Chapter 359
When Morris mentioned the name Yulia, Cherise didn’t find it surprising.
“Oh, it’s her,” she said, a mocking smile on her face.
Morris looked at her, asking, “Cherise, we’ve found Carson, so what about the Muller family?”
Cherise met Morris’s gaze and said, “Once we have everything clear, let’s settle what needs to be settled.”
As she spoke, a hint of coldnessappeared in her eyes,
“Well, when it comes to

in his voice.
Cherise nodded obediently.
After a moment’s thought, she planned to look for Hannia again when back in Betrico.
With the cursed bug she encountered last time, maybe she could try using Carson’s method to break it. If it worked, they wouldn’t need to worry about these situations in the future.
Two days later, at the entrance of Cherise’s house in Saphira, Lee and Crow were busy loading boxes onto their car.
They were all specialty goods from Yasvissa, prepared by Dennis and Bella. Of course, there were also those wooden boxes given by Carson.
“Ms. Leach, it’s almost New Year’s next week, and Dennis and I have prepared a gift for you. In the past, your mother would have given you one, but now that she’s not here, we will keep this tradition for you every New Year.
“We won’t be going to Betrico this time. But we’ll definitely be there for your wedding,” Bella said, reluctantly handing Cherise the gift.
Cherise warmly hugged Bella. “Okay, thank you, Bella! You and Dennis take care and feel free to call me anytime. Don’t worry about the costs.”
“Sure, sure.” Dennis and Bella nodded continuously.
The two vans slowly drove away.
From the car window, Cherise peeked out and waved to Dennis and Bella before going back inside.
With New Year coming up, Marlon and Trent were also heading back to Betrico to celebrate.
All of a sudden, Saphira seemed to return to its usual quietness.
Betrico, at the base of Azure Peak.
“Grandma, I have plans to have afternoon tea with Lisa and Jean so I won’t be back for dinner tonight. Looking very chic today, Yulia gave Kita a quick heads–up before heading out.
Nodding, Rita smiled, “Yes, that’s how it should be. Girls need to have their own social circle. The two young ladies from the milies are really outstanding. Getting along well with them is definitely beneficial.”

Chapter 339
Rita had been sharing her insights on the realities of marriage with Yulia these past few days, and Yulia found herself agreeing more and more.
Love was definitely important. However, compared to the vague dea of love, status and reputation were much more
Coliciele.
Of course, having status, reputation, and love all at the same time would be ideal. But in reality, such perfection is just a fantasy, merely wishful thinking.
Yulia nodded obediently, ‘Okay, I’ll be off now.”
“Go on, dear,” Rita said kindly, watching her with a loving smile. After all, she had placed all her hopes on her only granddaughter.
Once Yulia left, the living room was left to her alone.
She took a seemingly satisfied sip of her coffee until the sound of footsteps echoed in the room.
A figure appeared at the living room doorway.
Rita with her head lowered, slowly lifted her gaze.
Against the light, the figure was hard to make out However, just from the silhouette, she instantly knew
it was
Suddenly standing up, she said, “Rayburn, after so many years, you’ve never come to the Hawkins residence before. Why today? Come, sit down quickly, and I’ll make you a cup of coffee
The visitor was none other than Rayburn.
Rita was pleasantly surprised. All these years, whether in Hamolica or Betrico, Rayburn had never entered her room. Today was the first time he did.
Rayburn slowly walked into the living room, didn’t sit down, and just stood there staring at Rita in front of him. “It really is my first time stepping into this room.
even more daring.”
“I honestly didn’t want to come here. However, if I didn’t, I feared you’d become even
Rita was a bit taken aback, seemingly confused, and asked Rayburn, “Rayburn, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying” Rayburn let out a cold snort at these words, “Hmph, Rita, seeing how you never actually leave the house, I thought you were keeping a low profile after joining the Muller family, but I guess was wrong
“Are you genuinely clueless, or just pretending to be? I don’t care what your intentions are or what you’re thinking. If you want to continue living peacefully, you should drop those self–important habits you think are so grand, and clear that dirty mind of yours.
“Back in Hamolica, everyone got along, and I could ignore you. But, if you overstep your boundaries, don’t blame me for not being polite. Back then, how did our marriage come to be? I cant believe it was solely decided by our parents.”
Rita, hearing this, remained composed and stood there with great elegance.
She didn’t show a hint of panic. “Oh, Rayburn, you come barging into my room for no reason, giving me a lecture. Am I getting old? Why don’t I understand a single word you’re saying
Rayburn looked at the calm person in front of him and shook his head, saying, “Alright! Yulia grew up right under my nose. I know she’s not an outgoing kid, but she’s not someone who would ruin another’s relationships.
There’s one reason only, and that’s you manipulating her and babinwashing her. Do you dare deny it I suggest that if you still want to save face, take a step back, or the Muller Emily mig not have room for you anymore!”
