Chapter 1081
While Carrie was young and insolent, it was not like she did not know better.
Her mind flew back to her plan being foiled by Serenity at the Dowlings’ party.
She was manhandled by Serenity and forced to drink the drugged alcohol by Elisa.
The drug overtook her sanity and drove her to take her clothes off at the Dowlings’ residence.
Carrie’s mother jumped into action and brought her home in haste.
Carried had to bathe in ice-cold water to regain her consciousness.
However, the same cold bath spiked her fever.
Her parents were heartbroken for her.
Nevertheless, they did nothing to demand justice for her.
This was because the country bumpkin had Mr. York by her side.
Her father explained to Carrie that although the Newmans did not operate their business in Wiltspoon, they were not to cross Mr. York.
York Corporation had business dealings across major cities, and the bad blood may provoke York Corporation to steal the Newmans’ business.
Newman Enterprise would suffer as a consequence of her actions.
Carrie’s father also criticized her for going too far—she should not have drugged Camryn.
There was more than one way to pop Camryn’s cherry and make her the laughingstock of the community, so to do it at the banquet was uncalled for.
If that was not enough, Carrie had ruined their own image.
It would be hard for Carrie to find a husband now that the wives of other wealthy families believed she was wicked.
That was the first time Carrie realized how powerful Zachary was.
Even her parents, who gave her all the love and everything in the world, could do nothing to stand up for her.
+ Serenity gave Carrie a dirty look, acting and speaking cockier than ever.
Carrie winced in fear for a change.
“Just you wait, you country bumpkin!” With her finger up Serenity’s nose, Carrie snapped a threat before turning on her heel to leave.
On her way out, she kicked over several pots of flowers on purpose.
