Chapter 1291
“Are you here to bring Ms. Newman home for dinner? Is there something you need to discuss with her? If so, I don’t want to intrude on your mother–and–daughter time,” Callum tenderly asked Mrs. Newman, acting like he had no idea of Camryn’s status in the family.
Mrs. Newman was not here to give Camryn a hard time for once.
She came to notify Camryn of Old Mr. Marshall’s business engagement at Wiltspoon Hotel tomorrow night. Camryn was to go with Mrs. Newman. Of course, Camryn was not there to replace Carrie.
Mrs. Newman merely wanted to introduce Camryn to an old CEO who may be helpful to the Newmans‘ family business.
Although Camryn was blind, she was prettier than Carrie. Camryn’s soft and calm voice was soothing to the ear. Mrs. Newman was sure the old CEO would be captivated by Camryn’s beauty.
“You’re not a bother at all. I just want to say a few words to Camryn before I have to leave.”
Mrs. Newman kept a friendly attitude in Callum’s presence.
She said to Camryn, “Don’t open your shop for business tomorrow afternoon, or you can get your worker to look after the shop. Come home early tomorrow. I’ll paint your face, and you can put on an evening gown. Come and attend an event with me tomorrow.”
Before Camryn could say anything, Callum jumped in and asked with a smile, “Are you talking about Old Mr. Marshall’s event?”
“Yes. You must be attending Old Mr. Marshall’s event too. We’d kill for an invite.” Since the Newmans became billionaires, Mrs. Newman had been keen to participate in social engagements.
She believed she blended into the circle of the true upper crust.
Mrs. Newman wanted to bring her younger daughter along so everybody would know how remarkable Carrie was.
Although the plan was to get Carrie to marry into the York family, Mrs. Newman did not want to put all her eggs in one basket. The heirs of the York family were not easy to control. Her Carrie might not find a potential husband with the family. There were many wealthy men in Wiltspoon. Mrs. Newman could bring her daughter along to these parties to look for a good family. Of course, these families would also be checking out her darling daughter too.
There were two sides to everything. The Newman family was sizing people up for a potential husband, but the other party was doing the same too.
