The reason she did not show up in public with her daughter–in–law often was because she was an open–minded mother–in–law and would not take up her daughter–in–law’s time with her son.
As a mother, her child’s happiness came first.
Zack’s happiness was given to him by Serena.
When he was with Serena, he was just an ordinary man who felt emotions like joy and anger.
Naturally, she would want Zack to spend more time with Serena. How could she lord over her daughter–in–law?
“You think too much, Dad. If I’m going to beg anyone to come back, I’ll only beg Seren.”
Liam was speechless.
“You little brat.”
“I’m a brat, but you’re no better. I’m your son and followed your example.”
Liam paused before stating, “Men who have a wife to dote over them are really different. In the past, you never so much as made a peep when you were lashed. Look how sharp–tongued you’ve become now.
“Serena really is a good daughter–in–law!”
She was the person who changed his son.
“Yes, my wife trained me well.”
Liam opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
His son was even more henpecked than he was.
While the father and son chatted, the noblest pair of mother–in–law and daughter–in–law in Wiltspoon descended the stairs.
Zack recognized at a glance that the jewelry Serena was wearing was not from him. He knew that his mother gave it to her deliberately without having to ask.
Indeed, Tania went upstairs to see her daughter–in–law put on makeup just to give her the set of jewelry stuffed in her bag to her daughter–in–law.
In her words, the jewelry set was too bright for someone of her age, so it was more suitable for Serena.
Tania was born and raised in a wealthy family and received a lot of jewelry since she was a child. After she married into the York family, she was deeply favored by her husband, who also gave her a lot of jewelry. Her mother–in–law also presented her with several sets of expensive jewelry when she gave birth to Zack.
Tania did not have a daughter, so her precious jewelry was naturally for her daughter–in–law. Serena was her only daughter–in–law now, so her giving Serena jewelry was the same as how Grandma May gave her a set of jewelry when she gave birth to Zack
Serena, who was well–trained by Audrey after being taken to several banquets previously, changed into a fancy dress, put on light makeup, and wore the jewelry her mother–in–law gifted her. She looked so beautiful and dignified that Zack was stunned at the sight of her.
Liam snubbed his son in his heart. His son was destined to be controlled by Serena for the rest of his life.
Serena would retort if she heard Liam’s thoughts, “I think I’m the one being controlled for the rest of my life.”
“Babe, look at the jewelry Mom gave me. Does it look good?”
Zack nodded. “Yes, but I think you’ll look better in the jewelry that I gave you.’
Tania laughed and scolded him, “Are you going to be jealous of your own mother? Seren, you’re the only one who can tolerate how petty he is.”
Serena gave her husband a look.
She was not the one calling him petty. It was his own mother.
A mother knew her son best. Her mother–in–law was telling the truth.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
Liam stood and called out to his wife, ready to leave for Wiltspoon Hotel.
“Dad, Zack hasn’t changed his clothes yet.”
Liam turned to his son and said, “Why are you still standing there like a wooden block? You really are like a wooden block. You don’t move unless someone pushes you. Only someone like Serena can tolerate a wooden block like you.
The husband and wife praised their daughter–in–law while stepping over their son.
Zack grumbled, “I don’t know which one of us is your real child.” Then, he stood up and went upstairs to get changed.
Serena felt like her in–laws were the best in–laws in the world.
Zack changed swiftly. He did not put on his coat or his tie and carried them in his hands when he came downstairs.
Liam pulled his wife outside.
He could not stand to see his arrogant and jealous son.
Serena walked over naturally, took the coat from her husband’s hands, and helped him put it or Then, she started tying his tie.
After straightening his clothes, she took a step back and looked at him, praising, “As expected a mannequin–you look good no matter what you wear.”
Then, she took his arm and smiled. “Let’s not keep your parents waiting.”
“You’re not allowed to sleep in the guest room tonight.”
“I won’t.”
Serena could not help but laugh. “I was just scaring you.”
She had no choice. It was the only way she could deal with this man.
With Old Mr. Marshall’s status in Wiltspoon, even Zack had to show him full respect.
His business receptions were always extravagant and guests felt honored to be invited to a banquet he hosted.
Wiltspoon Hotel was closed for business since the very
The venue had been set up.
afternoon.
As soon as the sky darkened, some small–time bosses arrived at the hotel.
They felt that their status was lower, so they would be able to chat a little with the Marshall family if they arrived earlier. It would be their fortune if they managed to meet Old Mr. Marshall.
If they came late, there would be too many people, and the venue would be full of influential bosses. Small–timers like them would be marginalized.
In the past, Zack did not arrive until it was very late.
If he showed up, Clive would not appear.
Tonight, many people wondered whether the two most exceptional CEOs in Wiltspoon would appear together.
Would the new Mrs. York accompany Mr. York to the banquet?
Although Mrs. York had been very active in the upper–class circles recently, she was always escorted by her aunt, Mrs. Stone.
Thus, there were many rumors that Mrs. York did not get along with her mother–in–law because she never attended a banquet with her mother-in-law. Her mother–in–law did not want to train her, so she went to Mrs. Stone instead.
Although Tania took Serena shopping together after hearing those rumors to show that they got along very well, there were still many whispers behind their backs.
The guests kept coming.
Except for Kevin and Grandma May who were in Jensburg, as well as the younger members who had not debuted in society yet, Zack and his family arrived one after another.
Callum came with his parents.
After greeting the Marshalls and chatting with his acquaintances, he went in front of the hotel and waited.
