Chapter 999
Mrs. Newman did not care what people thought of her and continued to say,
“Mrs. Stone and Ms. Stone are really magnanimous. Their ideal son-in- law was
stolen away by some niece, but Mrs. Stone is still able to bring Serenity out and
introduce her to everyone.”
If it were Mrs. Newman, she would not be able to do it.
No matter how close a niece was, how could a niece compare to a daughter?
Someone rebuked Mrs. Newman and said, “You should be careful with your
words, Mrs. Newman. Mr. York never accepted Ms. Stone’s feelings or promised
her anything. It was all Ms. Stone’s wishful thinking. However, it’s true that Ms.
Stone is magnanimous. She was in love with Mr. York, but she could let go of
him when she found out that he was married. Furthermore, she generously sent
her blessings to the couple. It really changed my perception of her.
“You can say all that in front of us, but don’t talk about Mrs. York’s identity
elsewhere. Mr. York isn’t someone your family can afford to offend.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Newman opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she choked
on her words and did not continue to argue with the other ladies.
She was a laughingstock in this circle because she married her brother-in- law.
Her late husband was the younger brother of her current husband. They had a
daughter together, but he committed suicide by jumping off a building due to
depression when their daughter was two years old. Later, she remarried, to her
brother-in-law.
After marrying her brother-in-law, she went from being the second missus to the
eldest missus of the Newman family. When her in-laws passed away, her
husband became the head of the family. However, she became a joke that
many people talked about because she married her late husband’s brother.
After her remarriage, she gave birth to another daughter and son. The daughter
she had with her late husband, Camryn, lived like a nobody in the Newman
family. It was said that Camryn was treated worse than a servant.
Furthermore, she became blind because of an illness when she was sixteen,
which made her even more annoying. Even her biological mother treated her as
invisible and left her to fend for herself. She never brought Camryn out to social
events.
Everyone knew of the second daughter of the Newmans, but no one knew
about Camryn.
It was said that Camryn opened a flower shop in order to survive while being
blind. She earned a small income every month to sustain herself, but her halfsister often caused trouble for her.
There was a saying that if a child followed their father after a divorce, the father
would gradually neglect the child after he had more children with the new wife.
For Camryn, it was the other way around.
Her uncle and stepfather never treated her well in the first place, and her mother
treated her increasingly worse in order to appease her stepfather.
Serenity did not know that Mrs. Newman was prejudiced against her. She
followed her aunt to meet many ladies.
Compared to the younger ladies, the women who had husbands and children of
their own were friendlier to her.
There were also many people who looked down on her, but no one dared say

After staying in the house for half an hour, Elisa got tired of dealing with those
people and pulled Serenity out of the house to walk around the yard.
It was still the most crowded area here.
In this circle, Elisa was recognized for being arrogant and condescending. No
one dared come forward when they saw Elisa come out.
Elisa pulled Serenity to the edge of the lawn to sit down on two chairs. They
were away from the crowd but could still take in everyone’s movements.
“How do you feel, Seren?”
Elisa swirled the glass of wine in her hand and asked Serenity with a tilt of her
head.
Serenity leaned back in her chair lazily and said with a light smile, “It’s fine. I
exchanged a few more words with those who are friendly to me, and I didn’t
bother with those who disdain me and look down on me.
“Although I haven’t been active in this social class for long, it’s not my first time
experiencing this. I know many ladies here, but they don’t know me. I’ve seen
how they act in the past, so I know clearly what kind of people they are.”
