Chapter 3505
Carrie's stand-in looked at her with anticipation. She asked, "How many young masters of the York family are still unmarried?”
Carrie knew exactly what she was thinking and responded sarcastically, "Why, are you dreaming of marrying into the York family and becoming a young lady?"
"Not just anyone can join the York family. Look at me, the actual second lady of the Newman family. When my parents were alive, our family assets exceeded ten billion, yet we couldn't mingle with the York family. At a banquet, my mother greeted the wives of the York family, and they merely nodded and smiled. It's impossible to chat with them like friends.
The York family wives rarely attend banquets. If they do, it's because someone with particularly high status in Wiltspoon invited them, and they attend out of obligation.
Don't be fooled by their low profile. The York family wives all come from wealthy backgrounds. There is no poor woman in the York family."
After a pause, Carrie added jealously, "Well, there is one exception now: Zachary's wife, Serenity. Her love story with Zachary is famous in Wiltspoon. Her family isn't poor by normal standards, but compared to the York family, she is. Yet she married into the York family as the eldest lady. Zachary is the eldest young master and the head of the next generation. Serenity will become the head lady of the York family in the future. People envy her luck, but it can't be replicated.
I heard the old lady of the York family first took a liking to Serenity after she saved her in a small accident. In gratitude, she arranged for Zachary to marry Serenity. They got married quickly and grew fond of each other.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
It's said the old lady chose the other young ladies too. So, marrying into the York family isn't about the young masters choosing us; it's about whether the old lady approves of us."
The stand-in's eyes lit up. "What if the old lady likes me? Wouldn't I have a chance to marry into the York family too? Look at Serenity. Maybe if I help old ladies in need, I'll get lucky like her and marry into a wealthy family."
Carrie sneered, "Do you really think it's that easy? Serenity's luck is one of a kind."
Though envious and jealous, Carrie understood that Serenity's luck wasn't something everyone could have. It was a rare gift from nature.
"Although Serenity was relatively
poor, she had opportunities and abilities. Even if you set aside her identity as the eldest lady of the York family, she is successful in her career. She opened a vegetable company with her cousin and best friend and made a lot of money. Also, she is a descendant of the former head of the Farrelb family in Jensburg. Her aunt is married into the Stone family, the second wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. Her aunt treats her like her own daughter.
Do you have such an aunt? Does your mother come from such a background? Do you think the old lady of the York family casually picks a granddaughter-in-law?" en.swhovels.net
Carrie, not very bright herself,
realized that the old lady's chosen candidates were all very capable. It's said she also chose a blind woman for Callum, giving him a year to win her over.
Carrie didn't understand why the old lady picked Camryn, a seemingly insignificant person in the Newman family, who had been blind for ten years. Now, she understood.
The old lady had sharp eyes.
She saw that Camryn was cunning and ruthless, pretending to be weak while plotting to seize the Newman enterprise and become its head. Despite her envy, Carrie had to admit she wasn't as good as Camryn in this regard.
No wonder her parents wanted to kill Camryn. Unfortunately, Camryn was lucky and survived, all because of their aunt Evelyn's interference. If it weren't for Evelyn, Camryn would have been dead long ago.
