Married at First Sight

Camryn was blind for ten years, and no one expected her to regain her sight one day. It was truly a matter of life and death.

Carrie's questioning left the stand-in speechless. She was just a stand-in, and even Carrie, the real owner, couldn't marry into the York family.

Moreover, Carrie had offended Callum, eliminating her chance of entering the York family.

With regret, she said, "I was hoping to take advantage of Serenity's good fortune and become a young lady in the York family. I guess I was dreaming."

Carrie smiled, "It's understandable. Any girl who has seen any young master of the York family would be tempted. But unfortunately, they're not normal. While most people develop romantic interests with age, they remain detached. When it's time to marry, the old lady arranges everything, and they obediently pursue their assigned wives. Everyone respects the old lady."

Carrie didn't know if her last statement was a compliment or sarcasm, but it was likely a mix of resentment, hatred, and jealousy.

"You suffered on my behalf and took a few slaps. I told Mr. Labbe, and he will compensate you. Name your price. How much should you get for each slap? I'll transfer the money to you now."

Carrie's words brought the stand-in back to reality. She still had a chance to covet the York family men, as Mr. Labbe promised she could marry any young master after completing her work. But the stand-in was just that—a stand-in.

The stand-in said, "Of course. I'm just an actor. There's no reason for me to be beaten. You can give me $1,000 per slap. Was it three or four slaps? Maybe five or six? I lost count after the beating. Anyway, it wasText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

around five or six, or maybe seven or eight."

Carrie replied, "You're exaggerating. Okay, I'll give you $5,000."

She didn't haggle with the stand-in and transferred $5,000.

The stand-in happily accepted the money. Although the slaps hurt, each one earned her more than $1,000. She could endure a few more.

Normally, she played minor roles in

film and television. If lucky, she

might get a bit part and earn some

living expenses and pocket money for the day.

As an actress she dreamed of becoming a leading lady someday, using her beauty and acting skills. But in the film and television industry, beauty was common. Her looks were just average there not standout.

Being Carrie's stand-in paid well, especially with compensation for being beaten. It was much more lucrative than being an extra.
