Chapter 782:
And yet, Carrie, a girl from a humble background, had effortlessly entered the family, gaining not just recognition
but the adoration of the Morrison men. Even Jenesis Morrison, known for her arrogance, had a soft spot for
Carrie.
Most of the women here cfrom distinguished lineages, trained in the fine arts since childhood, educated in
prestigious universities. In every measurable way, they believed they surpassed Carrie—except in luck.
Though Carrie had Morrison blood, she wasn’t a direct heir. Luca Morrison was in power, not Josh. And Carrie, at
