Chapter 999
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
Chapter 1000
“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
Chapter 1004
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

“Aren’t you going to ask who I offended?”Zachary looked at her and said, “There’s no need to. No matter who you offend, I’ll always be on your side.”In his eyes, his wife was always right.Serenity muttered, “Zachary, you’ll spoil me rotten if you trust me like this.”“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I’ll spoil you so rotten that no one else can stand you. That way, you’ll always be mine. No one will try to steal you away.”Serenity could not help but laugh. “Who would dare steal me away after knowing that I’m your wife?”Shawn had been secretly in love with her for many years and did not give up even after finding out that she was married. He hoped that she could still marry him after she divorced her husband. However, when his mother told him that Serenity’s husband was Zachary York, the heir of the York family, Shawn finally gave up.Last time, Shawn took advantage of a long weekend to hastily return to Wiltspoon. Rachel invited Jasmine and her family for dinner, and

“Aunt Audrey will glare at you if she heard you say that.”Zachary laughed. “Your aunt has always been a stern person. She mellowed out considerably after retiring, but it’ll still be hard on you because you asked her to teach you. However, she’s still your aunt and is doing it for your own good. If you can bear the hardships, the lessons you learn from her will serve you for the rest of your life.”Serenity walked to the sofa and sat down.Zachary followed and propped her feet up, then started to massage them.Serenity tried to stop him and said, “You’re the high and mighty Mr. York, the CEO of York Corporation.”“In front of you, I’m just your husband. My wife tortured her feet with her much-hated stilettos for an entire night for me. Who can stop me from pampering her a little when she gets back?”After hearing his domineering yet sweet words, Serenity did not stop him from massaging her feet.“I met Camryn Newman tonight.”Serenity took the initiative to tell him when he di
