Mr. Longbottom emphasized, “I’m not interested in petty revenge. But if you want to vent, my people can help you with that. As long as you follow and assist me, I won't mistreat you.
“Moreover, those who have wronged you, by that time, I can help you deal with them.”
Once he obtained the totem and became the true wielder of power, it would be his time to call the shots.
On that day, he would not even spare the York family a glance.
Except perhaps for the Bucham family.
“What exactly is your background?”
“I won’t tell you for now. You’ll know later. Anyway, if you stick with me, I guarantee you a life of luxury.”
With that, he caressed Carrie’s face.
“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave two people here to protect you. If anything happens, they’ll contact me. I have to go back. There’s too much to handle.”
After lightly patting Carrie’s thigh, Mr. Longbottom stood up, instructed two bodyguards to stay, and left Carrie’s rented place with the rest of his entourage.
Once they left, one of the bodyguards said, “Ms. Carrie, you can tell the landlord to terminate the lease and come with us. Mr. Longbottom has already bought you a villa and a new car. Starting today, you can move into the villa.”
“I won’t terminate the lease for now. It might still be useful.”
Carrie thought about her task of wearing the human skin mask, changing her face to approach Serenity, and gaining the trust of both Serenity and Sonny. Then, when Serenity, Mrs. Young-Johnson, and the children were reunited, she would hand over the boy to Mr. Longbottom.
If Carrie suddenly disappeared without a trace, the wise Zachary would surely inquire about her whereabouts. It would be better for her to keep the rented place. When she was not around Serenity, she could remove the human skin mask and appear as herself.
Carrie exited her room quietly accompanied by her two bodyguards.
Meanwhile, in Zachary’s Villa, two children surrounded a baby stroller as they played with the two little ones in the stroller.
“Chloe smiled!”
Sonny saw Chloe smiling at them and laughed. He told Laurence, “She only smiles at you, not at me.”
Ben came with Laurence early in the morning. He planned to have breakfast at Zachary’s place before heading over to Remy’s. Unexpectedly, Remy came and brought Jane and the two kids with him. The whole group ended up gathering at Zachary’s villa.
Once Chloe and Connor arrived, Sonny and Laurence stopped running around and started playing with the two little ones.
