“Who is she without Mr. York?” Mrs. Newman couldn’t bring herself to hold a grudge against Zachary; she merely felt that Serenity was exploiting her influential connections. Serenity was using Zachary’s status to dominate the Newman family. Mr. Newman paused before responding, “There’s no point in discussing it now. We have no control over whom he marries. The only thing we can say is that she’s fortunate.”
Once Zachary publicly acknowledged his relationship with Serenity, everyone learned that Old Mrs. York was the one who initially chose Serenity for him. She had urged Zachary to marry Serenity as a way to honor her. However, as they grew closer, Zachary developed feelings for her. Serenity was indeed fortunate to have won Zachary’s love. If he hadn’t loved her, their marriage of convenience would have been short-lived; Zachary would never allow a woman he didn’t love to hold the title of his wife, and the York family would not permit him to remain single indefinitely.
Ultimately, it all boiled down to how lucky Serenity was. She had managed to make Zachary fall in love with her and cherish her. “Yes, she’s incredibly lucky. She’s the luckiest girl I’ve ever seen. Hubby, we need to find a way to get Carrie into the York family once she’s released from jail. I often attend events with Carrie and feel that the only suitable young men for her are the other sons of the York and Stone families.” Clive had been married for many years, but the second son of the Stone family, Anthony, was still available.
Mrs. Newman dreamed of her cherished daughter marrying into a prestigious family, ideally the York or Stone families. She favored the York family since they had more sons, increasing the chances. “Serenity is already the eldest Mrs. York in her generation. If you want—”
“Carrie is also set to marry into the York family; do you want Serenity to always have control over her?”
Mrs. Newman opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words.
After a moment, she replied, “The other sons of the York family aren’t actually Zachary York’s brothers; they’re his cousins! While the family resides together at Wildridge Manor, their villas are separate. How could Serenity possibly exert control over Carrie?”
“Zachary is the head of the family, so his wife will hold the title of lady of the family. The York family operates as a united front. With Zachary in charge, don’t you think our daughter would face oppression if she married into that family? Furthermore, we still don’t know if our daughter will even have the opportunity to marry into that family.”
