Mrs. Marshall thought Serenity’s voice was pleasant. She held her hand in a friendly manner and complimented her. Serenity responded to everyone’s compliments with grace, which disappointed those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Some people thought Mrs. Stone was indeed good at teaching. Serenity had only attended a few banquets with Mrs. Stone, yet she had managed to train a country bumpkin into a graceful missus of a wealthy family. The York family of four went on to meet Old Mr. Marshall. After looking at Serenity for some time, Old Mr. Marshall did not say a word. However, he gave her a generous gift in front of everyone. He even told Zachary, “You two must live a happy life. Your nana won’t go wrong.”Zachary was soft toward Old Mr. Marshall. “Thank you, Old Mr. Marshall. I’ll cherish and love Seren a lot.”Old Mr. Marshall smiled kindly. He was much older than Old Mrs. York, and his energy could not compare to hers. He would only meet youngsters of higher

It turned out that Zachary had been using Serenity as an excuse for some time. No wonder he smelt nice and fresh when he came home recently. Of course, Serenity did not want Zachary to drink so much alcohol. His stomach had been unwell before, and she had spent time nursing him back to health. It would be better if he avoided drinking whenever he could. However, he deliberately created an image of him being bossed around by his wife…Zachary held onto Serenity’s waist. He scolded Josh with a smile and said to Jasmine, “You shouldn’t be laughing happily, Ms. Sox. Josh uses you as an excuse too.”Jasmine said, “I’m okay with it. He can use me as an excuse as much as he wants to as long as he’s healthy. You two are the same. Serenity and I have never been strict and given you guys enough freedom. You’re the ones labeling yourselves as men who’re afraid of their wives.” Serenity grinned. “They’re not even scared of being ridiculed.”“No one dares to laugh at me for being afraid

Otherwise, even Mrs. Stone would have wanted to bring Jasmine and her son together.Josh would have thought, ‘I was lucky that Zachary introduced me to Jasmine first.’Zachary deserved a reward for playing matchmaker. Elisa breathed a sigh of relief after getting away from the mothers. She complained that Serenity and Jasmine rescued her too late. “You’re exaggerating.”Serenity found it funny. She said, “You even used the word ‘rescue’.”“The ladies seemed easy going though.”Jasmine smiled and said, “Their gazes on you were so gentle.”Elisa shuddered. She said, “They were looking at me as if I was their daughter-in-law.”That statement made Serenity and Jasmine laugh. “Seren, look.”Elisa suddenly nudged Serenity and stuck her lips out in a direction. “What’s wrong?”Serenity and Jasmine looked in the direction Elisa indicated. Jasmine saw Duncan was with an unfamiliar woman. Serenity did not find anything unusual because she had seen Duncan and Lily before. She

Serenity asked Camryn softly, “Is she trying to arrange a marriage for you and some rich man’s son?”After pressing her lips together, Camryn replied softly, “She won’t let me get married to a rich man. She’ll only give me to someone else. She can give me to anyone who’ll benefit her.”Serenity was furious upon hearing that. Sensing her anger, Camryn smiled unexpectedly. She said, “Don’t worry. I can protect myself.” She had a small blade with her wherever she went. Serenity still wanted to say something, but Camryn poked her palm again. Therefore, she did not say anything else. Mrs. Newman chose a quiet and relatively remote spot. She gestured to Serenity to sit. “Do you want anything to eat, Mrs. York? I’ll take some food for you.”“No, thank you. You can talk about what you want, Mrs. Newman.”Mrs. Newman laughed sheepishly. She said, “Mrs. York, you and Camryn clicked right away and are friends. Carrie is Camryn’s biological sister. Can you not sue Carrie for Camryn’s s

Serenity used to see scenes of people being drugged and set up in novels or TV shows. She did not think that that would actually happen in real life. Moreover, it was a younger sister drugging her elder sister to ruin her life. After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “It’s not once or twice that she drugged me.”Serenity was speechless. “They’re treating you so poorly. You can move out.”The risk of living together with them was too huge. Camryn was silent again before saying angrily, “My father left me that house. Why do I have to move out? The people who are supposed to move out are them! They used to bully me for being a kid, and now they’re bullying me for being blind.”Serenity’s eyes gleamed. That was a lot of information. Zachary analyzed the situation for her before. Camryn’s biological father might have been killed. Camryn almost died from being gravely ill when she was sixteen years old, but no one in the Newman family sent her to the hospital. It was obvious tha
