Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012

The chilly spring and the soak in the bath of ice water gave Carrie a cold. With her temperature running high in the middle of the night, Mrs. Newman was quick to notify the family doctor. The doctor examined Carrie and prescribed her medication. Mrs. Newman fed her daughter the medication and stayed by her daughter’s side.

Mrs. Newman only left her daughter’s bedroom when Carrie’s fever subsided.

“Where’s Camryn? Didn’t she come back last night?”

The mention of her elder daughter turned Mrs. Newman’s tenderness into a scowl. “That blind girl got Ms. Stone’s help through some dumb luck. That country bumpkin was on her side too.

“That country bumpkin with no parents thinks she’s all that after marrying into a wealthy family. Carrie would’ve been fine if she stayed out of our business. The country bumpkin struck fast. She must work out in the gym a lot.”

The couple talked about last night’s incident while walking down the stairs.

Mrs. Newman hated Serenity’s guts. Her daughter would not have fallen sick and been made a fool if it were not for Serenity.

“Camryn’s business operates at eight o’clock in the morning. She should be out by this hour.”

Mr. Newman faintly replied, “Carrie went a little too far this time. Camryn is her sister no matter what. What would people think of Carrie if she keeps picking on Camryn? Carrie is twenty now, and soon it’ll be her time to get married. Who will want to marry her if she acts like this?”

“Carrie is the best. It’s not like we don’t have money. I will find her the perfect man if she feels she’s ready for marriage. The guy should marry into our family. I don’t want her to take someone else’s name.

“She’ll feel right at home in our place rather than be someone’s daughter–in–law.

“Don’t stick up for Camryn. She’s a troublemaker and a devil. Carrie’s reputation wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for her. I told you. We should’ve left her to die.”

“People are afraid of Mr. York, but he doesn’t scare us. It’s not like our family business is in this city.

What’s Mr. York going to do about it?”

Mrs. Newman believed Zachary was not that powerful to run their business to the ground since they were not operating in Wiltspoon anyway.

That was the reason Mrs. Newman did not see Serenity as a threat.

Unbothered to explain his actions, Mr. Newman sternly uttered, “Just do as I say. Do you think I don’t feel bad that our daughter is humiliated, hurt, and sick?

“Mr. York is a dangerous man. We better offer peace before he comes after us.”
