“I’ll take note of everything you mentioned, Mr. Longbottom.”
Carrie knew that Camryn would be wary ever since she saw her.
Even if Serenity could not find any clues, Camryn would.
They were biological sisters, after all.
Camryn knew Carrie well, but the opposite was not true. That was why Camryn was able to trample over Carrie.
Carrie feared that Trenton would not help her.
She did not know what her younger brother was thinking.
Trenton would not take her side. Meanwhile, Amy and Brenda had left Wiltspoon with her cousins. She was clueless as to where they went.
Carrie had no one to rely on. That was also why Mr. Longbottom chose her to become his pawn. She even became his mistress.
Mr. Longbottom took two pieces of paper from a drawer and handed them to Carrie. He said, “Read these and memorize everything on them. That way, nothing will go wrong during the banquet tomorrow night. You won’t make anyone suspect you.”
Carrie accepted the papers. There were unfamiliar names of people and companies, along with the businesses they were involved in.
The papers were filled with words.
“Do I have to remember everything?”
Carrie understood that Mr. Longbottom was setting up connections for her. Those people and companies actually existed in Wiltspoon.
It would be her first time attending a banquet as Mrs. Longbottom.
When people asked what business her husband did, she had to say something to avoid being suspicious.
Wiltspoon was huge. Aside from a few wealthy families, there were also many nouveau riches and countless small companies.
Not everyone knew the head of each company.
As long as Carrie could say something, everyone would believe that her family ran a business.
Mr. Longbottom patted her face. He smiled and said, “I knew you were an obedient one.”
She was young and pretty yet naive. She was also vicious and arrogant.
After living in prison for some time, she did lie low for a while once she got out.
However, she showed her true colors not long after.
Old habits died hard.
He could easily control her just by giving her a little scare.
Carrie was more manageable than his other mistresses. She did not even spend as much as they did.
Carrie’s expenses were considered the lowest out of his many mistresses.
If only Carrie knew Mr. Longbottom’s thoughts, she would have spent his money without restraint.
