even if she were a beggar. Therefore, Mrs. Dowling did not dare to underestimate or disrespect Serenity. Serenity was the wife of the future head of the York family, making her the most esteemed woman in Wiltspoon.
Mrs. Dowling chose not to pursue a friendship with Serenity due to their age difference. Instead, she simply hoped to leave a favorable impression on her. Additionally, Serenity’s presence at her eldest daughter’s birthday banquet would greatly benefit the Dowlings, enhancing their prestige for years to come.
“There are two young ladies with Mrs. Stone. One of them is Ms. Stone, but who is the other?” Mrs. Dowling is very respectful towards her.”
“I’m not sure. I’ve never seen her before.”
“Me neither. Could she be Mrs. Stone’s daughter-in-law?”
“We’ve all met her daughter-in-law. Oh, could she be the second daughter-in-law?”
The guests speculated about Serenity’s identity, whispering among themselves. Just then, two women emerged from the house. Someone approached the older woman and asked, “Mrs. Newman, do you know who the woman next to Mrs. Stone is? Did you hear Mrs. Dowling introduce her while you were inside?”
Everyone in this circle knew one another and was eager to learn who this new face was.
Mrs. Newman replied dismissively, “She’s just a country bumpkin. Does she really think she can climb the social ladder and join the elite?”
The crowd fell silent.
Mrs. Newman’s youngest daughter spoke up disdainfully, “She’s Serenity Hunt.”
The others gasped, “The missus of the York family!”
Mrs. Newman maintained her indifferent demeanor.
She sounded indifferent, but there was a trace of disdain in her tone. “As I mentioned, she’s just a country bumpkin who somehow got lucky enough to marry into the York family. Mr. York married her without even holding a wedding banquet. Who knows what tricks she used to achieve this?”
The bystanders could only perceive that Mrs. Newman was acting out of jealousy.
