Love at First Novel

Chapter 3735



Chapter 3735 - Mr. Labbe's face changed, and he warned Carrie coldly not to ask questions she shouldn't. He made it clear that knowing too much could shorten her life.

Carrie was terrified and didn't dare to ask any more questions, though her suspicions grew. She was afraid Mr. Labbe might strangle her again. The fear of him killing her was overwhelming.

"It's fine, I was just asking because I haven't seen her in a while," Carrie said, trying to play it off casually.

She couldn't admit she was there looking for Serenity-Jasmine might get suspicious. Serenity's friends were all sharp and not easily fooled. Jasmine replied, "Seren's been busy with work. I hardly see her either."

Carrie knew Jasmine was lying and that Serenity's friends didn't trust her, which frustrated her. Despite working for months to gain Serenity's trust, on Mr. Labbe's orders, she hadn't succeeded in becoming her friend.

But thinking about how Jasmine and Serenity had been classmates for over ten years, Carrie regained some confidence. She believed with time, she could fit into their social circle. However, she worried that Mr. Labbe wouldn't be patient enough.

It irritated her. Why was it so hard to get close to Serenity? She had even used a double in front of Camryn, and Camryn hadn't noticed. Didn't that prove she and Mrs. Labbe were different people?

Carrie kept these complaints to herself. She was more mature now, though still impulsive at times. Mr. Labbe's threats had scared her into being more cautious.

She knew Mr. Labbe wasn't bluffing-he would kill her if she failed.

"Mrs. York is pregnant and still working hard. She's a strong woman, truly admirable," Carrie said with a smile, complimenting Serenity.

"Seren's always been ambitious," Jasmine replied. "When we worked together in the store, she never took a break. She was always making handicrafts to sell online."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Carrie was aware of Serenity's past. She had once been poor, losing her parents and relying on her sister, Liberty. Liberty's ex-husband's family resented Serenity for living with them.

Carrie used to think Serenity was out of line for staying with her married sister, but now she understood something when a man cheats and falls out of love with his wife, he not only grows impatient with her but also with her family. Because Hank no longer loved Liberty, he began to resent Serenity too.

The failure of Liberty and Hank's marriage was Hank's fault. When they first married, Liberty had been upfront about Serenity living with them, and Hank had agreed. But when his love for Liberty faded and he cheated, he grew irritated by Serenity's presence and also became dissatisfied with Liberty.

In reality, Serenity paid for her own food and helped around the house, even taking care of the children. Nowadays, hiring a nanny costs thousands, but Serenity did it all for free. Yet, Hank still looked down on her.

If Serenity didn't care so much for her sister, why would she stay? Hank was the one in the wrong—not Liberty or Serenity.
