Chapter 473
Gina’s scream was loud, harsh, and filled with panic.
I woke up several servants who had already gone to bed.
Rita didn’t know what was going on with her but just thought she was acting crazy. She frowned in displeasure and said, “What’s the matter? Is this how a noble lady should behave?
“How are you different from a street brawler?”
However, no matter what Rita said, Gina kept screaming and even stepped back repeatedly.
Several servants, already dressed, rushed over, thinking something had happened.
Nellie, who had worked for Rita for many years, also hurried over.
When she ran into the living room, she first looked at Gina, who was cowering in the corner, and said, “Mrs. Hawkins, what’s wrong?”
Gina shook her head, unwilling to speak, only pointing directly at Rita.
Nellie followed the direction of Gina’s finger and was startled to see the person sitting on the sofa.
But she was very sure it was Rita, the one she had looked after since she was little.
Nellie rushed over to Rita, saying, “Mrs. Muller, what’s happened to you?”
Rita’s frown deepened, saying, “Nellie, why do you act this way too? What on earth is going on?
“Just stay calm; don’t be so dramatic.”
Nellie looked around the living room, “Mrs. Muller, you should check the mirror. I can’t describe it.
“Your appearance has changed, seriously.”
While saying this, Nellie began to tremble a bit.
She wasn’t sure how to describe it, worried that if she said something to upset Rita, she would be in trouble.
Rita noticed the way Nellie and Gina were acting, and the servants outside were too frightened to speak.
She raised her hand to touch her cheek and realized something was wrong, so she immediately stood up.
She walked over to the side table where the mirror was.
As she leaned in for a closer look, she was so startled that she stumbled back a few steps.
After standing there in shock for a few minutes, she finally said, “Turn on all the lights in the living room.”
The servants quickly did it.
With the lights on, the living room was instantly as bright as daytime.
Rita stepped forward again, moving back to the mirror.
She looked at her reflection. Before tonight, with the help of her excellent maintenance and advanced medical technology, she didn’t appear to be in her seventies.

Her hair was black, her skin smooth and firm, and many who knew her thought she was at most only fifty.
But now, staring back from the mirror, her hair was gone, replaced by dry, white strands, and her skin had somehow become wrinkled and loose.
Age spots, blemishes, and liver spots had all appeared.
She was no longer the elegant, dignified, wealthy lady she used to be when she had left home that morning. All she saw was an unsightly old woman.
Anger, malice, and gloominess were all apparent in her eyes at this moment.
She knew what was happening.
“Hahaha…” Rita laughed loudly a few times, grabbed the mirror from the side table, and violently smashed it onto the floor. The glass shattered into sharp shards, reflecting countless unsightly faces.
She yelled, “Cherise, you’re something. Megan’s descendants are just seductive like her. I will never let you off!
“Even if I have to die, I’ll take you down with me.
“Cherise, I admit you’re skilled, but don’t get too smug too soon.
“Hahaha…
That final laugh was both sinister and boastful.
Gina and the servants cowered in the corners of the living room, frightened by her manner.
Rita looked like an old witch from a movie finally getting her comeuppance.
A servant wanted to run away in terror, but Rita turned around and fiercely glared at her, causing the servant to collapse onto the floor, unable to move.
Gina was at a loss for what to do. She suddenly thought of her two daughters. She longed for family to be by her side, instead of living a desolate life she was leading now without goals.
Most people probably didn’t appreciate what they had until it was truly gone.
In the middle of summer, The sky was already bright before six o’clock.
Cherise and Morris left the house dressed in workout gear, giving off a leisurely vibe.
An hour and a half later, they returned home drenched in sweat
Cherise finished washing up just as Morris picked up his clean clothes and headed to the bathroom.
After he finished showering, he realized Cherise was nowhere to be seen in the house.
Feeling a bit anxious, he checked the time. He thought, ‘That can’t be right; she has class in the afternoon and shouldn’t have left so early.
‘Could something have happened again?‘
This thought brought back the fear from when Cherise went missing last time.
Nervously, he called out a few times and ran to look over the first floor. “Cherise… Cherise, where are you? Don’t scare me,

okay?
“Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving?
“Cherise… Cherise…”
He continuously called her while quickly moving from upstairs to downstairs, his expression tense.
It wasn’t until he heard the kitchen sliding door open that Morris turned to look, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
After noticing what she was doing, he smiled broadly.
