Chapter 1007
After a moment of silence, Zachary replied, “Yes, but I trust my eyes and
feelings more. That was why I concealed my identity to examine your
character.”
“Given your character, you wouldn’t agree to marry me either if you didn’t get a
background check on me. Why did you still suspect me of going after you for
your money?”
“I was afraid that the investigation was wrong.”
Serenity was speechless.
“Marriage is a life-long event. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, but
the same goes for men. I have to get along with you personally before knowing
what you’re really like. A background check is just a few lines of summary.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, marriage is a life-long event. It seems we were both too hasty.”
Serenity sighed, but said gratefully, “Fortunately, we fell in love with each other.”
If she could do it all over again, she would probably make a different choice.
“Keep going, Seren. I’ll listen to the story.” Zachary did not want to talk about the
time when their marriage was hidden because those were the days he lied to
her.
If not for the fact that she was softhearted because he hurt his stomach after
starving himself unintentionally, the couple’s relationship would still be frozen
now.
That was why he was afraid to bring up the topic of him concealing his identity
and lying to her.
He could avoid raking up the past by returning the topic to Camryn.
“Camryn has a sister who’s a few years younger than her called Carrie.
Carrie is quite pretty too, but her personality is horrible. She actually spiked a
glass of wine and asked Camryn to send a bouquet of flowers over, then forced
Camryn to drink the drugged wine in exchange for the payment for the flowers.
“Elisa and I saw the entire process. We’ve never seen such a horrid sister
before. I couldn’t help but intervene, and we ended up making Carrie drink the
wine instead. Boy, did that drug kick in quick. In just a few minutes, Carrie said
she was feeling hot and tried to strip.
“Mrs. Newman is as biased as my grandparents. Camryn is also her daughter,
and she takes after her mother more than Carrie does. However, Mrs. Newman
only blamed Camryn and even tried to slap her, but I pulled her away.
“Carrie is too vicious. She tried to ruin Camryn’s life. If I didn’t butt in and let
Camryn drink the wine… She would’ve lost her rationality after the drug kicked
in. No matter whose hands she fell into, it’d be devastating for her.
“Camryn is the wife Nana picked for Callum, so we’ll be sisters-in-law in the
future. It’d be fine if I didn’t know, but since I do, I have to protect her. How can a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmissus of the York family be bullied by others?”
Zachary said faintly, “Camryn Newman was born to Mrs. Newman and her first
husband. When her husband died, she remarried, and her current husband is
the elder brother of her late husband. In other words, she remarried her brotherin-law.”
Serenity paused. “Even so, she can’t treat her eldest daughter that way.”
“Nana must have had her reasons for picking Camryn. She probably knows
something we don’t. Matching Camryn with Callum might also be to help her.”
‘What does Nana know?”
Serenity was very curious.
Zachary thought about it and said, “If my guess is correct, the death of
Camryn’s father might not be as simple as it appeared to be.” Serenity was
shocked.
