“Honey, you must think of a way to save Carrie. She has never been treated roughly before.” Mrs. Newman was worried about her younger daughter.
She had not even been that worried about her son, who was still in high school.
However, her son went to a boarding school and was in his senior year. He could only return home once a month, so she only had to transfer money to her son’s card. Her son was much more mature than her daughter, but she did not like that he was protective of his elder sister, Camryn.
Whenever Mrs. Newman’s son was at home, she had to be gentler toward Camryn to prevent her son from quarreling with her.
“Carrie is just in detention for fifteen days. She’ll be out when the days are up. We should be worried about Mrs. York suing her.”
Mr. Newman sighed. “We have to apologize to them.”
He was also anxious that his cherished daughter had caused trouble. However, unlike his wife who simply thought of getting their daughter out, he thought further ahead.
“It’s not like we haven’t already apologized. I even asked Camryn to go to Hunt’s store to beg for forgiveness. It’s useless. Hunt is intentionally getting Carrie into jail. I’m already heartbroken by the fifteen days of detention. If Hunt files a lawsuit and a sentence is given…”
Mrs. Newman’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Newman said, “If so, we can only hire the best lawyer for Carrie and fight for a light sentence. Carrie’s action might be counted as a criminal offense… You should refrain from doing anything for now.
“A child kidnapping occurred in Wiltspoon Zoo yesterday. Even Mrs. York’s nephew almost got kidnapped. This isn’t your doing, right?”
Mr. Newman understood his wife’s character. He reminded her, “Don’t act rashly. Think about our daughter. This is Wiltspoon. This territory belongs to the Yorks, Stones, and Buchams. There’s also the Lewis family. If those four wealthy families work together, you won’t even stand a chance.”
Mrs. Newman wiped her tears and said, “I’m not in the mood to do anything right now. I just want to get my daughter out.”
“It’s best that you don’t do anything behind my back. If you did, you have to inform me so that it’s easier for me to deal with the aftermath. Be extra careful whenever you head out too. The Bucham family excels in collecting information. Zachary might have already sent the Buchams’ people to keep an eye on us.”
Mr. Newman was more aware of the four wealthy families’ power compared to Mrs. Newman.
“Got it.”
Mrs. Newman promised.
Camryn did not know what her stepfather and mother discussed after she left. She exited the villa with an umbrella and walked toward the gates slowly.
