Tania had the intention to make her daughter-in-law the most dazzling woman in the room at the company’s annual dinner. The evening gown she selected for Serena was the most beautiful one. Thanks to Serena’s mien, she was able to flaunt the selling points of the dress.
Tania stared at Serena, who looked like a different person when she changed into the evening dress. She commented, “Seren, you bear a pretty decent aura. You’ll definitely become a celebrity if you’re willing to learn etiquette.”
“Mom, my goal is to earn more money to buy a house. I’m not interested in becoming a celebrity. Celebrities have strong family backgrounds whereas I’m just a small bookseller who relies on collaboration with a school to earn a living. How would I dare dream of something that impossible?”
“Zack already has two houses…”
Honestly, Tania wanted to say but kept it to herself, ‘My son doesn’t have much of anything but money and houses.’
“I want to buy a house in a school district in advance.”
Tania looked at Serena and smiled. “That’s good. Buy a house in a school catchment area in advance and renovate it. When you and Zack have children in the future, it’ll be convenient to send them to school.”
Serena’s words let Tania know that Zack and Serena were a real couple, not just one on paper.
Tania appeared to be smiling but she was sighing internally.
It seemed that Serena was going to be her daughter-in-law for real and this fact is indisputable.
In the future, she would give more guidance to her daughter-in-law.
It would not be easy to be the eldest daughter-in-law in the family.
Not only that, but Serena was also the wife of the man who was in charge of the next generation of the York family.
The York family had nine sons in Zack’s generation, and there was no way all nine of them would marry a woman without an elite family background as Zack did. In the future, it would depend on Serena whether she could get along with her sisters- in-law with family statuses countless times better than hers and not be suppressed by them.
Tania believed in her mother-in-law’s foresight and felt that Serena could bear the burden of being the wife of the next man in charge of the York family. However, she was still of the opinion that Serena had a lot to learn.
Since her son had not yet confessed everything to Serena, Tania was not in a position to train Serena to become the wife of the head of the family without having a strong family background herself.
It was like Audrey.
Audrey was Serena’s aunt and would not sit idly by when Serena’s identity as the York family’s eldest daughter-in-law was exposed in the future. Compared to Tania who was Serena’s mother-in-law, Audrey would definitely be more anxious and want to make Serena stronger. That eased Tania’s worry a little.
“We’ll take this one. I guarantee Zack will be floored when he sees you in it.”
Tania decided to get Serena the dress that she was wearing now.
There were several other gowns that she thought were good after Serena tried them on earlier, so she bought those as well.
After buying the dresses, Tania took Serena to buy high heels.
Serena had to drive often and did not wear high heels, but now that she was attending the company’s annual dinner, she had to wear a pair of heels.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shopped for most of the day and bought a lot of things.
Serena bought several new clothes for Zack with her own money. When he forced her to act domineering, she said she would buy him a few more sets of clothes so he could only wear the clothes she bought for him in the future.
She had yet to do as she said after he returned from his business trip.
Since she was on a shopping spree today, she could finally keep her word.
Tania saw Serena buy a couple of sets of suits worth twenty thousand each for Zack. They were very expensive clothes for ordinary people.
Serena really was treating Zack well!
Serena and Tania got into the car with bags large and small before Serena drove her mother-in-law home.
Unbeknownst to Serena, a luxury car came to a stop. The person in the car wound down the window to look at Serena’s car in the distance now, and asked her daughter-in-law who was beside her, “Alice, was one of those two women Seren?”
Alice nodded affirmatively.
“It’s Seren.”
“Was that woman with her the wife of the current head of the Yorks, Zack’s mother?”
Audrey’s eyes were very sharp.
The York and Stone families did not see eye-to-eye. Audrey and Tania would oppose each other when they met, so Audrey could recognize Tania like the back of her hand.
Just now, she saw her niece with Tania in the same car from a distance and urgently asked her daughter-in-law to stop so she could see clearly. It really was Tania!
Why was her niece with Tania?
“Mom, that person just looks like Mrs. York. She’s not her. I didn’t get a good look at her face since it’s a bit far away.”
Alice did not dare speak in absolute terms.
“It’s her. I’m sure it’s her. We’ve been at each other’s neck for so many years that I would recognize her even if she was cremated into ashes. Seren and Tania were together, and they seem to have a very cordial relationship. Seren’s husband’s, last name is also York…’
Audrey instantly thought of her nephew-in-law whom she had overlooked.
Come to think of it, she never seemed to have asked for his name.
“Alice, do you think Serena’s husband is Zack? Or his younger brother? No, Zack’s brothers don’t work at York Corporation, but Serena’s husband does. It must be Zack then.”
Alice’s heart seized, but she tried to calm down, afraid that her mother-in-law would find out that her husband and herself discovered long ago that Zack was
Serena’s husband.
Audrey did not notice Alice’s reaction and continued to analyze, “If Zack is Serena’s husband, many things would make sense now. It’s no wonder her husband went on a business trip as soon as the DNA results came out.
“He had a guilty conscience and used a business trip as an excuse to avoid us.”
At that time, Audrey had been preoccupied with her niece because she had just found them, so she did not ask much about her nephew-in-law. She did not make a big deal out of it.
After the deduction, Audrey immediately took out her cell phone and called Serena.
Serena was driving, but when she saw that it was a call from her aunt, she answered it anyway.
“Aunt Audrey.”
“Seren, where are you now? I want to go shopping but there’s no one to accompany me. Can you come with me?”
Alice, on the other hand, hurriedly sent a message to her husband while her mother-in -law was on the phone.
[Clive, Mom knows that Serena’s husband is Zack.]
Clive quickly replied upon seeing the message: [How did she find out?]
He had not told his parents yet.
[We saw Serena and Mrs. York shopping outside together. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked on good terms and bought a lot of things.]
Clive was speechless.
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
Tania rarely went out shopping. If she needed something, she would tell the brand to make a delivery straight to her home. However, the one time she came out today, she was seen by Audrey.
