The expansive lawn in front of the house was beautifully adorned, with numerous guests mingling in groups, holding tall glasses and engaged in lively conversation.<\/div>\n<div>Given Audrey\u2019s status, the Dowling family was informed the moment her car pulled up in front of the villa.<\/div>\n<div>Mr. and Mrs. Dowling immediately brought their children over to extend their greetings.<\/div>\n<div>As the car was parked in a spot designated by the servant, Mr. Dowling approached with his wife and children. He personally opened the car door for Audrey and greeted her with a smile, saying, \u201cMrs. Stone.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Audrey stepped out of the car gracefully.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMr. Dowling,\u201d she replied with a smile.<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Dowling, accompanied by her son and daughters, greeted Audrey warmly.<\/div>\n<div>The Dowling family comprised two daughters and one son, the youngest being their eight-year-old son. He was chubby and fair-skinned but displayed good manners, greeting Audrey politely as his mother had taught him.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa and Serenity exited the car and joined Audrey, flanking her like sisters.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa was well-known in Wiltspoon\u2019s high society not just for her spirited personality but also for being the only one brave enough to openly declare her love for Zachary and actively pursue him.<\/div>\n<div>While Zachary had many admirers, none matched Elisa\u2019s boldness.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMs. Stone, you become more beautiful each time I see you,\u201d Mrs. Dowling complimented Elisa.<\/div>\n<div>Knowing that Audrey cherished her only daughter above all, praising Elisa was a way to please Audrey as well.<\/div>\n<div>As expected, Audrey\u2019s smile grew brighter.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYour two daughters are also very lovely, Mrs. Dowling. They\u2019ve inherited the best features from both you and your husband. I remember the last time I saw your eldest daughter. She<\/div>\n<p>She was just a little girl in pigtails, but in the blink of an eye, she has transformed into a young lady. \u201cYou are very blessed, Mrs. Dowling,\u201d someone remarked. Maya, the eldest daughter of the Dowlings, blushed at the compliment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is this, Mrs. Stone? She looks familiar,\u201d Mrs. Dowling inquired. She glanced at Serenity and felt a sense of recognition, but couldn\u2019t quite place her. <\/p>\n<p>Audrey, smiling, introduced Serenity, saying, \u201cThis is my niece, Serenity Hunt. She was away from Wiltspoon for an urgent matter during the last banquet my family held, so I couldn\u2019t introduce her to everyone then.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenity Hunt?\u201d Mr. and Mrs. Dowling exclaimed, surprised. <\/p>\n<p>It was the wife of the York family! Following Zachary\u2019s interview, everyone in Wiltspoon learned his wife\u2019s name was Serenity Hunt. However, her photo had never been published, leaving people unable to connect a face with the name. <\/p>\n<p>Some recalled the viral news about her from a while back and attempted to find it again, but all the photos had been removed. Moreover, the images from that time were over a decade old, featuring Serenity as a little girl. <\/p>\n<p>Women often change significantly as they mature, and the present-day Serenity looked quite different from her childhood self. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. York, it\u2019s a pleasure to meet you,\u201d Mr. Dowling said, his smile widening as he extended his right hand for a handshake with Serenity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 997 Upon arriving at the Dowlings\u2019 home, they found the villa\u2019s entrance wide open.
