Married At First Sight Chapter 3781 Chapter 3781 From that moment on, Mr. Labbe no longer had to worry that his hard work and efforts would benefit others. He would become the true head of the family, with a legitimate claim to the position. He would have absolute control over the Labbe family and the Labbe Group, without being restrained by anyone. “I’m not asking you to finish the job before the New Year,” Mr. Labbe said, “but I want you to put in more effort. Stop stirring up trouble with your older sister, Camryn. Your real focus should be on Serenity and Sonny, not Camryn.” He continued harshly, “No matter what you do, you’re still not on the same level as Camryn. That’s just the truth. Apart from being a few years younger than her, you really have nothing on Camryn. And honestly, you don’t even measure up to your brother Trenton.” Among the three Newman siblings, Carrie was the least capable. But precisely because of her shortcomings, Mr. Labbe found her easy to manipulate. People like Camryn and Trenton were much harder to control. Trenton was a man, and Mr. Labbe preferred to use someone close to Serenity, so Trenton was out of the question. Camryn, even when she was blind, was a shrewd and cunning person who was difficult to manipulate. Now that her vision had been restored and with Callum by her side, using her was even more impossible. Though Mr. Labbe didn’t fear the York family, he had no desire to make them his enemy. Provoking the Yorks would mean facing several powerful opponents at once. In Wiltspoon, the leading families were allied with the Yorks. Mr. Labbe’s influence was far greater in Havenmill, X Province, but he had limited connections in Wiltspoon. Carrie was the only pawn he had at his disposal—plainly visible, and frankly, not very competent. His hidden allies in Wiltspoon were reluctant to confront the Yorks unless absolutely necessary.

Carrie silently questioned why Mr. Labbe would even choose her if he thought so little of her. Did he think she willingly agreed to be his pawn? Did she want to be manipulated and humiliated by him? She was carrying his child but couldn’t keep it, forced to terminate the pregnancy. For a young woman, everything Mr. Labbe had done to her was devastating. But Carrie endured it all because she feared for her life and needed money. She had no choice but to submit to Mr. Labbe’s intimidation and the lure of his wealth. After everything she’d been through, Carrie decided that money was the most important thing. “Mr. Labbe, I really am doing my best,” she said, though she only dared to voice her frustration inwardly. She was too scared to openly challenge him, knowing he could easily take her life. Without her sister’s support, Carrie felt completely vulnerable—like a pawn that Mr. Labbe could dispose of at any moment. The loss of her parents’ protection had left her in a worse state than ever. Realizing this made Carrie long to see her parents again. The last time she visited them in prison, she angrily accused them of favoritism, of transferring all their wealth to her brother while leaving her with nothing. She hadn’t gone to see them since. Now, she missed their kindness. Whether their favoritism was genuine or not, they had shielded her from the harshness of life, and she’d never felt truly wronged—except for that one time when she’d embarrassed herself in front of Serenity at a banquet. Mr. Labbe’s voice cut through her thoughts, “You might not be able to go directly to the Johnsons’ house, but you could take a trip nearby. When Serenity brings Sonny to visit, you should ‘coincidentally’ run into them there.” Carrie fell silent.
