the oldest lady herself. The person who dared to shock Camryn, unafraid of death, would face fierce retaliation from his men, who would make him feel the same shock he inflicted on others.

Camryn reached out to grab Callum’s hand, and he quickly extended it for her to hold. Once she grasped his hand, she pulled him closer and inhaled his familiar scent. This recognition eased her tension, and she subsequently released his hand.

“Camryn?” Callum asked, confused.

“Let’s head back to the car first. Are you almost home? We can talk when we get there,” Camryn replied.

“It’s nearly home. Alright, we can talk then. Does your neck hurt?” Callum inquired.

“It does hurt,” Camryn admitted.

“I’ll get some medicated oil for you when we return,” Callum offered.

Camryn remained silent as she climbed into the car unsteadily. Shortly after, the car started moving again. Before long, they arrived at the Newman family mansion.

Callum intended to escort his fiancée inside, but Camryn declined. In her own home, she didn’t need someone to guide her; she was familiar with the place she had lived for over 20 years.

“Miss, Second Young Master York,” the butler greeted them respectfully as he emerged from a room.

Camryn ignored the butler’s greeting and walked past him with composure. The butler was accustomed to her demeanor.

They had always been somewhat indifferent towards the eldest lady and were not entirely loyal to her. The eldest lady didn’t replace them because she understood their loyalty lay with the young master. Had their allegiance been questionable, the eldest lady would have dismissed them long ago. Furthermore, members of the York family were now present in the household, a situation orchestrated by the eldest lady herself.

the Second Young Master York. The eldest lady believed that the individuals arranged by the Second Young Master York were of greater significance, while the butler’s presence was even less noticeable.

After Camryn entered the room for the first time, she went straight upstairs. Callum quietly followed her, and her room was later soundproofed for privacy. Whenever Camryn had something important to discuss, she would always take him into her new room.

Previously, Camryn, the eldest daughter of the Newman family, was not permitted to live on the second floor and was forced to share a room with the nanny. However, after Mr. and Mrs. Newman and their cherished daughter moved in, Camryn quietly seized control of the Newman family. Naturally, she would not allow herself to be treated poorly again.

On the second floor, she selected two well-lit rooms, combined them into one, and renovated it. Now, her room featured a small study where she and Callum could discuss important matters.

“Would you like some water?” Callum asked after entering the small study.

Camryn walked over to the desk and sat down, leaning back in her chair to ease the strain on her neck.

“I’m not thirsty,” she replied.

Despite her response, Callum poured her a glass of warm water.

“What on earth is happening? Who are they? Do you know them? In the future, let the bodyguards accompany you at all times; it will be safer,” he insisted.

Callum believed they were engaged; as a couple, it was certain that Camryn was the second mistress of the York family, and no one would dare harm her. He never imagined that there were still people reckless enough to act without fear of consequence.

“I walked out of your company and headed to the bus stop outside when they parked their car in front of…”

I heard steady footsteps and your voice. I told you not to worry and that I would return to the store alone, but you insisted on accompanying me.

“I?” Callum’s face twisted in anger. “They impersonated me and deceived you into getting into the car.”
