Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

"Ms. Carrie had been on a long vacation for most of the year, and she had just returned today. When she got back, she found no one at home, so she came over here to get the keys from her sister to unlock

the door."

He crafted a little lie.

Carrie preferred to keep her imprisonment a secret. When she was imprisoned, only the upper echelons of society were aware, and ordinary people would not have followed the details of Carrie's time in jail. That was why Derrick fabricated this story.

The two security guards exchanged a glance.

Ms. Camryn's younger sister?

They had not heard about Camryn having a sister.

They had seen Camryn's brother and cousins, but they did not match the appearance of the two men standing before them.

These guards knew that Camryn had three aunts, but their relationships were not amicable. The two elder aunts had a poor relationship with Camryn and were not well-received, so they were never invited to the estate. Only Aunt Evelyn's family had visited Wildridge Manor and were treated as esteemed guests.

"Please wait a moment, I'll call the butler to have him ask Camryn," said one of the men before heading to the security room.

The other guard brought three chairs and offered them to Carrie and her companions.

Though these guards were accommodating, Carrie was still dissatisfied. She chose not to sit and said, "No need for all this trouble. I'll just head inside and find Camryn... my sister. I've been away from home for almost half a year, and when I got out, oh, I mean, when I got back, I discovered that she had gotten engaged to Callum. I was completely unaware.

"Since I'm here, I should meet my in-laws, especially my future brother-in-law."

Not only did Carrie want to compete with Camryn for the family's wealth, but she also aimed to sabotage Camryn and Callum's relationship. She thought herself better than Camryn by a mile. She was young, had a nice face and figure, and most importantly, she was not blind.

She was confident when she met Callum later, he would not be able to take his eyes off her.

That bitch Camryn might have some allure, but she was still blind. Moreover, her figure was not as sexy as Carrie's and was almost as flat as a cutting board, perhaps a little better.

Unlike Carrie, who was beautiful all around.

The security guard politely said, "Forgive us, Ms. Carrie, but we've never heard about Ms. Camryn having a sister. So, we need to check with the butler and get Ms. Camryn's consent before allowing you inside."

Ms. Camryn was not someone anyone could meet just by sheer will. Her consent was required for a meeting with her.

There were guests in the manor.

Liberty had come to visit. Duncan and Josh were also at the manor. These three visitors, on the other hand, did not appear to be of good character. If they turn out to be troublemakers, granting them entry without proper inquiry would be negligence of duty, which could lead to a reduction in their bonuses.

Their monthly bonuses were even higher than their base salaries.

Carrie was about to say something but was stopped by Edward.

Edward had a stern expression on his face. Being more knowledgeable than Carrie, he understood that they should not act recklessly at the York family's residence.
