Chapter 1332
Mrs. Marshall thought Serenity’s voice was pleasant. She held her hand in a friendly manner and complimented her.
Serenity responded to everyone’s compliments with grace, which disappointed those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
Some people thought Mrs. Stone was indeed good at teaching. Serenity had only attended a few banquets with Mrs. Stone, yet she had managed to train a country bumpkin into a graceful missus of a wealthy family.
The York family of four went on to meet Old Mr. Marshall.
After looking at Serenity for some time, Old Mr. Marshall did not say a word. However, he gave her a generous gift in front of everyone. He even told Zachary, “You two must live a happy life. Your nana won’t go wrong.”
Zachary was soft toward Old Mr. Marshall. “Thank you, Old Mr. Marshall. I’ll cherish and love. Seren a lot.”
Old Mr. Marshall smiled kindly. He was much older than Old Mrs. York, and his energy could not compare to hers.
He would only meet youngsters of higher status and prominence like Zachary. Ordinary people would not dare to disturb him.
Guests from wealthy families gradually arrived.
Mrs. Stone and his husband came slightly later with their daughter. Clive and his wife were absent.
Alice was pregnant and had terrible morning sickness. Many people were attending the banquet, so there were worries about someone bumping into her. Therefore, Clive strongly disagreed about his wife coming. He was absent as well to accompany his wife back home.
The second son of the Stone family did not do business, so he never participated in any events of the business world.
Therefore, only Mr. and Mrs. Stone came with Elisa.
They went to greet Old Mr. Marshall too.
Old Mr. Marshall did not spot Clive and his wife, so he asked Mrs. Stone, “Why aren’t Clive and Alice here?”
