“Carrie Newman!”
Camryn, who was manning the store inside, heard the argument at the entrance and slowly walked out with her white cane.
Serenity looked at her and saw that she was the same as that night. She wore large black sunglasses so that her eyes were hidden, and her stunning face was still as expressionless as that night.
“What are you screaming at?”
Camryn was totally familiar with her own territory. When she heard the sound of two people quarreling, she determined their positions and walked up to Serenity, asking warmly, “Are you Mrs. York?”
“What Mrs. York? That’s just a hillbilly. Don’t bother flattering her, mole rat. Just you wait. A country bumpkin like her will be chased out of the York family soon. I don’t believe that Mr. York actually likes a country bumpkin like her.
Carrie hated it when others called Serenity Mrs. York. She did not dare go after Zachary because of his cold nature, but she was ambitious and wanted to marry into the York family too.
There were nine young masters in the York family. Her mother picked out the one with the gentlest temperament out of nine, the seventh son. He was two to three years older than her, but her mother said that only a man a little older than her would dote on her and spoil her.
Carrie was capricious and bad-tempered, so she needed someone good-natured like him to indulge her.
She thought, ‘I’ll be marrying into the York family in the future. I’ll never accept a hick like Serenity as my sister-in-law.’
Therefore, she could not accept people calling Serenity Mrs. York.
“Shut your mouth!”
