“Liberty and Sonny are here too, but I really did come here to see you, Grandma May.”Duncan stepped into the gazebo, sat down, and watched the old lady continue with her pilates.He said, “When my granny was still alive, I asked her to practice pilates with you, but she didn’t listen to me.”His granny and Grandma May were of the same age, but the former’s health was far from that of the latter.Grandma May was still physically strong and could fly around the world by plane without company.She set her grandsons up with a spring in her step.Meanwhile, his granny had been buried six feet under for many years.“Your granny is a true noble lady. She’s different from someone impoverished like me.”“Who said you’re impoverished? You’re also a true noble lady.”Grandma May laughed. “When my grandfather was alive, my family was considered an influential family. But after I was born, my family fell into poverty. Now, even their mansion has been handed over to the state.“On the oth
Grandma May led Sonny out of the gazebo and asked Zachary.Zachary replied, “These two aunts of Ms. Camryn, who are waiting outside now to meet Aunt Rosella, keep cursing Ms. Camryn for being an ungrateful wench. They just want to seize the opportunity to take over the Newman family. However, I skipped the specifics. That’s up to Callum to worry about.”Camryn would only be his sister-in-law in the future. Unless she begged him for help, he would not concern himself with the Newmans’ affairs.“Callum didn’t interfere much, right? Camryn can handle herself. Callum just needs to stand behind her and be her backer.”Grandma May was full of trust in her chosen granddaughter-in-law and believed that Camryn would be able to handle the Newman family assets well.Zachary did not speak.Grandma May quickly changed the topic.She did not have to worry about her second and third grandsons anymore. She had already chosen someone for them, so all left was for them to pursue their wives.How
Zachary stopped talking.This was a responsibility Serenity had to take up since she married him.Serenity looked at her husband and saw him fall silent, then said, “Then I have to take advantage of these days while Zachary is at home on holiday to properly get a feel for it. I can ask you guys questions if I don’t understand anything.”She was aware that she had responsibilities as the missus of the York family.It just did not occur to her that she would have to manage the family industries.Furthermore, she did not expect she would have to manage the huge Wildridge Manor in the future.Serenity thought of the first time she met Jane and saw how the latter managed FC Manor.It seemed that she, like Jane, had to take over the management of some of her in-laws’ assets. Jane seemed to have already taken over, but Serenity had not started yet.Jane had a strong background. Although she grew up in the Murphy family, which was not considered affluent, they were still rather well-of
The wedding was not held yet, but the York family had already started to make arrangements to get her sister involved in their family business. It was a sign of recognition and trust in her sister.Liberty was relieved.Her sister was much luckier than she was.In the beginning, Serenity got married to Zachary in order to make her feel at ease. The couple had no feelings back then, but now, they were loving each other deeply and living a blissful life.Most importantly, the York family was the richest family in Wiltspoon, but they never looked down on Serenity’s background.This was exceptionally rare.Liberty was genuinely happy for her sister.Serenity took her mother-in-law’s arm and said like a spoiled child, “Mom, we just got back. Can you let me have some fun?”Tania poked Serenity’s forehead dotingly and said, “Haven’t you had enough fun? The vegetable farm you invested in is also managed for you. As an investor, all you have to do is check in once in a while. Other than
“The old ledgers have been copied to new books so it’s easier for reference.”Tania explained and pointed to the computer on the desk while saying to Serenity, “There are too many ledgers to look through, so there’s also a copy on the computer. It’s much easier and faster to look it up on the computer.”Serenity looked at the large bookshelves, trying to suppress her shock, and asked her mother-in-law, “Mom, are these all our family’s properties?”“Yep.”Serenity took a pause before she said, “Nana just mentioned the rental of some shops and houses, some chain stores, and small industries that needed my management.”At the sight of so many books, Serenity felt that she would not be able to get to the bottom of the York family’s industries in just a few days of holidays.God, there were so many books!She did not study accounting, so she was just a novice.“Your nana is right. It’s just some small enterprises. You just need to know where it is and who’s in charge of that busines
“If you don’t understand anything in the future, you can ask us or Zack. Zack handles matters outside the family, but he still knows about the affairs within the family.”Serenity nodded.She was relieved that she could rely on Zachary.“Will you be going downstairs now or staying here to read the ledgers?” Tania asked.Serenity thought about it and said, “My sister and Mr. Lewis are here. Since there are guests, we should go downstairs first. There are too many books for me to finish reading in a short period of time. I’ll come in and read them when I’m free tonight.”Tania hummed.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the small study together, and Tania locked the door of the study again.She added, “The study is an important place, and others are generally forbidden from entering, so we’re responsible for cleaning up the study. I’ll clean it up when you’re not here, but if you move back to the manor with Zack in the future, I’ll leave it to you to care for it.”“Okay.”
Camryn was the wife that Grandma May chose for Callum, so Rosella paid more attention to the Newman family. She was a bit curious about the reason for the sudden visit of Camryn’s two aunts.By the time Camryn’s aunts came in, Rosella had already finished her breakfast.She sat on the sofa in the hall, flipping through a fashion magazine.Mason personally led the two ladies in.“Madam, Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Joyner are here.”Rosella hummed and closed the magazine before placing it on the coffee table. She stood up and looked at the two with a smile.“Mrs. York.”Although the two Newman sisters mingle in the circle of wealthy ladies from time to time, they were unable to enter the circle of real noblewomen. They could not squeeze into the circle the ladies of the Yorks belonged to.The sisters came over today without saying anything but were made to wait outside the manor for several hours.They came too early. They thought Rosella was like them who had to get up early to prep
Amy echoed, “Yes, our Camryn is not worthy of Mr. York. I believe your family would not be able to accept that she’s blind too. She even sued her own mother. She’s lacking in virtue and isn’t good enough for Mr. York.”It seemed that that was their purpose.Rosella understood what the women came here for today.They could not stand to see Callum treating Camryn well, so they came here to wreak havoc and ruin Camryn’s reputation in front of her. They wanted to use her to break up Callum and Camryn.Were they really Camryn’s biological aunts?They could not stand to see Camryn doing well.“Is that how you feel about your niece and Callum?”The smile slipped from Rosella’s face.“Do you think Camryn is unworthy of Callum? Do you think she lacks virtue? I heard about her suing her own mother. If her biological father truly did die at her mother’s hand, then she did the right thing by choosing justice over family.“I think that as her aunts, you should take her side instead. After
