Female Novel
Chapter 2697
Mr. Longbottom emphasized, “I’m not interested in petty revenge. But if you want to vent, my people
can help you with that. As long as you follow and assist me, I won't mistreat you.
“Moreover, those who have wronged you, by that time, I can help you deal with them.”
Once he obtained the totem and became the true wielder of power, it would be his time to call the
shots.
On that day, he would not even spare the York family a glance.
Except perhaps for the Bucham family.
“What exactly is your background?”
“I won’t tell you for now. You’ll know later. Anyway, if you stick with me, I guarantee you a life of luxury.”
With that, he caressed Carrie’s face.
“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave two people here to protect you. If anything happens,
they’ll contact me. I have to go back. There’s too much to handle.”
After lightly patting Carrie’s thigh, Mr. Longbottom stood up, instructed two bodyguards to stay, and left
Carrie’s rented place with the rest of his entourage.
Once they left, one of the bodyguards said, “Ms. Carrie, you can tell the landlord to terminate the lease
and come with us. Mr. Longbottom has already bought you a villa and a new car. Starting today, you
can move into the villa.”
“I won’t terminate the lease for now. It might still be useful.”
Carrie thought about her task of wearing the human skin mask, changing her face to approach
Serenity, and gaining the trust of both Serenity and Sonny. Then, when Serenity, Mrs. Young-Johnson,
and the children were reunited, she would hand over the boy to Mr. Longbottom.
If Carrie suddenly disappeared without a trace, the wise Zachary would surely inquire about her
whereabouts. It would be better for her to keep the rented place. When she was not around Serenity,
she could remove the human skin mask and appear as herself.
That way, everyone would know that Carrie was still active in Wiltspoon and had not disappeared. Even
if a new face appeared around Serenity, she would be less likely to be suspected.
It was still unknown what name would Mr. Longbottom give her for her new identity.
The two bodyguards were not fools. As soon as Carrie said that they understood what she meant
immediately.
“Then we’ll do as you say. Mr. Longbottom instructed us to call you Mrs. Longbottom in public. As
you’re going to be approaching people from prestigious families, you won’t be able to mingle with them
if you assume the role of Mr. Longbottom’s mistress.”
Carrie’s expression improved significantly. “That’s more like it.”
Mr. Longbottom was not from Wiltspoon. Even if she was his mistress, being able to appear as Mrs.
Longbottom while in Wiltspoon made her feel more deserving of her status as a young lady of the
Newmans.
His background was unclear, but leaving the house with so many bodyguards and having a ruthless
demeanor suggested he was likely a formidable figure not to be trifled with.
Now that they were on the same boat, she planned to gradually win him over. Through mutual benefit,
she envisioned becoming the true Mrs. Longbottom, not confined to being one only in Wiltspoon.
Carrie exited her room quietly accompanied by her two bodyguards.novelbin
Meanwhile, in Zachary’s Villa, two children surrounded a baby stroller as they played with the two little
ones in the stroller.
“Chloe smiled!”
Sonny saw Chloe smiling at them and laughed. He told Laurence, “She only smiles at you, not at me.”
Ben came with Laurence early in the morning. He planned to have breakfast at Zachary’s place before
heading over to Remy’s. Unexpectedly, Remy came and brought Jane and the two kids with him. The
whole group ended up gathering at Zachary’s villa.
Once Chloe and Connor arrived, Sonny and Laurence stopped running around and started playing with
the two little ones.
