Mr. Labbe assured Carrie that once he confirmed Titus was the boy they were seeking, he would transfer all the Newman family’s property to her, including Serenity. This would allow Carrie the freedom to do as she pleased.

However, Mr. Labbe did not disclose that his promises held little value.

After the incident concluded, it remained uncertain whether Carrie would survive. She found herself dreaming of Mr. Labbe making enemies of the York and Bucham families because of her actions.

The bodyguards were aware of this but remained vigilant to keep an eye on Carrie and assist her, which meant they couldn’t reveal too much information.

Let Carrie indulge in sweet dreams.

After all, how could she be motivated to help Mr. Labbe otherwise?

Carrie pursed her lips and said, “I understand. Why are you so cold and indifferent toward me? You must refer to me as Mrs. Labbe in front of others.”

The two bodyguards treated her with respect in her presence, but when she was not around, they acted like servants keeping a watchful eye on her.

While they were skilled fighters, she lacked any combat abilities and would be defenseless against them.

If they chose to attack, they would be ruthless and show no mercy.

She had previously complained to Mr. Labbe, who warned her not to provoke them, explaining that they were rough men who lacked gentleness and had blood on their hands.

This terrified her so much that she never dared to challenge them again.

“Today, you made an appearance in front of Serenity with a new look. You can reclaim your identity as Miss Newman and provoke your sister again to prevent them from losing track of you and raising suspicions.”

Carrie had vanished, replaced by the unfamiliar Mrs. Labbe, making it easy for people to connect the two.

“Okay, I’ll return to my rental house after dinner, and then…”

“I’ll go find Camryn to stir things up.”

When Carrie learned that she could reclaim her identity as Miss Newman, she couldn’t conceal the relief on her face.

It would be much easier to be the second young lady in the Newman family.

Being Mrs. Labbe was neither relaxing nor comfortable. They always believed she was not well-educated enough, that her temperament was too harsh, and that she was prone to impulsive behavior. They compelled her to study every day and insisted she work on improving her moral character.

Her personality was established and difficult to alter.

If allowed to act for a few days, she could still manage. However, playing the role of a distinguished lady for an extended period would drive her insane.

The bodyguard stated, “Once you regain your identity as Miss Newman, you won’t be able to use the bag or clothes you currently wear. You can use the money your husband provided as long as you can to avoid drawing attention.”

Carrie felt a pang of discontent. Upon meeting the bodyguard’s cold gaze, she could only respond flatly, “I understand.”

Even with money, she couldn’t spend it freely. The funds were obtained at the cost of her innocence. For the sake of her future, she decided to endure for now.

It was certainly better than going to jail.

Now, her parents had begun to heed Trenton’s advice and were in the process of transferring all their assets to him.

She only requested Trenton provide her with $10,000 a month for living expenses.

Trenton insisted he would only give her $5,000 each month.

Her parents pressed him to agree to the $10,000, and he eventually relented, giving her the remaining $5,000 just two days ago. Trenton had become a pawn in Camryn’s game, and he…

trusted Camryn.
