Chapter 2557

Author: Gu Lingfei
Since Carrie could not reach Mrs. Clark, she called Brenda instead.

When the call connected, Carrie said, “Aunt Brenda, I got my stuff back. Now that I have money, can you help me to rent an apartment unit and live there for now? I’ll buy a bigger villa after settling the inheritance dispute with Camryn and getting more money.”

Upon hearing that Carrie had gotten her stuff, Brenda asked, “Did you manage to get into the house? Why didn’t you stay there? Isn’t it better to live in the villa? You’ll have to spend more if you rent a place.”

After a moment of silence, Carrie said, “Let’s talk about this when we meet. It’s not as simple as you think. My car is out of gas, so I’m going to fill it up first. I’ll head to your place after.

“Tell Aunt Amy and my cousins that I’m treating them to lunch. I’m thankful for Edward and Derrick’s help. I may be bad-tempered and reckless, but I’m not an ingrate. I remember all the help I’ve received.

“Things are a bit tough for me right now, but I’

    As for Paige, she probably would not be able to get out of prison. Amy disliked her sister-in-law. She thought Paige was a dangerous woman. She first married Abel and caused his death. Next, she married Cain, and they both ended up in jail. Although Cain was involved in Abel’s death, Paige was the mastermind. Cain had schemed Abel’s murder with Paige to be with her.Amy truly wanted to get revenge on Camryn. Now that she had become Callum’s fiancée and gained the York family’s support, they would not have the choice nor the guts to avenge themselves. Amy scolded Camryn mentally to release her anger. Camryn could guess where Carrie was headed after leaving the villa, but she could not care less.The Chandlers and Joyners could exploit Carrie all they wanted. Previously, Amy and Brenda continued reaping benefits from the Newmans despite having rich in-laws.Now that they were working, they desperately wished to return to the luxurious life they once had. Carrie was givin

    Someone probably upset Camryn and unleashed her pent-up resentment. Perhaps that was why she wanted to clear the room. Additionally, Camryn did not know the password to the room; not even he knew. Paige kept many things from Trenton as she felt he was siding with Camryn. Camryn was honest and told him all about Carrie’s early release from prison and her entering the villa that morning. Trenton sighed. It turned out that his troublemaker sister was out of jail. The Newman family would no longer be peaceful. He said, “You can move my parents' things to my room and tell Carrie to retrieve her stuff. You may clear her room too.”Since the house belonged to Camryn, she could decide not to let Carrie live in it. Trenton could not plead for forgiveness in Carrie’s stead. He knew better than anyone how Carrie tortured Camryn in the past. It seemed like Carrie had not turned over a new leaf after spending so much time in jail. Her putting on good behavior was merely a show for

    “Anyway, I can’t let Carrie lose all of our family assets. Aunt Amy and Aunt Brenda will definitely cajole her into giving them all her money. Carrie can’t handle flattery. She’ll easily give anything to whoever butter her up.”Trenton wanted to protect his family assets. Since his parents were still alive, the only viable solution was to transfer the ownership of all their assets to him. He would then move the assets to Camryn. He trusted her character and that she would not embezzle anything that did not belong to her.Camryn had no reason to do so anyway. Callum’s family was well-off, and she was his fiancée. She probably did not need Trenton’s money. “Cam, how much of the joint assets belong to my parents?”Trenton recalled his parents’ illegal businesses being seized, and the profits were confiscated. He could only inherit assets that were earned rightfully. Camryn replied, “All their illegal earnings and businesses have been seized. Newman Enterprise isn’t illegal. Lucki

    Cain had also done something unlawful.The illegal operations were seized, and although the amount involved was not particularly large, it tarnished the reputation of the Newman family. This led to a drop in the share value and a substantial decline in the family’s wealth and business.Now, Camryn had taken control of Newman Enterprise with Callum’s and the company had weathered the storm.Camryn had not discussed these matters with him; it was Dalton and Callum who informed him.He had only learned about the hardships hidden behind his sister’s calm demeanor.Camryn sought justice for her late father and had both of his parents sent to prison. This was difficult for him to accept because it meant his parents were criminals. While he had a hard time accepting Camryn’s “justice over family,” he understood her reasoning.The Newman family was entirely under Camryn’s control, but she had stated that she would never take a single penny of what did not belong to her.Anything that sho

    Callum believed in his own judgment, and he trusted his nana. After spending so much time with Camryn, he knew her character and her way of doing things inside out.“Once we get the marriage license, it’s for a lifetime, there’s no divorce, you know? You need to think it over carefully. A great man like you might meet someone better than me in the future, someone more suitable. When that happens, you might tell me that you only married me because your nana chose me, but the woman you meet later is your true love. I won’t allow it.”Callum playfully tapped her cute nose and said, “Haven’t you heard how people outside talk about us York men? We’re all devoted lovers. The family rule is that once you marry, you should be loyal to your family and your marriage for a lifetime—no affairs, no divorces!“If you violate this rule, you’ll be expelled and have nothing to do with the York family.“Also, I’m marrying you not because my nana chose you, but because I love you. If I don’t truly lo

    “Camryn, please give me a little time, alright? I’ll call my mom right away.”Callum planted a kiss on his fiancée’s cheek and immediately dialed Rosella’s number.It took a while before the call got through.“Mom, do you have a moment?”Rosella responded, “Hmm, I just woke up. I’m quite free today, what’s up? Do you need Mom’s help?”As her son grew up, there were very few things that required his parents’ assistance. She had already gotten used to the feeling of not being needed by her children.“I’m planning to go to the city hall with Camryn before noon to get our marriage license but I didn’t bring the household register with me. Could you or Dad bring it over for me now? Or maybe have someone deliver it to me? By the time I make the trips myself, it’ll be the afternoon, and I’d rather not wait that long.”If it were not for the missing household register, Callum would be eager to go to City Hall with Camryn right now to seal their marriage.Since he fell in love with he

    Camryn did not make any more excuses.She was only helping him manage his bank cards, not restricting his spending, and she had no need to use his money.Callum pecked her on the cheek and then looked at her with a smile. The more he looked, the more he liked what he saw.“Why do you keep looking at me and smiling?”“I’m happy, Camryn. I’m so happy. I can’t help but smile.”He broke into another chuckle as he spoke.Camryn found herself laughing at his antics.After a while of affectionate exchange, they checked the time. Estimating that Rosella should be there soon, Callum said, “Camryn, my mom should be arriving at City Hall soon. Let’s get going. She should be there by the time we arrive.”Callum also had to stop by a flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses.Camryn had suggested registering for their marriage all of a sudden, so he was not fully prepared but there was still time to make it special. From the flowers to the engagement ring, nothing should be lacking.This

    Martin smiled and said, “Indeed this is a good thing, a huge and wonderful thing. We’re very happy. It’s getting late, Callum. Take Camryn inside to complete the paperwork. The staff will be getting off work soon.”Prompted by their parents, Callum held Camryn’s hand while accepting the household registration permit that Rosella handed over along with the ring he had ordered in advance. Together with Camryn, he entered the city hall.Martin and Rosella waited outside for the two to come out.He tilted his head and said to his wife, “This reminds me of when we came here to get married thirty-two years ago. It feels like just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, our eldest son has also walked in here. Time flies, and we are growing old.”With Rosella’s hand in his, he said, “I’ve said it before, we will grow old together.”Rosella was moved. She said, “Yes, time really flies. I always feel like I’m only eighteen, but my son is already thirty. We are getting older, and we can’t den

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

    Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

    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
