Chapter 1291
“Are you here to bring Ms. Newman home for dinner? Is there something you need to discuss with her? If so, I don’t want to
intrude on your mother–and–daughter time,” Callum tenderly asked Mrs. Newman, acting like he had no idea of Camryn’s status
in the family.
Mrs. Newman was not here to give Camryn a hard time for once.
She came to notify Camryn of Old Mr. Marshall’s business engagement at Wiltspoon Hotel tomorrow night. Camryn was to go
with Mrs. Newman. Of course, Camryn was not there to replace Carrie.
Mrs. Newman merely wanted to introduce Camryn to an old CEO who may be helpful to the Newmans‘ family business.
Although Camryn was blind, she was prettier than Carrie. Camryn’s soft and calm voice was soothing to the ear. Mrs. Newman
was sure the old CEO would be captivated by Camryn’s beauty.
“You’re not a bother at all. I just want to say a few words to Camryn before I have to leave.”
Mrs. Newman kept a friendly attitude in Callum’s presence.
She said to Camryn, “Don’t open your shop for business tomorrow afternoon, or you can get your worker to look after the shop.
Come home early tomorrow. I’ll paint your face, and you can put on an evening gown. Come and attend an event with me
tomorrow.”
Before Camryn could say anything, Callum jumped in and asked with a smile, “Are you talking about Old Mr. Marshall’s event?”
“Yes. You must be attending Old Mr. Marshall’s event too. We’d kill for an invite.” Since the Newmans became billionaires, Mrs.
Newman had been keen to participate in social engagements.
She believed she blended into the circle of the true upper crust.
Mrs. Newman wanted to bring her younger daughter along so everybody would know how
remarkable Carrie was.
Although the plan was to get Carrie to marry into the York family, Mrs. Newman did not want to put all her eggs in one basket.
The heirs of the York family were not easy to control. Her Carrie might not find a potential husband with the family. There were
many wealthy men in Wiltspoon. Mrs. Newman could bring her daughter along to these parties to look for a good family. Of
course, these families would also be checking out her darling daughter too.
There were two sides to everything. The Newman family was sizing people up for a potential husband, but the other party was
doing the same too.
Callum smiled and said, “The party will be held at my family’s hotel. My brothers and cousins will be attending too.”
Mrs. Newman responded, “Tomorrow night must be the biggest event in Wiltspoon.”
It was a shame that her darling daughter could not attend.
Old Mr. Marshall seldom organized a ball this early. However, he moved the date up by six months.
this year. There was no telling whether it was because Old Mr. Marshall was getting old or was poor in health.
Mrs. Newman was furious with Serenity again at the thought that her precious daughter was
going to miss out on tomorrow’s event. Of course, Mrs. Newman also put the fault on her older daughter.
“Did you get what I just told you, Camryn?” Mrs. Newman asked.
While holding the flowers for the employee to wrap them up in a bundle for Callum, Camryn replied, “I’m not going.”
She would only be embarrassing herself in such a social setting since she could not see.
Besides, her mother never took her to social gatherings. Now that Mrs. Newman wanted to bring Camryn out of the L’e, the
former must be up to no good.
Although Camryn never got an update from her mother about Carrie, she knew that her stepfather and mother were trying to get
Carrie out of jail.
Camryn dared not think or guess the things they would do to save Carrie.
Nevertheless, Camryn got the feeling that her mother wanted to take her to the event to sell her
off.
Mrs. Newman made a face.
She was giving the mole rat a chance by bringing her to a social event. Yet, this mole rat was ungrateful.
As Callum was still around, Mrs. Newman had to stop herself from blowing up in Camryn’s face. She toned down the harshness
in her tone. “Camryn, you heard my conversation with Callum. The party tomorrow night is important. It’s the biggest business
engagement in Wiltspoon. The people attending are movers and shakers of Wiltspoon.
“You coop yourself up in the flower shop every day. You should get out there and make friends. How can you just live in your
own world? I’m taking you to see the world.”
