– “My store isn’t busy right now, so I came over to chat with you.”

Camryn visited in person primarily to catch up with her sister-in-law and good friend.

Serenity instructed the bodyguards to help relocate the original potted plants and replace them with the new ones sent by Camryn.

Jasmine prepared a cup of hot water for Camryn and said, “Here, drink this. The temperature has dropped today.”

She then asked the bodyguards to help themselves to some hot water as well.

These bodyguards were already familiar with the environment.

They recognized that young ladies like Jasmine were friendly and down-to-earth.

As Camryn sipped her hot water, she noticed the cakes at the cashier but didn’t mention them.

Nevertheless, Serenity encouraged her to have some.

Camryn politely accepted and took one to enjoy.

Carrie: “…”

The cake must be delicious.

Camryn refrained from commenting on its taste as she chatted with her two friends while eating.

Eventually, the conversation shifted to Camryn’s upcoming banquet with her mother-in-law in two days. She told Serenity, “If you weren’t pregnant, we could have gone together. I try to act composed in front of my mother-in-law, but I’m actually a bit anxious. I don’t attend banquets often.”

Indeed, she was the eldest daughter of the Newman family. After losing her biological father at a young age, her biological mother was not as nurturing as her stepmother, leading to a difficult childhood. At sixteen, her biological mother poisoned her, resulting in her blindness. She lived in darkness, and her life in the Newman family mansion was worse than that of a servant.

When would she have had the opportunity to attend a banquet?

Her mother frequently attended social events but usually took Carrie along to explore the world.

By the time she became the head of the

The Newman family had not yet treated her eyes, making it challenging for her to attend the banquet. As a result, she rarely participated in such events. It would be dishonest to claim she wasn’t anxious; she simply wanted to avoid displaying her shyness in front of her mother-in-law. Additionally, she feared that if she didn’t perform well, she would embarrass both her mother-in-law and her husband. She was there not only as a representative of the Newman family but also as a member of the York family.

Serenity reassured Camryn, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Aunt Rosella will be there for everything. Just follow her lead. If anyone targets you, don’t hesitate to stand up for yourself. If things get tough, Aunt Rosella will support you. The banquets that invite Aunt Rosella are hosted by well-established families, and those attending are well-educated individuals. You don’t need to worry about them looking down on you or trying to bully you.

Camryn, you are now the head of the Newman family and the second young mistress of the York family. You should feel confident enough to hold your own against the ladies of Wiltspoon.” Serenity had never been one to shy away from challenges. Although her background was not as privileged as Camryn’s, and despite the tragic circumstances of Camryn’s mother, the Newman family was still affluent.

As a country girl, Serenity had faced judgment from many, but she never allowed it to diminish her self-esteem. Her only pressure stemmed from her prolonged struggle with infertility, not from social situations.

If others held her in high regard, she enjoyed engaging with them more, while she had little interest in those who looked down on her. She was not dependent on their approval. Regardless of what others thought, she remained confident in herself.

She was concerned about her husband’s family disliking her.

Jasmine responded, “What are you worried about? They are all well-educated and easy to get along with. You shouldn’t concern yourself with what others think or care about their opinions. At the banquet, I laid on the ground and threw a fit. Even though my aunt was embarrassed, I wasn’t afraid of becoming the center of attention.”

Serenity chuckled.

Jasmine indeed became an instant sensation.

Josh remembered Jasmine for her standout performance at the banquet. However, this also made it challenging for Mrs. Lowe to assist Jasmine in making connections, as many ladies witnessed her behavior that day.
