Chapter 1856
Callum was holding Camryn, but she did not need him to do so. Callum said, “Let me help you, or Trenton will blame me for being inconsiderate and incapable of taking good care of you as I left you to walk alone earlier.“He’s worried that you’re unfamiliar with the way, which might cause you to hit something or fall.”Upon hearing that, Camryn allowed Callum to hold her again. She said, “Trenton still cares about me.”“Both of you are siblings. Blood is thicker than water. Of course, he cares about you.”While walking, Camryn said, “He’s a good boy. He has respected me since he was young. His parents protected him very well, and he wasn’t corrupted by them.”In the past, Camryn treated her brother badly but she actually cared about him.Among the Newmans, Trenton was the only person who treated Camryn as a family member back then. After entering the cafe, Trenton ordered three cups of coffee, one for each of them.Camryn took a seat. Then, she stretched out her hand to touch h

After a pause, Camryn said gently, “Trenton, Newman Enterprise is our family’s company, so it’s our business. If you are to side with someone, you should side with me. Bear in mind that you’re eligible for the assets of the company.“Once college starts, work hard and don’t overthink things. We, adults, will settle our issues. Don’t be overly frugal. If you need money, just let me know. I’ll transfer money to your account.”Trenton looked at Camryn for some time before suddenly asking her, “Can you really bear to share our family’s wealth with me?”Trenton’s family told him that after Camryn took over Newman Enterprise, she would definitely dominate the company and forbid him from having a hand in it. She would not even share her family’s wealth with him because she hated his parents. Even though Trenton and Camryn shared the same mother, their mother treated Camryn awfully. Camryn probably perceived her mother to be nastier than Snow White’s stepmother. “Ouch.”Trenton was in

Callum rose to his feet. He lifted Camryn’s white cane and handed it to her. Then, he held her and walked.Trenton stood up as well. As he watched Camryn turn around and leave, his lips parted and he whispered, “Camryn.”It was not known whether Trenton’s call was left unheard or Camryn chose to ignore him. She neither stopped nor turned her head around.After pausing for a moment, Trenton stood up as Camryn was about to walk out of the cafe. He swiftly caught up with her and shouted, “Camryn.” This time, Camryn stopped in her tracks.However, she did not turn around.Everyone in the cafe turned their eyes to Camryn and Trenton.“Go and buy whatever you need. Book your flight in advance. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up on the day of your departure. You can move to my house if you want. It’ll forever be your home.”With that, Camryn strode away.“I’m sorry, Camryn.”Trenton apologized to her loudly.He should not have teased Camryn just now.Indeed, Camryn had been

“If I stop managing the company, will you be able to do it? Will you be able to learn the ways of business while studying? No, you won’t be able to manage the company. They’ll offer to help you manage the company.“After you hand over the company to them, do you think they’ll pass it back to you? Even if they do, it’ll end up as a shell company.”After Camryn finished speaking, she said to Callum, “Callum, let’s go.”“Alright.”Callum walked forward with Camryn while holding her thoughtfully. They exited the cafe and soon left Trenton.Trenton did not go after them. He stood still and guiltily watched Camryn leave.After some time, he averted his gaze. He returned to his seat in dejection and sat down. He lifted his cup and took a sip of coffee. Then, he put the cup down. He did not quite enjoy drinking coffee.He touched the part of his face that Camryn slapped. It was hot and probably swollen.Camryn slapped him out of fury.Despite being slapped by Camryn, Trenton did not h
Chapter 1860
Trenton did not conceal the truth. He admitted that Camryn was the one who slapped him. He even questioned Edward whether the latter had the courage to deal with Camryn.Edward choked. He then smiled wryly and said, “Camryn slapped you? Did she come to meet you? For what? Why did she slap you? Tsk. Camryn is really cruel. Half of your face is already swollen.“Trenton, you finally saw your sister’s true colors. She might usually seem nice, but she’s actually cruel despite her blindness. Once she has her eyes treated and her vision is restored, I’m afraid she’ll be crueler and put you in trouble.“Bear in mind that your parents are the cause of her father’s death. She’s probably mad at you because she hates your parents.“Don’t think that she’s treating you well and not turning against you now. That’s because she’s trying to make you drop your guard. When the time comes, she’ll do away with you mercilessly and cause you to lose everything. Perhaps, she might even induce you to commi
Chapter 1861
Edward did not stop Trenton and let him leave the cafe. After he left, Edward called his mother. When she picked up, he said, “Mom, Trenton is still unconvinced, but he might’ve fought with Camryn. He got slapped by Camryn, and one side of his face is swollen.”Upon hearing that, Mrs. Chandler said smugly, “That means our idea is working. You should pay more attention to Trenton and badmouth Camryn in front of him to ruin their relationship. I refuse to believe that Trenton doesn’t care at all.”Mrs. Chandler and her sister had negotiated with Camryn multiple times, but it did not work. They had always looked down on that niece of theirs as they were closer to Cain and were able to reap more benefits from him. Naturally, they would not treat Camryn well.Once Camryn took over Newman Enterprise, she started targeting the Chandlers and Joyners. Mrs. Chandler utterly despised Camryn. She did not understand how Camryn got so lucky to be blind but was still adored by Callum. They d

Callum held her hand and continued walking. As they walked, he said, “Trenton still cares about you a lot. He’s still young and inexperienced. Don’t take his words too seriously.”“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t angry or sad,” Camryn said softly. “I care about Trenton the most in that family. I may seem like I have a bad attitude toward him or that I hate him, but I still like this brother of mine a lot in my heart.“He’s different from them. He likes me from the bottom of his heart and truly sees me as his sister. Ever since he started remembering things, he would protect and help me. Whenever Mom hit or scolded me, he would always rush over to push her away and stop her from beating me. “My mom thought Trenton was only so protective of me because I coaxed him into doing so. After that, she stopped me from interacting with him and used every way possible to prevent Trenton and me from spending time together. However, since we lived in the same house, Trenton had always defended m

Callum said gently, “Trenton regrets what he said too. Give him some time, Camryn. He’ll grow up and start to understand you.”Trenton’s parents and sister had gone to jail partly because of Camryn. It was normal for him to find it difficult to accept the truth. After all, he was only seventeen years old. He had not been weathered by society and was not capable of processing so much shock.Camryn did not say a word. Callum accompanied her on a stroll around the garden. Camryn’s mood improved greatly as they walked on the shaded path with the cool breeze caressing them and listened to the passers-by chatting. She felt upset but did not harbor resentment toward her brother. She did not even want to clear up her brother’s misunderstanding and complaint. When suspicion arose and one was devoid of trust in a person, one would not believe the words of another, no matter how much explanation was given. That would be the case unless one was shown effort and their promise was fulfille
