The large lawn in front of the house was beautifully decorated, and there were many guests holding tall glasses and chitchatting in groups.With Audrey’s status, the Dowling family was notified the moment her car appeared in front of the villa.Mr. and Mrs. Dowling immediately brought their children over to give their greetings.When the car was parked at a spot designated by the servant, Mr. Dowling approached with his wife and children. He personally opened the car door for Audrey and said with a smile, “Mrs. Stone.”Audrey got out of the car with grace.“Mr. Dowling,” she responded with a smile.Mrs. Dowling greeted Audrey with her son and daughters.The Dowling family had two daughters and one son.

“Sorry for imposing, Mr. Dowling.”After all, Mrs. Dowling did not send her an invitation. She came here because her aunt brought her.Mrs. Dowling smiled. “Nonsense, you’re not imposing. It’s our honor to have you here, Mrs. York.”Serenity was holding the birthday gift that Audrey had prepared for Maya. She handed the gift to Audrey, who took it and then passed it to Maya. She said with a smile, “Happy birthday, Ms. Dowling.”Mrs. Dowling quickly said, “Just call her Maya, Mrs. Stone. We’re very happy that you came to Maya’s birthday party. You didn’t have to get her a gift.”She gestured for her daughter to accept the present.The gift was a set of jewelry.Maya took the birthday present and thanked Audrey.Since Audrey only brought her daughter and niece and did not bring her husband, Mr. Dowling asked his wife to accompany them with her two daughters while he went to entertain the other guests.Mrs. Dowling warmly welcomed Audrey and the two cousins into the house.

Mrs. Newman did not care what people thought of her and continued to say, “Mrs. Stone and Ms. Stone are really magnanimous. Their ideal son-in-law was stolen away by some niece, but Mrs. Stone is still able to bring Serenity out and introduce her to everyone.”If it were Mrs. Newman, she would not be able to do it.No matter how close a niece was, how could a niece compare to a daughter?Someone rebuked Mrs. Newman and said, “You should be careful with your words, Mrs. Newman. Mr. York never accepted Ms. Stone’s feelings or promised her anything. It was all Ms. Stone’s wishful thinking. However, it’s true that Ms. Stone is magnanimous. She was in love with Mr. York, but she could let go of him when she found out that he was married. Furthermore, she generously sent her blessings to the couple. It really changed my perception of her.“You can say all that in front of us, but don’t talk about Mrs. York’s identity elsewhere. Mr. York isn’t someone your family can afford to offend.”M

“After spending half an hour in the house, the most I gained was a name card.”Elisa laughed. “That sounds about right. Everyone is in it for profit. Who would want to care about you if there was nothing to gain? What do you want to eat? I’ll go get you some food.”“I saw some delicate pastries earlier. They look delicious. Bring some for me. I ate a little at the store, so I’m not that hungry.”Serenity had a sweet tooth and wanted to try some of the exquisite snacks.In the past, when she accompanied Jasmine and Aunt Rachel to parties, Jasmine and she would just hide in the corner to eat and drink. She liked the pastries the most. They were always much better than the ones she got from stores.“Sure.”Elisa placed her glass of red wine on the small table in front of her and got up to help Serenity get food.A while later, she returned empty-handed, but she was followed by two maids working for the Dowlings. The maids held trays with the food that Elisa had picked out for Seren

Serenity kept an eye on Ms. Newman and saw that the latter did not give the cup of drugged wine to anyone else, nor did she drink it herself. Serenity was a little curious. What was Ms. Newman planning?Soon, she got her answer.It was not that Ms. Newman did not want to give the glass of wine to anyone, but the person she wanted to give it to had just arrived.A motorcycle drove into the Dowling family villa. In the yard full of luxury cars, the motorcycle stood out like a sore thumb.The person who rode the motorcycle was a girl in her twenties, but she was not the center of attention here. The focus was on the woman sitting behind her while holding a bouquet of flowers. When she got off the motorcycle, she waved a white cane to feel about the road ahead and slowly walked forward.She was blind!Serenity put down her glass and sat upright, watching the blind girl slowly walk toward the large lawn with the bouquet in one hand and the white cane in the other.A photo came into h

Mrs. Newman was talking to a few ladies not far away. She was aware of what her two daughters were doing, but she did not move and continued to chat calmly with the others.Camryn was silent for a long time before asking her sister, “You’ll pay for the flowers after I drink this?”“There are so many people around to testify. As long as you drink the wine, I’ll give you one grand.”“Fine.”Camryn brought the glass close to her lips and was just about to drink it.Suddenly, a hand reached out and snatched the glass away.“Don’t drink it.”It was an unfamiliar voice.Camryn identified the other party’s location through her voice and turned her head to face the stranger with a puzzled expression.The person who snatched away her glass of wine was Serenity.Other people were just watching the show, but Serenity could not simply stand by because she knew that Carrie had spiked the wine. It was clear that Carrie had bad intentions. Who knew what would happen to Camryn if she drank i

Carrie was provoking Elisa and Serenity.They could help Camryn now, but could they help her forever?Carrie could wreck Camryn’s flower shop any time she wanted, and Camryn would not dare to do anything about it.Camryn was not stupid. She would not drink the glass of wine after Elisa said that it was drugged. “I’ll give these flowers to you as a gift. You don’t have to pay.”Then, she faced Elisa and Serenity and thanked them. There was a hint of gratitude in her normally indifferent tone.“Camryn Newman, I asked you to drink the wine!”Carrie felt that her plan was about to fail.When Camryn turned to leave, she reached out and grabbed Camryn, pulling her sister toward her. She grabbed Camryn’s chin with one hand, pinched it forcefully, and was just about to pour the glass of wine into her throat.Serenity and Elisa moved at the same time.Serenity easily reversed the situation with her kickboxing skills. She not only rescued Camryn from Carrie’s grip but also grasped Carri

Just then, Audrey and Mrs. Dowling heard the commotion and hurriedly came out of the house.Mrs. Newman did not dare confront Audrey head-on, and her darling daughter was suffering the consequences of her own actions, so she simply apologized to Mrs. Dowling and quickly left the venue while trudging both their weights along.When everything calmed down again, Camryn thanked Serenity and Elisa.She did not understand why they helped her.From her mother’s shouting, she learned that one of the people who helped her was Mrs. York, the most talked about person in Wiltspoon recently.She did not expect Mrs. York to be the chivalrous type and saved her.In fact, even without Serenity’s help, she had her ways to get out of the trap.She eked out a living under the thumb of her stepfather and her mother, who was as cruel as a stepmother, and slowly collected evidence... Camryn would not have lived until now if she did not have tricks up her sleeve.Serenity said in concern, “If they tr
