-If Carrie is not a good person, does that imply that Camryn and Serenity are good people?

If Camryn were truly a good person, she would be generous enough to avoid arguing with Carrie and would willingly give her all their parents’ property. That would define a good person.

Trenton said, “Second sister, I didn’t mean it that way. I truly didn’t. In my heart, both you and the eldest sister are my sisters. I just believe that you should become independent and self-reliant now, stand on your own two feet, and learn to assess situations. We can’t always depend on our parents’ protection.

Our parents can’t assist us anymore; we must learn to rely on ourselves.

The eldest sister isn’t as bad as you think. If she were truly cruel, you wouldn’t be sitting here scolding her. She hasn’t taken our property; she merely reclaimed what was left to her by our second uncle. According to the law, she is entitled to a share of the property in our mother’s name as well, since she is also our mother’s biological child.

I am still studying and cannot divert my attention to managing the company and handling business matters, so I entrusted those responsibilities to my eldest sister. I trust that she will not covet our property.”

Trenton explained and defended Camryn.

“Second sister, you always react this way. Even if I were to give you our parents’ wealth, would you be able to keep it? You would likely lose it all in no time. And those two eldest aunts and their entire family will definitely drain your resources as long as you have money. Just look—now that you have nothing to offer them, they’ve vanished without a trace and haven’t contacted you at all.

Second sister, I’m a few years younger than you, and I can understand these things, but why can’t you?”

He had no involvement with Carrie and wished to avoid conflict between the siblings whenever they met. The blame lay with their parents for indulging Carrie.

Raising children is challenging, but it’s all too easy to spoil them. It may take three years to instill good habits, yet only three minutes to teach bad ones.

“Stop, stop, stop repeating this!” Carrie exclaimed, wiping her tears with a tissue as she struggled to control her sobs. “You drank her magic soup, which makes you dismiss everything I say. Instead, you place the blame on me. I don’t want to argue every time we meet.”

“I’m stuck in such a miserable situation now. If you could rent me a better apartment, help cover the rent for a year, and transfer the utility bills to me each month, I’d manage the payments myself.”

Both Camryn and Serenity had sent people to investigate her, suspecting she might be Mrs. Labbe. Mr. Labbe had insisted that she needed a stable residence. As long as the enemy could see her regularly, their suspicions would fade. Only then could she truly become part of Serenity’s social circle and gradually fulfill the tasks assigned to her by Mr. Labbe.

Last night, Mr. Labbe called to remind her that winter vacation was approaching, which would likely mean the two children would be spending time together. She needed to seize the opportunity to earn Serenity’s trust and integrate into the ladies’ circle in Wiltspoon.

Carrie wasn’t struggling financially, but she was reluctant to spend her own money on rent. Instead, she asked Trenton to handle it for her. After all, Trenton had money, and she had a share of his finances.

She was neither overly affluent nor extravagant.

“When I recover and the New Year comes, I intend to look for a job. However, I lack work experience, so even if I do find employment, my income won’t be substantial. You’ll need to continue providing me with monthly living expenses.”

Please give me $3,000; ideally, I need at least $5,000 or $8,000, but preferably $10,000. Trenton, I have a share of the money in your possession. I’m simply spending my own funds.

Do you have any money with you right now? Please transfer $10,000 to me. I need to recover and get some nutrition. I’m out of funds and can’t afford nutritional supplements. I’ve always felt unattractive.

After a moment of silence, Trenton took out his mobile phone and transferred $20,000 to her. Once the transfer was complete, he said, “If you haven’t eaten, I’ll take you out for a meal. After that, we can look for a place to rent, and I’ll help you buy some essentials.”

“I’ll cover your rent for a year, and I will take care of the water and electricity bills each month. After the New Year, you should quickly find a job.”
