Trenton did not conceal the truth. He admitted that Camryn was the one who slapped him. He even questioned Edward whether the latter had the courage to deal with Camryn.
Edward choked. He then smiled wryly and said, “Camryn slapped you? Did she come to meet you? For what? Why did she slap you? Tsk. Camryn is really cruel. Half of your face is already swollen.
“Trenton, you finally saw your sister’s true colors. She might usually seem nice, but she’s actually cruel despite her blindness. Once she has her eyes treated and her vision is restored, I’m afraid she’ll be crueler and put you in trouble.
“Bear in mind that your parents are the cause of her father’s death. She’s probably mad at you because she hates your parents.
“Don’t think that she’s treating you well and not turning against you now. That’s because she’s trying to make you drop your guard. When the time comes, she’ll do away with you mercilessly and cause you to lose everything. Perhaps, she might even induce you to commit illegal acts, report to the police, and send you to jail.
“If you go to jail, all the Newmans’ possessions will belong to her.”
Even though Mr. Newman and his wife had not been sentenced, the Chandlers and Joyners were anxious as the trial was drawing near. They heard that the result of the trial would be unfavorable to them.
It was impossible to hope for Mr. Newman and his wife to be released to deal with Camryn.
As for Carrie, even if she had served her sentence and been released from prison, she would be no match for Camryn. What was more, Carrie was sentenced to several years of imprisonment.
By the time Carrie was released, Newman Enterprise would have belonged to Camryn.
At this point, the Chandlers and Joyners could not return to Newman Enterprise and involve themselves in the business.
They had thought of dealing with the Newmans using Newman Enterprise.
The Chandlers and Joyners were Trojan horses with evil intentions.
In the face of Trenton’s criticism, Edward became furious and said, “Trenton, you’ve misunderstood us. We’re giving you assistance and a word of caution. Although Camryn shares the same surname as you do, she’ll get married eventually. She has gotten engaged to Callum.
“Once she gets married, Newman Enterprise will belong to the Yorks. The company has developed so much owing to your parents’ blood, sweat, and tears for over ten years. Can you bear to see Camryn pass Newman Enterprise to the Yorks? We definitely can’t. We feel sorry for your dad.”
Trenton stood up and said, “Yes. I misunderstood you. I won’t be involved in this issue, nor do I have the time to handle it. I need to study. After I graduate, I’ll set up my own business if Camryn refuses to hand me the company. With my capability, I’ll set up a company called Newman Enterprise as well.
“Edward, if you’re dissatisfied with it, you can look for Camryn, not me. I’m busy and can’t be bothered about it. It’s fine even if you feel that I’m useless. I’m just not bothered about it.”
With that, Trenton stood up and walked away.
