Newman and Carrie were arrested. Following a lawsuit from Serenity, Carrie received a lighter sentence than Mrs. Newman. While Mrs. Newman was determined to save her daughter, her impatience and ruthlessness ultimately led to her own arrest. She believed she could manipulate the men her godfather had left behind. However, her arrogance resulted in jail time, a common fate for gangsters.
“My uncle rushed back last night, but there was nothing he could do. He can only hire the best lawyer for my mom, yet I doubt it will make a difference. There are limits to what he can evade, and I believe he’ll soon join his wife and daughter in prison,” she remarked.
Camryn discussed the situation with Callum and decided to turn over the recorder to the police, reporting her mother and stepfather for plotting to kill her father. With so many witnesses to her mother’s crime, now was the ideal time to act. If she filed a report, the police would surely investigate.
Although she couldn’t gather evidence herself at the moment, the police would be able to assist her. Callum offered his unwavering support, assuring her he would stand by her no matter what. Camryn was deeply touched. Though their friendship was still developing, Callum’s readiness to help her unconditionally showed the values instilled in him by his family—the Yorks, who had raised him to be a principled man.
“Evil will never triumph over righteousness. As long as they’ve committed a crime, the truth will come out,” he said confidently.
Serenity squeezed Camryn’s hand. “I’m rooting for you!” she encouraged. They both understood the deeper meaning behind each other’s words.
Camryn replied gratefully, “Thank you.”
“Serenity, I truly appreciate it. I regret involving you; it was my mistake. I feel guilty whenever I reflect on it. I sincerely apologize.”
“If you ever need assistance in the future, please reach out to Callum. He will help you.”
