Chapter 1338
Married at First Sight
Serenity asked Camryn softly, âIs she trying to arrange a marriage for you and some rich manâs son?â
After pressing her lips together, Camryn replied softly, âShe wonât let me get married to a rich man.
Sheâll only give me to someone else. She can give me to anyone whoâll benefit her.â
Serenity was furious upon hearing that.
Sensing her anger, Camryn smiled unexpectedly. She said, âDonât worry. I can protect myself.â 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.
âDo you want anything to eat, Mrs. York? Iâll take some food for you.â
âNo, thank you. You can talk about what you want, Mrs. Newman.â
Mrs. Newman laughed sheepishly. She said, âMrs. York, you and Camryn clicked right away and are friends. Carrie is Camrynâs biological sister. Can you not sue Carrie for Camrynâs sake, Mrs. York?
âI know Carrie made a mistake. She knows what she did wrong now. Sheâs still young and immature, but donât worry. Iâll educate her well in the future. I wonât let her offend you again.
âSince Carrie smashed your car, weâre willing to compensate you with two of the same car. If you have any other requests, just let us know. Iâll satisfy anything as long as itâs within my capabilities. Mrs. York, weâre in the same social circle. We see each other so frequently. Itâll look bad if things become awkward.
âDonât you think so, Mrs. York? Anyone can make mistakes, and itâs better to forgive whenever possible.â
Mrs. Newman secretly pinched Camryn.
Camryn found it painful.
âWhat did you do to Camryn, Mrs. Newman?â
Serenity saw Camryn grimacing with pain. Her expression darkened. She asked Camryn out of concern, âWhat did she do to you, Camryn?â
âMrs. York, Camryn is my daughter. What can I possibly do to her? She mightâve eaten something bad and her stomachâs feeling sick.â
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?
âMom, I never even drank a glass of water since coming here. How could I have an upset stomach? Itâs my thigh that hurts, not my stomach.â
Camrynâs 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, âMrs. York, your misunderstanding with Carrie arose because of Camryn. Camryn and Carrie are sisters. Their grudges never last overnight, and theyâve reconciled. Itâs not good for you, an outsider, to keep holding on to this matter, right?
âWeâre willing to compensate you. Weâve also apologized countless times. We still have to meet each other in the future, so Iâll advise you to be more magnanimous. Donât be so petty. Your journey will be difficult if you offend too many people.â
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 boneâdeep.
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.
âCarrie hired someone to harm me. Am I narrowâminded for not forgiving her? Mrs. Newman, I disagree with your thoughts and words.â
âWere you hurt? You didnât even lose a hair, but my daughter went to prison!â
Serenity sneered. âThatâs because Iâm skilled in selfâdefense. What your daughter did was against the law. She spent money to hire someone to hurt me and smash my car. Thatâs a crime. I wasnât injured, but does that mean her actions can be erased?
âI wonât accuse your daughter wrongly, but I wonât 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. Newmanâs expression turned cold. âSerenity Hunt, are you insisting on having my daughter sentenced?â
