Upon arriving at the Dowlings’ home, they found the villa’s entrance wide open. The expansive lawn in front of the house was beautifully adorned, with numerous guests mingling in groups, holding tall glasses and engaged in lively conversation.
Given Audrey’s status, the Dowling family was informed the moment her car pulled up in front of the villa.
Mr. and Mrs. Dowling immediately brought their children over to extend their greetings.
As the car was parked in a spot designated by the servant, Mr. Dowling approached with his wife and children. He personally opened the car door for Audrey and greeted her with a smile, saying, “Mrs. Stone p>
Audrey stepped out of the car gracefully.
“Mr. Dowling,” she replied with a smile.
Mrs. Dowling, accompanied by her son and daughters, greeted Audrey warmly.
The Dowling family comprised two daughters and one son, the youngest being their eight-year-old son. He was chubby and fair-skinned but displayed good manners, greeting Audrey politely as his mother had taught him.
Elisa and Serenity exited the car and joined Audrey, flanking her like sisters.
Elisa was well-known in Wiltspoon’s high society not just for her spirited personality but also for being the only one brave enough to openly declare her love for Zachary and actively pursue him.
While Zachary had many admirers, none matched Elisa’s boldness.
“Ms. Stone, you become more beautiful each time I see you,” Mrs. Dowling complimented Elisa.
Knowing that Audrey cherished her only daughter above all, praising Elisa was a way to please Audrey as well.
As expected, Audrey’s smile grew brighter.
“Your two daughters are also very lovely, Mrs. Dowling. They’ve inherited the best features from both you and your husband. I remember the last time I saw your eldest daughter. She
She was just a little girl in pigtails, but in the blink of an eye, she has transformed into a young lady. “You are very blessed, Mrs. Dowling,” someone remarked. Maya, the eldest daughter of the Dowlings, blushed at the compliment.
“Who is this, Mrs. Stone? She looks familiar,” Mrs. Dowling inquired. She glanced at Serenity and felt a sense of recognition, but couldn’t quite place her.
Audrey, smiling, introduced Serenity, saying, “This is my niece, Serenity Hunt. She was away from Wiltspoon for an urgent matter during the last banquet my family held, so I couldn’t introduce her to everyone then p>
“Serenity Hunt?” Mr. and Mrs. Dowling exclaimed, surprised.
It was the wife of the York family! Following Zachary’s interview, everyone in Wiltspoon learned his wife’s name was Serenity Hunt. However, her photo had never been published, leaving people unable to connect a face with the name.
Some recalled the viral news about her from a while back and attempted to find it again, but all the photos had been removed. Moreover, the images from that time were over a decade old, featuring Serenity as a little girl.
Women often change significantly as they mature, and the present-day Serenity looked quite different from her childhood self.
“Mrs. York, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Mr. Dowling said, his smile widening as he extended his right hand for a handshake with Serenity.
