someone else’s


    name.


    “She’ll feel right at home in our ce rather than be someone’s daughter–inw.


    “Don’t stick up for Camryn. She’s a troublemaker and a devil. Carrie’s reputation wouldn’t be so bad if it


    wasn’t for her. I told you. We should’ve left her to die.”


    “Honey!” Mr. Newman eximed with a stern face.


    Mrs. Newman pursed her lips without saying anything more.


    A whileter, she said, “Carrie was humiliated and put through hell. Aren’t you going to do anything


    about it?”


    “What do you want me to do? It doesn’t matter that the Hunt girl is a lowborn. She’s Mrs. York now.


    This is a fact. Everybody knows Mr. York is an uxorious husband. Elisa is not one to mess with either.


    “It was excessive of Carrie. She usually has harmless fun with Camryn, but she crossed the line by


    trying to drug Camryn this time. You better talk some senses into Carrie when she gets better. Stop her


    from wrecking Camryn’s flower shop.


    “No matter what, Camryn is my brother’s only daughter.


    “Put together a gift. I’ll head to York Corporation with the gift and meet Mr. York to apologize to him and


    his wife.”


    Mrs. Newman grimaced. “The Hunt girl upset me and Carrie. She even embarrassed Carrie. Why are


    you apologizing instead of sticking up for us?


    “People are afraid of Mr. York, but he doesn’t scare us. It’s not like our family business is in this city.

    What’s Mr. York going to do about it?”


    Mrs. Newman believed Zachary was not that powerful to run their business to the ground since they


    were not operating in Wiltspoon anyway.


    That was the reason Mrs. Newman did not see Serenity as a threat.


    Unbothered to exin his actions, Mr. Newman sternly uttered, “Just do as I say. Do you think I don’t


    feel bad that our daughter is humiliated, hurt, and sick?


    “Mr. York is a dangerous man. We better offer peace before hees after us.”
