Chapter 1011
“Ms. Carrie drugged her own sister?”
It came as a shock to Liam.
“I know, right? Serenity did a good thing by saving Ms. Camryn’s life, but the busybodies said Serenity
should mind her own business.
“They had the nerve to say that Serenity’s meddling rubbed Mrs. Newman and her younger daughter
off the wrong way. Apparently, Mr. Newman can be very protective of his family. So what? I’m protective
too! My daughter–in–law fears no one! I have Serenity’s back even if she upset all Wiltspoonians. Of
course, on the condition that she’s in the right.
“That really riled me up. I can’t believe they tried to stir the pot with me. Are they trying to make me the
first person ever to break apart the peace of the Yorks?”
Liam uttered with a smile, “My wife is too smart to be fooled.”
“I’m fuming here, and yet you’re smiling there. Serenity is your daughter–in–law too, you know. Let me
put this out there. You better criticize anyone who calls Serenity an insensible and meddling country
bumpkin!”
Tania was not having it.
While Tania was not pleased that Serenity came from humble beginnings, and her oldest son was out
of Serenity’s league, others did not have a right to pass their judgment on Serenity’s low birth and
actions. Besides, Tania, as the mother–in–law, had always been cordial with Serenity, never gave
Serenity an attitude, or criticized Serenity for anything. Why were outsiders pointing the finger at
Serenity then?
Liam immediately said, “Alright, alright. I won’t laugh. I’m relieved that you’re watching over your
daughter- in–law. Serenity doesn’t need our protection. Zachary is fully capable of that, and no one in
Wiltspoon can touch her.
“Serenity will probably be called Wiltspoon’s Untouchable in less than a year.”
Giving her husband the stink eye, Tania remarked, “That’s not a nice name, but here’s a random fact tonovelbin
show that I do give my daughter–in–law some attention. Crab is probably Serenity’s favorite food. Zack
told the butler to deliver the freshest seafood to make a seafood feast for her when Zack brought her to
his estate.
“I won’t poke my nose in my son and daughter–in–law’s marriage, but I’m not going to stand down
when someone speaks ill of my daughter–in–law to me.”
“Yes, darling! Make them regret their actions!”
Liam believed that he did not need to get involved as his son would keep Serenity out of harm’s way.
Nevertheless, his wife was steamed up, so he better echoed whatever she said. It was the only way
she could let out steam.
Mrs. Walker’s call drove Tania up the wall. Not only did Mrs. Walker get a dressing down from Tania,
but her number was now blocked too. Mrs. Walker thought she could butter Tania up. Alas, Tania’s
reaction took Mrs. Walker by surprise.
Tania was rather protective of her daughter–in–law.
The conflict between the mother–in–law and daughter–in–law did not seem to exist.
Mrs. Walker had a loose tongue. She relayed the whole incident to the other women in her tight circle,
and soon word spread among the upper crust of Wiltspoon. No one would push their luck to badmouth
Serenity in Tania’s presence.
Unless, of course, they wanted their numbers blocked.
Regardless of Serenity’s upbringing and actions, she was the wife of the richest heir. Sure, Tania was
not fond of her daughter–in–law, but there was no way she would allow anyone to say it out loud. The
taunt toward Serenity was a slap in Tania’s face. Of course, she was going to be ticked off.
Meanwhile, Mr. Newman stood outside his daughter’s bedroom at the Newmans‘ residence. He waited
until his wife came out from the other side of the door before asking with concern, “Has Carrie’s fever
gone down?”
“The fever has come down, but she’s groggy. I told her to sleep.”
Last night, Mrs. Newman put Carrie in a bath of ice water when they came home. It was only then the
child made a turnaround.
