Chapter 1345
Callum followed the Newmans’ car from a safe distance. Initially, there was nothing that would rouse his suspicion. After tailing them for about ten minutes, he noticed that they were going in a different direction and were not heading toward the Newmans’ place. Callum was alarmed by this. Where was the Newmans’ bodyguard taking Camryn? His expression gradually darkened, but he knew that this was not the time to act on impulse yet. He continued tailing the car from an appropriate distance. He would have to wait until they had arrived at their destination before he could figure out what was happening. Camryn was completely clueless to the fact that Callum was tailing her, even the bodyguard driving did not notice as well. She sat quietly inside the car and listened to the rumble of the car’s engine and the friction of tires against the asphalt. From time to time, she could hear the sounds of other vehicles passing by; the gentle whoosh produced when two vehicles gli

He took a brutal beatdown from Camryn and ended up having to scramble out of the car to get away from her. Camryn quickly hobbled out of the car as well. It would be entirely unreasonable for her to continue attacking the man since she could not see. After she got out of the car, she took off the other shoe and immediately ran off. She had no idea where she was supposed to run toward at all. She had only managed several steps before she was apprehended by the man who reeked of cigarettes. He jerked her backward forcefully and slammed her into the car. Before she could regain her balance, the man pinned her against the car. She began swinging at the man haphazardly with her high heels to no avail since it was quickly snatched out of her hands. Left without a weapon, she resorted to jabbing her knee upward as hard as she could. “Ugh!” The man let out a muffled grunt. Suddenly, Camryn felt his weight lifted off her body. She must have kneed the man right in the

The man turned around and swung a fist aimed at Callum’s face. Callum dodged and countered with a punch of his own. The man jerked his head to the side and barely managed to avoid the hit. It was very cramped inside the car, which greatly limited the man’s range of movement. Despite his best attempt to fight Callum off, it was going to be a downhill battle no matter what since he was sitting while Callum was standing. Callum was driven by rage and completely relentless. Several minutes later, Callum gave the degenerate a terrific beatdown. After ensuring that there would not be any further resistance, he dragged the man out of the car. He threw him to the ground so he could take a closer look at the man with the help of the streetlights. The degenerate’s face had been completely pummeled to a point that he was unrecognizable. His face was swollen and his nose was broken. The only clue Callum was able to decipher was that the man was in his forties to fifties. “How dar

Camryn stopped resisting at last. She was hesitant in touching Callum and could not find a comfortable place to rest her hand. Callum pressed forward with Camryn in his arms and remarked candidly, “You look so tiny so I thought it’d be pretty easy to carry you, but you sure are heavier than you look. If you had run off farther than you had, I’ll be looking at a gruesome workout having to carry you back to the car.” Camryn was slightly offended, “I never asked you to carry me…” She had mentioned that she could walk by herself. It was Callum who insisted on carrying her because he decided that she was going to be too slow without her shoes. “Do you want me to put you down so you can walk?” “Sure.” She preferred being led by the hand rather than being carried. With that, he put her down gently on the ground. He was being honest when he said that Camryn was too heavy for him. He could only carry her for several more minutes at most. It was not surprising consi

“Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before we find Dr. Carden and have your eyes treated.” Callum assured Camryn. “I don’t think you should hold out for the genius doctor though. He’s already pretty old by now and I doubt he’s still practicing anymore even if you find him. Besides, word is that Dr. Carden has taken over. She’s learned from the legendary genius doctor himself and her skills are unmatched in the medical world.” The way Callum saw it, being able to enlist Dr. Carden’s help was a miracle in itself already. He did not see the need to hold out for the genius doctor. His brother had mentioned that Dr. Carden was a brilliant practitioner who was very good at her craft and known for making some otherworldly concoctions. She never used her concoctions for nefarious purposes, she mostly used them to instill fear and respect. She was also said to be a brilliant fighter. She had quite a history with Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette and had saved the life of Mr. Lafayette

Mr. Newman spoke in a concerned tone. When he noticed the state Camryn was in and how she had lost her shoes, he turned to his wife and asked nicely, “Honey, could you take Camryn into the house?” Then, he turned to Callum and made an inviting gesture, “Mr. York, please, come inside.” Callum was planning to leave right after dropping Camryn off, but he promptly changed his mind. He decided to have a quick chat with Mr. Newman as a show of respect. Several minutes later after Callum relayed what happened, Mr. Newman erupted with rage and cursed out loud, “Damned fool! All I did was give him a strong talking-to. I cannot believe he would turn around and do something like this and try to hurt my niece!” He thanked Callum profusely, “Mr. York, you have my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for you showing up at the right time, who knows what that nasty excuse of a bodyguard would have done to Camryn?“ The poor bodyguard took the fall. Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged fro

“Do you think Camryn can marry into the Yorks even if we want her to?” Mr. Newman said, “I don’t want her to marry into the Yorks either. Although I dote on her because she’s my brother’s only child, I love our son and daughter more. How could I possibly let her marry into the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon? “Don’t think about getting Carrie to marry into the Yorks either; she doesn’t stand a chance. Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that we have a beef with Mr. and Mrs. York makes it impossible for the other bachelors of the Yorks to like her. Carrie is only twenty, so there’s no hurry for her to get married now. “What we need to do is to get her out first.” Mr. and Mrs. Newman walked to the couch and sat. The latter asked, “How do we save her? We’ve bowed our heads and apologized, but they were all to no avail. We initially found someone who could help mediate the situation, but it was ruined by Mr. Callum. “Darling, will Mr. Callum recognize that man is from the

The headache was coming from a hangover. Serenity endured the headache and reached for her phone to check the time. It was ten in the morning. She muttered, “When he wakes up, he goes off and leaves me alone in the room; when I wake up first, he’ll say I’m leaving him behind and abandoning him.” Knock, knock.There was a knock on the door. Thinking it was the maid, Serenity answered, “Come in.” The door was pushed open, but it was her sister, Liberty, who came in. Her nephew, Sonny, followed behind. “Liberty?” Serenity was surprised to see her sister. After all, her sister’s breakfast place had not closed at this hour. “Liberty, why are you here?” Serenity was about to turn over to get out of bed, but her head ached more due to the sudden huge movement. She had slept all night, so why was her head still aching? She only drank a few glasses of wine. Liberty walked over and sat on the edge of Serenity’s bed. She looked at Serenity and asked, “Does your heart hurt
