Serenity had reported the issue to the police. She would let the police handle it rather than privately asking for compensation from the Newmans.
If the Newmans gave her a new car as compensation for her damaged car, she would accept it. However, she would only accept a new car of the same brand.
Serenity bought the car in the fall of last year. She had driven it for less than half a year.
Camryn silently shoved the card into her pocket.
Serenity went quiet for a moment. Then, she asked Camryn in a more relaxed tone, “Ms. Newman, if I insist on pressing charges against Carrie, will you be able to survive in the Newmans’ house?”
“I’ll have a rough time, but that’s how I’ve always been living in that house. Whether or not you press charges against Carrie, they’ll treat me with the same attitude.”
Camryn added calmly, “Mrs. York, you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to take me into consideration. After all, the incident started all because of me. You did that to Carrie just because you wanted to help and save me. It was Carrie’s fault to hire people to destroy the car and cause injuries. She deserves to be punished. If I beg for mercy on her behalf, I’ll be indebted to you.
“Besides my aunt, it had been a decade since someone like her had helped me this way.”
Camryn would rather have a row with Mrs. Newman than beg Serenity not to charge Carrie.
Camryn’s last sentence caused Serenity so much heartache.
Camryn was born into a wealthy family, so what? Her biological father passed away early, whereas her biological mother did not treat her as a daughter and was more vicious than a stepmother.
After shaking Camryn’s hand, Serenity said, “Ms. Newman, I feel that I can hit it off with you. I’m keen on being your friend. If you need any help in the future, feel free to let me know. I’ll try my best to help you. Even if I can’t, I’ll get someone to do so.”
Indeed, Callum was able to keep his cool. He did not move a muscle for a long time.
If Serenity were a man, she would have wrapped Camryn into her arms and stopped anyone from bullying Camryn.
“Thank you, Mrs. York.”
