The fake Carrie remarked, “This money is easy to make. Next time you cause trouble for your eldest sister, I’ll irritate her again and get her to slap me twice. I can make some extra money that way.”
Carrie laughed, “It’s only a few thousand dollars. It’s worth it for you to do this.”
“Miss Newman, you were born into a wealthy family and have always had everything you wanted. You’ve never had to worry about food or clothing, and you’ve always had endless money. You can’t understand the struggles of ordinary people like me. Your family has assets over 10 billion. What does 10 billion mean to the poor? My family can’t even come up with 500,000.
My brother wants to get married, and my sister-in-law demands a house, a car, the three golds, and a dowry. My brother has been working for nearly ten years, and his savings aren’t enough to cover the down payment. We’ve had to use up all my parents’ savings, and even my savings are gone.
I paid the down payment for the wedding house, bought a car, and borrowed money for the dowry.”
The stand-in paused and continued, “Ordinary people can remain poor for several years after getting married. My sister-in-law has been married for several years and has two children. She and my brother are still working hard to pay off debts, the mortgage, car loan, and other loans. Isn’t it ironic?
It would’ve been better if they had made fewer demands initially, got married, and worked hard together. Then they wouldn’t be struggling to pay off debts now. My family does have a house; it’s just a bit old and small. It’s not impossible to live in if we squeeze in. You won’t have this kind of difficulty.”
Carrie, feeling superior after the comparison, said, “That’s right, I’ve never worried about money.”
Even at her poorest, someone gave her money to spend. It was just a small price to pay.
“Okay, apply some ice to your face. I’ll go upstairs to change clothes, go shopping, and get some beauty and hair treatments.”
She wanted to spend money!
The money Mr. Labbe gave her monthly for keeping her, along with occasional gifts, was more than many people could earn in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Carrie felt superior again.
Even if she was just Mr. Labbe’s mistress, it wasn’t something just anyone could become.
The stand-in was really envious.
Watching Carrie’s back as she went upstairs, she murmured enviously, “When will I live a life where I have money to spend as I please?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Been hanging for a few weeks now are we gonna finish the chapters as something happened to the author...
Do a search in Yahoo for Aekosa Married at First Sight they have the updated chapters. There is a lot of ads also it is an actual pdf so a little different type of reading....
There was a site that updated this story almost every day. This site no longer offers the book for free. It also seems that it translated it in different languages. It appears all the free sites for this novel have stopped being updated since this one particular site now requires a paid subscription. I suspect all the free sites got their updates from there. Good Novel owns the rights to publish the translation but they are still behind. Also their site you have to pay. It used to be that you could find multiple sites with this story but that no longer seems to be the case. The site that has a subscription has been updating it with more chapters. It is now at 3632. We may not see additional updates until Good Novel catches up to the chapter numbers....
Guys, let’s continue the story by ourselves… let’s imagine what would happen in jensburg.. once they all reach there??...
I really hope that the author writing this novel is alive and well.... There hasn't been an update in days. I hope nothing terrible has happened...
This site obviously doesn't read the comme ts. If they did, I would hope they would have the decency to at least provide an explanation to its readers....
I am reading at naijdate.com website. the admin updates daily. The latest chapter there is 3622.. but it needs subscription....
Please update....
I have done some research regarding no update on the chapters. I found that the novels chapters are updated to chapter 4744 on another website. The only issue is the names are still in Chinese making it a bit tricky to fallow. If you want to try to fallow go to jr novels dot com. Me personally plan to stay on this website and hope they get caught up with all the chapters....
Hello, something wrong with the person uploading the novel. Please upload for us readers as it’s been a while. Thank you...
