To avoid direct conflict, Carrie expressed her disdain, stating, “Do you really believe Serenity has no backer? She is extremely selective about her friends and doesn’t consider family background, character, or fate. I despise her so much that I fear I won’t be able to control myself when I see her. How can we ever be friends if we end up strangling her?” Aside from her family, Serenity’s only true ally was Jasmine. Carrie doubted her ability to follow through. Mr. Labbe replied, “However, you can target Sonny. Even if you can’t gain Serenity’s complete trust, forming a friendship with her will allow you to visit her home frequently, giving you the chance to meet him.” Carrie remembered, “Sonny is about three or four years old and just started kindergarten. It’s not summer vacation, and winter break hasn’t arrived yet. I worry the two little kids won’t have the opportunity to interact.” Mr. Labbe acknowledged this, saying, “I understand, which is why I mentioned that our collaboration won’t be easy. If everything goes well, it could take a year and a half. If not, it might take ten years or more. Regardless of how long it takes, I can afford to wait.”

Carrie felt compelled to join Mr. Labbe’s scheme. “Alright, I will do it. Once it’s accomplished, you must keep your promise. I want everything belonging to the Newman family; it should all be mine! I am my parents’ most cherished child, and everything should belong to me!” Mr. Labbe replied, “As a reward, I can offer you Camryn. You can do whatever you wish with her.” Carrie grinned maliciously, “One day, I want to see her desperate; I want to see her kneeling before me, begging for my help, pleading for her freedom, haha!” The two women she loathed the most were Serenity and Camryn. If…

If it weren’t for them, she would still be the second young lady of the Newman family; her parents wouldn’t have intervened, and her life wouldn’t have changed so drastically, leading her to become the mistress of an older man, Mr. Labbe! Mr. Labbe’s revenge was never too late, even after ten years! She endured it! She would wait for the day when happiness would finally arrive.
