Chapter 1350
Mr. Newman spoke in a concerned tone. When he noticed the state Camryn was in and how she had lost her shoes, he turned to his wife and asked nicely, “Honey, could you take Camryn into the house?”
Then, he turned to Callum and made an inviting gesture, “Mr. York, please, come inside.”
Callum was planning to leave right after dropping Camryn off, but he promptly changed his mind. He decided to have a quick chat with Mr. Newman as a show of respect.
Several minutes later after Callum relayed what happened, Mr. Newman erupted with rage and cursed out loud, “Damned fool! All I did was give him a strong talking–to. I cannot believe he would turn around and do something like this and try to hurt my niece!”
He thanked Callum profusely, “Mr. York, you have my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for you showing up at the right time, who knows what that nasty excuse of a bodyguard would have done to Camryn?”
The poor bodyguard took the fall.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged from Camryn’s room.
She felt an enormous swell of anguish deep in her heart.
Apart from having her dress ruined and losing a pair of high heels, Camryn was largely in one piece. There were minimal wounds on her body and hardly any noticeable bruises at all. Callum had saved her from being disgraced.
If she had known this would happen, she would have drugged Camryn at the banquet so she would not have had the strength to resist.
The only reason she had not drugged Camryn was that the man said that he did not like his women unconscious. She did not expect the man to be such an imbecile and could not even subdue a blind girl.
Also, how did Callum manage to show up just in time to save the blind fool?
They were back to square one–what would happen to Carrie now?
Mrs. Newman was fuming but knew better than to let it show. She joined her husband and Callum and began expressing her gratitude toward Callum as well.
Camryn joined them after she changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on a pair of slippers.
