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

It was not that Mr. Newman did not want his daughter to marry into the York family but rather it was a question of whether it was possible.Serenity reached the top without even knowing how, but other people would not be able to step into Wildridge Manor no matter how hard they tried.It was really infuriating.“Then, we’ll choose Mr. Stone?”Mr. Newman looked at his wife and said, “You become muddle-headed when you care about Carrie. You only think about marrying our daughter to the best families, but you forget their relationships. Serenity is Mrs. Stone’s niece. Do you think Carrie will have a good time as Mrs. Stone’s daughter-in-law?”Mrs. Newman was speechless.Yes, she forgot about that.“Carrie is still young, so there’s no need to rush. We can take our time to pick. Our top priority is to get her out of jail, find someone whom the York family respects to mediate, and let Serenity give up on suing Carrie.”Mr. Newman felt that as long as Serenity was firmly seated in th

Even though many gowns were made in that style, they just did not like it.The York men wanted to cover their women tightly; not even exposing their arms.At that moment, Camryn’s appearance made others want to bite into her.“Ms. Newman looks very beautiful tonight.”Callum praised Camryn before turning back to the Newman couple. “Mr. and Mrs. Newman, I saw an acquaintance of mine and will go to say hello to him. Head on inside. Many bosses are here already.”“Go ahead, Mr. York,” Mr. Newman spoke politely.He caught the amazement in Callum’s eyes when the latter looked at Camryn earlier. However, Callum only glanced at her twice, praised her, and stopped looking at her. It was clear that he was not charmed by Camryn.Mr. Newman thought that if Camryn could bewitch Callum, he would give her to Callum and let Callum speak up for Carrie. Serenity would definitely spare Carrie for the sake of her brother-in-law.What a shame; even the stunning Camryn could not tempt Callum.They

Wiltspoon Hotel was owned by York Corporation. Josh was the administrative executive and came in and out of the hotel every day, but he still wanted her to take him inside.Josh said, “You don’t have to rush in. Your friend hasn’t arrived yet. I didn’t see his car parked at the entrance.“It’s not just Zachary. I didn’t see the Stone family’s car either. They’re not as punctual as I am.”Jasmine was not convinced. “Maybe their cars are in the underground parking lot.”“If you don’t believe me, just ask the lobby manager.”Jasmine pursed her lips and let go of Josh’s hand to take his arm instead, saying, “Okay, let’s go inside.”Josh contentedly took Jasmine into the hotel.Callum, an old acquaintance, was left standing at the entrance of the hotel. Josh did not say a word to him.Callum was speechless.Oh, the woes of being a bachelor.No matter how close a friend was, once the said friend had a partner, they no longer cared about you.Fortunately, he was just making an excu
