Serenity and Zachary York



If they saw Carrie as a bad person, then were they good people? If Camryn was a good person, she should have been generous enough to let bygones be bygones and given Carrie all her parents' assets.

"Carrie, that's not what I mean. I don't. To me, both you and Camryn are my sisters. I just think you need to be independent, stand on your own two feet, and know how to judge the situation.

"We can't live under our parents' protection forever. They can't help us now, so we have to rely on ourselves. Camryn isn't as malicious as you think she is. If she really were ruthless, you wouldn't be sitting here cursing her out right now.

"Camryn hasn't stolen our assets either. She's just taken back what Uncle Abel left for her, and according to the law, she's entitled to a portion of Mom's assets too. She is her biological daughter, after all.

"I'm still studying at the moment and I can't focus on managing the company and our business. That's why I asked Camryn to help me with it. I trust she won't covet it," Trenton explained as he defended Camryn.

"You're always like this, Carrie. Even if I gave you Dad and Mom's assets, would you be able to hold on to them? You'd lose it all in a second. And Aunt Brenda and Aunt Amy's families would definitely leech you dry if you had money.

"You see? Now that you can't offer them anything anymore, they've vanished and cut all contact with you. I'm younger than you yet I can see all this. Why can't you?”

Trenton was at a loss with Carrie and did not want to argue with her every time they met either. It was all their parents' fault for spoiling her. Educating a child was much more difficult than spoiling one; the former would take three years while the latter only took three minutes.

"Enough, that's enough! Stop telling me all these things!" Carrie took a tissue to wipe her tears and sobbed, "You're drunk on her lies. You won't listen to anything I say and keep turning it on me instead. I don't want to argue with you every single time we meet either.

"I'm doing so badly now. Go rent me a better apartment, help me pay a year's rent, and send me money for electricity and water every month. I'll pay for those myself."

Both Camryn and Serenity were looking into her out of suspicion that she was Mrs. Longbottom. Mr. Longbottom said that she must have a permanent residence. As long as her enemy saw her often, their suspicions would be dispelled and she could truly integrate into Serenity's social circle.

Then, she could slowly complete the task Mr. Longbottom had entrusted her with. Last night, Mr. Longbottom called and told her that winter break was soon. The two young boys were expected to play together during this time.

He told her to gain Serenity's trust as soon as possible and integrate into the wealthy madams' circle in Wiltspoon. Carrie might not be short of money now, but she did not want to spend her own money to rent a place, so she would just get her brother to do it for her. After all, he had money, and part of it was hers. It would be a waste if she did not spend it.noveldrama

"Once I've recovered and the holidays are over, I'll get a job. But I don't have any work experience, so even if I get one, I won't earn much. You still have to give me an allowance every month. You have to give me at least five or eight thousand but it'd be best if you gave me over ten thousand.

"Don't forget that part of the money you have now is mine, Trenton. I'm just spending my own money. Do you have money now? Transfer thirty thousand dollars to me now. My body needs to eat well to recover. I don't have money and I can't afford to buy supplements, so that's why I still look terrible."

After a moment of silence, Trenton took out his phone and transferred twenty thousand dollars to Carrie's bank account. Once he was done, he said, "If you haven't eaten, I'll take you out for dinner. Once we're done we can look for a place to rent. When that's settled, I'll go with you to buy some daily necessities.

"I'll pay a year's rent upfront for you and get the landlord to send me the water and electricity bills every month so I can pay it for you. Once the holidays are over, you need to hurry up and get a job."
