Married At First Sight Chapter 1331

Chapter 1331

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 Serenity was inelegant and not good enough for Zachary were definitely jealous. They were envious of her being favored by the heavens.

“This is my wife, Serenity.”

Zachary introduced Serenity to the Marshalls.

Next, he introduced the Marshalls to Serenity as well. After that, she greeted everyone all smiling.

Mrs. Marshall said to Tania with a smile, “Tania, I’m so envious of you. Your daughter–in–law looks like a fine, kind, and filial child. You’ll be able to enjoy a happy life in the future.”

Tania laughed and said, “Of course. Serenity has won my heart. I don’t have a daughter, so I’ll treat and love my daughter–in–law like one.”

Mrs. Marshall beamed. “I knew it from a glance. You truly care about your daughter–in–law.”

The sets of jewelry Old Mrs. York gifted Tania back in the years were extremely expensive. Tania was a person who owned a lot of jewelry, but she treasured those given to her by Old Mrs. York. the most. She would only wear a set of them at grand events.

However, all pieces of her favorite and most precious set of jewelry were worn by Serenity now.

Would Tania have let Serenity wear them if she did not like her daughter–in–law?

Rumors by outsiders that the pair had a bad relationship could not be trusted.

“I have three sons, but I only have one daughter–in–law. I treat Serenity like a pearl.”

Tania pulled Serenity to her side. They entered the hotel while talking to the ladies of the Marshall family.

“Jules, you don’t know how much Zack keeps complaining that I’m snatching his wife. I just wanted to go shopping and buy some stuff with my daughter–in–law, but Zack and my husband would have a strong opinion about it. Zack, in particular, is almost treating me as his love rival.

Mrs. Marshall’s name was Julie. Tania was close to her, so she called her by her nickname, Jules

Mrs. Marshall smiled and said, “The men in your family all behave like that.”

She teased Serenity, “It must’ve been hard on you to tolerate Zachary’s bad temper, Serenity.”

Serenity defended her husband with a grin. “Mrs. Marshall, Zachary is actually very nice. I get along well with him, and he’s very tolerant of me as well.”

“I’m good friends with your mother–in–law and Audrey. You can call me Aunt Jules.”

Mrs. Marshall’s name was Julie Marshall, née Miller.

“Aunt Jules.”

Serenity changed the way she addressed Mrs. Marshall.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1332

Chapter 1332

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 status and prominence like Zachary. Ordinary people would not dare to disturb him.

Guests from wealthy families gradually arrived.

Mrs. Stone and his husband came slightly later with their daughter. Clive and his wife were absent.

Alice was pregnant and had terrible morning sickness. Many people were attending the banquet, so there were worries about someone bumping into her. Therefore, Clive strongly disagreed about his wife coming. He was absent as well to accompany his wife back home.

The second son of the Stone family did not do business, so he never participated in any events of the business world.

Therefore, only Mr. and Mrs. Stone came with Elisa.

They went to greet Old Mr. Marshall too.

Old Mr. Marshall did not spot Clive and his wife, so he asked Mrs. Stone, “Why aren’t Clive and Alice here?”

Mrs. Stone smiled and said, “Alice is pregnant, so it’s inconvenient for her to come over. Clive is accompanying her at home. He told me to apologize to you in his stead for his absence tonight.”

Old Mr. Marshall laughed. “They’re all youngsters I’ve watched over as they grew up. How can I be petty about them not coming because of their own matters? Alice being pregnant is good news. It’s better that she doesn’t come. There are too many people here. It’ll be bad if someone bumps into her.

“You must invite me to the baby’s sip and see shower next year.”

Joy filled the Marshalls‘ eyes upon hearing Old Mr. Marshall’s words. They thought he would be able to live for several years more if he kept thinking about the Stone family’s celebration.

Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s for sure. You must come to my house and have a glass of celebratory wine to bless my grandson or granddaughter. You’re the person with the greatest fortune.”

Tania had learned from Mrs. Marshall that Old Mr. Marshall had been unwell recently. He kept talking about his late spouse, who had been deceased for many years. His family was worried that his time would be up soon, especially since he moved his banquet up by half a year.

It was worrisome.

Tania joined the conversation after hearing Old Mr. Marshall talking to Mrs. Stone about the sip and see. She used a complaining tone on purpose and said to Old Mr. Marshall, “You’re only thinking about attending the sip and see shower for Clive’s child. Don’t you wish to attend my granddaughter’s celebration too?”

Old Mr. Marshall laughed. He chided Tania gently, “You’re complaining about me now, huh? I’ll attend all of them. If you have a granddaughter, I’ll definitely go to her sip and see.”

“Just you wait. I’ll definitely have a granddaughter. I have three sons, so I’ll have three daughters–in- law. There’ll be one of them who’ll be able to birth a granddaughter for me.”

Everyone laughed.

If Old Mr. Marshall wished to attend the celebration for Tania’s granddaughter, it would probably not come true even if he lived for a long time.

Who was unaware that the Yorks were like a family of monks? They only had sons and no daughters.

Families who did not have sons were utterly jealous of the Yorks‘ ability to give birth to sons.

However, they did not know about the fervent wish of the Yorks to have a daughter.

That was human nature–those with sons would wish for a daughter, while those with daughters wanted sons. Everyone wanted to have the best of both worlds.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1333

Chapter 1333

After greeting the hosts, everyone started looking for their friends to chat with or discuss business.

At first, Serenity stayed by Zachary’s side. He did not have to go to other people to discuss collaborations as there were many CEOs who wished to collaborate with him.

Serenity watched as Zachary became the spotlight no matter where he went. Everyone revolved around him.

She whispered to her husband, “I overestimated myself when I said I wanted to be on equal standing as you.”

Rather than thinking of being on par with him, running behind him would be good enough for her.

Zachary raised their interlocked hands. He stared into her with smiling eyes and said gently,” We’re holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder now.

“Honey, to me, there’s no distance between us. If there were any, it would be me being a man and you being a woman.”

Serenity smiled. She had learned socializing from Aunt Audrey for some time. She figured out and learned many things along the way and gained more self–confidence.

Zachary had an advantageous starting line. Catching up to him was impossible for her.

However, the fact that she was his wife was permanent. Her in–laws had never objected to their relationship or disliked her. There was no reason for her to bring trouble to herself.

Serenity decided to go with the flow.

She would continue working hard and accept how far her career could progress.

Serenity resolved to confront everything she had to as Mrs. York calmly.

She would accept everything, such as praise, criticism, and sarcastic or hateful remarks.

No one could make everyone like them. No matter how well a person performed, there would always be haters nitpicking. It would be fine as long as a person had a clear conscience. There was no need to care about what others said because their mouths belonged to themselves.

After Serenity got married to Zachary, she reached the prime of her life. Many people were jealous of her.

“Babe, I think I love you so much right now.”

Zachary’s gaze was soft. His eyes were filled with happiness. “I love you very much too.”

“Zachary.”

Josh brought Jasmine over. They had a glass of red wine in their hands. Upon meeting a familiar friend, they greeted each other with a toast.

Zachary and his wife looked toward the lovely couple. He whispered to her, “Don’t hide in a corner and eat like a glutton with Jasmine like you did last year.”

Serenity was speechless.

“You two can be considered a long–married couple, yet you’re still lovey–dovey in public spaces.”

Josh initially wanted to clink glasses with Zachary after walking over. However, after seeing that the married couple did not have a glass of wine in their hands like other people, he called a waiter and handed Zachary a glass of wine. Zachary turned and glanced at Serenity.

“Mrs. York.”

Josh teased Serenity with a smile. “Can our CEO drink tonight?”

Serenity replied, “Of course.”

Why would they ask her that question?

Zachary had many business engagements and often had to drink. It was okay as long as he did not get utterly drunk.

Serenity did not remember herself controlling Zachary’s alcohol intake.

Josh clinked glasses with Zachary with a grin. He said to Serenity, “Looking at your expression just now, it seems like you’ve been taking the blame for our CEO many times. Whenever Zachary attended a business engagement lately, he would say that his wife didn’t allow him to drink and that he would need to sleep in the study if he did.”

Serenity said, “Didn’t I say that only once before?”

She knew that Zachary had used her as an excuse once.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334

It turned out that Zachary had been using Serenity as an excuse for some time.

No wonder he smelt nice and fresh when he came home recently.

Of course, Serenity did not want Zachary to drink so much alcohol. His stomach had been unwell before, and she had spent time nursing him back to health. It would be better if he avoided drinking whenever he could.

However, he deliberately created an image of him being bossed around by his wife…

Zachary held onto Serenity’s waist. He scolded Josh with a smile and said to Jasmine, “You shouldn’t be laughing happily, Ms. Sox. Josh uses you as an excuse too.”

Jasmine said, “I’m okay with it. He can use me as an excuse as much as he wants to as long as he’s healthy. You two are the same. Serenity and I have never been strict and given you guys enough freedom. You’re the ones labeling yourselves as men who’re afraid of their wives.”

Serenity grinned. “They’re not even scared of being ridiculed.”

“No one dares to laugh at me for being afraid of my wife in front of me anyway. They’ll only praise me for spoiling my wife,” Zachary said boldly.

When he was with outsiders, he always put on a straight face and tightened his lips. His eyes were dark, and people’s hearts would feel cold just from his glance. Who would be so silly as to laugh at him for being afraid of his wife in front of him?

Whenever someone mentioned Zachary, everyone would say he was a doting husband who loved Serenity wholeheartedly.

“Zachary and I are good friends. People will only say that we’re birds of a feather that flock together.”

Serenity and Jasmine were speechless.

They truly were the same kind of person.

“You guys can continue chatting. Jasmine and I are going to greet Aunt Audrey.”

Serenity pulled Jasmine and left after speaking.

Zachary watched the two women from behind. He blamed Josh. “Why did you come over and talk to me? See? My wife was snatched away by your fiancée. This is my wife’s first time attending a banquet with me after we got married.”

If it were not for Serenity, he would have left after greeting Old Mr. Marshall.

She had to socialize and blend into his social circle.

He wanted to be her escort. He would not let anyone bully or look down on her.

However, based on her performance, she seemed like a natural.

It was not that she could not blend in; it simply depended on whether she had the heart to do it willingly.

“Your wife was the one who pulled my fiancée away. I only managed to get a fiancée in my thirties. Your wife stole my fiancée before I even had the chance to be lovey–dovey with her. Fortunately, Serenity is a woman, Zachary. If not, the fact that she has known Jasmine for more than ten years is enough to make me jealous of her.”

Zachary chuckled. “I was jealous for a long time back then.”

He had been trying hard to occupy the space in Serenity’s heart too. After putting in effort for so long, he wondered whether his position in her heart had changed.

Serenity’s sister used to be her priority, followed by her nephew, best friends, then him.

Zachary thought about it. He felt that he was tied for third place with Jasmine at most. No, he was second. He would be in second place if he had Sonny in his arms.

He felt satisfied when he thought of it that way.

He never thought of surpassing his sister–in–law’s position in Serenity’s heart. He would not fight for first place with Liberty.

Serenity had been raised single–handedly by her sister. They have been relying on each other for many years. Her sister was like a mother figure to her.

Josh said, “I feel better now.”

“Let’s go and talk to a few CEOS we know. By the way, why isn’t Clive here?” Josh asked after taking a sip of wine.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1335

Chapter 1335

Zachary clinked glasses with Josh, but he did not drink. He replied, “Clive’s wife is pregnant. You didn’t just find out about this. If it were you, would you have brought your wife to such a venue tonight?”

After a moment of silence, Josh said, “I forgot about it. People of no importance are none of my concern. If my Jasmine were pregnant, I wouldn’t even let her walk. I’ll carry her around.”

Zachary found it funny and said, “Being pregnant isn’t the same as falling sick. There’s no need to be so nervous. Pregnant women have to have sufficient exercise too.”

Josh pouted. “You’re talking now, but wait till your wife gets pregnant. If you can maintain the same opinion when that time comes, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“You’re talking as if I don’t have food. I cook for Seren whenever I have time. My cooking skills have leveled up.”

They chatted in low voices as they walked toward the crowd.

Many people raised their glasses in their direction as a form of greeting.

Josh smiled and nodded.

On the other hand, Zachary kept a tense expression and nodded slightly in reply to everyone.

His gaze kept shifting to a specific area in Serenity’s direction.

As usual, Jim and the other bodyguards followed Zachary silently and blocked off young women who wanted to approach him while Missus was not around.

Some still had not given up even though Mr. Zachary was already married.

Maybe they discovered that Mr. Zachary was also a human with desires and that he would fall in love with a woman. Therefore, they wanted to beat Missus.

Serenity did not know that her husband was paying attention to her actions. His eyes were filled with her.

She walked toward Mrs. Stone and Elisa with Jasmine.

Mrs. Stone was talking to other wives of wealthy families. Elisa stood beside her mother with a proper smile. She felt like her face was about to go stiff from smiling.

When she saw her two friends coming over, she felt relief. Her mother could finally take her eyes off her.

Serenity and Jasmine greeted the other ladies first.

“Seren, you came at the right time. Hurry up and take Elisa away. I can’t stand her annoyed look. My palm kept feeling itchy.”

Mrs. Stone smiled and asked her niece to take her daughter away so her daughter would not look so annoyed.

Mrs. Marshall said, “Elisa is showing her true nature. I like this personality of hers. Too bad my son is already married. If not, we would’ve been in–laws.”

“Jules, stop praising her. She can’t be praised. She’ll become full of herself.”

Mrs. Lewis smiled too. “Ms. Stone is a nice lady, after all.”

She was on good terms with the York family and did not interact much with Mrs. Stone in the past. Additionally, she never targeted Elisa because the person Elisa liked was Zachary.

Tania said to Mrs. Stone, “Audrey, if you don’t like Elisa, let her be my daughter. I’m going crazy from wanting a daughter, but my wish never came true.”

Elisa said smugly, “Mom, look at how popular your daughter is.”

Before her mother could reply, she quickly left the ladies with her two friends.

Those women were the most sophisticated wives in Wiltspoon’s elite circle. They were of similar age. They were past the age of talking about jewelry and skincare. The topic they talked about most when they gathered was their children’s marriages.

Elisa was scared they would start introducing a boyfriend to her as their conversation progressed.

Therefore, she made a quick escape.

“Serenity and Elisa are cousins, but they’re closer than biological sisters.”

Mrs. Marshall praised them.

“Jasmine too. I never thought she would become Mrs. Bucham’s future daughter–in–law.”

Mrs. Stone found Mrs. Bucham in the crowd. Mrs. Bucham happened to look over, and they exchanged a smile. Mrs. Stone said, “Jasmine is a good child too. My niece has been friends for many years with her. She has proper values. I like that child.”

Josh had been quick to snatch Jasmine up.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1336

Chapter 1336

Otherwise, even Mrs. Stone would have wanted to bring Jasmine and her son together.

Josh would have thought, ‘I was lucky that Zachary introduced me to Jasmine first.‘

Zachary deserved a reward for playing matchmaker.

Elisa breathed a sigh of relief after getting away from the mothers. She complained that Serenity and Jasmine rescued her too late..

“You’re exaggerating.”

Serenity found it funny. She said, “You even used the word ‘rescue‘.”

“The ladies seemed easy going though.”

Jasmine smiled and said, “Their gazes on you were so gentle.”

Elisa shuddered. She said, “They were looking at me as if I was their daughter–in–law.”

That statement made Serenity and Jasmine laugh.

“Seren, look.”

Elisa suddenly nudged Serenity and stuck her lips out in a direction.

“What’s wrong?”

Serenity and Jasmine looked in the direction Elisa indicated.

Jasmine saw Duncan was with an unfamiliar woman.

Serenity did not find anything unusual because she had seen Duncan and Lily before. She knew Lily was the wife candidate Mrs. Lewis had picked out for Duncan.

“There’s a woman beside Duncan.”

Elisa said, “Don’t he and Liberty…”

Serenity tugged her and whispered, “Elisa, that’s just our guess. It’s not the truth. My sister and Mr. Lewis are just ordinary friends.”

Mrs. Lewis did not like her sister.

Her sister had no feelings for Duncan either.

Serenity did not want people talking about her sister and Duncan.

Elisa understood.

She said, “You’re right. It’s just our guess. Do you know that woman? I realized you weren’t surprised at all.”

“I’ve seen her once. She was eating breakfast with Mr. Lewis at my sister’s store. We said hi to each other.”

“I see.”

Elisa hooked onto Serenity’s arm. She said softly, “I think Duncan isn’t good enough for Liberty because of his scarred face. Mrs. Lewis looks down on her too. It’s better if nothing is going on. between them. With my mom here, Liberty can definitely get married to a better man if she intends to remarry.”

Serenity smiled. “If my sister wishes to get married, I’ll keep an eye out too.”

She used to rely on her sister in the past. Now that she had Zachary and higher status, she wanted to become someone her sister could depend on.

“Let’s go. I’ll introduce you two to my best friend. Her cousin works in education and has established a few private schools. The amount of vegetables students and teachers require each day is huge. Let’s see if we can be in charge of those private schools‘ vegetable supply.”

The main reason Elisa willingly accompanied her parents to the banquet was to discuss business Although they had yet to grow crops, the farms were already underway. They would be able to plant fruits and vegetables there soon.

A business deal could not be decided in mere moments either. After all, the other party alread had a fixed supplier. They were the ones who were showing up out of the blue. However, it woul not hurt to get to know some people.

“Okay.”

Serenity and Jasmine wanted to get to know Elisa’s best friend too.

They followed Elisa.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337

“Mrs. York.”

They were stopped by Mrs. Newman and Camryn just after taking several steps.

Camryn was being dragged by Mrs. Newman.

When Serenity saw Camryn was about to fall, she instinctively stretched her hand to support her.

“Be careful, Camryn.”

Serenity steadied Camryn before looking toward Mrs. Newman.

Mrs. Newman squeezed a smile. “Thank you for helping Camryn, Mrs. York. She can’t see, so she falls easily.”

Elisa said, “She’s blind, yet you keep dragging her.”

Mrs. Newman’s smile faltered.

“I guess the sun will rise from the west tomorrow,” Elisa said sarcastically. She gave Mrs. Newman a sidelong glance. “This is your first time bringing Camryn to a banquet, Mrs. Newman. How rare. Do you guys think the sun will rise from the west tomorrow?”

Elisa’s mockery infuriated Mrs. Newman, but she did not let it show on her face. She maintained her smile and said, “Camryn is blind, and I can’t always be by her side even if I brought her to banquets. I was afraid of her getting into an accident in the past. Moreover, Camryn dislikes these events too, so I didn’t bring her along.

“However, Camryn is no longer young. It’s time for her to socialize and meet people.”

Everyone could sense the meaning behind Mrs. Newman’s words.

It was time to sacrifice the child she had raised for so long.

They glanced at Camryn, who always had a calm expression. She looked pretty after getting all dressed up. If she were not blind, she would have bested Carrie by a landslide.

Elisa was aware of the people’s behavior in that social circle, so she felt it would be difficult for Camryn to marry into a good family. It was not just because Camryn was blind but also her mother, Mrs. Newman. Who would want to be in–laws with Mrs. Newman?

Her partiality could make someone die from anger.

How did Old Mrs York choose Camryn for Callum?

Elisa asked Serenity about it as she was curious. Serenity did not know the answer. Even Jasmine, who had firsthand gossip, did not know the reason.

“What business do you have, Mrs. Newman?”

Serenity did not want to continue wasting time on Mrs. Newman. She asked her directly.

Mrs. Newman looked toward Elisa and Jasmine.

“Jasmine, let’s go and get some food.”

Elisa read the room and left with Jasmine.

Mrs. Newman smiled and said to Serenity, “Mrs. York, let’s take a seat and have a slow chat, shall we?

“You’re considered friends with Camryn anyway.”

Mrs. Newman used Camryn as an excuse.

Serenity glanced at Camryn and said indifferently, “Let’s sit down there and talk.”

Mrs. Newman gestured for her to walk first.

When Serenity guided Camryn, Camryn poked her palm. Serenity understood and whispered, “I’m aware of the situation.

“Why did she bring you here?”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338

Serenity asked Camryn softly, “Is she trying to arrange a marriage for you and some rich man’s son?”

After pressing her lips together, Camryn replied softly, “She won’t let me get married to a rich man. She’ll only give me to someone else. She can give me to anyone who’ll benefit her.”

Serenity was furious upon hearing that.

Sensing her anger, Camryn smiled unexpectedly. She said, “Don’t worry. I can protect myself.” She had a small blade with her wherever she went.

Serenity still wanted to say something, but Camryn poked her palm again. Therefore, she did not say anything else.

Mrs. Newman chose a quiet and relatively remote spot. She gestured to Serenity to sit.

“Do you want anything to eat, Mrs. York? I’ll take some food for you.”

“No, thank you. You can talk about what you want, Mrs. Newman.”

Mrs. Newman laughed sheepishly. She said, “Mrs. York, you and Camryn clicked right away and are friends. Carrie is Camryn’s biological sister. Can you not sue Carrie for Camryn’s sake, Mrs. York?

“I know Carrie made a mistake. She knows what she did wrong now. She’s still young and immature, but don’t worry. I’ll educate her well in the future. I won’t let her offend you again.

“Since Carrie smashed your car, we’re willing to compensate you with two of the same car. If you have any other requests, just let us know. I’ll satisfy anything as long as it’s within my capabilities. Mrs. York, we’re in the same social circle. We see each other so frequently. It’ll look bad if things become awkward.

“Don’t you think so, Mrs. York? Anyone can make mistakes, and it’s better to forgive whenever possible.”

Mrs. Newman secretly pinched Camryn.

Camryn found it painful.

“What did you do to Camryn, Mrs. Newman?”

Serenity saw Camryn grimacing with pain. Her expression darkened. She asked Camryn out of concern, “What did she do to you, Camryn?”

“Mrs. York, Camryn is my daughter. What can I possibly do to her? She might’ve eaten something bad and her stomach’s feeling sick.”

If it were not for her beloved daughter, Mrs. Newman would have refused to talk to a country bumpkin. She hated Camryn more for being scheming and evil. Camryn deliberately made a painful expression in front of Serenity. Was Camryn not letting Serenity know that she, as a mother, was treating her daughter poorly?

“Mom, I never even drank a glass of water since coming here. How could I have an upset

stomach? It’s my thigh that hurts, not my stomach.”

Camryn’s voice was soft, but it made Mrs. Newman want to strangle her to death.

She was angry and did not give Camryn a chance to speak. She said to Serenity, “Mrs. York, your misunderstanding with Carrie arose because of Camryn. Camryn and Carrie are sisters. Their grudges never last overnight, and they’ve reconciled. It’s not good for you, an outsider, to keep holding on to this matter, right?

“We’re willing to compensate you. We’ve also apologized countless times. We still have to meet each other in the future, so I’ll advise you to be more magnanimous. Don’t be so petty. Your journey will be difficult if you offend too many people.”

Mrs. Newman addressed Serenity as Mrs. York, but it was evident through her words that she did not respect Serenity at all. Her disdain for Serenity was bone–deep.

Even if Serenity married into the York family, she was still a country bumpkin to Mrs. Newman.

If it were not for Zachary supporting Serenity, Mrs. Newman would have had a way to get her daughter out even if Serenity sued Carrie.

“Carrie hired someone to harm me. Am I narrow–minded for not forgiving her? Mrs. Newman, I disagree with your thoughts and words.”

“Were you hurt? You didn’t even lose a hair, but my daughter went to prison!”

Serenity sneered. “That’s because I’m skilled in self–defense. What your daughter did was against the law. She spent money to hire someone to hurt me and smash my car. That’s a crime. I wasn’t injured, but does that mean her actions can be erased?

“I won’t accuse your daughter wrongly, but I won’t condone her behavior either. She has to accept the punishment that comes along with what she has done. This is a problem between your daughter and me. It has nothing to do with Camryn.

Mrs. Newman’s expression turned cold. “Serenity Hunt, are you insisting on having my daughter sentenced?”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1339

Chapter 1339

Serenity said seriously, “Mrs. Newman, I’m not insisting on having your daughter sentenced. Your daughter committed a crime. Whether or not she’ll be convicted, I don’t want myself to get hurt anymore. You should know your daughter well. You said she knows her mistake and guarantees not to hire someone to hurt me again.

“You might believe her, but I don’t.”

Mrs. Newman glared at Serenity with a dark expression.

Her husband kept telling her to build a good relationship with Serenity and plead for mercy for their daughter.

Did he think she did not want to build a good relationship with that country bumpkin? Did she not apologize, offer compensation, and plead for mercy for their daughter?

She even asked Camryn to look for Serenity.

However, Serenity was stubborn. She was determined to sue Carrie.

Hatred boiled in Mrs. Newman’s heart. Since Serenity would not make things easier for them, she would not let Serenity live a peaceful life either.

Mrs. Newman stood up and said with a cold expression, “Excuse me, Mrs. York.”

After that, she extended her hand to pull Camryn. She did not want her to be with Serenity.

If it were not for her elder daughter, Carrie would not have harbored a grudge toward Serenity.

“Let’s go, Camryn.”

Just as Mrs. Newman stretched her hand to pull Camryn, Camryn flung her hand away. She said calmly, “I’m blind, so I can’t accompany you to socialize with your circle of madames. I’ll sit here and return home after the banquet ends.”

Mrs. Newman said coldly, “Don’t even think of going home if you don’t accompany me.

“I’m asking you again, Camryn. Are you coming?”

Camryn sat still.

Mrs. Newman sneered and glared at Serenity. She said with a cold smile, “It seems like you’re all grown up now, Camryn.”

After viciously glaring at her elder daughter, Mrs. Newman turned and walked away arrogantly. After she left, Serenity asked concernedly, “Camryn, will she really not allow you to go back home?”

“What’s the difference between whether I return to that home or not? I’m just a transparent person there anyway.”

Camryn laughed self–deprecatingly. When her expression turned calm again, she said to Serenity gently, “Mrs. York…”

“I told you to call me Serenity.”

“Serenity, you should go and be with your friends. I’ll just sit here and listen to the fun.”

Serenity said worriedly, “I’ll bring you to have fun with Jasmine and the rest.”

Mrs. Newman clearly had bad intentions that night. Serenity was worried Mrs. Newman would set Camryn up.

“It’s fine. I’m blind and don’t know them well enough to have a conversation. You guys won’t be able to talk happily if I join in too. Serenity, this is Wiltspoon Hotel and Old Mr. Marshall’s banquet. There are many guests. The top wealthy misters and their wives are all present. The young masters of the York family are here too. No one will dare do harm here.”

Her mother would ask someone to have a look at her at most. After finding a match, her mother would give her to someone else when leaving the hotel.

Serenity thought Camryn’s words made sense. Therefore, she gave a few reminders. “Shout out loud if something happens. Do you want to eat anything? I’ll get some food and drinks for you.”

Camryn smiled and thanked her.

Serenity got up to take food and beverage back for Camryn.

She placed them in front of Camryn and told her what she had taken.

“Thank you, Serenity. You became enemies with them because of me. It was lucky that you were okay. If something had happened to you, I’d feel guilty for the rest of my life.” Aside from Camryn’s aunt and housekeeper, Serenity was the first to help her and treat her unconditionally and sincerely.

“Carrie has to be taught a lesson. Your mom spoiled her rotten. She said you and Carrie are sisters, but did Carrie treat you as one when she tried to drug you and set you up? There’ll be dire consequences if ordinary people get set up without anyone to help us, let alone you.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1340

Chapter 1340

Serenity used to see scenes of people being drugged and set up in novels or TV shows. She did not think that that would actually happen in real life.

Moreover, it was a younger sister drugging her elder sister to ruin her life.

After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “It’s not once or twice that she drugged me.”

Serenity was speechless.

“They’re treating you so poorly. You can move out.”

The risk of living together with them was too huge.

Camryn was silent again before saying angrily, “My father left me that house. Why do I have to move out? The people who are supposed to move out are them! They used to bully me for being a kid, and now they’re bullying me for being blind.”

Serenity’s eyes gleamed. That was a lot of information.

Zachary analyzed the situation for her before. Camryn’s biological father might have been killed. Camryn almost died from being gravely ill when she was sixteen years old, but no one in the Newman family sent her to the hospital. It was obvious that they wanted to let her die.

Did Camryn’s father discover something before he died, which had him make a will and leave many assets to Camryn?

Did those people murder for money?

Or did Camryn know the actual cause of her father’s death? They were probably afraid Camryn would seek to avenge her father, so they wanted her to die.

Camryn was lucky. She happened to be discovered by her aunt, who had married to a place far away and was back to visit her family. Her aunt sent her to the hospital, and she was saved.

However, she lost her sight.

Maybe Camryn had been able to live up till now because of her blindness. She could not see anything or do much. Did those people spare her life because of that?

Serenity thought Camryn was a mystery drama with many questionable points that she could not solve. That made her itch to know the answer.

Serenity held Camryn’s hand. She comforted her. “Camryn, if you know something and have. always been hiding it, you should keep it that way for now. The most important thing is to stay alive. Also, treat your eyes first.”

Camryn felt warmth in her heart. She held Serenity’s hands back and said softly, “I will. I’ve always been holding it in.”

She was unable to look for evidence because she turned blind. She had no choice but to restrain herself.

Serenity patted Camryn’s hands.

“I’m okay. You can go ahead, Serenity.”

Camryn’s emotions calmed very quickly as if the expression of hatred had not appeared on her face at all. She always seemed so calm. It felt like everything was in her grasp.

Actually, she was simply hurt too deeply and numb. She no longer had expectations, and her heart was dead inside. Therefore, she looked like she did not care about anything.

Serenity saw Callum walking over with a glass of red wine. After withdrawing her hand, she said to Camryn, “I’ll leave now. Just call out if anything happens.”

“Okay.”

Serenity stood up and walked away. When she reached Callum, she said to her brother–in–law softly, “Take care of Camryn. Send her home after the banquet ends.

“Did you drink?”

“No.”

The glass of wine in Callum’s hand was just for show. After all, everyone had a glass in their hand. No one would know if he had drunk the wine or not.

“You shouldn’t drink then. I’ll be more at ease if you send her back personally.”

“Thank you for being concerned for my wife, Serenity.”

Serenity chuckled. “You’re calling her your wife already. You should consider whether you’ve fulfilled the responsibility of being a husband.”
