‘Til arrange for someone to go to your hometown to talk to the village chief about contracting the fields tomorrow. I’ll also help find out what those relatives of yours are up to these days.”
“Sure.”
Jasmine and Serena let Elisa take the lead for the investment project. With Elisa’s background, she grew up in a much better environment than Serena and Jasmine did, so she was best suited to lead the way.
“I’ll ask my best friend out to have coffee with you guys another day so you can get to know each other. She’s in a bad mood after breaking up, so she needs to make cheerful friends like you and Jasmine.”
Elisa’s best friend was also a lady from a wealthy family, but she kept a low profile so no one knew who she was. Elisa felt that her best friend could definitely become friends with Serena and the others.
“Sure. Go accompany your bestie. Breaking up is no big deal. There are plenty of good men in the world.”
“She’s been dating her boyfriend for several years and was already discussing marriage.
It’s normal for her to feel sad after breaking up. I’ll go now, Seren. I have to see Cece.”
Elisa was worried about her best friend and quickly left the bookstore.
After Serena prepared a loving dinner for Zack, she packed it in an insulated lunch box and said to Jasmine, “I’ll send the food over to him and come back to watch the shop. It’s not after work hours yet, so your boyfriend shouldn’t be here yet.”
“No problem. Go ahead, I’ll watch the store.”
Jasmine agreed easily.
A few minutes later, Serena drove away from Wiltspoon School. As there was no time to buy other gifts, she thought of simply getting a bouquet of flowers for Zack. Then, she thought of the flower store owned by Camryn.
The flower store was downtown. She would be able to reach Camryn’s flower store if she took a minor detour.
Thus, that was what she did.
After driving less than ten minutes, she reached downtown and slowed down to find
Spring Blossoms. It was not hard to find. Camryn’s flower shop was right by the street, so it was easy to spot.
Serena slowly parked the car in front of the flower store. Just as she was about to get out of the car, someone honked at her from behind.
She did not violate any traffic laws by parking there, so she did not take the honking to heart and opened the door to get out of the car.
The person who honked at her also got out of the car and yelled at her.” Didn’t you hear me honk? I want to park there, so hurry up and move your car away… It’s you?”
The person who kept honking at Serena was Carrie, Camryn’s half-sister. She had a conflict with Serena when they first met.
“Move your car. I want to park there!”
Carrie was still extremely arrogant after recognizing Serena. In her eyes, Serena was just a country bumpkin.
As her mother said, a country bumpkin would always remain a country bumpkin.
Serena would never be able to join the upper crust. It would be time for her to cry after her novelty ran out and Mr. York got tired of her.
“Do you own this parking space? Is your car the only one that can park here?”
Serena also had a problem with Carrie, so she did not budge an inch.
She did not have a good impression of Carrie at all.
Carrie choked and said loudly, “This is the front of Camryn’s store. I’m her sister, so I naturally should be able to park here.”
“Oh, so you’re also fully aware that Ms. Camryn is your sister? What did you do to your sister on the night of the Dowling family’s banquet?”
Carrie was spoiled by her parents and was used to bullying Camryn for fun. She said righteously, “That mole rat is just for me to make fun of!”
Serena really wanted to teach her a lesson.
Enter title…
How could there be a sister like that?
No, she should say that it was Mr. and Mrs. Newman who did not educate their daughter well.
Camryn was not born blind. She became blind because of a serious illness she contracted when she was sixteen. However, Mrs. Newman was cruel and did not care about her, and Mr. Newman was so busy with work that he rarely went home. Camryn got so sick that she almost lost her life. It was only when a relative visited the family and saw Camryn sick that she hurriedly sent Camryn to the hospital.
The doctors took more than ten hours to perform emergency care on her, which saved her life. However, she paid the price with her eyes. Even though her eyes looked like a normal person’s, she could no longer see.
Serena and Zack guessed that Camryn was just pretending to be blind, or she was blind before but recovered her sight without letting anyone know. However, they did not have proof.
No matter what, Serena was full of sympathy toward her future sister-in-law.
Grandma May said that as the eldest missus of the York family, she had to protect her younger sisters-in-law. That was her responsibility as the eldest, and the responsibility of the wife of the next family head.
“I’m warning you, bumpkin. If you don’t give up your parking space, don’t blame me for crashing your stupid car.”
Carrie’s eyes were full of disgust when she saw Serena driving a national MPV worth only a hundred thousand. How could the missus of the York family not even have a proper car? She must not be liked by her in-laws.
What was the York family? A man of Zack York’s status should be matched with ladies like Carrie. A country bumpkin like Serena was not even worthy of holding
Zack’s shoes.
Mrs. Newman hated Serena because the latter made a fool of her precious daughter during the Dowling family banquet. She was annoyed that Serena meddled and helped
Camryn, so she ran her mouth about Serena to Carrie, saying that Serena followed
Mrs. Stone to the banquet that night because she was not acknowledged by the Yorks.
The ladies of the York family could not be bothered with Serena and were not willing to let her socialize with their friends and help introduce her to high society. Thus, Serena had no choice but to follow Mrs. Stone to the banquet.
Mrs. Newman selectively did not tell her daughter about Tania defending Serena.
“How dare you try to compete with me for parking space when you’re driving such a useless car? I’m telling you, if you scratch my car, you won’t be able to afford to pay for the repairs even if you sell your body. Do you know how much my car is worth? It costs several million!”
The Newman family was secretly rich with a fortune of more than a billion. They were ranked among the top in Wiltspoon.
Carrie was Mr. Newman’s firstborn. Even though she was a girl, he still treasured her dearly. She got everything she asked for growing up, and he gave her a luxury car worth millions when she turned eighteen.
“First come, first serve. I came here, so I parked here first. Why should I give up my spot to you? If you crash my car, I’ll make sure you pay for a new one. I was just thinking about getting a new car anyway.”
“I won’t pay you a single penny even after I turn your car into scrap metal,” Carrie said loudly.
“Carrie Newman!”
Camryn, who was manning the store inside, heard the argument at the entrance and slowly walked out with her white cane.
Serena looked at her and saw that she was the same as that night. She wore large black sunglasses so that her eyes were hidden, and her stunning face was still as expressionless as that night.
“What are you screaming at?”
Camryn was totally familiar with her own territory. When she heard the sound of two people quarreling, she determined their positions and walked up to Serena, asking warmly, “Are you Mrs. York?”
“What Mrs. York? That’s just a hillbilly. Don’t bother flattering her, mole rat. Just you wait.
A country bumpkin like her will be chased out of the York family soon. I don’t believe that
Mr. York actually likes a country bumpkin like her.
