to pursue Serenity. Zachary found it amusing. He recalled the conflicts he had with Serenity before their relationship had developed into what it was today. His younger brothers had witnessed how he had become infatuated with her. While Callum hadn’t yet won over Camryn, he had at least made some advances. In contrast, Kevin and Hayden had made no progress at all. Grandma May was not in a rush, though she had set a one-year deadline for them. It was up to Kevin to decide how he wanted to meet that deadline.
“Serenity, you’re here!” Camryn exclaimed as she heard Serenity’s footsteps upon entering the store. She turned and greeted Serenity with a smile. “You have really good ears.” Serenity placed a box of pastries in front of Camryn, explaining, “I passed by a bakery and bought several boxes of freshly baked pastries. I tasted them and thought they were delicious, so I got you a box.” Camryn accepted the gift with a smile and expressed her gratitude. She enjoyed desserts, believing they were the key to a woman’s heart.
“Camryn, I’m here to pick up the bouquet I ordered,” Serenity said. Camryn smiled and replied, “It’s ready for you.” She stood up to retrieve the bouquet that had been prepared earlier and handed it to Serenity. “Thanks,” Serenity said as she accepted the bouquet. “I should be the one thanking you. You always support my business.”
Serenity noticed that Camryn appeared a bit thinner than usual and asked, “Camryn, have you not been eating well lately? I think you’ve lost some weight. Are your aunts still bothering you?” “They won’t give up, but they’re not gaining anything from me either,” Camryn replied. It had been two months since her mother went to jail, and Camryn had already asked Dalton to take over Newman Enterprise. “Just yesterday, I fired my aunts’ sons. They had gathered some people…”
In the office, there was an uproar that negatively affected the company. Camryn’s cousins leveraged their relationship with their uncle to exert control over Newman Enterprise. For the sake of his two sisters, Mr. Newman often overlooked their behavior. However, Camryn refused to indulge them. Since they wanted a stake in Newman Enterprise, she decided not to tolerate them any longer. Seizing the opportunity, she dismissed all her cousins from the company. If her instincts were correct, her two aunts would soon cause her more trouble. Nonetheless, Camryn felt no fear towards them. “Just fire them if they’re incompetent. There’s no need to consider family ties; they weren’t kind to you to begin with.” Serenity was fully aware of how Camryn’s aunts treated her.
