He remarked, “That’s not a nice name, but here’s a random fact to show I do pay attention to my daughter-in-law: Crab is likely Serenity’s favorite food. When Zack brought her to his estate, he instructed the butler to deliver the freshest seafood for a seafood feast in her honor.”
“I won’t interfere in my son and daughter-in-law’s marriage, but I won’t stay silent when someone speaks poorly of my daughter-in-law to me.”
“Yes, darling! Make them regret their words!”
Liam believed he didn’t need to intervene, confident that his son would keep Serenity safe. However, since his wife was upset, he felt it best to support her sentiments. It was the only way for her to vent her frustrations.
Mrs. Walker’s call drove Tania to her breaking point. Not only did Tania give Mrs. Walker a stern talking-to, but she also blocked her number. Mrs. Walker thought she could win Tania over, but Tania’s reaction left her taken aback.
Tania was quite protective of her daughter-in-law. The conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law appeared nonexistent.
Mrs. Walker had a loose tongue; she shared the entire incident with the other women in her close-knit circle, and soon word spread among the elite of Wiltspoon. No one dared to speak ill of Serenity in Tania’s presence.
Unless, of course, they wanted their numbers blocked.
Regardless of Serenity’s background and behavior, she was the wife of the wealthiest heir. While Tania might not have been fond of her daughter-in-law, she would not allow anyone to voice that opinion openly. Any insult aimed at Serenity felt like a personal affront to Tania. Naturally, she was going to be upset.
Meanwhile, Mr. Newman stood outside his daughter’s bedroom at the Newman residence. He waited for his wife to exit before asking with concern,
“Has Carrie’s fever decreased?”
“The fever has decreased, but she’s still groggy. I advised her to rest.”
Last night, Mrs. Newman placed Carrie in an ice water bath upon returning home. It was only then that the child began to improve.
