Mr. Newman spoke in a concerned tone. When he noticed the state Camryn was in and how she hadlost her shoes, he turned to his wife and asked nicely, “Honey, could you take Camryn into the house?”
Then, he turned to Callum and made an inviting gesture, “Mr. York, please, come inside.”
Callum was planning to leave right after dropping Camryn off, but he promptly changed his mind. Hedecided to have a quick chat with Mr. Newman as a show of respect.
Several minutes later after Callum relayed what happened, Mr. Newman erupted with rage and cursedout loud, “Damned fool! All I did was give him a strong talking–to. I cannot believe he would turn aroundand do something like this and try to hurt my niece!”
He thanked Callum profusely, “Mr. York, you have my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for youshowing up at the right time, who knows what that nasty excuse of a bodyguard would have done toCamryn?”
The poor bodyguard took the fall.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged from Camryn’s room.
She felt an enormous swell of anguish deep in her heart.
Apart from having her dress ruined and losing a pair of high heels, Camryn was largely in one piece.There were minimal wounds on her body and hardly any noticeable bruises at all. Callum had savedher from being disgraced.
If she had known this would happen, she would have drugged Camryn at the banquet so she would nothave had the strength to resist.
The only reason she had not drugged Camryn was that the man said that he did not like his womenunconscious. She did not expect the man to be such an imbecile and could not even subdue a blindgirl.
Also, how did Callum manage to show up just in time to save the blind fool?
They were back to square one–what would happen to Carrie now?
Mrs. Newman was fuming but knew better than to let it show. She joined her husband and Callum andbegan expressing her gratitude toward Callum as well.
Camryn joined them after she changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on a pair of slippers.
Callum glanced at her and observed that she had returned to her usual stoic self. He grimaced andstayed silent.
She approached him and sat on the corner of the couch. She sat passively while she listened to hermother and stepfather yelling at the bodyguards.
Her stepfather prattled about wanting to call the police, but her mother stopped him from doing so,stating concerns about damaging Camryn’s reputation.
“Mr. Newman, Mrs. Newman, it’s getting late. I’ll be heading back first.”
The Newman couple were pretty good actors and Callum knew better than to call their bluff. He toldhimself that he would find out the identity of the degenerate who tried to take advantage of Camrynfirst. After he had ample proof, he would avenge poor Camryn.
He rose and announced solemnly, “Mr. Newman, Camryn is a good friend of my sister–in–law, shecares about Camryn very much.”
Mr. Newman spoke up frantically, “I understand. It is a great honor for me to say that my niece boasts agood relationship with Mrs. York. Truly, 1 thank you for Mrs. York looking out for her tonight andentrusting you with sending her home. I wouldn’t know what I’d do if something happened to Camryn. Iwould have failed my duties and failed her father as well.”
He said with a tight look of agitation screwed on his face.
“I will immediately assign a new female bodyguard to her starting tomorrow and take special care tokeep her safe at all times.”
Mr. Newman gave his word as he walked Callum out of the house.
Mrs. Newman followed behind the men.
Camryn did not see Callum off, but she did rise on his feet facing his direction as he left. After thesound of their footsteps had faded away, she retreated to her room, shut the door, and locked it. Thiswas the only way she felt safe.
After Callum was gone, Mr. Newman exchanged a look with his wife. Only then did the two head backinto the house.
They did not try to pester Camryn again and went upstairs silently instead. After returning to theirbedroom and ensuring the door was closed, Mrs. Newman addressed her husband rather sternly,” Idon’t agree with this decision you’ve made. I understand this is all done to save Carrie, but I cannotbear to see Camryn marrying into the Yorks.”
She would have chosen death rather than see such an arrangement play out.
She only wanted her darling Carrie to marry into the Yorks.
