Chapter 1350
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbodyguard would have done to Camryn?”
The poor bodyguard took the fall.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged from Camryn’s room.
She felt an enormous swell of anguish deep in her heart.
Apart from having her dress ruined and losing a pair of high heels, Camryn was largely in one piece. There were minimal wounds on her body and hardly any noticeable
bruises at all. Callum had saved her from being disgraced.
If she had known this would happen, she would have drugged Camryn at the banquet so she would not have had the strength to resist.
The only reason she had not drugged Camryn was that the man said that he did not like his women unconscious. She did not expect the man to be such an imbecile and could
not even subdue a blind girl.
Also, how did Callum manage to show up just in time to save the blind fool?
They were back to square one–what would happen to Carrie now?
Mrs. Newman was fuming but knew better than to let it show. She joined her husband and Callum and began expressing her gratitude toward Callum as well.
Camryn joined them after she changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on a pair of slippers.
Callum glanced at her and observed that she had returned to her usual stoic self. He grimaced and stayed silent.
She approached him and sat on the corner of the couch. She sat passively while she listened to her mother and stepfather yelling at the bodyguards.
Her stepfather prattled about wanting to call the police, but her mother stopped him from doing so, stating concerns about damaging Camryn’s reputation.
“Mr. Newman, Mrs. Newman, it’s getting late. I’ll be heading back first.”
The Newman couple were pretty good actors and Callum knew better than to call their bluff. He told himself that he would find out the identity of the degenerate who tried to
take advantage of Camryn first. After he had ample proof, he would avenge poor Camryn.
He rose and announced solemnly, “Mr. Newman, Camryn is a good friend of my sister–in–law, she cares about Camryn very much.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Newman spoke up frantically, “I understand. It is a great honor for me to say that my niece boasts a good relationship with Mrs. York. Truly, 1 thank you for Mrs. York
looking out for her tonight and entrusting you with sending her home. I wouldn’t know what I’d do if something happened to Camryn. I would have failed my duties and failed
her father as well.”
He said with a tight look of agitation screwed on his face.
“I will immediately assign a new female bodyguard to her starting tomorrow and take special care to keep her safe at all times.”
Mr. Newman gave his word as he walked Callum out of the house.
Mrs. Newman followed behind the men.
Camryn did not see Callum off, but she did rise on his feet facing his direction as he left. After the sound of their footsteps had faded away, she retreated to her room, shut
the door, and locked it. This was the only way she felt safe.
After Callum was gone, Mr. Newman exchanged a look with his wife. Only then did the two head back into the house.
They did not try to pester Camryn again and went upstairs silently instead. After returning to their bedroom and ensuring the door was closed, Mrs. Newman addressed her
husband rather sternly,” I don’t agree with this decision you’ve made. I understand this is all done to save Carrie, but I cannot bear to see Camryn marrying into the Yorks.”
She would have chosen death rather than see such an arrangement play out.
She only wanted her darling Carrie to marry into the Yorks.
