Grandma May said, “They don’t know what car I use, but they stopped your mother–in- law once, as well as your second aunt–in–law.”
Seeing Serena’s dark expression, she quickly comforted her. “We all know what kind of people they are. They’re asking for a bride price now, but their true intention is to disgust us with you so you’d have a bad time in our family.
“We can still see through those little plans of theirs. Don’t worry, Seren. We didn’t let them get any benefits. When they intercepted your mother–in–law’s car, she called the police directly and said someone was blocking the road and trying to rob her.”
“That granddad of yours is really shameless. He lay on the ground saying that he was hit, but he didn’t expect the road to be monitored by surveillance. The police came and checked the surveillance, then found out that he lay on the ground himself. They criticized him and lectured him, then ordered his children and grandchildren to take him away.
“The most hateful thing was that they brought reporters to dress as their accomplices and secretly took videos, but they were also exposed. The videos they took were deleted, but news about this would get out either way. You don’t have to worry about it.
“Everyone in Wiltspoon knows what kind of people they are and how they’ve treated you and your sister. I’m telling you this because I don’t think they’ll give up even after being reprimanded by the police. They might come up with some plot against you. and your sister, but mostly against you.”
That was because Serena was now the eldest missus of the York family.
Her relatives were trying their best now to break up Serena and Zack so she could not stay in the York family. They wanted Serena to have an unhappy life in her husband’s home.
They were punished by Zack and lost their jobs and businesses. Now, the whole family was surviving purely on their savings. They could not go up against Zack, so they aimed all their troubles at Serena.
Even if Serena was the missus of the York family, it could not erase their relationship as relatives.
No matter how amazing Zack was, he could not eliminate a large family of dozens. As long as Zack could not kill them, they were fearless and would seize any opportunity to pester and annoy Serena.
Threats and warnings were useless against those people.
Even if the cops were called, they did not exactly do anything illegal, so the police could only issue them a warning at most.
It was said that it was better to offend a gentleman than a villain.
The people from her hometown were a bunch of villains. They were shameless and insidious.
Serena said coldly, “I’m not afraid, Nana. If they dare appear in front of me, I’ll chase them away with a broom. We’ve driven them away so many times, so they went to you to cause trouble because they know they won’t get any benefits from me.”
If they thought the York family would give them money because they could not stand. the annoyance, they could continue dreaming!
“Nana, Zack is still at home. I’ll see you off at the stairs, and then you can go upstairs yourself. I’m going to the store.”
“No need for that. You can just go to work. It’s not like I don’t know the way. I’ll go upstairs by myself.”
Grandma May refused Serena’s offer to send her to the block.
Serena still helped the old woman to pull her suitcase, then called Zack and told him that his nana was here.
She only left when she saw Jim and the others.
She remembered the first time she saw Jim and the other bodyguards. She had thought that they lived nearby…
After leaving Brynfield, Serena noticed that someone was secretly following her.
She remained calm. With her familiarity with the surroundings, she did not take the open roads and instead picked small alleyways, taking left and right turns until she lost the person following her.
She thought it was the paparazzi.
Although her identity as the eldest missus of the York family was exposed, she was not disturbed by the media. She knew in her heart that it was thanks to Zack. No one dared come up to her openly because he did not allow the media to disturb her.
However, it was hard to prevent the paparazzi from following her and secretly taking pictures of her.
Everyone in Wiltspoon knew she was Mrs. York now, but how did Zack and her relationship start, and how did they get along in their everyday lives? That was something many people wanted to know.
If they could sneak some photos of her and Zack’s private life, they could satisfy the curiosity of the people.
When she got back to Wiltspoon School, Jasmine had already opened up the shop. Mrs. Lane was there too.
Since Serena and Zack lived separately, Mrs. Lane went back to Brynfield daily to clean up and water the flowers on the balcony. She was no longer staying there and instead went back to the manor, the place she originally lived.
Sam, the housekeeper who had returned from his leave, gave Mrs. Lane a car for her convenience.
“Missus.”
Mrs. Lane had just finished mopping the floor when she saw Serena coming. She greeted the latter respectfully.
“You can just call me Ms. Hunt like before, Mrs. Lane. Don’t call me Missus. It sounds weird to me.”
She did not put on airs in front of Mrs. Lane.
Mrs. Lane did not think it was appropriate and said, “Mr. Zack will deduct my bonus if he finds out.
“You’ll get used to it after hearing it more on a daily basis.”
Serena was speechless. All Zack knew was how to threaten people.
She entered the store.
Jasmine saw her enter and checked her out from top to bottom.
“What? Don’t you recognize me?”
Jasmine laughed. “You look good today. You look to be in good spirits, and your mood seems pleasant. Did something happen?”
“Yep, I met a hot stud by coincidence. He’s way more handsome than Zack.”
Jasmine smiled cheekily. “There’s no way that’s possible. There’s no man in Wiltspoon who’s better looking than your husband. Even Josh isn’t as attractive as he is.”
Josh was a busybody. That was one of his flaws.
However, Jasmine liked that he was a busybody. She was one herself.
When the two got together, they could talk about anyone.
“Did you make up with Mr. York? It’s been so long, and I notice your anger has subsided. Since you’re not angry anymore, just make up with him. Josh looks like he’s going to die from his headaches. He said that Mr. York torments everyone in the company till they’re about to burst into tears.”
Serena said indifferently, “He tortures himself and others as well.”
Case in point–his gastritis.
She just sent him to the hospital to see a doctor last night.
Serena did not tell her best friend about that.
“By the way, when is Liberty’s store opening for business? I told my family in the group chat to go to her store to support her business on her opening day.”
Serena was incredibly grateful.
Her best friend was really impressive.
She was fortunate to have Jasmine as her best friend in her life.
“She’s opening next Monday. Her main demographic is the workers in that area, so she chose Monday. People get tired of playing over the weekends and won’t feel like cooking breakfasts at the start of the week, so they’ll choose to eat out.”
Jasmine took note of the time of Liberty’s breakfast store opening.
“I’ll be going over to help on that day.”
Jasmine said, “Of course. Do you need my help too?”
Serena smiled. “Mrs. Lane and I should be enough.”
The store her sister rented was not large. If too many people went to help, it would look crowded with the customers coming in to have breakfast.
While the two friends chatted, two–no, three people walked in
One of them was Noah, Serena’s youngest cousin. He tried stopping Serena’s car in the middle of the night last year and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she sent him to the police station.
He was released after fifteen days of detention, but he did not repent and instead hated Serena with a passion.
