Married at First Sight Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008

“Wealthy families have deep waters. They are willing to do anything to protect their interests, but don’t worry, Seren. Our family isn’t like that. Even if I were to pay someone in our family to take my place as the head, they wouldn’t accept,” Zachary assured her.

Serenity trusted Zachary’s words.

She had met her in-laws several times, and whether it was the older or younger generation, they were all genuinely good people. The only one who seemed a bit biased against her was her mother-in-law, but even she had never attempted to harm Serenity.

When Serenity was upset with Zachary, her mother-in-law chose to accompany Grandma May to apologize to her instead of seizing the chance to encourage Zachary to divorce her.

Perhaps for Tania, while she cared about her daughter-in-law’s background, her son’s feelings and happiness took precedence.

“Mrs. Newman was glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me. I wonder if she’ll speak poorly of me to her husband when she gets home. Zachary, is the Newman family powerful? Did I cause you any trouble by offending Mrs. Newman and her daughter?”

Zachary finished massaging her legs and sat beside her. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his embrace, he said confidently, “Not to brag, but aside from your aunt’s family, no other family in Wiltspoon can compete with the York family.

“If it comes down to it, even your aunt’s family would struggle against the Yorks. The York family is large, cohesive, and has connections with numerous other families. Being an enemy of the York family means being an enemy to several powerful families at once.

“The Newmans are insignificant. They don’t even operate their business in Wiltspoon. Although Wiltspoon is where they established their company, I…

They did not look down on the Newmans and had conducted investigations beforehand. The family possesses assets worth around a billion, yet they have always maintained a low profile.

“If it weren’t for Mrs. Newman marrying her brother-in-law just a hundred days after her husband’s death, no one would even remember that the Newman family existed.”

The Newmans likely could not remain inconspicuous any longer, especially with an unruly daughter like Carrie. The events that unfolded at the Dowling family banquet had likely already circulated throughout Wiltspoon’s high society.

Serenity recalled how the attendees at the banquet had coldly observed the situation, as if they were accustomed to such scenes. Carrie must have bullied Camryn on numerous occasions in the past.

Camryn had mentioned that her family had never really sought to elevate themselves above her.

Only then did Serenity feel relieved enough to let her go. Even if she and Elisa had not intervened that night, she believed Camryn would manage to navigate the situation successfully.

“You’re quite well-informed,” Zachary remarked. He kissed her on the cheek and added warmly, “In my position, I must remain vigilant for any formidable adversaries that could eliminate me before I can respond. That’s why I constantly assess my territory for potential threats.

“Even if I can’t make York Corporation thrive during my tenure, I at least need to maintain its status. Fortunately, I haven’t disappointed my elders in this regard. York Corporation is performing well under my leadership.”

It was doing significantly better than it had under his father’s management.

His goal was to identify and nurture an heir early on. Once the heir was ready to take over, Zachary planned to step back and enjoy a peaceful life with his wife.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable candidate from the next generation.

His grandmother was still hoping they would have a child soon. Zachary wanted to become a father now; he desired a child as adorable as Sonny. Whether the baby was a girl or a boy didn’t matter to him. As long as the child belonged to Seren and him, he would love them equally.
