Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

While Carrie was young and insolent, it was not like she did not know better.
Her mind flew back to her plan being foiled by Serenity at the Dowlings’ party. She was manhandled by Serenity and forced to
drink the drugged alcohol by Elisa. The drug overtook her sanity and drove her to take her clothes off at the Dowlings’ residence.
Carrie’s mother jumped into action and brought her home in haste. Carried had to bathe in ice-cold water to regain her
consciousness. However, the same cold bath spiked her fever.
Her parents were heartbroken for her.
Nevertheless, they did nothing to demand justice for her.
This was because the country bumpkin had Mr. York by her side.
Her father explained to Carrie that although the Newmans did not operate their business in Wiltspoon, they were not to cross Mr.
York. York Corporation had business dealings across major cities, and the bad blood may provoke York Corporation to steal the
Newmans’ business. Newman Enterprise would suffer as a consequence of her actions.
Carrie’s father also criticized her for going too far—she should not have drugged Camryn. There was more than one way to pop
Camryn’s cherry and make her the laughingstock of the community, so to do it at the banquet was uncalled for.
If that was not enough, Carrie had ruined their own image. It would be hard for Carrie to find a husband now that the wives of
other wealthy families believed she was wicked.
That was the first time Carrie realized how powerful Zachary was. Even her parents, who gave her all the love and everything in
the world, could do nothing to stand up for her.
Serenity gave Carrie a dirty look, acting and speaking cockier than ever. Carrie winced in fear for a change.
“Just you wait, you country bumpkin!”
With her finger up Serenity’s nose, Carrie snapped a threat before turning on her heel to leave. On her way out, she kicked over
several pots of flowers on purpose.
Serenity was tempted to chop off Carrie’s legs.

Everybody used to say that Elisa was uncouth, ill-tempered, and cocky. Nevertheless, compared to Carrie, Elisa rose above all
graces.
Elisa was haughty and refused to engage with anyone who did not vibe with her. She would not hesitate to put the person, who
got all over her face to befriend her, in their place.
Carrie demonstrated tasteless willfulness and arrogance.
She drove away in her multi-million-dollar car.
Carrie planned to go home and have a chat with her mother. Carrie did not see an issue of hiring a few thugs to teach Serenity a
lesson out of spite.
Noah would be the first to jump out and stop Carrie’s plan if he knew what Carrie was up to. He had tried the same trick before,
and Serenity single-handedly beat him and the thugs up to a pulp.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. York.”
Serenity responded tenderly, “It’s not your fault. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
“You’re my guest, but Carrie had to ruin it for you. I should’ve come earlier, so you didn’t have to suffer through her insults.”
Serenity replied, “There is a huge social gap between me and my husband. Carrie isn’t the only one who sees me that way, and
she won’t be the last. The others have more tact than putting it into words.”
Youth and arrogance helped Carrie speak the mind of the other wealthy wives.
These people saw Serenity as nothing more than a country bumpkin who simply stumbled upon good fortune.
“All humans are equal. It only matters what Mr. York thinks of you. Who cares what other people think?”
Camryn smiled and beckoned for Serenity to come in. She said, “You must be here to buy flowers. Who is the lucky person to
receive your flowers?”
Serenity walked with Camryn into the flower shop.

She said, “I’m here to buy flowers for my husband. What do you recommend, Ms. Newman? Can you put together something for
me?”
