Mary invited quite several guests, but nearly all of them were influential people. The Quinton family was her maternal family, so she naturally invited all of them.
politely
She rarely appeared in Betrico, so the people registering and inspecting were left wondering who this elegant and noble old lady was, to receive such respect from the guards.
Rita had visited before and was known to be an old acquaintance of Mary. The guards at the gate greeted her very p
The young lady next to her looked somewhat familiar.
“Yulia, let’s go!” Rita said with a warm smile to Yulia, who was beside her.
When Yulia’s name was mentioned, some people finally remembered and whispered, “Oh, I know, that’s Yulia, the professor from Regalwood University’s Traditional Medicine Department.
“She’s the only daughter of the Muller family, you know, the low–key family that makes everyone forget about their huge wealth
Once someone mentioned it, everyone else seemed to catch on
The weather was great today, surprisingly warm with sunshine, and the Jarrett family had their party on the lawn of their grand estate.
There were fine wines, tasty food, flowers, and balloons. The elite guests were all dressed beautifully, shining with their luxurious styles.
“Hey, isn’t that Rita? It’s been so long since we last met,” said another elegant old lady.
Rita heard the voice and seemed pleased, “Oh, Alice! Yes, it’s me, Rita. It’s been a while since we last met, how are you?” Standing next to Alice was Yulia, who had joined Yulia and Jean for afternoon coffee the other day.
With everyone chatting, the entire Jarrett residence was more lively than ever before.
Lucas and Mary also came out, their faces glowing, looking friendly and kind.
Everyone there eagerly stepped up to greet them, offer New Year’s wishes, and make themselves known, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and vibrant.
The young ladies and gentlemen chatted about entertainment and gossip. The older gentlemen and ladies discussed life. finance, and national affairs.
Another car arrived at the Jarrett residence’s gate, but unlike the others, it was saluted and allowed in without needing registration checks. The arrivals were Morris and Cherise.
Once the car came to a stop, the two got out. Unlike their visit to Carson’s place, where they carried large bags, they only brought a few small items to the Jarrett residence.
“Come on, let’s go,” Morris said to Cherise, taking her hand as they heard the lively music ahead.
Cherise nodded, letting him interlace his fingers with hers.
Looking ahead, she saw a lively scene on the lawn. People of all ages were enjoying themselves with laughter on the lawn.
Someone noticed Cherise and Morris and shouted, “Isn’t that Me Chivers? He’s here. He’s here to greet his grandparents for the New Year, and that stunning beauty beside him is his wife, right?

“In person, she’s even more dazzling and stunning. Plus, she’s a professor at Betrico University and the CEO of GlobalVision Group. They’re a perfect match!”
At that comment, everyone turned their gaze towards the couple. Lucas and Mary, along with Jean, also noticed them.
“Wow, I love people with good looks, and this sister–in–law is exactly my type. With a face like that, I’d applaud her no matter what she does,” Jean couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing Cherise in person.
Lucas nodded in satisfaction when he saw Cherise and waved then over. “Morris, granddaughter–in–law, come over quickly Mary, why are you standing there? They’ve arrived, where’s the gift?”
Mary was momentarily stunned when she saw them. The resemblance between Megan and Cherise was so striking that she hesitated to step forward.

Lucas, she responded with a bit of reluctance and awkwardness, “Oh, okay!”
Rita, observing from the side, noticed a flicker of unexplainable emotion in her expression.
“Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!” After greeting Lucas and Mary, Morris introduced the person he was holding tightly by his side. This is my wife, Cherise Leach.”
Cherise politely nodded and greeted them as well, “Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!” After she spoke, she asked Morris to give them the gifts she had brought.
Old Lucas couldn’t stop smiling. “Yes, yes, that’s right! When I saw that picture on my phone the other day, I thought she. looked just like an old classmate of mine.
“I thought I had made a mistake, but seeing her today, I realize wasn’t wrong. In person, she looks even more similar, but a tad prettier than my old classmate. Don’t you agree, Mary?*
Mary wasn’t sure why Lucas asked her, so she gave him an awkward smile and said, “Oh, yes, she does look like her a lot.” Jean looked at them and asked, “Look like who? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Happy New Year, Morris and cousin–in–law! Morris, you’ve really hit the jackpot. My cousin–in–law is so young and beautiful!”
o crowded here. This is Morris’s first time bringing his wife here. Let’s “Jean, don’t scare them. Let’s move inside. It’s go chat inside, Lucas said, leading them toward the house.
As they passed by everyone, he added, “No need to be formal! I’m just going to have a chat with my grandson and granddaughter–in–law, We’ll be back out soon. Jean, make sure to entertain our guests properly.”
