Chapter 739 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

“He must be a person of status if your mother would willingly hand you over to him. He looks like he’s somewhere in his forties to fifties, so it should be easy to figure out who he is.”

Camryn stated after a brief silence, “My mother wants to get Carrie out and wants Serena to drop her charges. She’s a vicious woman and would do anything to achieve her goals. You have to warn Serena about this after you get back.

“Make sure you tell her to be careful. My mother is extremely volatile and it won’t surprise me if she resorts to drastic measures if she has to. She rather drags everyone down with her than sees her enemies prosper.”

Callum shot a look at her. He then set his eyes back on the road with his hands around his steering wheel while asking, “Are you sure you’re her daughter? Could you be adopted by any chance? I have never seen a mother being so cruel to her daughter.”

Camryn remained silent.

After a long silence, she murmured weakly, “I wish I wasn’t her daughter.”

Callum suggested sympathetically, “Why don’t you move out? If you don’t have a place to live, I have plenty of properties under my name and I don’t mind letting you rent one of them. I could charge you cheaper than the market rate since my sister–in–law is especially fond of you.”

He mentioned that he would charge her rent so she would not have cause to suspect him.

He was worried she would think he had an ulterior motive in helping her.

Fortunately, he could use Serena as their mutual connection to bridge a common understandin

Camryn fell silent again.

Callum understood that she was someone with a lot of history and was kind enough to not for her to unveil her story.

By the time they returned to the Newmans‘ villa, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Newman pacing outsi the house anxiously. It seemed like they were waiting for someone.

“Mr. York?”

Mr. Newman was visibly surprised to see Callum of all people showing up. His voice was fil with shock, “Mr. York, why are you the one sending Camryn back? Haven’t we assigned a bodyguard at the venue to take her home?

“What happened? Where’s our bodyguard?”

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.

Callum glanced at her and observed that she had returned to her usual stoic self. He grimaced and stayed silent.

She approached him and sat on the corner of the couch. She sat passively while she listened to her mother and stepfather yelling at the bodyguards.

Her stepfather prattled about wanting to call the police, but her mother stopped him from doing so, stating concerns about damaging Camryn’s reputation.

“Mr. Newman, Mrs. Newman, it’s getting late. I’ll be heading back first.”

The Newman couple were pretty good actors and Callum knew better than to call their bluff. He told himself that he would find out the identity of the degenerate who tried to take advantage of Camryn first. After he had ample proof, he would avenge poor Camryn.

He rose and announced solemnly, “Mr. Newman, Camryn is a good friend of my sister–in–law, she cares about Camryn very much.”

Mr. Newman spoke up frantically, “I understand. It is a great honor for me to say that my niece boasts a good relationship with Mrs. York. Truly, 1 thank you for Mrs. York looking out for her tonight and entrusting you with sending her home. I wouldn’t know what I’d do if something happened to Camryn. I would have failed my duties and failed her father as well.”

He said with a tight look of agitation screwed on his face.

“I will immediately assign a new female bodyguard to her starting tomorrow and take special care to keep her safe at all times.”

Mr. Newman gave his word as he walked Callum out of the house.

Mrs. Newman followed behind the men.

Camryn did not see Callum off, but she did rise on his feet facing his direction as he left. After the sound of their footsteps had faded away, she retreated to her room, shut the door, and locked it. This was the only way she felt safe.

After Callum was gone, Mr. Newman exchanged a look with his wife. Only then did the two head back into the house.

They did not try to pester Camryn again and went upstairs silently instead. After returning to their bedroom and ensuring the door was closed, Mrs. Newman addressed her husband rather sternly,” I don’t agree with this decision you’ve made. I understand this is all done to save Carrie, but I cannot bear to see Camryn marrying into the Yorks.”

She would have chosen death rather than see such an arrangement play out.

She only wanted her darling Carrie to marry into the Yorks.

“Do you think Camryn can marry into the Yorks even if we want her to?”

Mr. Newman said, “I don’t want her to marry into the Yorks either. Although I dote on her because she’s my brother’s only child, I love our son and daughter more. How could I possibly let her marry into the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon?

“Don’t think about getting Carrie to marry into the Yorks either; she doesn’t stand a chance. Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that we have a beef with Mr. and Mrs. York makes it impossible for the other bachelors of the Yorks to like her. Carrie is only twenty, so there’s no hurry for her to get married now.

“What we need to do is to get her out first.”

Mr. and Mrs. Newman walked to the couch and sat. The latter asked, “How do we save her? We’ve bowed our heads and apologized, but they were all to no avail. We initially found someone who could help mediate the situation, but it was ruined by Mr. Callum.

“Darling, will Mr. Callum recognize that man is from the Marshalls? The man is a Marshall, but he’s their fifth cousin. If he’s identified, the Marshalls themselves will take action to punish him.

“His family is five degrees separated from Old Mr. Marshall’s lineage; even though he’s rich, he barely has a say in their family. Mr. Callum probably wouldn’t recognize him. The Yorks are only close to the Marshalls‘ lineal descent, so they might not know anyone from the collateral kins.” Mr. Newman said, “Don’t lose your head first. In any case, when they start looking into the matter, we’ll put all the blame on the bodyguard. Make him leave Wiltspoon tomorrow.”

Mrs. Newman responded, “Okay, I got it. Tell me, how should we cling to Mr. Callum?”

“He saved Camryn, so let Camryn repay him with her body and cling to him. The Yorks definitely wouldn’t want a daughter–in–law like her. When the time comes, we can discuss and say that we only want to bail Carrie out. Once Carrie is out, we don’t have to pester Mr. Callum anymore,” Mr. Newman answered.

“That b*tch won’t agree to help. She’s dying for Carrie to be sentenced. Besides, what if the Yorks accept that little b*tch sleeping with Mr. Callum?”

Mr. Newman remarked, “She’s blind… How could Mr. Callum marry her? Coax her tomorrow and stop calling her a b*tch. You gave birth to her, after all. If you call her a b*tch, you’re saying the same about yourself.”

Mrs. Newman pouted her mouth and said, “Whenever I see her, it’s like seeing her father. I can’t help but despise her, and I even want to kill her so she can reunite with him. I shouldn’t have been soft back then and should’ve just killed her. She was only two years old at that time, and it would’ve been easy to do so.”

“I told you not to say things like that anymore. She’s still my brother’s only child, and she’s a blind girl, so it doesn’t affect us. Once Carrie is out, we’ll marry her off to someone else anyhow. Everything will be over then.”

Back then, Mr. Newman let Camryn stay because she was just a girl who would not get far and would not be a threat to him.

Furthermore, Camryn was a daughter of the woman Mr. Newman loved the most. She looked like his brother and his wife, so he loved her as well. Mr. Newman could not bring himself to be ruthless toward the innocent child who would adorably call him her uncle.

“Our room has soundproofing. This house is already under our control, so why do we have to be afraid of her eavesdropping on us? I can’t wait to kill her!
