Chapter 1321
“I’ll help you with your makeup, honey.”
Serenity complied with his wishes and changed into the most conservative dress in her wardrobe. Zachary volunteered to help his wife with her makeup again.
Serenity refused without even thinking about it.
“I still care about my appearance.”
Her words made Zachary’s mouth flap several times without saying anything.
His reaction amused Serenity, and she asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do makeup? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re going to paint my face like a ghost so no one will look at me.”
Zachary was speechless. “I’ve never helped a woman with her makeup before, but I wouldn’t make you look like a ghost to scare people.”
“Forget it, I can’t trust you. I’ll do it myself. Go and get yourself ready. We’ll be heading out soon.” Zachary refused to leave and said, “I don’t have anything to prepare. I just need to change into a suit, switch my home slippers for leather shoes, and the finishing touch will be you helping me with my tie.”
He did not need to apply makeup.
He was born handsome. Makeup would only make his handsome face look ugly instead.
Zachary York never wore makeup.
“We don’t have to rush. It doesn’t matter if we’re late as long as we show up.”
In previous years, Zachary always showed up very late to the Marshalls‘ banquet. He would not stay long before leaving either.
He was used to being late and leaving early.
Serenity went back to the vanity and sat down, combing her hair while saying, “You’re used to being late and leaving early.”
“I don’t like to be surrounded by them.”
“It’s because you’re the eldest young master of the York family.”
Zachary said, “I wouldn’t be able to marry you if I wasn’t the eldest.”
If he was not the eldest, his nana would not have let him marry Serenity.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Go open the door.”
Serenity chased him away lest he chatter in her ears endlessly. She never dreamt that one day, the mature and calm Mr. York would become a broken record, nagging her so much that her head hurt.
Zachary darted over to press a kiss on her cheeks. Just when she was about to slap him away, he swiftly ran off to open the door.
“Mr. Zachary.”
A maid stood at the door of the room and said respectfully when Zachary opened the door, “Your parents have arrived.”
Zachary hummed and closed the door again.
“Who was it?” Serenity asked as she put on her makeup.
“My parents are here.”
“Well, why aren’t you going downstairs then?”
“This is their son’s home. They’re free to do whatever they want here. They don’t need me to accompany them.”
Zachary went up behind Serenity and watched her put on her makeup. “Honey, you don’t need to dress up so beautifully. In fact, I think you look great au naturel. You’re naturally beautiful, so you’re still the most beautiful woman on earth even without makeup.”
“Don’t say I’m the most beautiful woman on earth. You’ll make people die of laughter.”
“You’re the most beautiful woman in my eyes. Just light makeup is enough.”
If asked for his opinion, he would say that his wife was better off without makeup.
There would be many people tonight. He really did not like other men staring at her.
Even if they looked at her secretly, he would still be upset.
“Just go downstairs already!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1322
Chapter 1322
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.”
Tania echoed her husband’s words. “Yes, I think your father looks very dashing in a white suit. Your dad has always been the Prince Charming in my heart.”
She was also dressed in a conservative but elegant evening gown.
Tania’s elegance was all natural. No matter what she wore, it could not hide her noble air.
“Zack, did you fight with Seren again? Your tone was so confrontational. You targeted your dad as soon as we arrived. Or did we come at a bad time and interrupt you two…”
Since Liam retired, Tania did not need to accompany her husband to various banquets and
fundraisers, so the couple had not shown up at banquets for a long time.
Tonight, they finally returned to the scene because Tania wanted to let everyone know that she had an excellent relationship with her daughter–in–law.
It was also to help pave the way for Serenity. She wanted to introduce Serenity to the ladies who were closely related to the York family.
In the future, Serenity would be the lady of the family.
She had to accompany Zachary to various banquets, fundraisers, etc, so she had to create good relations with the other ladies. She held a large influence as the woman who shared the same bed as Zachary
“Nothing happened.”
Zachary would not admit to his parents that his beloved wife drove him downstairs.
“That’s good. Is Seren still changing? I’ll go check up on her.”
Tania stood up and went upstairs.
After she left, Liam asked his son softly, “Zack, are you sure you didn’t fight with Seren? I’m a man too, and I also like to spoil my wife. I can tell from your expression that you’re unhappy.”
Zachary looked at his father silently.
Liam realized what was going on and straightened up. “Your mom said she wanted to show up with her daughter–in–law, so I accompanied her over. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come even if you begged me to.”
The banquet tonight was a grand one, so there would be many reporters taking pictures.
Tania chose to show up today with her daughter–in–law. The reporters would certainly swarm to take pictures of the mother and daughter–in–law, and everyone would be able to tell at a glance if their relationship was good or not.
The reason she did not show up in public with her daughter–in–law often was because she was an open–minded mother–in–law and would not take up her daughter–in–law’s time with her son.
As a mother, her child’s happiness came first.
Zachary’s happiness was given to him by Serenity.
When he was with Serenity, he was just an ordinary man who felt emotions like joy and anger.
Naturally, she would want Zachary to spend more time with Serenity. How could she lord over her daughter–in–law?
“You think too much, Dad. If I’m going to beg anyone to come back, I’ll only beg Seren.”
Liam was speechless.
“You little brat.”
“I’m a brat, but you’re no better. I’m your son and followed your example.”
Liam paused before stating, “Men who have a wife to dote over them are really different. In the past, you never so much as made a peep when you were lashed. Look how sharp–tongued you’ve become now.
“Serenity really is a good daughter–in–law!”
She was the person who changed his son.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1323
Chapter 1323
“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.
Tania did not have a daughter, so her precious jewelry was naturally for her daughter–in–law. Serenity was her only daughter–in–law now, so her giving Serenity jewelry was the same as how Grandma May gave her a set of jewelry when she gave birth to Zachary
Serenity, who was well–trained by Audrey after being taken to several banquets previously, changed into a fancy dress, put on light makeup, and wore the jewelry her mother–in–law gifted her. She looked so beautiful and dignified that Zachary was stunned at the sight of her.
Liam snubbed his son in his heart. His son was destined to be controlled by Serenity for the rest of his life.
Serenity would retort if she heard Liam’s thoughts, “I think I’m the one being controlled for the rest of my life.”
“Babe, look at the jewelry Mom gave me. Does it look good?”
Zachary nodded. “Yes, but I think you’ll look better in the jewelry that I gave you.’
Tania laughed and scolded him, “Are you going to be jealous of your own mother? Seren, you’re the only one who can tolerate how petty he is.”
Serenity gave her husband a look.
She was not the one calling him petty. It was his own mother.
A mother knew her son best. Her mother–in–law was telling the truth.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
Liam stood and called out to his wife, ready to leave for Wiltspoon Hotel.
“Dad, Zachary hasn’t changed his clothes yet.”
Liam turned to his son and said, “Why are you still standing there like a wooden block? You really are like a wooden block. You don’t move unless someone pushes you. Only someone like Serenity can tolerate a wooden block like you.
The husband and wife praised their daughter–in–law while stepping over their son.
Zachary grumbled, “I don’t know which one of us is your real child.” Then, he stood up and went upstairs to get changed.
Serenity felt like her in–laws were the best in–laws in the world.
Zachary changed swiftly. He did not put on his coat or his tie and carried them in his hands when he came downstairs.
Liam pulled his wife outside.
He could not stand to see his arrogant and jealous son.
Serenity walked over naturally, took the coat from her husband’s hands, and helped him put it or Then, she started tying his tie.
After straightening his clothes, she took a step back and looked at him, praising, “As expected a mannequin–you look good no matter what you wear.”
Then, she took his arm and smiled. “Let’s not keep your parents waiting.”
“You’re not allowed to sleep in the guest room tonight.”
“I won’t.”
Serenity could not help but laugh. “I was just scaring you.”
She had no choice. It was the only way she could deal with this man.
With Old Mr. Marshall’s status in Wiltspoon, even Zachary had to show him full respect.
His business receptions were always extravagant and guests felt honored to be invited to a banquet he hosted.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1324
Chapter 1324
Wiltspoon Hotel was closed for business since the very
The venue had been set up.
afternoon.
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 because she never attended a banquet with her mother-in-law. Her mother–in–law did not want to train her, so she went to Mrs. Stone instead.
Although Tania took Serenity shopping together after hearing those rumors to show that they got along very well, there were still many whispers behind their backs.
The guests kept coming.
Except for Kevin and Grandma May who were in Jensburg, as well as the younger members who had not debuted in society yet, Zachary and his family arrived one after another.
Callum came with his parents.
After greeting the Marshalls and chatting with his acquaintances, he went in front of the hotel and waited.
He was waiting for Camryn.
Camryn did not want to attend the banquet, but her mother went to her flower shop with a group of bodyguards at noon and took her back to the Newman residence without a word.
Her mother threw her an evening dress and told her to get changed.
She even threatened Camryn that if Camryn did not get changed herself, she would tell the bodyguards to lend a hand.
Camryn was a pure girl who never even had a boyfriend, and the bodyguards were all men. How could her mother say something like that?
Her heart, which was already scarred by her own mother, still stung.
With no other choice, she changed into the evening dress her mother threw at her. It did not fit her well. It was Carrie’s dress without the need to ask.
She felt uncomfortable in the dress.
It was a strapless dress that exposed her shoulders and back. Her skin was fair and her curves were exquisite. Wearing this dress accentuated the beauty of her figure.
Camryn, who was already beautiful, was caught by her mother and forced to put on light makeup, making her look even more captivating and refined.
Mrs. Newman looked at how her elder daughter was so much more beautiful than her darling second daughter after dressing up and she felt so jealous and angry that she could not help but pinch Camryn.
Camryn reflexively gave a kick at the pain.
Mrs. Newman, who was kicked, got angrier and raised her hand to slap her daughter.
“Will you dare bring me to the party if you slap me? My face will swell.”
Camryn’s cold words made Mrs. Newman’s hand freeze in the air.
However, she still pinched her waist fiercely and cussed, “Little b*tch.”
“I’m your daughter. If I’m a little b*tch, then you’re an old b*tch.”
“You-!”
Mrs. Newman was furious.
However, she stopped calling Camryn a b*tch. It was because she really was Camryn’s mother!
Married At First Sight Chapter 1325
Chapter 1325
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, “Camryn really is getting more beautiful. She takes after both you and her father.”
Every time he saw Camryn, it was like he was looking at his younger brother.
Fortunately, Camryn did not completely take after his younger brother, otherwise he would not even want to see her.
Mrs. Newman glared at Camryn for a moment and said in contempt, “My Carrie is more beautiful.”
Then, she stepped forward, took her husband’s arm, and said, “Let’s go. The banquet is about to start.”
“The banquet starts around this time, but there’s no need to rush. The climax of the banquet is when Mr. York arrives. Even if we go now, Mr. York won’t be there yet.”
At the mention of Zachary, Mrs. Newman remembered Serenity and felt anger bubbling in her stomach. She turned her head and scolded Camryn, who was slowly walking down the stairs,” Can’t you move faster?
“You’re so slow no matter what you do. How is a person like you able to earn money and feed yourself?”
Camryn ignored her.
She grabbed the handrail and took her time.
Mrs. Newman was enraged. No matter how she scolded Camryn, Camryn paid no mind to her. It was like she was punching cotton–her dissatisfaction only increased.
If not for the fact that she had to take this mole rat out to attend the banquet tonight, she wanted to go behind Camryn and kick her down.
“Camryn can’t see, so she has to walk slowly when going down the stairs. What if she slips and hurts her face?
“Come on, don’t be angry.”
Mr. Newman admonished his wife and said gently to Camryn, “Camryn, your mother is just short- tempered. Don’t take it to heart. Take your time. We’ll wait for you outside.”
Camryn remained silent.
Mr. Newman was used to his niece’s reticence.
Camryn did not like to talk at home. What could she say? No one treated her like a human here.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1326
Chapter 1326
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? She sent my daughter to prison without showing us any respect.
“A heartless person like that won’t mix well in our circle. Just wait and see. Mr. York will get tired of her soon. Can he always clean up after her messes?
“I really question Mr. York’s tastes for marrying a country bumpkin. Anyone would be better than at peasant. All the ladies in our circle come from rich families, but we have to lower ourselves and get along with a bumpkin.”
Mrs. Newman was extremely dissatisfied with Serenity. It could be said that she was full of hatred for Serenity.
She wanted to tear Serenity into pieces. If it were not for that woman, her darling daughter would not be in jail now.
“She only had the guts to treat my Carrie like that because Mr. York still fancies her novelty. Who would know who she is if not for Mr. York?”
Mrs. Newman did not dare hold a grudge against Zachary.
She just felt that Serenity was taking advantage of her powerful connections.
Serenity was just using Zachary’s status to oppress the Newman family.
Mr. Newman was silent for a moment before saying, “There’s no point in saying all that now. We have no say in the person he marries. The only thing we can say is that she’s lucky.”
After Zachary made his relationship with Serenity public, everyone learned that the person who picked Serenity first was Old Mrs. York.
It was Old Mrs. York who told Zachary to marry Serenity to repay her.
However, as the couple got along, Zachary fell for her.
Serenity was lucky to have made Zachary fall in love with her. If Zachary did not love her, their
marriage of convenience would not last long. Zachary would never let a woman he did not love occupy the position of his wife, and the York family would not let Zachary remain single for the rest of his life either.
In the end, it came to how fortunate Serenity was. She was lucky to have gotten Zachary to fall in love with her and treasure her.
“Yes, she’s too lucky. She’s the luckiest girl I’ve ever met. Hubby, let’s think of a way to marry Carrie into the York family after she comes out of jail. I often attend banquets with Carrie and feel like the only young men worthy of her are the other sons of the York and Stone families.”
Clive had been married for many years, but the second son of the Stone family, Anthony, was still available.
Mrs. Newman wanted her darling daughter to marry into a top–class family, which was either the York or Stone families.
She preferred the York family–they had more sons, so the chances were better.
“Serenity is already the eldest Mrs. York in her generation. If you want Carrie to marry into the York family too, do you want Serenity to forever hold Carrie under her thumb?”
Mrs. Newman opened her mouth to say something but had no words.
After a while, she said, “The other sons of the York family aren’t actually Zachary York’s brothers. They’re his cousins! Although the family lives together in Wildridge Manor, their villas are built separately. How could Serenity hold Carrie under her thumb?”
“Zachary is the head of the family, so his wife will be the lady of the family. The York family is united. With Zachary as the head, don’t you think our daughter will be oppressed if she marries a York? Besides, we still don’t know if our daughter can marry into that family.”

Chapter 1327
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 the position of the missus of the York family, his precious daughter would not be able to marry into the gentry of Wiltspoon.
He began to set his sights on young talents from other cities.
While the couple talked, Camryn finally came out of the house.
Mrs. Newman did not want Camryn to ride in the same car as them, but Mr. Newman said, ” Remember our plan tonight. Don’t let a little thing spoil it. It’s Camryn’s debut at a banquet, and she’s your daughter. What will people think and say about you if you make her ride with the bodyguards?”
“It’s just a matter of dressing her up and selling her for a good price. Everyone in Wiltspoon knows her status as the eldest of the Newman family.”
Mrs. Newman grumbled, but she got out and pulled Camryn into the car.
Just like that, the three of them arrived at Wiltspoon Hotel.
Upon arriving, they found that the parking lot in front of the entrance was filled. Those who came late drove their cars into the basement parking of the hotel.
Mr. Newman and his family got off at the entrance of the hotel and asked the driver to park in the basement.
All the movers and shakers of Wiltspoon gathered in the hotel. The Newman family had assets. worth more than a billion, but they did not show off their wealth in a high profile, so others only knew that their business was going well outside the city. Except for a few influential families, the others did not know exactly how much the Newmans made.
Therefore, the Newrnans were not considered filthy rich, so not many people came to flatter them.
“Mr. Newman, Mrs. Newman, Ms. Newman.”
Callum, who was waiting by the entrance of the hotel, finally saw his fiancée arrive.
He pretended as if he just happened to bump into the family of three. He walked over and greeted them politely.
“Mr. York.”
Mrs. Newman smiled when she saw Callum and greeted him formally. There were many people at the entrance when Callum greeted them. She felt proud of the attention.
Even Mr. Newman felt so too.
Although Callum was not the head of the family, he was the COO of York Corporation and had won Zachary’s trust and reliance. He was the second young master after all–his status and identity were second only to Zachary.
He was also the most popular son–in–law candidate amongst the ladies.
Not even Zachary was as popular as Callum when he was unmarried. It was because Zachary was too cold.
On the other hand, Callum was mild–tempered, amiable, and gentle. He was easier to get along with than Zachary.
Callum’s eyes shone with amazement when he looked at his fiancée.
He knew she was beautiful, but he did not expect her to look so gorgeous after dressing up a little. However, her dress was a little revealing.
If he were the one choosing an evening gown for her, he would not pick one that showed off her shoulders and backs.
The men of the York family were all the same. They could not stand to see their wives reveal some skin.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1328
Chapter 1328
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 had no choice but to move according to their plan and sell Camryn to a man from the hosting family of this banquet, the Marshalls. In any case, the man had to possess some standing in the family.
The Marshalls and Yorks were family friends.
Even the young masters of the Yorks were attending Old Mr. Marshall’s banquet, so it was clear the relationship between the two families was closer than others thought.
Mr. and Mrs. Newman wanted to ask the Marshall family to mediate for them.
After Callum left, the Newman family walked into the hotel under the guidance of the staff.
Callum was merely making an excuse earlier, but unexpectedly, he really did see someone familiar.
Josh came with his fiancée, Jasmine.
His car stopped in front of the hotel. He got off with Jasmine before telling the driver to park in the basement parking lot.
Josh had always used to drive himself, but he got a driver tonight so he did not have to worry about driving under influence.
Josh was as handsome as ever, and Jasmine was all dolled up. She brought Serenity to the banquets held in previous years, so she was familiar with the environment.
After getting out of the car, Jasmine lifted her gown to enter the hotel.
She wondered if Serenity and Elisa had arrived.
“Jasmine.”
As soon as Josh got out of the car, he saw his fiancée leaving him behind and was about to enter the hotel by herself. He quickly stopped Jasmine. If he spoke up a little later, he would become a pitiful man left behind by his fiancée.
Jasmine turned to look at him and asked, “What is it?”
Josh was speechless. “Don’t you have to wait for me…?”
“You know the way. This place should be as familiar as home to you.”
Josh quickly walked over, wrapped an arm around Jasmine’s waist, and whispered in her ear, “Ms. Sox, you must remember that you’re my date tonight! Important things should be repeated thrice. You’re my date. You’re my date. You’re my date!
“How can you go in by yourself without waiting for me? Hold my arm. Don’t you see other couples doing the same?”
Jasmine pulled away his hand that was holding her waist, then took his hand and intertwined their fingers. “Let’s go. I’ll take you inside with me.”
She had to do this lest he act bitter.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1329
Chapter 1329
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 excuse.
It was not that he was not charmed by Camryn. He just did not want Mr. and Mrs. Newman to notice that he cared about her.
He returned to the hotel. He noticed that Mrs. Newman and his fiancée were chatting with the other ladies. Many guests were surprised that Mrs. Newman appeared with Camryn.
Smart people soon figured out why.
Camryn was twenty–six years old and was at the age to get married. Mrs. Newman suddenly appeared with Camryn because she hoped to choose a husband for her daughter.
Camryn looked pretty, but she was treated like she was invisible by her family. Furthermore, she was blind. In order to keep on living, she opened a flower store by herself and earned money to eke out a living.
The ladies disliked such conditions. No one was willing to marry their son to Camryn.
Most importantly, she was blind.
Callum found his mother in the crowd and whispered a few words to her. The woman looked at Camryn, who was being led away by Mrs. Newman, and said to her son, “Go handle your business. I’ll take care of my future daughter–in–law.”
If those ladies learned that Camryn, a blind woman they looked down on, had long been. designated as the second missus of the York family, their eyeballs would pop out of their sockets and roll on the ground.
“I wonder if Mr. and Mrs. York will appear together,” someone piped up.
Another person echoed, “We’ll know when Mr. York shows up later.”
“Maybe Mrs. York will come with Mrs. Stone again. If that’s the case…”
That person trailed off.
It seemed they were waiting to watch a show.
If Serenity, the missus of the York family, showed up on an occasion tonight with Mrs. Stone again, it would be a slap to Zachary and the York family’s faces.
“No matter how ignorant Mrs. York is, she can’t be that ignorant, right?” someone muttered.
“Why not? She grew up in the countryside and doesn’t know what the world is like. It’s normal for her to be afraid. Mrs. Stone is her aunt, so she won’t have to be afraid if she follows her aunt. A person like her won’t think that far.”
The person who said those words was obviously hostile toward Serenity.

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 Serenity meddling with your daughters‘ business during the Dowlings‘ party back then. I called Tania out of the kindness of my heart and told her to watch her daughter–in–law, but she scolded me and blocked my number.”
It was Mrs. Walker, who was full of hostility and dislike for Serenity after Tania rebuked and blocked her.
Mrs. Walker had been furious. She had meant well, but Tania snubbed her.
If Serenity were her daughter–in–law and dared meddle in other people’s affairs and cause trouble for her son, she would have told her son to divorce immediately and marry a compliant wife.
Even if Tania wanted to protect her daughter–in–law, she should have taken into consideration the situation. Protecting Serenity like that would only cause Serenity to get into more trouble in the future.
The York family would be ruined in the hands of Serenity sooner or later.
Their reputation would be destroyed by her.
“Tania has arrived, and she came with her son and daughter–in–law.”
While Mrs. Newman and Mrs. Walker were running their mouths about Serenity, someone suddenly raised their voice.
Except for Old Mr. Marshall, everyone else in the Marshall family stood up to greet them.
The other ladies exchanged glances.
Mrs. Walker nudged Mrs. Newman and whispered, “Tania hasn’t attended a banquet for a long time You’re lucky to see her tonight.”
Mrs. Newman replied softly, “She’s attending out of respect to Old Mr. Marshall.”
“That’s true. Everyone here respects Old Mr. Marshall. He’s kind–hearted enough to hold such a grand business reception once or twice a year so people can get together to talk about our daily lives. The men can even negotiate business.”
The annual Marshalls‘ banquet was like a feast for Wiltspoonians, where all kinds of company heads could make friends with people they had no chance to meet during ordinary times. They could also try to negotiate and do business.
Thus, Old Mr. Marshall’s status in the business world was extraordinary.
After all, even the York family revered him.
Old Mrs. York would even call Old Mr. Marshall by name affectionately when she saw him.
Outside the hotel, Serenity was escorted out of the car by her man. He was very gentlemanly and took special care of her.
He was worried she would be unsteady while wearing stilettos.
Serenity said to him with a low smile, “If I had to wear heels this high in the past, I definitely wouldn’t be able to walk, but I’m used to it now. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t embarrass you tonight.”
“I’m not afraid of being embarrassed. What’s important is that you’re happy and not wronged.”
Serenity’s finger mischievously tickled the palm of his hand as she laughed. “I’m your wife. Who would dare cross me?”
This little action of hers caused Zachary to want to tie her into his arms and kiss her fiercely a million times.
She was simply a little minx, always teasing him in public so he could not punish her.
