Besides, Sonny had his strengths. He was better at reading and writing than Laurence. Although Laurence could read, he could not write well whereas Sonny was a good writer. He was one of the best among children his age. Uncle Zak told him that when he showered him with compliments. Uncle Zak would not lie to him; he was a husband and a CEO, so he would always speak the truth. With those thoughts, Sonny stopped pouting and pulled Laurence. “Let’s go and get something to eat. I’m hungry.”“I’m hungry too.”The boys happily hopped back into the house. …At the Newmans, Carrie stood far away from the villa’s gate and dialed Trenton’s number continuously. After some time, Trenton came out. When Carrie saw him, she walked over with a dark expression and slapped him across his face. It was resounding. Trenton did not expect his sister to slap him the moment he went to her. He thought she had specially come to see him because she knew he was returning to his university. Th

“You bastard. Now that you’re an adult, you and Camryn bully me together. I know everything. Your intention for visiting Mom and Dad in prison wasn’t pure. I thought you missed them, but you were aiming for their fortune.“I have a share in our parents’ assets too, Trenton. Don’t even think of monopolizing it. Mom and Dad love me the most. They won’t transfer everything to you. You should stop bothering them.”Carrie had gone to visit her parents too. That was how she found out Trenton was trying to get their parents’ assets that were not confiscated to be transferred to him while she and Camryn would not get anything.It was natural that Camryn would not get a single penny because she was not their biological daughter. However, Carrie was. She was their favorite child as well. How could she not have a share?Carrie had consulted a lawyer and was ready to fight Camryn through a lawsuit to get everything back. However, she never expected that Trenton had planned to take everything
Married at First Sight Chapter 2688
The Newman couple was strict with Trenton and trained him to be independent at a young age because they wanted him to succeed them. How could a successor take over the family if they could not stand their ground and be independent?However, they kept it subtle because Trenton was still young then. Now that he had grown up and Carrie kept stirring trouble after getting out of prison, their parents agreed to transfer all their assets to him to protect them. Trenton also promised to ensure Carrie’s life essentials were covered. He would stop giving her allowance once she could earn money to sustain herself. However, if she were to get married, he would give her a large sum of money and luxurious presents to send her off. He also made it clear that Camryn would not take anything—she only wanted justice. “Mom and Dad won’t agree to this. They wouldn’t. You should stop dreaming.”Carrie knew her parents had already agreed to the plan. She was simply in denial. She refused to beli

Trenton refused. “I can’t help you there, Carrie.“I can’t change Camryn’s mind. What I’m spending now comes from her. I still need her to support me financially. How can I influence her to change her decisions?”Even if he could persuade Camryn to reactivate Carrie’s bank card, he would choose not to do it. Trenton and Camryn’s aim was to prevent Carrie from losing all the family’s money. He wanted to force Carrie to be independent and build her own life. Otherwise, Carrie would be suppressed by Camryn for the rest of her life. After all, Carrie was Trenton’s biological sister, and he wanted to see her do well. “Since you know she’s this unreasonable, you should work with me instead of falling prey to her lies. Was it her idea that you meet Mom and Dad and get them to transfer their assets to you? She must’ve taught you that, right? She probably badmouthed me too.“Camryn wants to take everything belonging to the Newmans, Trenton. Worrying that I might lose everything is ju

However, Trenton himself would be in charge between him and Carrie. Carrie quickly accepted the money. She caught up to Trenton and pulled him back. “Give me more money, Trenton. Transfer me a hundred thousand, no, fifty thousand dollars is fine too. Five thousand really isn’t enough. Or else, you can steal the title deeds with my name on it and the spare keys from Camryn.”She recalled that Mom had bought her a few houses. When she was studying, she did not stay in the dormitory and lived in a private property her mom bought instead.After Carrie stopped studying, Paige let out that and some other properties but never told her how much the monthly rent was. The only thing Carrie knew was those houses were for her. As long as she could get the title deeds and keys, she could sell them and earn a lot of money. Those houses were located in school catchment areas. One of them could easily earn her millions. “Why could Camryn take my title deeds? Those are my assets, and she to

Camryn looked at Trenton’s swollen cheek and asked, “Did she hit you?”Touching the side of his face that was slapped by Carrie, Trenton replied, “Yes, she slapped me. But I stopped her when she tried to do it again. She went to see our parents and found out that I had them transfer the family assets to me, so she came to settle the score.“Camryn, don’t bother with Carrie. She’s spoiled by our parents, doesn’t know her limits, and needs to face reality. Only through life’s experiences can she mature a bit.”Camryn tenderly touched the swell and said with concern, “She’s just a lunatic, spoiled by Mom. If she can’t protect her child for a lifetime and ends up raising a useless person, then she’s only harming the child.”Carrie was a victim of her parents’ indulgence; spoiling a child was akin to harming the child.“Go inside and apply an ice pack.”“Okay.”The siblings headed in together.Meanwhile, Carrie went back to her rented house, grumbling and complaining.When she open

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “My surname is Longbottom. Now, you've gotten to know me, Ms. Carrie.”His gaze was quite audacious. After Carrie approached, he shamelessly scrutinized her, finally displaying a satisfied look at Carrie’s figure and appearance.“Ms. Carrie, please have a seat. Let’s have a chat.”“Mr. Longbottom, this is my home. Don’t act like you’re the master here. You have illegally entered. Do you know that I can call the police on you at any time?”He laughed. Not bad looking for a man in his forties or fifties, presenting the image of a suave middle-aged man.However, his gaze was overly audacious, and Carrie did not like the way his eyes roved over her, as if scrutinizing prey.“Yes, yes, it’s our mistake. Apologies to you.”With that, Mr. Longbottom clapped his hands.A bodyguard stepped forward and handed a new handbag to him.Mr. Longbottom took the bag and then passed it to Carrie, saying with a sly smile, “Ms. Carrie, this is my apology to you

Carrie asked in confusion, “Why would I want to change my appearance? I’m satisfied with my natural looks and don’t want to change anything about it.”Mr. Longbottom smiled. “Ms. Carrie has excellent features. If you don’t want to go under the knife, then wear a human skin mask. Just wear it whenever you go out. I’ve prepared one that looks so real, even someone with the Eye of Ra wouldn’t be able to tell.“Also, I’ll give you a new identity. Until our alliance is complete, you cannot revert to your original identity as Ms. Carrie of the Newman family. I can assure you that once my affairs are settled, I will grant you all the properties you desire from the Newman family.“Your blind sister, I want to crush her like an ant. She’s not a threat, but I need you to cooperate with me. Once my goals are achieved, I can help you seize everything you want.”Mr. Longbottom’s words were extremely arrogant as if he possessed tremendous abilities. He spoke boldly about crushing Callum as if sq

Elisa giggled. “I’m not really jealous. I was just joking with you, Mom. You started it first by joking with me.“I also know that you’re good to Remy for my sake, hoping that my future in-laws will see how well we treat him and, in turn, treat me well too.“But Mom, even if I have to move to Annenburg with Remy in the future, you don’t need to worry about me being bullied. He can protect me, and I can protect myself too. Have you forgotten who I am?“I’m the little hothead. I’m the one who bullies others, not the other way around.”Audrey removed her daughter’s hand and lightly pinched her cheek. “I’m not worried at all about you being bullied by your in-laws. My future in-laws are wonderful people. Their family values are upright, and their household is harmonious. You hit the jackpot by finding a man like Remy.”Elisa said proudly, “That’s because I have a discerning eye. Any man I choose, and his family, must be excellent.”“Yes, yes, you have the best eye.” Audrey laughed an

When Alice saw her sister-in-law return, she quickly asked, “Elisa, have you eaten yet? If not, I can make something for you.”Audrey stopped her daughter-in-law and said, “Don’t worry about her. She’s got Remy in the kitchen cooking something delicious for her. With Remy around, she’s not going to starve.”Hearing this, Alice smiled and sat back down. Elisa protested, “Mom, how can you say that? Remy’s cooking for me of his own volition. You always say I’m exploiting him. You’re getting more and more biased.“You feel sorry for Remy but not me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have found such a good son-in-law like Remy. So, you should still love me the most, just like before.”Audrey chuckled. “If it weren’t for you saying you wanted to eat his cooking, would he be in the kitchen right now? I called you two over for dinner, but you didn’t want to come.“Remy has been working all day. He must be tired, but when he comes home, he still has to serve you like a princess.”“Mom

“I’m not picky with food. Whatever you like, I’ll enjoy it too, so I’ll base the dishes on your preferences.”No matter what, he always put her first.Elisa said contentedly, “I’ll go back home and check on things. I heard my nephew crying earlier. Once the food is ready, just call me over from the fence.”Remy replied dotingly, “Alright, go ahead and check on him. You can bring the baby over to play for a while too.”After being taken out for a stroll, the little one had grown quite fond of going outside. If he cried after being fed, hydrated, and well-rested, it was clear that he just wanted to go out and see the world.As Elisa walked out, she said, “We’ll be eating soon. If we bring him over and he starts crying to go out, it’ll ruin our meal. It’s better to leave him at home for Grandpa True to look after.“Nowadays, he’s the apple of Grandpa True’s eye. Grandpa True even said that to see more of the younger generations, he’ll strive to live a few more years.”Patrick’s wil

However, Remy felt that his niece, Chloe, seemed even more outstanding than her brother. Perhaps in the future, it would be Chloe who would take charge of the family.“I miss Clo-clo so much. I don’t know why, but lately, whenever I see little babies, I feel especially fond of them. Maybe it’s because as I get older, I’m becoming more maternal.”“You’re not old at all. I’m older than you, so don’t talk about being old in front of me.”Remy did not like hearing her say she was getting old. If she was old, then he was even older. Remy felt that he was still in his prime, especially since he had not even married Elisa yet.“I’m older than Seren, and her baby is due in two months.“Oh, by the way, earlier, besides complaining that I was making you cook and worrying that I was tiring you out, my mom also suggested that we start preparing for pregnancy. She said that by the time we hold the wedding in the fall, it could be a double celebration.”Remy turned to look at her, his eyes bur

“Just like how Grandma May taught Zachary and the others, being able to cook isn’t just about earning points when looking for a wife—it’s also about rewarding your own stomach.” His own grandmother had not said anything like that. All she said was that flowers did not stay in bloom forever. Although the Johnsons were currently at their peak and were wealthy beyond measure, the world was unpredictable. Who knew in which generation the family might decline?Having more skills never hurt. Learning an extra skill meant that if the family ever fell on hard times, they would at least have the ability to support themselves.That was why their family elders encouraged them to develop a wide range of skills. They did not need to master everything, but they should at least have a basic understanding of many things. In truth, his cooking skills used to be quite average.It was only after he developed feelings for Elisa and learned that she had once had a crush on Zachary, who was skille

Audrey heard the cry of her precious grandson and immediately forgot about her daughter. She called out loudly, “You two enjoy your time together then. My grandson is crying, so I’m heading back inside.“You and Remy can start preparing for pregnancy too. When it’s time for the wedding, it’ll be a double celebration.”Hearing someone else’s daughter had given birth, Audrey was eager for her daughter to do so too. Though she was already a grandmother, she wanted to be a grandmother to her daughter’s child too. That was simply how elderly people with both sons and daughters were.Elisa was speechless. She heard the hurried footsteps of her mother heading back into the house, calling out before even entering, “Darling, don’t cry. Grandma’s back.”Elisa muttered, “Now that she has a grandson, even I, this precious daughter of hers, have been pushed aside. When I give her a grandson, I doubt there’ll be any room left for me.”She and Remy would definitely have children, but they were n

“Remy, Remy!” a voice called from outside. It sounded like Audrey. Remy came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron.“You keep at it, I’ll go out. My mom must have seen the lights and knew you were back, so she’s calling you over for dinner at our house.”At this time, her family was probably halfway through their meal.Elisa put down the remote control and walked out of the house with a packet of snacks in hand, munching as she went.“Mom.” Elisa walked to the fence and responded to her mother.“Elisa? You’re back too? You came back and didn’t even come home for dinner? We’re eating right now. Hurry up and bring Remy over. Grandpa True was just saying that Remy hasn’t come over for dinner in a few days.”Remy had been busy entertaining clients lately, so he had not had time to join his in-laws for meals.Elisa replied, “Mom, I feel like eating Remy’s cooking tonight, so we won’t be coming over. You guys go ahead.”“Oh, you. It’s so late already, and you’re still making Remy c

Elisa said, “Although cousins can be as close as siblings, it’s still better to have another child. After all, we won’t be living at your family home permanently, and our children might not have much time to bond with their cousins in the future.“I have two older brothers, and the three of us have always been close. My brothers have always doted on me, and I can always talk about things with them. My sister-in-law has been very kind to me even after they got married too.“I’m used to having siblings around. It’s lively, and no matter what happens, we can always talk things through. It’s nice not having to face everything alone. I don’t want my children to feel lonely in the future.”Elisa continued, “Most importantly, I love children. If you could be the one to carry and give birth, sparing me the exhaustion of pregnancy, I’d even consider having three kids. But unfortunately, you can’t.“If I have to carry the baby myself, even though I love children, I’d only have two—preferably

Jasmine smiled. “I can’t tell. He’s so tiny. I’m scared when I have to carry him. I’m afraid of hurting him. What if he slips from my arms?”As a first-time mother, Jasmine was inexperienced. She was not like Serenity, who had raised a baby before. Josh and Zachary had secretly taken classes on how to look after a baby. The way Josh held the baby was more accurate than hers. “You’ll get better at it after learning slowly. I didn’t dare to carry my nephew either because I was scared of hurting him, but I’m an expert now.”Elisa could not resist touching the baby’s face again. She really liked babies.“Has the baby been fed?”Camila replied, “He was fed an hour ago.”The baby had been ravenous. Everyone was relieved when they saw the baby could feed normally. The doctor said the baby might experience jaundice a few days later and that premature babies should be monitored closely. Jaundice usually appeared when the baby was a few days old. It would reach its peak after
