Callum said, “You know your sister best. Even her parents couldn’t whip her into shape, yet that person had managed to turn her into an acceptable elite lady. Although she’s still lacking in some aspects, it’s close enough.“I’ll inform Zachary about this later.”Camryn said, “I think she’s targeting Serenity, but I have no idea why.”Callum reassured her, “Don’t overthink. We’ll find out soon enough. We can go have lunch when your employee returns.”“Are we eating at the manor or the hotel?”“The hotel. The manor is too far.”Although the old-timers were still at Wildridge Manor, they were leaving soon. Therefore, Callum and the others resumed their work or studies.Since winter vacation had started, most students did not have to go to school. However, Rowan, who was in his final year of high school, had extra classes, so his vacation would be shorter than the other students. “I didn’t want to return to the manor tonight, but now that I think about it, we should go back. Sere

However, time was not on their side. Mr. Longbottom knew things could not be rushed. Serenity and Camryn were always on their guard. Although Carrie had tried meeting them “coincidentally” and getting to know them, Serenity had always been cautious of her. Therefore, there had yet to be any progress. Mr. Longbottom had thought of venting his anger at Carrie, thinking she was useless. However, after he thought about it, it was not entirely her fault. She was incompetent from the start.Her parents had spoiled her rotten. Carrie had gotten into trouble and dragged her parents down due to her arrogance. It had caused the Newman family to fall into Camryn’s hands. Carrie also had to serve jail time and was targeted by Mr. Longbottom after she got out.She had become slightly smarter after he had gotten someone to educate her. Mr. Longbottom considered it a big achievement. “I will. I’ll succeed this time. I heard the York family is hosting a few important guests, but I

The fake Carrie was filled with anticipation. She asked, “How many of the York men are unmarried?”Carrie knew what she was thinking. She said sarcastically, “Are you fantasizing about marrying into the York family?“Not anyone can join the York family. Look at me. I’m a Newman young lady. Before my parents went to jail, we had over a billion dollars worth of assets. Even then, we weren’t even comparable with the Yorks. During banquets, my mom would greet the York madams. However, they only nodded back and smiled.“We couldn’t even have a casual chat with them. It was impossible.“They rarely attended banquets. They would only be present if they were invited by people with important statuses in Wiltspoon.“Despite their low profile, these York madams are backed by wealthy families. None of the women in the York family is poor.”After a short pause, Carrie said with jealousy, “However, there’s one now—Serenity. She and Zachary’s love story is widely known in Wiltspoon. While she

It was every actress’s dream to be the female lead one day with her beauty and acting skills. Unfortunately, every woman trying their luck to be cast was beautiful. Even the fake Carrie’s looks were mediocre in the acting industry and not drop-dead gorgeous.Impersonating Carrie brought her a lot of income. She even got compensated for getting slapped, so she was earning a lot more than being an extra. “Wow, is it this easy to earn money? I’ll agitate your sister and make her slap me the next time we bother her again. That way, I can earn more money.”Carrie chuckled. “Are you willing to do that just for a few thousand dollars?”“You were born into a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury. You didn’t have to worry about basic necessities or money at all. You’ll never be able to experience the hardships we ordinary people go through.“You also said your family has over a billion dollars worth of assets. It’s an unimaginable amount for poor people. I can’t even gather half a m

“When did Mr. York arrive in Jensburg?” Caroline asked. “Not long ago. He wanted to tag along and visit you when he heard you were hospitalized.”Zachary had lied to Serenity, saying he had a business trip when he had gone to Jensburg.He was going to observe the situation in Jensburg and discuss their next steps with Audrey before returning to Wiltspoon. Zachary would be there for a couple of days, for any longer Serenity might find out.Caroline smiled. She said, “How thoughtful of him.”Strictly speaking, she was Zachary’s elder despite being several years younger. That was because she was Serenity’s first cousin once removed. Zachary was supposed to be respectful to her. Paying his elder a visit was expected, but everyone knew his true intentions. If it were not for Caroline warning Liberty, those people from Wiltspoon would not be as friendly to her. Even if they were nice to her, they would still be wary. Caroline understood their feelings. If it were her, she
