Chapter 1308
Serenity once again sighed at her fortune. Although the man she married liked to throw tantrums, hewas very good to her. He never raised his hand against her, and she did not have to worry about himcheating on her.
More importantly, his family was great. Having open-minded and tolerant in -laws like the Yorks wasrare among wealthy and influential families.
She remembered Grandma May saying that since Serenity saved her life, she would never introduce abad grandson to Serenity.
In fact, all of her grandsons were exceptional.
Zachary was just the oldest and thought to be the most exceptional by his elders.
"Mrs. Lewis already helped pick a wife candidate for Mr. Lewis. Her name is Ms. Lily Harmon. She'syoung and beautiful, but she also seems to be smart and competent. I could tell at a glance that shewas an experienced person. The self-confidence and nobility that emanates from her gestures showthat she came from a wealthy background. Furthermore, she must be good if she could earn Mrs.Lewis's favor.”
"I know.”
Zachary said while eating, "It's because Mrs. Lewis tried to forcefully matchmake Duncan several timesthat he was shameless enough to stay in our house.”
He did not know what the woman's name was.
There was no need for him to know.
She was not his wife candidate.
All he needed to know was his Serenity.
"It’s still Ms. Harmon? I thought it would be someone else.
"Mrs. Lewis has high standards. Although she's anxious about Duncan's marriage, she'll never allowhim to marry below his social status. She picks her daughter-in-law like she's a queen choosing aconsort for the prince. There are not many noble ladies in Wiltspoon who caught her eye.”novelbin
The families that Mrs. Lewis had her eye on did not have daughters suitable for marriage.
As for families that did have marriageable daughters, Mrs. Lewis did not take a fancy to them.
The Lewises were one of the top-ranking giants in Wiltspoon. Duncan was capable on his own and wasworth tens of billions.
When his father passed and the family assets were divided, Duncan's fortune would continue to groweven if he did not take a single penny from the inheritance.
Thus, Mrs. Lewis was naturally very demanding in choosing a wife for him.
Zachary thought of how the York family had no daughters. If he had a sister, she would surely be Mrs.Lewis's number-one pick.
"Liberty said that Mrs. Lewis passed by one day and visited the store for a chat. She let Liberty see Ms.Harmon's picture. Babe, I think Mrs. Lewis did it on purpose. She wanted my sister to back off."
Without further thought, he said, "She definitely did it on purpose. An arrogant person like Mrs. Lewiswouldn’t approach your sister and make small talk even if she was just passing by.”
When Audrey hosted a banquet for her two nieces, Mrs. Lewis did not pay much attention to Libertythat night. The two did not meet again after that banquet.
Why would Mrs. Lewis go in and chat with Liberty just because she was passing by?
"Will Mrs. Lewis wreck my sister's store? Will she toss out a check of five million, then tell my sister toleave with the money and never come back to see Mr. Lewis?”
Zachary, who was drinking milk, instantly choked when he heard Serenity. He coughed furiously andquickly put down the glass of milk.
Serenity tried to pat his back, but he raised his hand to stop her.
He quickly stopped coughing and said with a smile, "Seren, you think too much. Clichés like that onlyhappen in novels, not in real life.
"If we didn't exist and your sister was really trying to pursue Duncan, then Mrs. Lewis would getsomeone to smash her store. Then, she'll forcefully drive your sister away, but she won't give her asingle penny.”
Zachary continued, “But Mrs. Lewis won't do that because we're around. I'm good friends with Duncan,and you're my wife as well as the missus of the York family. No matter how displeased Mrs. Lewis is,there's nothing she can do. Besides, you guys have your aunt too.
“Even if Liberty likes Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would at most go straight to your sister to talk to her. She'll tellyour sister directly that she won't accept a daughter-in-law like her.”
