Chapter 1290

Author: Gu Lingfei
Camryn walked around the cash register to retrieve the roses for Callum.

As if she just heard the footsteps, Camryn stopped what she was doing and turned her head to face Mrs. Newman. She indifferently uttered, “Mom.”

Mrs. Newman first checked Callum out. Unable to put her finger on the familiar face, she painted a smiling face and asked, “You look familiar, mister. And you are?”

The person with the Maybach was no ordinary man.

Straightening his back, Callum turned around and met Mrs. Newman’s gaze. He courteously responded, “Callum York.”

“Ah, Callum York.”

Mrs. Newman could count the time she had met the nine heirs of the York family because they rarely attended any social engagements.

The outside world would probably not know how the York boys look or what their names were if they never joined the corporate world.

The York family shielded their children well from the world.

Mrs. Newman beamed at the mention of Callum’s name.

She wanted to be friendly with the Yor

    “Are you here to bring Ms. Newman home for dinner? Is there something you need to discuss with her? If so, I don’t want to intrude on your mother-and-daughter time,” Callum tenderly asked Mrs. Newman, acting like he had no idea of Camryn’s status in the family. Mrs. Newman was not here to give Camryn a hard time for once. She came to notify Camryn of Old Mr. Marshall’s business engagement at Wiltspoon Hotel tomorrow night. Camryn was to go with Mrs. Newman. Of course, Camryn was not there to replace Carrie. Mrs. Newman merely wanted to introduce Camryn to an old CEO who may be helpful to the Newmans’ family business. Although Camryn was blind, she was prettier than Carrie. Camryn’s soft and calm voice was soothing to the ear. Mrs. Newman was sure the old CEO would be captivated by Camryn’s beauty. “You’re not a bother at all. I just want to say a few words to Camryn before I have to leave.” Mrs. Newman kept a friendly attitude in Callum’s presence. She said to Camryn, “Do

    “Either way, I’m going to send someone to get you tomorrow afternoon if you don’t come home. No matter what, you’re going with me tomorrow night.” Camryn remained aloof as she replied, “I can’t see, Mom. What do you mean, see the world? The world to me is darkness. There’s nothing for me to see.” “You!” Furious, Mrs. Newman was dying to give Camryn a slap. “I have said my piece. You can either listen or ignore it. Regardless, I’m sending a car to you tomorrow afternoon. I’m busy. I got to go.” Mrs. Newman could not get along with Camryn. Resentment and hatred overtook Mrs. Newman every time she saw Camryn’s face. Now that she had done what she came here for, Mrs. Newman said, “Sorry you have to see that, Callum. My daughter lost her confidence after losing her sight. “I want to take her to the party and help her out of her funk. Hopefully, she’ll find her confidence again. I need to attend to business, so I need to go.” Callum replied, “Sure. Bye, Mrs. Newman.” Mrs. New

    “Boss, go and have your dinner with Mr. Callum. I’ll watch the shop.” The employee smiled as Camryn and Callum walked out of the shop. Callum waited in the car for Camryn. With the latter handling herself well in her familiar surroundings, it was hard to tell that she was blind. This was the first time Camryn had taken a ride with Callum. She felt her way to the passenger’s seat, sat tight, put her cane away, and buckled up. She did not take the back seat, but not because she did not want to. Callum refused to let her sit in the back because it would appear as though he was her driver. Since Camryn would not dare order a certain York around like a driver, she sat in the passenger’s seat. The passenger seat was not the safest place to be. It was a good thing Callum was steady behind the wheel. He was not the kind to put the pedal to the metal. She did feel somewhat safe to take a ride in his car. “Where are we going to have dinner?” while starting the engine, Callum ask

    “Can you see just a little?” Callum sat right next to Camryn. By right, Camryn would not be so precise as to snatch the sunglasses out of Callum’s hands since she could not see. “You’re sitting next to me, so I can gauge the distance from your scent to retrieve my sunglasses. Well, I hope I can see a little, but too bad, I can see nothing.” Her world was only a single shade of blackness. “You look good without your sunglasses.” Callum complimented her looks. “Do you think my mom is trying to use my looks for something, Mr. Callum?” “I think you already have an idea. It’s easy to carry a conversation with intelligent people. You get what I’m trying to say without me getting into it.” Nana picked Camryn out of all the women to be his wife, so she clearly was not some bimbo. Although upbringing and history did not matter to Nana when it came to selecting her future granddaughter-in-law, one of Nana’s criteria was a good IQ level. They needed wits to survive in this dog-eat

    Camryn also had a younger brother who was protective of her, but it only lasted for a few years. Her mother went so far as to enroll her brother in a boarding school to stop contact between them. Her mother got rid of anybody who was good to her. “Didn’t you say the bouquet was for your fiancée?” Callum said with a smile, “Have you ever heard about me getting engaged? I just made that up to fool your mom.” Although Camryn was impaired in sight, she paid attention to the gossip about the wealthiest family in the city. Sure enough, she had never caught wind of an engagement. The only person who was tied down by a woman was Mr. Zachary, and his wife was Serenity. After Serenity lent Camryn a hand, Mr. Zachary even told her stepfather that Serenity hit it off with her. Her stepfather had since been kinder to her.Camryn’s stepfather treated her poorly in the past. While he would not torture or pick on her like her mom, her stepfather would keep mum whenever her mom and Carri

    Zachary’s family did not want to put the strain on Serenity. Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt and a senior on Serenity’s side of the family. She should be showing more love and affection to Serenity. “Aunt Audrey wasn’t trying to push me into having a baby. Her heart is in the right place. We have been a real married couple for a few months now, but I’m not pregnant yet. I think it’s normal she’d ask.” Sticking her hand out, Serenity gave him a squeeze on the cheek and smoothen his puckered brows. She said, “Don’t make that wry face. Your frown is scary enough to startle your timid wife. “You can be a ghost for Halloween with that face. No makeup required.” Amused by her remark, Zachary flicked her forehead. “Have you seen such a handsome ghost? If you’re timid, then there’s no one with nerves of steel in the world.“Fine. I’m not mad. I think it’s between us whether we want to start a family. Other people shouldn’t stick their noses where they don’t belong. Even my parents ar

    Serenity replied, “I think so too, but it’s too early to talk about this. We’ll see how things progress. I believe Elisa has feelings for Remy. My aunt will eventually give her blessing if there’s chemistry between them.” Elisa was always true to her feelings. During the time she was in love with Zachary, even when he did not reciprocate her feelings, she boldly pursued him. She would undoubtedly seek her family’s approval if the feeling was mutual with Remy. “Don’t worry about them, honey. They are not children. They can work it out on their own. It’s late. Let’s rest.” Zachary lowered his head to give Serenity a smooch on the forehead before whispering affectionately in her ear. “I will practice self-restraint so your body can rest too. I’ll just hold you tonight. I won’t touch you.” Lifting her chin, Serenity met his gaze and returned the kiss. They then slept in each other’s arms. She was always the first to doze off. It did not take long for Serenity to wander of

    Zachary answered in a mild manner, “I’m a nocturnal person. I’m not usually home at this hour.” He adjusted his schedule and was in the same time zone as the majority of people in the city after he got married. “Sit,” Julian said to Zachary. “This calls for some liquor. I brought out my good alcohol.” There was a bottle of liquor and two glasses on the coffee table. Judging by the alcohol in the glasses, the cousins had been drinking. Zachary rejected. “Thank you, but my wife doesn’t like me drinking. She’s not keen on the alcohol stench. I rarely drink when I go socializing now.” Julian was dumbstruck at first, but he soon burst into laughter. “Josh said the power of love has changed you. Now I believe him. You have changed a lot, Mr. York.” Zachary was not one to say no to alcohol during business engagements. He took a glance at Josh, smiled, and replied, “Josh doesn’t drink much now either. He stopped smoking too.” Josh jumped in. “Jasmine hates the smell of tobac

    Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenity’s checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenity’s checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zachary’s eyes, his wife’s matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

    Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The reason she ended up in this situation was entirely due to Camryn.She and Camryn were sworn enemies. Their conflict would not end until one of them was dead. However, even if she died, she would drag Camryn down with her.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at York Corporation, Zachary, seated at his desk, kept glancing up at his pregnant wife.

    “You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

    It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

    Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

    Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi

    Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

    Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

    While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w
