Brenda continued, “The first fight you had with Camryn was a typical sisterly dispute, rooted in your Newman family’s affairs. No matter how much Serenity enjoys meddling in others’ business, she won’t interfere with your sisters.” Carrie responded angrily, “Are we really going to let Serenity live so freely and comfortably? Her happiness comes at our expense!” Brenda sighed, “What can we do? Given our current situation, what do you think we can accomplish against her? Look at yourself; you can’t even enter your own home. What can you do against the eldest mistress of the Zhan family?” Carrie fell silent, realizing she couldn’t respond. She wanted to mention that she had found a supporter, but Mrs. Janzen had cautioned her against disclosing their cooperation. She held her tongue, aware that she still needed to earn Mrs. Janzen’s trust. Mrs. Janzen had told her that the decision to cooperate would depend on her actions once she returned to the Newman family. Brenda continued, “Carrie, it’s not about boosting others’ ambitions while undermining our own. The reality is that you need to reclaim everything from the Newman family first. After that, we can assist you in managing your affairs and strengthening the Newman family. Once our family becomes more powerful, seeking revenge will be easier.” Carrie replied bitterly, “Aunt Brenda, Aunt Amy, I understand now that I can’t act impulsively like I used to. I’ve changed internally; I’m no longer the reckless, arrogant Carrie I once was. When will my cousins return? I came here to ask for their help in my fight. If I can deal with those wolves, I can regain access to everything—my phone, bank cards, and valuables are all at home. Once I’m inside, I can retrieve it all. Even if Camryn has Callum backing her, so what? I refuse to believe I can’t defeat a blind woman like her!” Carrie had always been the one to bully others.

Camryn realized that if she couldn’t even confront a blind woman, Mrs. Janzen would never cooperate with her. Without external assistance, staging a coup in Wiltspoon seemed nearly impossible. “They won’t be back until after work tonight. Since you can’t return now, why not stay here, have dinner, and wait for your cousins? I’ll accompany you back afterward to handle a few issues. Just deal with her decisively.” Carrie represented hope for both aunts. If she could reclaim everything from the Newman family, both families could regain their standing. Even if she couldn’t retrieve everything, simply having Carrie reside in the Newman family’s mansion would still benefit them.

Carrie possessed considerable assets under her name and was the favored child of her brother and sister-in-law. They had prepared a dowry for her since childhood, which was entrusted to her upon reaching adulthood to help her appreciate her heritage. Despite Carrie’s poor temper and apparent foolishness, she could be easily persuaded, allowing the two families to benefit and improve their situations. The two aunts of the Newman family, once affluent ladies for decades, felt stifled working as cleaners. The stark contrast to their past made them yearn for the return of their former glory.
