Chapter 1319
Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”It was not like Lily had no other suitors.Duncan was silent.“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”“No.”Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once-fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.Why did he suddenly think of her now?He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll t

Liberty said that there was no need to force herself if she could not meld into the social circle.When it was time, she could step into the circle naturally without deliberately trying to.Zachary appreciated that part about his sister-in-law.She knew her place but did not put herself down.“Am I wearing this? I don’t think it looks good.”Serenity looked at the gown Zachary picked out for her and felt that there was something odd about it. However, she could not pinpoint what it was.“It’s good, it’s very good. You have a good figure, good looks, and a great mien. You’ll look good in anything.”Serenity held the gown and said, “I’ll go pick one myself.”All the clothes in the cloakroom were prepared by Zachary. There were so many different evening gowns that she could open up a dress store.When Serenity chose her dresses, she only cared if they looked good and did not bother picking the ones that covered the most skin. As a result, every gown she picked was rejected by Zac

“I’ll help you with your makeup, honey.”Serenity complied with his wishes and changed into the most conservative dress in her wardrobe. Zachary volunteered to help his wife with her makeup again.Serenity refused without even thinking about it.“I still care about my appearance.”Her words made Zachary’s mouth flap several times without saying anything.His reaction amused Serenity, and she asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do makeup? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re going to paint my face like a ghost so no one will look at me.”Zachary was speechless. “I’ve never helped a woman with her makeup before, but I wouldn’t make you look like a ghost to scare people.”“Forget it, I can’t trust you. I’ll do it myself. Go and get yourself ready. We’ll be heading out soon.”Zachary refused to leave and said, “I don’t have anything to prepare. I just need to change into a suit, switch my home slippers for leather shoes, and the finishing touch will be you help

Serenity could not stand his constant nagging.Zachary’s thin lips pursed as he complained, “Honey, why are you so mean to me? You’re annoyed with me.”Serenity wanted to kick him out. “If you don’t go out, I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight.”Zachary turned around and walked out, muttering pitifully, “My wife is annoyed with me, my wife is annoyed with me...”Serenity was speechless.She did not know whether to laugh or cry when it came to this man.Her body and soul already belonged to him—what did he have to worry about?Two minutes later, Zachary sat across from his parents.He looked at his father, who was decked out in a white suit, and said, “Dad, why are you wearing a white suit at your age? Are you trying to compare with me?”Liam said, “What’s that tone? Am I that old? I take care of my appearance. Your mom says we look like brothers if we stand together, not father and son. Your mom says I look dreamy dressed in a white suit, like Prince Charming in fairy tales.

“Yes, my wife trained me well.”Liam opened his mouth but did not know what to say.His son was even more henpecked than he was.While the father and son chatted, the noblest pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Wiltspoon descended the stairs.Zachary recognized at a glance that the jewelry Serenity was wearing was not from him. He knew that his mother gave it to her deliberately without having to ask.Indeed, Tania went upstairs to see her daughter-in-law put on makeup just to give her the set of jewelry stuffed in her bag to her daughter-in-law.In her words, the jewelry set was too bright for someone of her age, so it was more suitable for Serenity.Tania was born and raised in a wealthy family and received a lot of jewelry since she was a child. After she married into the York family, she was deeply favored by her husband, who also gave her a lot of jewelry. Her mother-in-law also presented her with several sets of expensive jewelry when she gave birth to Zachary.T

Wiltspoon Hotel was closed for business since the very afternoon.The venue had been set up.As soon as the sky darkened, some small-time bosses arrived at the hotel.They felt that their status was lower, so they would be able to chat a little with the Marshall family if they arrived earlier. It would be their fortune if they managed to meet Old Mr. Marshall.If they came late, there would be too many people, and the venue would be full of influential bosses. Small-timers like them would be marginalized.In the past, Zachary did not arrive until it was very late.If he showed up, Clive would not appear.Tonight, many people wondered whether the two most exceptional CEOs in Wiltspoon would appear together.Would the new Mrs. York accompany Mr. York to the banquet?Although Mrs. York had been very active in the upper-class circles recently, she was always escorted by her aunt, Mrs. Stone.Thus, there were many rumors that Mrs. York did not get along with her mother-in-law beca

Knock, knock.There was a knock at the door.Mr. Newman asked outside the door, “Honey, are you ready? Hurry up. We’re going to be late.”Mrs. Newman gave up on trying to punish Camryn again. After all, the plan tonight was to sell Camryn. If she punished her daughter too badly, she would not be able to sell her at a good price since others would not like her.“We’re ready.”Mrs. Newman said to Camryn, “Get out!”Camryn reached for her cane and was just about to walk when her cane was snatched from her hands by her mother. Mrs. Newman tossed the cane aside and said, “You don’t need a walking stick when attending a banquet.“Just follow me.”Mrs. Newman knew that Camryn could follow along so long as Camryn could hear her voice and footsteps.Camryn fell silent and quietly followed Mrs. Newman out of the room.Mr. Newman waited impatiently at the room door. When he saw the mother and daughter come out, his eyes lit up. He looked at his stepdaughter for a long time before saying

Besides, Camryn only talked to humans. These people weren’t humans, so she could not be bothered with them.Mr. Newman took his wife downstairs, crossed the magnificent hall, and walked out of the main house.The car the couple was going to ride in was ready, and there was a separate car for bodyguards.“Honey, if Mr. York brings his wife to the banquet, you should put aside your grudge and make good relations with his wife. Bow your head first and see if you can win Mrs. York’s favor. If it doesn’t work, then use Camryn.”“Haven’t we bowed enough? We’ve been bowing since the first altercation and made all sorts of apologies, but what good did that do? Mr. York was born cold-hearted. That’s the kind of person he is, but Serenity is such a hateful person.“She called the police and threatened to sue us at the drop of a hat. She doesn’t understand the way of the world at all and will even bicker with a child. Isn’t she going to have to deal with us ladies for the rest of her life? S
