Married At First Sight Chapter 3990 Chapter 3990noveldrama

Carrie tried to gather some information about Mr. Labbe's recent activities through her two bodyguards. It seemed Mr. Labbe had set his sights on someone new and was busy trying to charm his latest love interest.

It hadn't been long since Mr. Labbe first claimed her as his own, yet he already seemed bored and had moved on to someone else.

If she wasn't still of use to him, Mr. Labbe might have discarded her entirely and stopped giving her the pocket money she relied on.

Fully aware that it was only a matter of time before she was completely abandoned, Carrie had started saving money. Her plan was to bide her time until she completed the task Mr. Labbe had assigned her. Once that was done, she would take her savings, leave Wiltspoon, and disappear to a place where no one knew her.

With that money, she planned to buy a house, a car, and open two shops to provide a steady income. She envisioned starting fresh, finding a handsome man to marry, having children, and building a good life for herself.

Of course, there was also the Newman family's property. Carrie was determined to return someday to claim what she believed was rightfully hers. If she couldn't get all of it, she'd settle for at least a third. Camryn wouldn't get away with everything.

Carrie's hand unconsciously moved to her belly. The child she had aborted was her first pregnancy. Since the abortion, she often found herself gazing at other people's children, wondering what might have been. If she had kept her baby, it would have been born this year, a child connected to her by blood.

But that dream was gone, and in Carrie's mind, there was only one person to blame: Serenity.

Carrie's hatred for Serenity burned deeply. She was convinced that if Serenity hadn't interfered by helping Camryn, none of the subsequent events would have unfolded.

Everything had spiraled out of control after that. Her parents ended up in prison. The man she'd once planned to marry became her brother-in-law, wedding the blind Camryn instead. Blind Camryn.

Now Camryn was far better off, having married into the York family as their second young lady. She had received treatment from a miracle doctor, regained her sight after being blind for ten years, and gained control of the entire Newman family's assets. Meanwhile, Carrie had been left with nothing.

Camryn now held the Newman family's property firmly in her grasp. Even the money that had been in her parents' possession had been transferred to her younger brother-on Camryn's advice. Then her foolish parents handed the money over to her brother, who promptly entrusted it all to Camryn.

Carrie shook her head, forcing herself not to dwell on the past. She knew that if she let her hatred for Serenity consume her, she might slip and reveal her true feelings, alerting the wrong people.

If Mr. Labbe caught wind of her bitterness, there would be dire consequences.

"Mrs. Labbe, you're still young. If you take care of yourself, you can get pregnant again in the future," Serenity said calmly.

Carrie's flash of hatred hadn't gone unnoticed by Serenity. Although Carrie quickly masked her emotions, Serenity caught the fleeting look of resentment.

Both Serenity and Camryn were well aware of Carrie's animosity toward them.

Carrie forced a smile and replied, "Yes, I'll focus on taking care of myself first. When my sister-in-law starts elementary school and isn't so attached to me, my husband and I can think about trying for a baby. We're still young, after all."

She made sure to follow Serenity's comforting words with a response that sounded agreeable.

The little girl she was holding tugged at her arm impatiently. "Sister-in-law, we're going to be late," the girl said.

Carrie glanced at Serenity and Zachary, then said with a polite smile, "Mrs. and Mr.

York, I'll take her in first. Let's have dinner sometime when I'm free."

Carrie asked the little girl to wave goodbye to Serenity and Zachary, then walked her into the building.

Once Carrie and the little girl were out of sight, Serenity turned to look at them one last time before walking toward the car with Zachary.

"I wonder where she found that child to play along with her act," Serenity said softly as they walked.

Her tone carried a trace of mockery.

"She's quite convincing," Serenity added. "I have to admit, Carrie's matured a lot since her time in prison. She's learned how to be patient."
