Chapter 2694

Carrie’s face instantly turned ugly.

“Mr. Longbottom, are you asking me to be your mistress?”

She was only twenty years old, young and beautiful. With her background, marrying into a wealthy

family and becoming a young missus was entirely feasible.

This older man, even if well-preserved, should be around her father’s age, and yet he wanted her as

his mistress!

It was like an old man preying on a young girl.

Mr. Longbottom chuckled. “Ms. Carrie, you lack special skills and are unwilling to bow down to reality,

to work for a monthly income of a few thousand dollars. Tell me, how will you live? Relying on your

brother’s monthly allowance of five thousand dollars for your living expenses?”

Carrie was shocked.

How did this man know about her conversation with Trenton?

Did he have someone watching her, tracking her every encounter, every person she met, and the

words she spoke?

That would be terrifying.

Even Zachary would not be able to achieve such a level of surveillance.

“Besides being a little more attractive, young, and having a good figure, what else do you have?”

Mr. Longbottom’s gaze remained audacious as he looked at Carrie.

Carrie began to understand. The way Mr. Longbottom looked at her suggested that he regarded her as

his mistress, his plaything. No wonder his offers were generous—a villa, a new car, and a monthly

allowance of three hundred thousand—yet required her body in exchange.

She felt that he was indeed offering to support her, and it seemed he genuinely intended to do so.

Mr. Longbottom went to sit beside Carrie. His hand rested on her thigh, and he said, “Ms. Carrie, follow

me. Only by being with me will you have a backing and continue to live the luxurious life you used to

have.

“You can even take back everything from the Newman family. Don’t you want to see your sister at yournovelbin

feet? Don’t you want to have her husband wrapped around your fingers? Although our relationship is

monetarily motivated, if you could successfully seduce the young master of the Yorks, I will wish you

two the best.

“I won’t even come over often, and you won’t have to accompany me every day. At most, you’ll only

have to entertain me once a month, and you’ll benefit a lot from this exchange.

“To be frank, Ms. Carrie, if it weren’t for your hatred against Mrs. York, I wouldn’t even bother asking

you for help. Everyone else was afraid of the Yorks’ influence and wouldn’t dare touch Serenity.”

Carrie slapped away Mr. Longbottom’s hand, which was caressing her thigh, and quickly moved to the

side, creating some distance between them.

“Mr. Longbottom. Could our relationship be just purely business, like just for show?”

Carrie was tempted by the benefits, but she did not want to be a sleazy old man’s mistress.

Camryn was the missus of the York family, while she had to be someone else’s mistress. She found the

stark contrast unacceptable.

If the man wanted to make her his wife, she would have considered it.

Being someone’s mistress was where she drew the line.

Perhaps she would have found it tolerable if the man was younger and as handsome as the young

masters of the Yorks.

Mr. Longbottom chuckled. “I’ve offered you so many benefits, yet I feel like I’m not getting substantial

returns from you. It seems a bit unfair to me.”

Carrie placed the bag on the coffee table and said, “Well, I’m sorry, Mr. Longbottom. Seems like we

can’t come to an agreement. Please find someone else.”
