‘You-”
Elisa took the glass from Serena’s hand and handed it back to Carrie. ‘ This is your wine, Ms. Carrie. You should drink it yourself.”
“Ms. Stone, this is between me and her. I suggest you and Ms. Hunt stay out of it.”
Carrie was spoiled by her family and was quite stubborn. She was not afraid of
Elisa at all. She even leaned into Elisa’s ear and whispered, “Ms. Stone, other people might be scared of you, but I’m not.”
Then, she straightened up and handed the wine glass to Camryn again. Her eyes looked askance provocatively at Elisa and Serena, but her words were directed toward Camryn. ‘You can’t leave unless you drink this wine. Even if someone helps you to leave now, I can still make you drink it later, so drink it now!”
Camryn bit her lower lip.
She believed what Elisa said. Her sister must have drugged the wine.
Forcing her to drink it was a deliberate attempt to make her look bad in front of everyone.
She already tried to reduce her presence in the Newman family, but Carrie still targeted her.
They shared the same mother, but not only did Carrie not treat her like a sister, she had always tried to cause trouble for her.
“I said, drink it!”
Carrie was extremely arrogant.
Carrie was provoking Elisa and Serena.
They could help Camryn now, but could they help her forever?
Carrie could wreck Camryn’s flower shop any time she wanted, and Camryn would not dare to do anything about it.
Camryn was not stupid. She would not drink the glass of wine after Elisa said that it was drugged. “I’ll give these flowers to you as a gift. You don’t have to pay.”
Then, she faced Elisa and Serena and thanked them. There was a hint of gratitude in her normally indifferent tone.
“Camryn Newman, I asked you to drink the wine!”
Carrie felt that her plan was about to fail.
When Camryn turned to leave, she reached out and grabbed Camryn, pulling her sister toward her. She grabbed Camryn’s chin with one hand, pinched it forcefully, and was just about to pour the glass of wine into her throat.
Serena and Elisa moved at the same time.
Serena easily reversed the situation with her kickboxing skills. She not only rescued Camryn from Carrie’s grip but also grasped Carrie’s chin. Meanwhile,
Elisa grabbed the wine glass and poured it into Carrie’s mouth.
Carrie struggled desperately but still ended up swallowing a few gulps of the wine.
Serena only let her go after she swallowed.
Elisa tossed the glass to the side, where it shattered on the ground. The loud noise alerted even Mrs. Newman, who was still calmly chatting with others.
She immediately came over when she found out that her younger daughter was at a disadvantage.
“M-Mom, let’s go back. I want to go back now.”
Carrie knew very well what kind of drug she added to the wine and what the consequences were after drinking it. She did not want to undress in front of so many people and make a fool of herself.
She prepared the drug for Camryn, but because of Elisa and Serena’s interference, she ended up drinking it instead.
She was anxious to leave before the drug kicked in.
“What’s wrong, Carrie?” Mrs. Newman asked anxiously.
When she saw Camryn standing by the side, she glared at her and questioned in a stern voice, “What did you do to your sister, Camryn?”
“I didn’t do anything to her.”
Camryn’s expression turned cold at her mother’s questioning. It seemed that the relationship between them was not the best either.
“Mom, it’s so hot. I want to take off my clothes…”
Carrie was still sober, but she felt hot as the drug started to kick in. She started tugging the evening gown she was wearing.
Mrs. Newman instantly understood what was happening.
She hurriedly embraced Carrie and swung her hand at Camryn.
Serena pulled Camryn away, so Mrs. Newman did not manage to hit her.
“Mrs. York, this is a family matter. Please don’t meddle.”
Serena said innocently, “I already did.”
What could she do?
She could only continue to meddle.
“Mrs. Newman, isn’t she your daughter too? You’re not even going to ask what happened? I saw everything that happened. Your younger daughter drugged a glass of wine and tried to force her elder sister to drink it.
“She reaps what she sows!”
Mrs. Newman snapped, “Even so, that’s between the sisters. I advise you to stay out of it! Who do you think you are? You’re just a country bumpkin. Do you think you’re really some missus just because that’s what other people call you?”
Serena had a vague smile. “So what if I’m a country bumpkin? That has nothing to do with you too. I don’t need other people to call me missus either, but as long as my husband is Mr. York, I’m Mrs. York!
“I might not want to meddle in other people’s affairs, but I think I’ll meddle in
Camryn’s. Mrs. Newman, I don’t care who you are either. I dare you to touch a single hair on Camryn’s head after going back tonight!”
Serena’s eyes were cold as she glared at Mrs. Newman.
‘You-!”
Mrs. Newman was so angry that her face turned scarlet.
Just then, Audrey and Mrs. Dowling heard the commotion and hurriedly came out of the house.
Mrs. Newman did not dare confront Audrey head-on, and her darling daughter was suffering the consequences of her own actions, so she simply apologized to Mrs. Dowling and quickly left the venue while trudging both their weights along.
When everything calmed down again, Camryn thanked Serena and Elisa.
She did not understand why they helped her.
From her mother’s shouting, she learned that one of the people who helped her was Mrs. York, the most talked about person in Wiltspoon recently.
She did not expect Mrs. York to be the chivalrous type and saved her.
In fact, even without Serena’s help, she had her ways to get out of the trap.
She eked out a living under the thumb of her stepfather and her mother, who was as cruel as a stepmother, and slowly collected evidence…
Camryn would not have lived until now if she did not have tricks up her sleeve.
Serena said in concern, “If they try to cause trouble for you after going back…”
