However, he continued to have nightmares and woke up several times on the way back to
Wildridge Manor. He awakened in tears each time, breaking Serena’s and Zack’s hearts every time.
Zack told the driver to speed up, wanting to return to the manor immediately.
They would let the psychic look at Sonny.
In the meantime, after leaving the hospital, Callum did not send Camryn back to Spring Blossoms but went to Willspoon Hotel instead. He said, “I accompanied you to the hospital, so lunch is your treat.”
Camryn, who was thinking about something else, was instantly speechless.
He always made her buy him meals!
She looked at Callum and asked calmly, “Where do you want to eat?”
“I think…”
His cell phone rang before he could finish, interrupting what he was about to say.
There was no caller ID saved to the number, but he recognized it. It was from Mr. Newman.
“Your uncle is calling,” Callum said to Camryn.
Camryn frowned and then said calmly, “I think he’s anxious and wants you to help.”
Mr. Newman was indeed feeling uneasy. He was also fearful.
His wife and he were tied to the same boat. Although most of it was obviously his wife’s doing, he could not escape being scrutinized and investigated. He would not be able to get away if the police investigated deeper.
His wife and he worked so hard to get to where they were today, but they had a feeling that everything would go down the drain. How could he not be anxious?
In his heart, he resented his wife for not listening to him.
He advised his wife countless times not to fight with Zack and Serena. Even if they had billions worth in assets, they were no match against the York family.
If Carrie was sentenced to jail, then so be it. As long as they were still alive and free, they could arrange a good path for their daughter when she was released from prison.
Carrie hired thugs to harm Serena but failed. It was a vicious scheme, but Serena knew self- defense and there were bodyguards from the York family secretly protecting her, so the consequences were not horrible. Otherwise, Carrie would be heavily sentenced.
Now, she was convicted to only serve a few years in prison.
Carrie was young and would still be in her twenties after serving jail time. Although it was not honorable to have gone to jail, their daughter broke the law and they had no way of getting. Serena to drop charges, so they could only accept the legal sanctions.
Mr. Newman always tried very hard to convince his wife to let go of her grudge.
However, Mrs. Newman’s most beloved child was Carrie. Although she also loved her son, she felt that her son was unlike her because he helped Camryn. Her love for her son could not be compared to her love for Carrie.
She could not accept that her daughter would be imprisoned for several years.
She hated Serena!
She wanted to get revenge on Serena. She wanted Serena to suffer a fate worse than death and repent!
However, she did not expect to have failed to grab Sonny even after mobilizing so many men. In a turn of events, she and her forces were captured. Mrs. Newman only comprehended the situation the moment she was taken away by the police.
The police already cast out a large net for her and were just waiting for her to throw herself into.
the net.
It was also at that moment that Mrs. Newman regretted not listening to her husband’s advice.
She thought she did not have to fear Zack with her forces…
However, as strong as a person was, there would always be someone stronger. Zack happened to be more powerful than she was.
Mr. Newman knew that his wife would be sentenced severely after getting captured. His wife was involved in the underworld. Not only did she commit a heinous crime, but she also harmed someone.
Mr. Newman could not see his wife now.
Only her lawyer had the right to see her whereas he could not visit her until she was sentenced.
He felt like the Newman family collapsed overnight.
Mr. Newman was completely overwhelmed.
“I’m driving now, so it’s not convenient for me to answer the phone. You can answer it for me.”
Callum spoke to Camryn. He swiped the answer icon before Camryn could respond and shoved the phone to her.
“Hurry up and take the phone unless you want us to die together in an accident.”
Camryn had no choice but to take the phone from him.
Mr. Newman called out pleasingly from the phone, “Mr. Callum, are you free? I’d like to treat you to lunch.”
Camryn brought the phone to her ear. When she heard her stepfather’s question, she said softly,” Mr. Callum is driving now, Uncle. He can’t answer the phone.”
“Camryn? You’re with Mr. Callum? Okay, tell him that I’d like to invite him to lunch and ask if he’s available. You can come with him too.” Mr. Newman’s tone was gentle when he heard his niece’s voice and realized that she was with Callum.
“Mr. Callum, my uncle said he wants to invite you to lunch. He asked if you’re available.”
“Sure, I am. We’re going to lunch right now, aren’t we? Tell Mr. Newman that we’ll wait for him at Wiltspoon Hotel. Tell him to come quickly.”
He could not make Camryn take out her wallet today.
Either way, he could try again another day. He had a lifetime left to leech off her.
It was not easy for Camryn to earn money. Every time she treated him to a meal, she always. looked regretful at spending money. However, it was that regret that amused Callum. He liked making her pay for their meals and watching her pretend to be generous despite being in pain.
If Camryn could hear his thoughts, she would say, “I don’t want to spend my lifetime with you…”
“Uncle, did you hear what Mr. Callum said?”
Mr. Newman answered, “Okay, I’ll go to Wiltspoon Hotel now.”
Then, he quickly hung up the phone.
Camryn returned the phone to Callum.
Callum teased her while driving, “Your uncle came to me for my help. He most likely wants to ask. me to be responsible for you and marry you off to me. Would you be willing?”
Camryn was silent.
“Old Mr. Marshall already sent that b*stard who tried to molest you to jail. Your mom found him. after considering the Marshall family’s reputation in Wiltspoon. Even Zack has to show respect to the Marshalls.
“The main family of the Marshalls is very decent but has no friendship with your mother, so she had no choice but to find a very distant relative to give you away as a plaything.”
This was the result of Callum’s investigation.
Back then, he beat the man up black and blue without knowing who the man was. It was only after investigating that he found out that the man was from the Marshall family.
Old Mr. Marshall even thanked him for helping to uncover the scum in the family.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
Camryn could do nothing else but expressed her gratitude.
“Keep track of how many meals you owe me and cook for me every day when your eyes are cured.”
Camryn was speechless. “Are you… hiring me as a chef?”
“Don’t you need to marry me? I don’t need a chef. I need a wife. Isn’t it normal for wives to cook for their husbands?
