Chapter 1145
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 it weren’t for her, the Hunt girl wouldn’t have feuded with Carrie.
“Carrie settled a score with the Hunt girl only because she was wronged, but her plan backfired. The Hunt girl had a hold over Carrie. I really want Camryn to die very badly. Why
isn’t she dead?”
“Honey.”
On the phone, Mr. Newman said helplessly, “Now isn’t the time to vent your anger. I understand that you’re upset and sympathize with Carrie, I sympathize with her too. Let’s see how Camryn’s begging goes. If the Hunt girl insists on pressing charges, we’ll make
another plan.”
Mrs Newman contained her hatred but uttered, “Ugh.”
“You may carry on with your work. I just wanted to let you know about it.”
With that, Mrs. Newman hung up the phone.
Serenity was unaware that Camryn had come. However, Serenity’s two bodyguards took two stools and were sitting at the entrance of the bookstore. They soon caught sight of Camryn
At the same time, those guarding the door received a message from their colleagues who were secretly protecting Serenity.
After confirming Camryn’s identity, a bodyguard got up and walked into the bookstore.
Serenity, who was working in front of the computer, heard some footsteps. She turned her gaze from the screen to the bodyguard and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
“Missus, Ms. Newman is here.”
Serenity was momentarily dazed before she asked, “Ms. Newman is here? Where’s she?”
“She’s on her way here.”
At the thought that Camryn was visually impaired, Serenity leaped to her feet. She walked past the counter and headed outside.
“Seren, who came?”
When Jasmine saw her good friend going out, she closed the book she was reading halfway through and stuffed it back onto the rack. Then, she followed Serenity out.
