-Carrie asked in confusion, “Why do I need to change my appearance? I am very happy with my natural looks and don’t wish to alter them.” Mr. Labbe smiled and replied, “Miss Newman, you look great. If you prefer not to undergo surgery, simply wear a human skin mask when you go out. The mask I have prepared for you looks incredibly realistic. Additionally, I will provide you with a new identity. Until our cooperation is complete, you cannot revert to your original identity. I assure you that once my affairs are resolved, I will grant you any Newman family property you desire. As for your blind older sister, Camryn, I wish to eliminate her. There’s no reason to fear; however, I need your cooperation. It is only after my matters are settled that I can assist you in obtaining everything you want.” Mr. Labbe spoke with such arrogance, as if he believed he could easily crush the second young master of the York family, likening it to squashing an ant. Carrie responded, “Mr. Labbe, are you truly capable? My blind eldest sister has regained her sight and is now the second-youngest mistress of the York family. Aren’t you from Wiltspoon? Do you understand the York family’s standing there? Before my parents were imprisoned, they wouldn’t dare act arrogantly in front of Young Master York. They didn’t even speak loudly; they had to tread carefully to please him. The York family not only possesses significant financial resources but also has extensive connections. Their relatives and friends are all affluent families. Many wealthy families in Wiltspoon are linked to the York family. If the York family is harmed, it would be akin to turning the entire upper-class society of Wiltspoon against you.” Carrie felt powerless, as she was too young, energetic, and…

spoiled by her parents. Nevertheless, she was aware of the York family’s prominence in Wiltspoon. This knowledge led her to consider marrying into the York family and becoming a young mistress, but unfortunately, she did not succeed. In contrast, Camryn was fortunate enough to win Callum’s heart, successfully marry into the York family, and become the second young lady. Although they have yet to hold a wedding ceremony, they have obtained a marriage certificate. Carrie overheard Trenton mention that Callum now frequently stays overnight at the Newman family villa, sharing a bed with Camryn. Prior to their marriage certificate, Callum always occupied the guest room. Trenton held Camryn in high regard; if Callum ever mistreated her, he would certainly intervene. He was indifferent to the situation; he was simply pleased that the two had become a legal couple. Carrie accepted this news without question. Mr. Labbe smiled and remarked, “This presents some challenges, but as long as I desire something, I can achieve it. I do not underestimate Wiltspoon or the Bucham family.” Other wealthy families may possess more money, but they were not as intimidating. He feared the Bucham family, which is why he approached Carrie instead of confronting the issue directly. Carrie harbored deep resentment towards Serenity and, given her current decline, it was the perfect opportunity to exploit her. Mr. Labbe did not wish to attack Serenity; he merely aimed to use Carrie to help confirm something. “Miss Newman, I realize that no matter what I say, you may still doubt my intentions. That’s understandable; to you, I am merely a stranger and an uninvited guest. However, as we spend time together, you’ll come to see that I am someone who honors my word.” Carrie remained skeptical.

Short on money at that time, Ms. Labbe’s promise thrilled her. She seized the bag full of cash and asked Mr. Labbe, “Mr. Labbe, you haven’t yet told me what to do. Also, which identity do you want me to adopt in front of everyone?” “My mistress,” Mr. Labbe replied.
