Chapter 1325
Married at First Sight
Knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
Mr. Newman asked outside the door, âHoney, are you ready? Hurry up. Weâre going to be late.â
Mrs. Newman gave up on trying to punish Camryn again. After all, the plan tonight was to sell Camryn.
If she punished her daughter too badly, she would not be able to sell her at a good price since others would not like her.
âWeâre ready.â
Mrs. Newman said to Camryn, âGet out!â
Camryn reached for her cane and was just about to walk when her cane was snatched from her hands by her mother. Mrs. Newman tossed the cane aside and said, âYou donât need a walking stick when attending a banquet.
âJust follow me.â
Mrs. Newman knew that Camryn could follow along so long as Camryn could hear her voice and footsteps.
Camryn fell silent and quietly followed Mrs. Newman out of the room.
Mr. Newman waited impatiently at the room door. When he saw the mother and daughter come out, his eyes lit up. He looked at his stepdaughter for a long time before saying, âCamryn really is getting more beautiful. She takes after both you and her father.â
Every time he saw Camryn, it was like he was looking at his younger brother.
Fortunately, Camryn did not completely take after his younger brother, otherwise he would not even want to see her.
Mrs. Newman glared at Camryn for a moment and said in contempt, âMy Carrie is more beautiful.â
Then, she stepped forward, took her husbandâs arm, and said, âLetâs go. The banquet is about to start.â
âThe banquet starts around this time, but thereâs no need to rush. The climax of the banquet is when Mr. York arrives. Even if we go now, Mr. York wonât be there yet.â
At the mention of Zachary, Mrs. Newman remembered Serenity and felt anger bubbling in her stomach.
She turned her head and scolded Camryn, who was slowly walking down the stairs,â Canât you move faster?
âYouâre so slow no matter what you do. How is a person like you able to earn money and feed yourself?â
Camryn ignored her.
She grabbed the handrail and took her time.
Mrs. Newman was enraged. No matter how she scolded Camryn, Camryn paid no mind to her. It was like she was punching cottonâher dissatisfaction only increased.
If not for the fact that she had to take this mole rat out to attend the banquet tonight, she wanted to go behind Camryn and kick her down.
âCamryn canât see, so she has to walk slowly when going down the stairs. What if she slips and hurts her face?
âCome on, donât be angry.â
Mr. Newman admonished his wife and said gently to Camryn, âCamryn, your mother is just short-
tempered. Donât take it to heart. Take your time. Weâll wait for you outside.â
Camryn remained silent.
Mr. Newman was used to his nieceâs reticence.
Camryn did not like to talk at home. What could she say? No one treated her like a human here.
