Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1011
“Ms. Carrie drugged her own sister?”
It came as a shock to Liam.
“I know, right? Serenity did a good thing by saving Ms. Camryn’s life, but the busybodies said Serenity should mind her own
business.
“They had the nerve to say that Serenity’s meddling rubbed Mrs. Newman and her younger daughter off the wrong way.
Apparently, Mr. Newman can be very protective of his family. So what? I’m protective too! My daughter–in–law fears no one! I
have Serenity’s back even if she upset all Wiltspoonians. Of course, on the condition that she’s in the right.
“That really riled me up. I can’t believe they tried to stir the pot with me. Are they trying to make me the first person ever to break
apart the peace of the Yorks?”
Liam uttered with a smile, “My wife is too smart to be fooled.”
“I’m fuming here, and yet you’re smiling there. Serenity is your daughter–in–law too, you know. Let me put this out there. You
better criticize anyone who calls Serenity an insensible and meddling country bumpkin!”
Tania was not having it.
While Tania was not pleased that Serenity came from humble beginnings, and her oldest son was out of Serenity’s league,
others did not have a right to pass their judgment on Serenity’s low birth and actions. Besides, Tania, as the mother–in–law, had
always been cordial with Serenity, never gave Serenity an attitude, or criticized Serenity for anything. Why were outsiders
pointing the finger at Serenity then?
Liam immediately said, “Alright, alright. I won’t laugh. I’m relieved that you’re watching over your daughter- in–law. Serenity
doesn’t need our protection. Zachary is fully capable of that, and no one in Wiltspoon can touch her.
“Serenity will probably be called Wiltspoon’s Untouchable in less than a year.”
Giving her husband the stink eye, Tania remarked, “That’s not a nice name, but here’s a random fact to show that I do give my
daughter–in–law some attention. Crab is probably Serenity’s favorite food. Zack told the butler to deliver the freshest seafood to
make a seafood feast for her when Zack brought her to his estate.

“I won’t poke my nose in my son and daughter–in–law’s marriage, but I’m not going to stand down when someone speaks ill of
my daughter–in–law to me.”
“Yes, darling! Make them regret their actions!”
Liam believed that he did not need to get involved as his son would keep Serenity out of harm’s way.
Nevertheless, his wife was steamed up, so he better echoed whatever she said. It was the only way she could let out steam.
Mrs. Walker’s call drove Tania up the wall. Not only did Mrs. Walker get a dressing down from Tania, but her number was now
blocked too. Mrs. Walker thought she could butter Tania up. Alas, Tania’s reaction took Mrs. Walker by surprise.
Tania was rather protective of her daughter–in–law.
The conflict between the mother–in–law and daughter–in–law did not seem to exist.
Mrs. Walker had a loose tongue. She relayed the whole incident to the other women in her tight circle, and soon word spread
among the upper crust of Wiltspoon. No one would push their luck to badmouth Serenity in Tania’s presence.
Unless, of course, they wanted their numbers blocked.
Regardless of Serenity’s upbringing and actions, she was the wife of the richest heir. Sure, Tania was not fond of her daughter–
in–law, but there was no way she would allow anyone to say it out loud. The taunt toward Serenity was a slap in Tania’s face. Of
course, she was going to be ticked off.
Meanwhile, Mr. Newman stood outside his daughter’s bedroom at the Newmans‘ residence. He waited until his wife came out
from the other side of the door before asking with concern, “Has Carrie’s fever gone down?”
“The fever has come down, but she’s groggy. I told her to sleep.”
Last night, Mrs. Newman put Carrie in a bath of ice water when they came home. It was only then the child made a turnaround.
