After thinking for a while, Mrs. Stone replied, “I have lived in Wiltspoon for decades. Since I married your uncle, I have entered the upper-class circle. I have met countless wives and daughters, but I have never heard Mrs. Labbe.”
Serenity said: “She said that her husband’s family is not from Wiltspoon, but they have settled in Wiltspoon, and most of their business is in other places. She also said that her husband’s family is very low-key and may rarely attend banquets. “
Mrs. Stone said: “No matter how low-key they are, people who want to do business will always have social contacts. She’s not from Wiltspoon, but she has settled in Wiltspoon, and she always interacts with people. I have never heard of the Labbe family. Maybe they haven’t reached the level of a wealthy family yet, so they are not in the same circle as us. Seren, what are you asking about this person? Is there anything wrong with her?”
Serenity told Mrs. Stone how she got to know Mrs. Labbe and added, “Every time I see her, I feel a sense of familiarity. She looks like Carrie, the second lady of the Newman family. Camryn also said that Mrs. Labbe looks very similar to Carrie.”
“Camryn and Carrie have been sisters for more than 20 years. She is most familiar with Carrie. She said that Mrs. Labbe not only looks like her but also sounds like her. But Mrs. Labbe is not Carrie because Carrie often goes to Camryn and asks for money because she has no money. Two days ago, Carrie went to my mother-in-law’s house and asked Aunt Rosella for money.”
Mrs. Stone said, “The body shape is similar, the voice is similar, and the face is not the same, right? Since Carrie still appears, it means that she has not had plastic surgery. Even if she has plastic surgery, it will take a while before she can see people. How about Mrs. Labbe’s conversation and behavior?”
Serenity said, “She looks gentle and generous and talks with a smile, but I always feel that she is a bit unnatural. I can’t find any faults, even if I look carefully.”
Mrs. Stone said, “Don’t bother to guess her. I’ll ask my relatives and friends to help you find out about Mrs. Labbe.”
Serenity smiled and said, “I don’t want to spend time guessing who she is, but I always feel that something is wrong, and she will always overlap with Carrie. Even if she is not Carrie, if I know her background, it’s better to make sure that she and Carrie are two different people. Carrie hates Camryn and is full of hatred for me. If she plays two roles and approaches Camryn and me to do something, wouldn’t we be caught off guard?”
