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

The same person also looked down on Serenity’s background.A country bumpkin sprinted up the social ladder just because she saved Old Mrs. York.There were so many elders in the York family, but no one raised an objection and allowed a country bumpkin to become the eldest missus of the family. She would be the lady of the family in the future. Was the York family not afraid that Serenity’s incompetence would disgrace the family and make them the laughingstock of others?If Serenity had married another son of the York family, she might not have attracted that much jealousy.“You’re right. I also think that Serenity isn’t insightful enough. She doesn’t think things through and is too impulsive. She takes advantage of her husband’s status and doesn’t show respect to many people, so she casually meddles in other people’s business and makes enemies for Mr. York.”This time it was Mrs. Newman who spoke.“Exactly. Serenity is really meddlesome. You’re Mrs. Newman, right? I remember Sere

Zachary’s team of bodyguards responsibly opened a path for him and Serenity. They prevented anyone from approaching them as they wished. The husband and wife followed behind their parents and walked toward the Marshalls.Everyone greeted each other. The Marshalls’ gaze focused on Serenity in the end. Serenity was charming. Her aura was not inferior either. She was elegant and graceful without being petty. Zachary and Serenity had gone public with their marriage long ago. However, they had not attended any event of the elite circle together. Serenity usually attended banquets with Mrs. Stone, while Mrs. Marshall did not show up much. Therefore, it was the Marshalls’ first time meeting Serenity.The famous figure of Wiltspoon for the past six months, Mrs. York, was not as inferior as the rumors described so to the Marshalls. On the contrary, they felt she was a good match for Zachary when they stood together. They looked as if they were made for each other. Those who said S

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
