Chapter 3505
Carrie’s stand-in looked at her expectantly and asked, “How many young masters of the York family are still unmarried?”
Carrie understood her thoughts and replied sarcastically, “Are you dreaming of marrying into the York family and becoming a young lady?”
“Not just anyone can join the York family. Take me, for instance; I am the actual second lady of the Newman family. When my parents were alive, our family assets exceeded ten billion, yet we still couldn’t mingle with the York family. At a banquet, my mother would greet the wives of the York family, and they would simply nod and smile. It’s impossible to converse with them as equals.
The wives of the York family rarely attend banquets. When they do, it’s because someone of particularly high status in Wiltspoon has invited them, and they attend out of a sense of obligation.
Don’t be misled by their low profiles. The wives of the York family all come from affluent backgrounds. There is no impoverished woman among them.”
After a brief pause, Carrie added enviously, “Well, there is one exception now: Zachary’s wife, Serenity. Her love story with Zachary is well-known in Wiltspoon. While her family isn’t poor by ordinary standards, they pale in comparison to the York family. Yet she married into the York family as the eldest lady. Zachary is the eldest young master and the head of the next generation, so Serenity will eventually become the head lady of the York family. Many envy her fortune, but it’s not something that can be replicated.
I heard that the old lady of the York family first took a liking to Serenity after she saved her in a minor accident. Out of gratitude, she arranged for Zachary to marry Serenity. They wed quickly and grew fond of each other.
It is said that the old lady chose the other youn

It’s the same for the ladies. Marrying into the York family isn’t solely about the young masters choosing us; it also depends on whether the old lady approves of us.”
The stand-in’s eyes brightened. “What if the old lady likes me? Wouldn’t that give me a chance to marry into the York family as well? Just look at Serenity. Perhaps if I assist elderly women in need, I could be as fortunate as her and marry into a wealthy family.”
Carrie scoffed, “Do you really believe it’s that simple? Serenity’s luck is one in a million.”
Though she felt envious and jealous, Carrie realized that Serenity’s good fortune was not something everyone could possess; it was a rare gift from nature.
Do you have an aunt like that? Does your mother come from such a prestigious background? Do you really think the old lady of the York family casually selects a granddaughter-in-law?”
Carrie, not particularly bright herself, understood that the candidates chosen by the old lady were all exceptionally capable. It was rumored that she even selected a blind woman for Callum, giving him a year to win her affection.
Carrie couldn’t grasp why the old lady chose Camryn, a seemingly inconsequential member of the Newman family who had been blind for ten years.
Now, she finally understood.
The old lady had a keen eye.
She recognized that Camryn was shrewd and ruthless, feigning weakness while scheming to take over the Newman enterprise and become its leader.
Despite her envy, Carrie had to concede that she did not measure up to Camryn in this aspect.
No wonder
Camryn’s parents intended to kill her. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to survive, thanks to the intervention of her aunt Evelyn. Without Evelyn’s help, Camryn would have died long ago.
