Carrie''s stand-in looked at her with anticipation. She asked, "How many young masters of the York family are still unmarried?"
Carrie knew exactly what she was thinking and responded sarcastically, “Why, are you dreaming of marrying into the York family and bing a youngdy?"
"Not just anyone can join the York family. Look at me, the actual seconddy of the Newman family. When my parents were alive, our family assets exceeded ten billion, yet we couldn''t mingle with the York family. At a banquet, my mother greeted the wives of the York family, and they merely nodded and smiled. It''s impossible to chat with them like friends.
The York family wives rarely attend banquets. If they do, it''s because someone with particrly high status in Wiltspoon invited them, and they attend out of obligation.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
Don''t be fooled by their low profile. The York family wives alle from wealthy backgrounds. There is no poor woman in the York family.”
After a pause, Carrie added jealously, "Well, there is one exception now: Zachary''s wife, Serenity. Her love story with Zachary is famous in Wiltspoon. Her family isn''t poor by normal standards, butpared to the York family, she is. Yet she married into the York family as the eldestdy. Zachary is the eldest young master and the head of the next generation. Serenity will be the headdy of the York family in the future. People envy her luck, but it can''t be replicated.
I heard the olddy of the York family first took a liking to Serenity after she saved her in a small ident. In gratitude, she arranged for Zachary to marry Serenity. They got married quickly and grew fond of each other.
It''s said the olddy chose the other youngdies too. So, marrying into the York family isn''t about the young masters choosing us; it''s about whether the olddy approves of us."
The stand-in''s eyes lit up. "What if the olddy likes me? Wouldn''t I have a chance to marry into the York family too? Look at Serenity. Maybe if I help olddies in need, I''ll get lucky like her and marry into a wealthy family."
Carrie sneered, "Do you really think it''s that easy? Serenity''s luck is one of a kind."
Though envious and jealous, Carrie understood that Serenity''s luck wasn''t something everyone could have. It was a rare gift from nature.
"Although Serenity was rtively poor, she had opportunities and abilities. Even if you set aside her identity as the eldestdy of the York family, she is sessful in her career. She opened a vegetablepany with her cousin and best friend and made a lot of money. Also, she is a descendant of the former head of the Farrell family in Jensburg. Her aunt is married into the Stone family, the second wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. Her aunt treats her like her own daughter.
Do you have such an aunt? Does your mothere from such a background? Do you think the olddy of the York family casually picks a granddaughter-in-w?"
Carrie, not very bright herself, realized that the olddy''s chosen candidates were all very capable. It''s said she also chose a blind woman for Callum, giving him a year to win her over.
Carrie didn''t understand why the olddy picked Camryn, a seemingly insignificant person in the Newman family, who had been blind for ten years.
Now, she understood.
The olddy had sharp eyes.
She saw that Camryn was cunning and ruthless, pretending to be weak! while plotting to seize the Newman enterprise and be its head.
No wonder her parents wanted to kill Camryn. Unfortunately, Gamry was lucky and survived, all because of their aunt Evelyn''s interference. If it weren''t for Evelyn, Camryn would have been dead long ago.
