Chapter 1079
While Carrie was young and headstrong, she certainly knew better. Her thoughts drifted back to how her plan had been thwarted by Serenity at the Dowlings’ party. Serenity had physically restrained her while Elisa forced her to consume drugged alcohol. The drug clouded her judgment, leading her to strip off her clothes at the Dowlings’ home.
Carrie’s mother quickly intervened, rushing her back home. Carrie had to endure an ice-cold bath to regain her senses, although the frigid water only worsened her fever. Her parents were devastated for her, yet they took no action to seek justice on her behalf. This inaction stemmed from the fact that Serenity had Mr. York supporting her.
Carrie’s father explained that even though the Newmans did not operate in Wiltspoon, they should not provoke Mr. York. The York Corporation had extensive business interests in major cities, and any conflict could lead to repercussions that would harm Newman Enterprise.
He also chastised Carrie for her extreme actions—she shouldn’t have drugged Camryn. There were far better ways to embarrass Camryn and make her a target of ridicule than what she attempted at the banquet.
As if that wasn’t enough, Carrie had tarnished their family’s reputation. It would now be difficult for her to find a husband since the wives of other affluent families viewed her as malicious.
This incident marked the first time Carrie understood the extent of Zachary’s influence. Even her loving parents were powerless to defend her.
Serenity shot Carrie a disdainful look, exuding confidence and arrogance. For once, Carrie felt a twinge of fear.
“Just you wait, you country bumpkin!” she sneered, jabbing her finger in Serenity’s direction before turning away.
out. As she left, she intentionally knocked over several pots of flowers.
Serenity felt a strong urge to sever Carrie’s legs.
People often described Elisa as uncouth, ill-tempered, and arrogant. However, in comparison to Carrie, Elisa seemed far more refined.
Elisa was proud and refused to associate with anyone who didn’t align with her. She wouldn’t hesitate to put anyone who intruded on her space in their place.
Carrie displayed a tasteless combination of willfulness and arrogance.
She drove away in her multi-million-dollar car.
Carrie intended to return home and discuss her plans with her mother, believing it acceptable to hire a few thugs to teach Serenity a lesson out of spite.
If Noah were aware of Carrie’s intentions, he would be the first to intervene. He had attempted a similar scheme before, only to have Serenity single-handedly defeat him and the thugs.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. York,” she said.
Serenity responded gently, “It’s not your fault. You don’t need to apologize to me p>
“You’re my guest, but Carrie had to ruin it for you. I should have come earlier so you wouldn’t have to endure her insults p>
Serenity replied, “There is a significant social divide between my husband and me. Carrie isn’t the only one who sees me this way, and she won’t be the last. Others may be more tactful, but their thoughts are the same p>
Youth and arrogance allowed Carrie to voice what other wealthy wives thought.
These individuals regarded Serenity as nothing more than a country bumpkin who had stumbled into good fortune.
“All humans are equal. What truly matters is Mr. York’s opinion of you. Who cares what others think p>
Camryn smiled and motioned for Serenity to come inside. “You must be here to buy flowers. Who is the fortunate recipient of your blooms p>
Serenity walked in.
Camryn entered the flower shop. She said, “I’m here to buy flowers for my husband. What do you recommend, Ms. Newman? Could you create a bouquet for me p>
