Elisa did not know that Clive would return. After she entered the hotel café on the first floor with Remy, Remy ordered a glass of fruit juice for her, while he ordered a cup of coffee.“Won’t you have trouble sleeping if you drink coffee now?”Elisa ordered some pastry as well.“No. I have a huge workload to deal with. If I don’t drink coffee, I won’t be able to stay awake until late at night.”His work schedule was so packed that he had to work late hours every day. If one day he had the chance to hold one of the most important days of his life, he would definitely find time to relax.“Elisa.”Shortly after the two of them started chatting, Clive came in and saw them sitting by the window. While walking toward them, he shouted at his sister.Elisa turned her head, only to see her brother walking toward him. She felt as though she was caught by her parents.Wait.

Most importantly, Elisa and Remy could get along well.“I’m in charge of all the businesses of FC & Co. in Wiltspoon. I’ll be staying in Wiltspoon for a long time, so it’s equivalent to settling down here. I’ll return to FC Manor occasionally, but I’ll be more of a guest. My mom always says that I treat FC Manor like a hotel as I usually stay for only two nights.”Elisa placed her hand under the table and poked her brother. After that, she leaned forward and whispered to her brother, “Clive, it’s very abrupt of you to keep asking Remy those personal questions. You two aren’t even close.”Elisa only became familiar with Remy after meeting him several times.Clive’s eyes settled on his sister.Was she not interested in Remy at all?Clive was helping Elisa to fish for information in advance.He recalled that when Elisa pursued Zachary, she ended up feeling hurt and becoming an object of ridicule.Clive took pity on her and understood that she had no feelings for Remy. It was proba

At Wiltspoon School, a convoy of cars made a turn from the highway to the road in front of the school gate. After that, they stopped a few hundred feet away from the school gate.A bodyguard got out of the first car. He pulled open the rear door and said grimly, “Ms. Newman, we’ve arrived at Wiltspoon School.”Camryn silently grabbed the white cane beside her. Then, her hand landed on the several gifts on the seat.Mrs. Newman was the one who prepared the gifts. Camryn had no idea what those were.She was picked up by Mrs. Newman at the florist. The second car was Mrs. Newman’s exclusive car. She pressed down on the window button and signaled to the bodyguard. When the bodyguard approached her, she said, “Tell her to walk straight about a thousand feet from where she alighted, and the first store on her left is Serenity’s bookstore.”The bodyguard acknowledged her order courteously. Before he returned to the car, Camryn had already groped her way out of the car with the gifts. S

Mrs. Newman kept Camryn unwillingly, but she did not fulfill her duty as a mother. Even though Camryn was her biological daughter, she was unloving toward her. After Mrs. Newman’s previous husband died, Camryn was still an immature kid who clung to her mother. Whenever Camryn bawled and wanted a hug from Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Newman would turn a deaf ear to it. When Mrs. Newman was distressed, she would kick Camryn away.Even the nanny was deeply shocked at the situation.Mrs. Newman hated Camryn. Although she beat, scolded, and even kicked Camryn, the kid would still bawl and scream, “Mommy, hug me.”After Mrs. Newman’s previous husband died, she did not have to put on an act and stopped carrying Camryn anymore.She ordered the nanny to carry the kid away, never wanting the kid to appear in front of her. She hated the sight of her elder daughter’s face.Camryn took after her parents’ strengths. She resembled both her father and Mrs. Newman, but somehow, Mrs. Newman would not love h

Camryn had asked her store assistant to help measure her steps as she was visually impaired. Given her short steps, she needed four steps to travel about three feet. Although roughly a thousand feet was not an exact figure, she had to walk over a thousand steps.Deep down, Camryn was counting her steps as she walked slowly.Mrs. Newman was not bothered about Camryn’s pace.After winding up her window, Mrs. Newman called her husband. Once her husband picked up her call, she said, “Darling, I made Camryn meet Serenity.”Mr. Newman hummed in acknowledgment before he said, “You need to speak to Camryn nicely. That way, she’ll be willing to beg for mercy on behalf of Carrie.”“Does she dare reject my requests?” Mr. Newman choked, unable to reply.“Darling, try to pull some strings and see if you can save Carrie. She has been pampered since young. How can she endure the hardship there?“At the thought that she’s suffering there, my heart aches so much. It was all Camryn’s doing. If

Soon, Camryn heard someone running toward her.Based on the footsteps, it was probably a woman.“Ms. Newman.”Camryn heard a rather familiar voice, which seemed to belong to Serenity.“Ms. Newman.”Serenity scurried toward Camryn. She bent over and extended her hand to hold Camryn. “Ms. Newman, are you alright?”“I’m alright.”Sure enough, it was Serenity.Deep down, Camryn thought that what the bodyguard said was inaccurate. If the bookstore was a thousand feet or so away, Serenity could not have noticed her arrival so soon.Serenity’s bookstore was probably located nearby.Jasmine helped to pick up Camryn’s white cane and the gifts, which consisted of two boxes of dietary supplements and two sets of skin care products.Instead of asking Camryn why she came, Serenity and Jasmine first assisted her to the bookstore. After Camryn was seated, Serenity shot a look at the gifts and asked, “Was it Mrs. Newman who made you come here?”“Mm,” Camryn hummed softly.Jasmine poured a

Serenity had reported the issue to the police. She would let the police handle it rather than privately asking for compensation from the Newmans.If the Newmans gave her a new car as compensation for her damaged car, she would accept it. However, she would only accept a new car of the same brand.Serenity bought the car in the fall of last year. She had driven it for less than half a year.Camryn silently shoved the card into her pocket.Serenity went quiet for a moment. Then, she asked Camryn in a more relaxed tone, “Ms. Newman, if I insist on pressing charges against Carrie, will you be able to survive in the Newmans’ house?”“I’ll have a rough time, but that’s how I’ve always been living in that house. Whether or not you press charges against Carrie, they’ll treat me with the same attitude.”Camryn added calmly, “Mrs. York, you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to take me into consideration. After all, the incident started all because of me. You did that to Carrie just

Camryn’s aunt heard that there was a specialist in Annenburg. She thought of begging the specialist to treat Camryn’s eyes. Her aunt said even if it was not possible to meet the said specialist, it would be good to have the specialist’s apprentice take a look at Camryn’s condition as well.The specialist’s apprentice was Camryn’s last hope.After a long period of treatment, Camryn could vaguely see. However, her vision was so unclear that she was no different from a blind person. Even so, she was elated and hopeful of regaining her sight.Nevertheless, she did not dare let anyone else know apart from her aunt.Anyhow, she was like a blind person right now, not able to see.“Ms. Newman, how do you know there are other people in my store when you’re visually impaired?”Camryn laughed and replied, “When I entered your store, I heard their footsteps. The steady footsteps belong to the men whom I guess are your bodyguards.”Serenity and Jasmine exchanged glances.It was said that th
