Carrie silently cursed: if she reclaimed everything from the Newman family and had plenty of money, would she still need Mrs. Janzen’s monthly payment of one million dollars? However, Carrie harbored a deep resentment toward Serenity and wanted to see her face misfortune. If someone was willing to confront Serenity, Carrie only needed to gather some information without having to face Serenity directly. She deemed this plan feasible.

She said, “Mrs. Janzen, I will prove myself to you, but I just got out, and my old mobile phone and bank card are probably with Blind Camryn. As far as I remember, she and I have never interacted, and she doesn’t plan to return my belongings. I need some money for certain activities.”

Mrs. Janzen pulled out a bank card, placing it in front of Carrie. “Of course. There’s a balance on the card. Thirty thousand dollars has been allocated as your activity fund for the time since your release. Miss Newman, if you have the capability, after you eat, you can return to the Newman family, reclaim everything that belongs to you, and then come back. I also want my bank card back.”

Carrie picked up the card and inquired, “What’s the password?”

Mrs. Janzen replied, “It’s XXXX.”

Carrie tucked the bank card into her trouser pocket. Mrs. Janzen was quite stingy, only willing to provide her with thirty thousand dollars for her activities. Although this amount was modest, it was better than nothing, especially since she had just been released and was broke. This money could alleviate her immediate predicament.

How much would she need when she returned to the Newman family to reclaim her possessions? Carrie wasn’t sure of her family’s exact assets, but she was aware that the Newman family possessed over $100 million, though she suspected the true figure could be in the billions. In any case, she was not in want of money.

Since childhood, she had the freedom to buy whatever she desired. In contrast, Camryn’s life was far worse than that of a servant; without her hard work at home, she wouldn’t even have food to eat. “Here is my contact information,” Mrs. Janzen said as she handed Carrie another business card. The card contained only Mrs. Janzen’s phone number. This number was new, something Mrs. Janzen had acquired recently, and she had only shared it with Carrie. She instructed Carrie, “Don’t let anyone else know my mobile number. Apart from you, no one else knows how I reach you.” Carrie replied, “I understand; I won’t be as naive and foolish as I was before.” Her parents had indulged her, leading to her arrogance and domineering behavior. Before meeting Serenity and Elisa, Carrie believed she could walk through Wiltspoon without fear of disrespect, as no one would dare offend her. Before encountering Serenity and the others, Camryn went unnoticed; no one dared to help her stand out. Although Carrie never directly took advantage of Camryn, she often found herself at a loss, as no one intervened in Camryn’s affairs like Serenity did.

These days, her doting parents were absent, imprisoned due to Serenity’s actions. Carrie understood the debt she needed to settle with Serenity. She had matured significantly and recognized that today was different from the past. As the second young lady of the Newman family, she had become a laughingstock in Wiltspoon after her long imprisonment. She resolved not to act recklessly anymore; instead of harming her enemies, she would be the one to suffer. The waiter arrived with their food. Mrs. Janzen said to…

“Miss Newman, please eat first,” Carrie said, though she wasn’t very polite. It had been a long time since she had eaten food from outside. While the dining environment couldn’t compare to what she had experienced before, it was still an improvement over prison.
