The woods were still untouched. Since Serenity had sued Carrie again, Mrs. Newman and her husband had been brainstorming ways to secure their daughter’s release from jail. They also arranged to hire the best defense attorney for her.
Although Carrie hired people to attack Serenity and vandalized her car, Serenity did not sustain any physical injuries. If Serenity chose to forgive Carrie, she would likely receive only a light sentence. However, Serenity, a country girl, was unwilling to let Carrie off easily.
The root of this conflict was none other than Camryn.
Mrs. Newman had never liked Camryn; in fact, she wished her daughter were dead. It was her husband who persuaded her to spare Camryn’s life, as Camryn was blind and the only child of her deceased ex-husband.
Callum grinned and said, “We’re not engaged yet, but she already feels like a wife to me. We’ll have an engagement party when I propose, and I’ll send you an invitation. I hope you can attend.”
Despite Mrs. Newman’s hostility towards Camryn, she remained Camryn’s mother.
Callum would happily send an invitation to his future mother-in-law when he got engaged to Camryn, giving her the opportunity to attend their engagement party.
This was sure to annoy Mrs. Newman.
Mrs. Newman had no idea that Callum’s fiancée was the daughter she despised. In response to Callum’s comment, Mrs. Newman smiled and replied, “Thank you for the invitation, Callum. I would be delighted to attend your engagement party.”
Despite the tensions between the Newmans and Zachary and his wife, Mrs. Newman still dreamed of marrying her younger daughter into the York family.
At worst, Carrie could exclude Zachary’s younger brother from consideration as a potential husband.
