Married At First Sight Chapter 3501
Married At First Sight Chapter 3501-Callum said with a serious expression, “You know Carrie’s personality best. Her parents couldn’t teach her well, but now that person can transform her into a lady of noble standing. Although she’s still a little short, it’s impressive. I’ll talk to my eldest brother later.”
Camryn replied, “It feels like she’s targeting Serenity, but I don’t know why.”
Callum comforted her, “Don’t overthink it; we’ll find out. When your assistants return, we’ll go eat. Do you want to go back to Wildridge Manor or the hotel?”
“The hotel. It’s too far to return to Wildridge Manor.”
Although the old seniors were still at Wildridge Manor, they were about to leave, so Callum and the others had resumed their normal routines. Those who had work went to work, and those still in school continued their studies.
It was the beginning of the winter vacation. Most students were on break, but Rowan, a high school student, was still attending extra classes. He could only take a break when the New Year approached and would start school earlier than others afterward.
“I didn’t want to go back to Wildridge Manor tonight, but now I think I have to. My sister-in-law is still there.” Camryn nodded, wanting to inform Serenity about what had happened.
Considering that Serenity was at Wildridge Manor with the old lady, Camryn decided to wait until after dinner to discuss it.
Meanwhile, the fake Carrie left Spring Blossoms by car and immediately called her stand-in.
The stand-in answered quickly. “Where are you now?”
“On the way back to your residence.”
Carrie was silent for a moment, then said, “Okay, let’s talk when we meet later.”
The fake Carrie said, “Just prepare the money for me. I got slapped several times and need compensation.”
Carrie smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly.”
Watching others get slapped felt gratifying to Carrie. She couldn’t stand seeing others happy and relished their suffering. Without a stand-in, she would have been the one slapped.
Callum really protected that blind woman. Her mother was right: the men of the York family dote on their wives, and all members of the York family have weaknesses.
Everything Camryn has now originally belonged to Carrie. She vowed to take it all back, ruin Camryn’s reputation, leave her with nothing, and hand her over to Mr. Labbe for abuse.
Mr. Labbe had said the blind woman was much smarter than Carrie. He was interested in both the blind woman and Serenity. Carrie felt thrilled thinking about their fate. She envisioned herself as the head of the Newman family, worth over a billion, and marrying into the York family would be a perfect match.
She didn’t mind if Callum and Camryn divorced. As long as the second-married man was Callum, it was worth it to her.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Carrie’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she saw it was Mr. Labbe.
She composed herself before answering, “Mr. Labbe.”
Mr. Labbe laughed on the phone, “I can hear your joy. You seem in a good mood. It appears your plan is working well.”
“Yes, it is. The blind woman now believes Mrs. Labbe is Mrs. Labbe, not Miss Newman. You were amazing to find a lookalike so quickly.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3502
Married At First Sight Chapter 3502-Carrie added, “When I saw the stand-in, I thought she was my twin sister. Her body shape, face, and voice are all very similar.”
Carrie believed that two unrelated people could look so alike. She had never met the stand-in before. When they first met, they were both shocked, thinking their parents had other children.
For this, Carrie feared Mr. Labbe even more. In just a few days, he had found a stand-in who learned Carrie’s habits and speech perfectly.
“Does your sister really have no doubts?” Mr. Labbe asked. He was satisfied with his choice but knew Camryn was smart. Despite being blind for ten years, Camryn was sharp and observant. Was it so easy for her to believe the stand-in was Carrie?
“There is no doubt at all. Even the voices match. Why would she doubt?”
Carrie was suspected before because she hadn’t learned to change her voice, which made Camryn and Serenity suspicious.
“It’s only once, so we can’t be sure. If you act out the scenes a few more times and she still has no doubts, then she believes it,” Mr. Labbe cautioned. “There are many smart people around Camryn. Be careful they don’t catch on that you’re using a stand-in.”
Carrie smiled, “Mr. Labbe, you’re too cautious. Camryn and I have been sisters for over 20 years. I know her well. If she suspected it wasn’t me, she wouldn’t bother to pay attention. But to ease your worries, we’ll act out more scenes. By the way, she angered Callum and was slapped a few times by the York family bodyguards. She wants compensation. You can decide how much and transfer the money to me.”
Mr. Labbe said, “After you two agree on the amount, let me know, and I’ll give it to you.”
Carrie, seeing an opportunity to make some money, smiled, “That’s fine. I’ll talk to her when I get home. Just a few hundred dollars per slap.”
Mr. Labbe said, “No matter the amount, as long as you think it’s worth it. You performed well today. I’ll transfer some money to your account for you to buy some jewelry or bags, whatever you like.”
Hearing this, Carrie sweetly thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Labbe, I will work harder.”
“Keep up the good work and try to gain Serenity’s trust and become her friend soon.” Mr. Labbe wanted Carrie to infiltrate Serenity’s circle before the New Year. Serenity might meet Jane at a party, and they could confirm whether Jane’s adopted son was the one Mr. Labbe was looking for. He couldn’t rest easy until he found the boy and reclaimed what belonged to the family head.
Even as the acting head of the family, he could never become the real head. Despite all he had done, this was the result, and he was unwilling to accept it!
Married At First Sight Chapter 3503
Married At First Sight Chapter 3503-However, it was too late in terms of timing. Mr. Labbe also knew that he couldn’t rush things.
Serenity and the others were too guarded.
Carrie had arranged an early encounter to get to know Serenity and the others, but Serenity remained wary of her.
The main reason was that Carrie had not learned to change her voice, which made Serenity suspect she was the second Miss Newman. As a result, Serenity was always on guard, and there had been no progress.
Mr. Labbe wanted to vent his frustration on Carrie, thinking she was useless.
On reflection, it wasn’t entirely her fault.
Carrie lacked ability from the start. She was a child spoiled by her parents, ignorant of the world’s harsh realities. She caused a major disaster, implicating her parents and leading to the Newman family returning to Camryn’s control. Carrie herself was imprisoned for a period, and upon her release, she became a target for Mr. Labbe.
He had someone train her for a while, and she had improved somewhat. Her IQ had increased a bit, which was already a significant achievement.
“Yes, it will succeed this time. I heard the York family seems to have a few distinguished guests, but I don’t know who they are. In the past two days, all the young masters of the York family have returned whenever they could. Wildridge Manor is as lively as a banquet, but only certain families are invited—the Lewis family, the Stone family, and the Bucham family. Others haven’t been invited and can’t enter.”
Mr. Labbe hummed, “I know this. It’s good that you found out. If your abilities have improved, keep working hard. As long as you improve, I will reward you. When my plan is completed, I will give you whatever you desire. Marrying into the York family as a young lady is not a problem. You can choose any of the nine young masters of the York family. The Newman family’s property will be yours. You can do whatever you want with those you hate.”
Mr. Labbe painted a rosy picture for Carrie again.
Without this vision, Carrie would have no ambition.
Carrie said stubbornly, “I only want Callum, the second young master of the York family. I want everything Camryn has now. Making her lose everything she has is the most brutal revenge.”
She also wanted Callum to compare whether she was better than Camryn.
That blind woman didn’t even graduate from high school. How could she compare with Carrie? Although she didn’t finish college, she attended for two years, which was much better than Camryn.
She had also seen the world. Camryn had never experienced it.
Before Camryn was blind, their mother would only take Carrie out for social events, not Camryn.
Now that Camryn had regained her sight, so what?
She still rarely attended banquets. The last time she finally went to a banquet with her mother-in-law, she was ridiculed and mocked.
Although her in-laws all protected her, it must have been a big blow.
“Callum has been used by Camryn, and you still like him so much. It seems you really love him.”
Mr. Labbe laughed, without any jealousy. He didn’t like Carrie in the first place, but he slept with her to use and control her, making it difficult for her to escape him.
Carrie said, “I am Mr. Labbe’s woman now, and Callum is my sister’s man. We are in a complicated relationship.”
Mr. Labbe said, “Okay, whatever you want, I will give it to you when the time comes. Work hard, and call me if you have any new information.”
With that, Mr. Labbe hung up.
The car quickly took Carrie back to the Labbe family villa.
The fake Carrie had arrived first but couldn’t get in without a key, so she waited at the villa door.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3504
Married At First Sight Chapter 3504-After Carrie went in, the fake Carrie, the stand-in, drove in.
A few minutes later, they were the only two women in the luxurious hall. They sat on the opulent sofa, staring at each other.
“Do I look ugly now? I feel like my face is swollen like a fermented steamed bun.”
The stand-in touched both sides of her face, which were red, swollen, and painful.
The York family bodyguards were really strong.
Carrie couldn’t help laughing, “You do look ugly, haha, like a pig’s head.”
The stand-in glared at her.
“You still have the nerve to laugh. I’m suffering for you. Go, get me some ice for my face. It hurts so much.”
Carrie said, “You want me to get you some ice?” Her eyes widened, “I’m the hostess now; you have to understand.”
“I’m just imitating you. It’s only been a few days. Do you think I can learn it perfectly? I need more practice to become more like you, so I won’t reveal any flaws in front of them.” The stand-in spoke confidently. She just couldn’t help but order Carrie around.
She wasn’t a proper Mrs. Labbe.
What was she doing in front of her?
They were both pawns Mr. Labbe wanted to use.
Carrie was speechless.
Seeing the other person’s red and swollen face, she thought that she had suffered for her, so she decided to help her get some ice cubes.
So, Carrie got up, walked away, and brought back a bag of ice cubes for the stand-in.
“Here, the ice cubes are for you.”
After handing the ice cubes to the stand-in, she sat down opposite her, crossing her legs, not looking like a lady from a noble family at all.
“Who told you not to leave then? I told you that as long as I showed up and let Camryn see that you and I are different people, you could leave. You refused to go and kept arguing. You deserved to be beaten.”
The stand-in said unhappily, “I wanted to act longer to make your sister believe we are two people. Who would have thought her husband would hear it? He came, and you saw him but didn’t warn me.”
Carrie: “…”
She hadn’t seen Callum at that time. When she did, Callum had already spoken.
The stand-in said, “By the way, your brother-in-law, Callum, is really handsome. Rumor has it all the young masters of the York family are very good-looking. It’s true. Callum is so handsome. Isn’t Zachary even more handsome?”
Everyone considered Zachary the young master.
“They’re almost the same, but Callum is gentler than Zachary. If you see Zachary, you’ll know how scary he is. My legs tremble when I see him, and I wish I could find a hole to crawl into so he wouldn’t see me. By the way, you must remember that next time you see Zachary, act very scared. Don’t be like today, acting like a fangirl when you saw Callum.”
Carrie reminded the stand-in.
The fake Carrie applied ice to her face and said, “I don’t know what Zachary looks like. When can I see him? If Callum hadn’t spoken first today, I wouldn’t have known he was Second Young Master York.”
Carrie said, “I’ll ask the bodyguard to find a photo of Zachary and show it to you later. You should remember the appearances of the young masters of the York family; otherwise, you won’t recognize them and could be exposed. I’m the second young lady of the Newman family, after all. I used to attend banquets often. I know all the young ladies and young masters in wealthy families.
Before the young masters of the York family enter society, their information is undisclosed. Except for their relatives and friends, outsiders can’t see them. It’s normal not to recognize them when you meet them.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3505
Married At First Sight Chapter 3505-Carrie’s stand-in looked at her with anticipation. She asked, “How many young masters of the York family are still unmarried?”
Carrie knew exactly what she was thinking and responded sarcastically, “Why, are you dreaming of marrying into the York family and becoming a young lady?”
“Not just anyone can join the York family. Look at me, the actual second lady of the Newman family. When my parents were alive, our family assets exceeded ten billion, yet we couldn’t mingle with the York family. At a banquet, my mother greeted the wives of the York family, and they merely nodded and smiled. It’s impossible to chat with them like friends.
The York family wives rarely attend banquets. If they do, it’s because someone with particularly high status in Wiltspoon invited them, and they attend out of obligation.
Don’t be fooled by their low profile. The York family wives all come from wealthy backgrounds. There is no poor woman in the York family.”
After a pause, Carrie added jealously, “Well, there is one exception now: Zachary’s wife, Serenity. Her love story with Zachary is famous in Wiltspoon. Her family isn’t poor by normal standards, but compared to the York family, she is. Yet she married into the York family as the eldest lady. Zachary is the eldest young master and the head of the next generation. Serenity will become the head lady of the York family in the future. People envy her luck, but it can’t be replicated.
I heard the old lady of the York family first took a liking to Serenity after she saved her in a small accident. In gratitude, she arranged for Zachary to marry Serenity. They got married quickly and grew fond of each other.
It’s said the old lady chose the other young ladies too. So, marrying into the York family isn’t about the young masters choosing us; it’s about whether the old lady approves of us.”
The stand-in’s eyes lit up. “What if the old lady likes me? Wouldn’t I have a chance to marry into the York family too? Look at Serenity. Maybe if I help old ladies in need, I’ll get lucky like her and marry into a wealthy family.”
Carrie sneered, “Do you really think it’s that easy? Serenity’s luck is one of a kind.”
Though envious and jealous, Carrie understood that Serenity’s luck wasn’t something everyone could have. It was a rare gift from nature.
“Although Serenity was relatively poor, she had opportunities and abilities. Even if you set aside her identity as the eldest lady of the York family, she is successful in her career. She opened a vegetable company with her cousin and best friend and made a lot of money. Also, she is a descendant of the former head of the Farrell family in Jensburg. Her aunt is married into the Stone family, the second wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. Her aunt treats her like her own daughter.
Do you have such an aunt? Does your mother come from such a background? Do you think the old lady of the York family casually picks a granddaughter-in-law?”
Carrie, not very bright herself, realized that the old lady’s chosen candidates were all very capable. It’s said she also chose a blind woman for Callum, giving him a year to win her over.
Carrie didn’t understand why the old lady picked Camryn, a seemingly insignificant person in the Newman family, who had been blind for ten years.
Now, she understood.
The old lady had sharp eyes.
She saw that Camryn was cunning and ruthless, pretending to be weak while plotting to seize the Newman enterprise and become its head.
Despite her envy, Carrie had to admit she wasn’t as good as Camryn in this regard.
No wonder her parents wanted to kill Camryn. Unfortunately, Camryn was lucky and survived, all because of their aunt Evelyn’s interference.
If it weren’t for Evelyn, Camryn would have been dead long ago.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3506
Married At First Sight Chapter 3506-Camryn was blind for ten years, and no one expected her to regain her sight one day. It was truly a matter of life and death.
Carrie’s questioning left the stand-in speechless. She was just a stand-in, and even Carrie, the real owner, couldn’t marry into the York family.
Moreover, Carrie had offended Callum, eliminating her chance of entering the York family.
With regret, she said, “I was hoping to take advantage of Serenity’s good fortune and become a young lady in the York family. I guess I was dreaming.”
Carrie smiled, “It’s understandable. Any girl who has seen any young master of the York family would be tempted. But unfortunately, they’re not normal. While most people develop romantic interests with age, they remain detached. When it’s time to marry, the old lady arranges everything, and they obediently pursue their assigned wives. Everyone respects the old lady.”
Carrie didn’t know if her last statement was a compliment or sarcasm, but it was likely a mix of resentment, hatred, and jealousy.
“You suffered on my behalf and took a few slaps. I told Mr. Labbe, and he will compensate you. Name your price. How much should you get for each slap? I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
Carrie’s words brought the stand-in back to reality. She still had a chance to covet the York family men, as Mr. Labbe promised she could marry any young master after completing her work. But the stand-in was just that—a stand-in.
The stand-in said, “Of course. I’m just an actor. There’s no reason for me to be beaten. You can give me $1,000 per slap. Was it three or four slaps? Maybe five or six? I lost count after the beating. Anyway, it was around five or six, or maybe seven or eight.”
Carrie replied, “You’re exaggerating. Okay, I’ll give you $5,000.”
She didn’t haggle with the stand-in and transferred $5,000.
The stand-in happily accepted the money. Although the slaps hurt, each one earned her more than $1,000. She could endure a few more.
Normally, she played minor roles in film and television. If lucky, she might get a bit part and earn some living expenses and pocket money for the day.
As an actress, she dreamed of becoming a leading lady someday, using her beauty and acting skills. But in the film and television industry, beauty was common. Her looks were just average there, not standout.
Being Carrie’s stand-in paid well, especially with compensation for being beaten. It was much more lucrative than being an extra.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3507
Married At First Sight Chapter 3507-The fake Carrie remarked, “This money is easy to make. Next time you cause trouble for your eldest sister, I’ll irritate her again and get her to slap me twice. I can make some extra money that way.”
Carrie laughed, “It’s only a few thousand dollars. It’s worth it for you to do this.”
“Miss Newman, you were born into a wealthy family and have always had everything you wanted. You’ve never had to worry about food or clothing, and you’ve always had endless money. You can’t understand the struggles of ordinary people like me. Your family has assets over 10 billion. What does 10 billion mean to the poor? My family can’t even come up with 500,000.
My brother wants to get married, and my sister-in-law demands a house, a car, the three golds, and a dowry. My brother has been working for nearly ten years, and his savings aren’t enough to cover the down payment. We’ve had to use up all my parents’ savings, and even my savings are gone.
I paid the down payment for the wedding house, bought a car, and borrowed money for the dowry.”
The stand-in paused and continued, “Ordinary people can remain poor for several years after getting married. My sister-in-law has been married for several years and has two children. She and my brother are still working hard to pay off debts, the mortgage, car loan, and other loans. Isn’t it ironic?
It would’ve been better if they had made fewer demands initially, got married, and worked hard together. Then they wouldn’t be struggling to pay off debts now. My family does have a house; it’s just a bit old and small. It’s not impossible to live in if we squeeze in. You won’t have this kind of difficulty.”
Carrie, feeling superior after the comparison, said, “That’s right, I’ve never worried about money.”
Even at her poorest, someone gave her money to spend. It was just a small price to pay.
“Okay, apply some ice to your face. I’ll go upstairs to change clothes, go shopping, and get some beauty and hair treatments.”
She wanted to spend money!
The money Mr. Labbe gave her monthly for keeping her, along with occasional gifts, was more than many people could earn in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Carrie felt superior again.
Even if she was just Mr. Labbe’s mistress, it wasn’t something just anyone could become.
The stand-in was really envious.
Watching Carrie’s back as she went upstairs, she murmured enviously, “When will I live a life where I have money to spend as I please?”
…
It gets dark early in winter. It was only a little after six in the evening, and the city lights were already on.
In a high-end ward in the inpatient department of Jensburg Central Hospital, Pedro opened several insulated lunch boxes he had just brought, took out the food, and arranged it on the coffee table in the small hall.
Then, he walked into the ward and said to Kathryn, who was lying there, “Miss, it’s time to eat.”
“Dinner? So soon? It feels like lunch wasn’t long ago.”
Kathryn sat up, still feeling a bit dizzy, and lay back down.
Pedro immediately stepped forward to help her, saying, “I told you not to get up too quickly. It’s easy to get dizzy. I don’t know what medicine Madam Farrell gave you. You’ve been sleeping for so long, but you still feel dizzy and fall asleep easily.”
He couldn’t imagine how long she would sleep if she finished that glass of water.
Kathryn said, “I’m much better now, but I still feel dizzy when I get up too quickly. Has the doctor found out anything yet?”
“No results yet,” Pedro comforted her. “They’ll figure it out eventually. You’ve recovered a lot. Just remember not to eat any food they send over, even the fruit they buy. Don’t eat it.”
No one in the Farrell family can be trusted now.
“I bought the vegetables and cooked dinner myself. I made all your favorites.”
Pedro helped Kathryn out of bed, saying, “Eat it while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
Kathryn laughed at herself, “I feel like I’m seriously ill now. I need your support to walk.”
“I can even carry you.”
Kathryn wasn’t unable to walk. Pedro was just being cautious, fearing she might get dizzy and fall.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3508
Married At First Sight Chapter 3508-Kathryn sat down on the sofa and looked at the full plate of dishes. “There are only two of us. We can’t eat all this. There’s no need to cook so much.”
“It’s not that much. The amount is just enough for two.”
He brought a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Kathryn, letting her drink it first.
“You eat too.”
“Okay.” Pedro didn’t refuse.
He had prepared the meal and brought it in an insulated lunch box without eating anything himself.
He liked eating with Kathryn. She had a good appetite and wasn’t like other wealthy girls who ate very little to maintain their figure.
She ate whatever she liked and as much as she wanted. She never mistreated her stomach.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Kathryn’s cell phone rang in the ward.
“I’ll get it for you.” Pedro put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up, retrieved Kathryn’s phone, and handed it to her. “It’s Ms. Queen calling.”
Kathryn answered quickly. “Ms. Queen,” she smiled, “are you back from vacation?”
“I’m back. I’ve been very busy since returning. I haven’t had time to visit you yet,” Hayden’s low voice came over.
Pedro could hear it. He pursed his lips but continued to listen. Internally, he complained: Hayden has already revealed she’s a woman, so why does she still speak like a man? Her voice sounds so nice.
His lady, Kathryn, had always had a good impression of Hayden.
Hayden was truly a charmer for both men and women.
Many men, upon learning Hayden was a woman, regretted not pursuing her before Third Young Master York did. They thought they might have had a chance to marry her.
As for women, even knowing Hayden was a woman, many admirers found it difficult to let go of their admiration.
In Pedro’s view, Hayden was a disaster—charming both men and women.
“Ms. Queen, I know you’re very busy. It’s okay. Let’s have a meal together when we’re free,” Kathryn said understandingly.
Her relationship with Hayden was like a gentleman’s friendship—light but sincere.
“Sister Liberty and I are on the way to the hospital. I want to see you. Are you free now?”
Kathryn’s beautiful eyes sparkled slightly. “I’m lying in the hospital now, sleeping day and night. I can’t be more idle. You can come anytime. I’m free. Tell Liberty to go out less.”
Clarissa will not give up.
Hayden said, “Mr. Stone and Mr. York are here too.”
The Mr. York Hayden referred to wasn’t her husband but Zachary.
Kathryn glanced at Pedro.
Pedro hadn’t even told her that Zachary was here.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3509
Married At First Sight Chapter 3509-“When did Mr. York arrive?” Kathryn asked.
Hayden replied, “He got here not long ago. We heard you were in the hospital, so he came with us to see you.”
Zachary had told Serenity he was going on a business trip, but he had actually come to Jensburg. He planned to return to Wiltspoon only after assessing the situation in Jensburg and discussing the next steps with Liberty. It would take just two or three days. He couldn’t stay too long, fearing Serenity might find out.
Kathryn smiled, “Mr. York is very considerate.”
Strictly speaking, Kathryn was a few years younger than Zachary, but since she was Serenity’s aunt, she was Zachary’s elder. Zachary should call her aunt. It’s customary for the younger generation to visit their elders out of respect, even if everyone knows the underlying reasons.
If Kathryn hadn’t tipped off Liberty, the people in Wiltspoon wouldn’t be so friendly to her. Even if they were, they would remain wary of her. Kathryn understood this; if she were in their shoes, she wouldn’t handle things as well as the people in Wiltspoon.
“Then I’ll wait for you,” Kathryn said.
“Okay, see you later,” Hayden replied, ending the call.
Kathryn turned to Pedro, “Let’s eat quickly. Miss Queen and the others are on their way to the hospital. Did you know Zachary is here?”
Pedro responded, “I heard about it just now. Mr. York keeps a low profile when he arrives; I didn’t want to worry you.”
Kathryn was silent for a moment, then said, “Although my mom hasn’t made any moves, the more people from Wiltspoon come, the more nervous and worried I become. After all, she’s my biological mother. I still hope she’s well, but…”
Killing must be paid for with a life. Her mom had killed her aunt’s family and didn’t even spare her aunt. To climb to the top, her hands were stained with blood. After reaching the top, she didn’t treat her family well, causing dissatisfaction among everyone. Even though forty or fifty years had passed, the previous events might not sentence her mom to death, but they could ruin her reputation. Kathryn wasn’t on the same page as her mom and worried that when the day of reckoning came, her mom, who had been strong all her life, might choose an extreme way out.
Pedro said, “What is destined to happen will happen, and you can’t escape it.”
“I want to make amends for my mom, but it doesn’t work. She doesn’t want to make amends. I just want her to find peace,” Kathryn sighed again. “Let it be. I’ve done my best as a daughter.”
“Let’s eat,” she added, as Hayden and the others were coming, and Kathryn wouldn’t be able to eat once they arrived.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3510
Married At First Sight Chapter 3510-Meanwhile, at the Farrell family mansion, the atmosphere had been tense, with a particularly low air pressure. Everyone moved cautiously, not daring to make noise for fear of angering Clarissa.
Clarissa hadn’t returned to the company, staying at home instead. Sometimes she sat on the sofa in a daze; other times, she stayed in the study all day. The butler brought her meals to the study, but she ate very little. He wanted to persuade her but didn’t dare.
It was known that every time Mr. Dunn visited, Clarissa’s expression became more solemn. Some family members had been causing trouble lately, and Clarissa either ignored them or scolded them harshly, even having bodyguards teach them a lesson. This rough handling made her even more unpopular, deepening the resentment.
Mr. Dunn arrived again, and the butler invited him in, watching him go upstairs as if he owned the place. The butler sighed inwardly.
Holden, Clarissa’s husband, didn’t have such freedom, even though they had children together. Clarissa trusted Mr. Dunn more; he was her lifelong assistant. Holden had lost his status in Clarissa’s eyes due to his affair. If not for the children, they might have divorced.
Mr. Dunn went straight to the study, knocked on the door, and entered after Clarissa responded. Clarissa was practicing calligraphy.
Mr. Dunn observed her writing, “What are you working on?”
Clarissa replied, “My calligraphy.”
“Madam, you’re distracted, and it shows in your writing. You should stop and not waste the pen and ink.”
Mr. Dunn was the only one who could speak so frankly to Clarissa, and he was right. Clarissa was restless, her thoughts elsewhere. Her calligraphy was poor, wasting materials.
Clarissa’s face darkened, and she made a mistake with the last word. Frustrated, she threw the brush on the table, ruining a piece that took a long time to write. Mr. Dunn handed her a tissue to wipe her hands and cleaned up the mess. After a while, Clarissa sat on the sofa.
After tidying up, Mr. Dunn asked, “What’s the current situation?”
“The eldest young master of the York family is here. He arrived not long ago and is going to the hospital to visit the young lady.”
Clarissa was silent, then sarcastically said, “She betrayed her biological mother in exchange for someone else’s visit. Is it worth it? No matter how many bad things I’ve done, I am still her mother. Can’t she put aside morals and side with me? If it weren’t for her tip-off, our plan wouldn’t have failed. When I see her, I want to strangle her.”
She hated Shiloh’s biological father even more. If he hadn’t swapped the two children, Kathryn would have grown up under her care, becoming better than Liberty and Serenity, and more loyal.
Mr. Dunn knew Clarissa was harsh with everyone but could never be harsh with her only biological daughter. If the three young masters had done such a thing, they’d be dead by now. But the young lady was fine, only slapped twice by Shiloh.
Compared to losing her life, being slapped twice was nothing.
Mr. Dunn sighed, “The young lady’s values are set. It’s difficult to change them. Ma’am, if you want to succeed, either put the young lady and Pedro under house arrest or let the young lady continue to sleep, though that’s unlikely. Now, the young lady is guarding against you.”
Clarissa wanted to kill Kathryn, but she was her only daughter. If she had another daughter, she wouldn’t tolerate Kathryn’s betrayal.
“Is the gasoline ready?” Clarissa asked.
Mr. Dunn replied, “Yes, we are prepared. We’re waiting for Audrey and the others to come and confront you. When everyone is together, we can execute the plan.”
