“Camryn.” After glaring fiercely at her elder daughter, Mrs. Newman walked away with an air of arrogance. Once she was gone, Serenity asked with concern, “Camryn, will she really not let you go back home?”
“What difference does it make if I go back home or not? I’m just invisible there anyway.”
Camryn let out a self-deprecating laugh. When her expression returned to calm, she gently addressed Serenity, “Mrs. York…”
“I told you to call me Serenity.”
“Serenity, you should go spend time with your friends. I’ll just sit here and enjoy the atmosphere.”
Serenity replied anxiously, “I’ll bring you along to have fun with Jasmine and the others.”
Mrs. Newman clearly had ill intentions that night, and Serenity was worried she might set Camryn up.
“It’s okay. I’m blind and don’t know them well enough to engage in conversation. You all won’t be able to enjoy yourselves if I join in. Besides, this is Wiltspoon Hotel, and Old Mr. Marshall’s banquet has many guests. The wealthiest individuals and their spouses are present, along with the young masters of the York family. No one would dare cause trouble here.”
Her mother would likely just ask someone to keep an eye on her, and after finding a match, would hand her off to someone else when leaving the hotel.
Serenity found Camryn’s reasoning valid and offered a few reminders. “Shout loudly if anything happens. Do you want anything to eat? I can get you some food and drinks.”
Camryn smiled and expressed her gratitude.
Serenity got up to fetch food and beverages for Camryn. She placed them in front of her and explained what she had brought.
“Thank you, Serenity. You made enemies because of me. I’m glad you’re okay. If anything had happened to you, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life.”
“My life.” Besides Camryn’s aunt and housekeeper, Serenity was the first person to assist her and treat her with genuine care and sincerity.
“Carrie needs to learn a lesson. Your mom spoiled her beyond belief. She claims that you and Carrie are sisters, but did Carrie treat you like one when she attempted to drug you and frame you? There will be serious consequences if ordinary people are set up without anyone to support them, especially you.”
