That was why business on her online store improved.“I finished the plan and just discussed it with Jasmine. Have a look.”Elisa took out the plan she spent the night making from her bag and handed it to Serenity to read. “I’m also a rookie, but there are three of us. Three heads are better than one. Let’s work hard and make money together.“Stop that for now, Seren. Don’t work while you’re reading, or you might hurt your hand again.”Elisa took Serenity to the hospital the last time the latter hurt her hand. Her legs had gone weak when she saw the blood. The fearless Ms. Stone was afraid of blood.“That time was an accident.”Serenity did not admit that she was injured because of Zachary, but she still stopped weaving the craft and took the plan made by Elisa. She read it carefully and discussed it with her two friends from time to time.“I haven’t shown this plan to Clive yet. I figured we have to experience it ourselves. We can’t rely on others for everything.”“I think the

Serenity thought about Zachary and herself. It seemed like she rarely coaxed him.When she saw how easily Josh became elated when Jasmine coaxed him, she thought, ‘I’ll buy Zachary a gift when I bring dinner to him later. I’m sure it’ll make him happy.’“Jasmine, what are we eating tonight?” Serenity asked.Jasmine said, “Liberty treated us to lunch earlier, so I didn’t buy any groceries. What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it now.”“You have dinner plans, and I have to send dinner to my husband too. His stomach is unwell, but he has a dinner party. I’m worried his stomach will hurt more if he drinks on an empty stomach. You guys chat. I’ll buy some food and come back.”Jasmine and Elisa hummed.After Serenity left, Elisa said enviously, “I envy Seren. It’s not easy for Zachary and her to become an ordinary couple. Zachary is arrogant, but Seren can make him break his character for her.”“When Mr. York came over in the past, he was like an ice sculpture. The students become timid

“We’re also relieved after hearing that it’s Zachary taking care of you at home. I was really worried that you’d be too timid and take care of all the household chores, then end up living like how Liberty was in the past.”Serenity paused her movement before continuing, “I learned from my sister’s experience. I won’t live a life like hers.”“It’s good to stay aware at all times. I’ve seen many people who lose sight of themselves when they’re in love.”Elisa’s phone rang as soon as she finished. It was from the only friend she had before she met Serenity. She answered the call and said, “Seren, my best friend just broke up. I’m going to go see her.”“Okay. Drive slowly.”“I’ll arrange for someone to go to your hometown to talk to the village chief about contracting the fields tomorrow. I’ll also help find out what those relatives of yours are up to these days.”“Sure.”Jasmine and Serenity let Elisa take the lead for the investment project. With Elisa’s background, she grew up in

“Do you own this parking space? Is your car the only one that can park here?”Serenity also had a problem with Carrie, so she did not budge an inch.She did not have a good impression of Carrie at all.Carrie choked and said loudly, “This is the front of Camryn’s store. I’m her sister, so I naturally should be able to park here.”“Oh, so you’re also fully aware that Ms. Camryn is your sister? What did you do to your sister on the night of the Dowling family’s banquet?”Carrie was spoiled by her parents and was used to bullying Camryn for fun. She said righteously, “That mole rat is just for me to make fun of!”Serenity really wanted to teach her a lesson.How could there be a sister like that?No, she should say that it was Mr. and Mrs. Newman who did not educate their daughter well.Camryn was not born blind. She became blind because of a serious illness she contracted when she was sixteen. However, Mrs. Newman was cruel and did not care about her, and Mr. Newman was so busy

“Carrie Newman!”Camryn, who was manning the store inside, heard the argument at the entrance and slowly walked out with her white cane.Serenity looked at her and saw that she was the same as that night. She wore large black sunglasses so that her eyes were hidden, and her stunning face was still as expressionless as that night.“What are you screaming at?”Camryn was totally familiar with her own territory. When she heard the sound of two people quarreling, she determined their positions and walked up to Serenity, asking warmly, “Are you Mrs. York?”“What Mrs. York? That’s just a hillbilly. Don’t bother flattering her, mole rat. Just you wait. A country bumpkin like her will be chased out of the York family soon. I don’t believe that Mr. York actually likes a country bumpkin like her.Carrie hated it when others called Serenity Mrs. York. She did not dare go after Zachary because of his cold nature, but she was ambitious and wanted to marry into the York family too.There were

While Carrie was young and insolent, it was not like she did not know better. Her mind flew back to her plan being foiled by Serenity at the Dowlings’ party. She was manhandled by Serenity and forced to drink the drugged alcohol by Elisa. The drug overtook her sanity and drove her to take her clothes off at the Dowlings’ residence. Carrie’s mother jumped into action and brought her home in haste. Carried had to bathe in ice-cold water to regain her consciousness. However, the same cold bath spiked her fever. Her parents were heartbroken for her. Nevertheless, they did nothing to demand justice for her. This was because the country bumpkin had Mr. York by her side. Her father explained to Carrie that although the Newmans did not operate their business in Wiltspoon, they were not to cross Mr. York. York Corporation had business dealings across major cities, and the bad blood may provoke York Corporation to steal the Newmans’ business. Newman Enterprise would suffer as a conse

Camryn uttered with a smile, “I’ll arrange something for you since you trust me.” Putting her cane aside, Camryn began to design a floral bouquet for Serenity. Serenity watched Carmyn handle the task with ease and asked, “Ms. Newman, do you memorize the placing of each type of flower here?” While pairing flowers together, Camryn replied, “I have to since I can’t see. I hired some employees to separate the flowers every time the stock comes in. They’ll tell me where each type of flower is placed. “My flower shop has been around for a few years now, so I had a lot of time to memorize everything. I think I’m on top of it.” Looking into Camryn’s eyes, Serenity probed, “Is there any way you can see again, Ms. Newman?” With her smile fading, Camryn answered, “I lost my sight from an illness. I was lucky to even survive. I’m fine without my sight. I’m just grateful to be alive.” Due to the sudden blindness, she nearly lost her life to depression and insanity. Nevertheless, she

Serenity would not take no for an answer as she put the two hundred bucks in Camryn’s palm. Camryn felt the money with her fingers before pulling one bill and giving it back to Serenity. She said, “If you insist, I’ll take half the money.” Since the girls were not close yet, Serenity relented and took back a hundred-dollar bill from Camryn before replying with a grin, “Thank you, Ms. Newman. Your flowers here are beautiful. I’ll be sure to come back for more.” Camryn beamed. “You’re always welcome. You can call me in advance if you need anything. Just let me know who it is for, and I’ll have the flowers picked out and wrapped up. You can come and collect without waiting.” Turning on her heel, she went to the cash register. Camryn held onto the table as she got behind the cash register and pulled the drawer to get a box of business cards. She retrieved a business card before making her way back to Serenity. “This is my business card, Mrs. York.” Serenity drew close and took th
