“Alright. We got it.”
These thugs had no idea who Serenity was. Carrie was not that dumb to let them in on it. No amount of money could buy these people to do her dirty work if Carrie let out
that Serenity was Mrs. York.
“Delete my number when you get the final payment. I can guarantee your safety so long as you do as I say.
“Don’t blame me for what’s to come if I catch you blabbering about it.”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Jones. We won’t breathe a word to anyone. We’re in this together since you pay us to do the job.”
Truth be told, Carrie did not even tell the thugs her real family name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe intended to dump the SIM card after the deed was done and she was through with contacting the thugs. The number was not registered to her name anyway.
Carrie hung up the call. Thinking that Serenity was about to get it, she burst out laughing.
Serenity should have minded her own business instead of helping Camryn. It was time Serenity got a taste of her own medicine.
Knock, knock.
Pulling herself back from the laughter, Carrie asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Carrie.”
Carrie went to open the door and let her mother in.
“I was just going to my room when I heard you laughing, Carrie. Did something nice happen? Share with me, so I can have a laugh too.”
Mrs. Newman asked with a smile.
Since returning from the Dowlings’ party, Mrs. Newman had been feeling bad for what happened to her darling daughter.
“I did something, Mom.”
Carrie first asked her mother, “Is the blind girl back yet?”
“Not yet. What’s the matter? Did you come up with something new to have a go at her? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have laughed so happily. I could hear you through the door.”
Hearing that Camryn was not back yet, Carrie had nothing to worry about. Her mother wore the pants in the house, so everybody’s loyalty was to Mom. No one would take
Camryn’s side.
Carrie told her mother the whole incident about going to Camryn’s shop to look for trouble and running into Serenity and getting into a fight with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPicking up that her daughter got into another conflict with Serenity, Mrs. Newman turned wicked and chilly in the eyes. Nevertheless, she quickly got a grip on herself and
chided her daughter, “Your father said we should steer clear of Mr. York for now. Mr. York is currently still into the country bumpkin. Don’t be at odds with her. Your father will
have to grovel at their feet for forgiveness if we offend her again.
“Your father is a proud man. He’d never bow down to anyone, and yet he had to apologize because of us. Although we don’t run our business in Wiltspoon, York Corporation is
not one to be underestimated.”
Zachary mentioned that Serenity took a liking to Camryn and wanted to befriend Camryn when her husband went to apologize to Zachary. In other words, Zachary was
warning the Newmans to stop picking on Camryn.
‘The whole family sure has a knack for getting into other people’s business.’
Mrs. Newman whined about Zachary in her mind.
Mr. Newman also went away on business from that very day. He was worried that Zachary might attack his business out of nowhere as he did with Lowe Enterprise. Lowe
Enterprise never saw it coming.
