Chapter 414
After Rayburn finished talking, he took off his glasses and wiped his face with his old hands.
He lowered his head, unable to speak for a moment.
Cherise took a deep breath and said softly, “Let the past go, there’s no need to feel guilty anymore.”
She then handed him a tissue.
Rayburn took it, looked up at her, and asked, “Was your grandmother happy all these years?
“How did she end up so far in Yasvissa?”
Cherise met his gaze and said. “She was really happy, very happy
It was true–her grandmother had been an optimistic, positive person.
Cherise remembered that the only time her grandmother was truly sad was when her mother passed away; other than that, she was always smiling
Rayburn nodded, “Your grandmother’s nature… she was always so cheerful. She shouldn’t have had any trouble being happy”
Cherise nodded too, but her face grew a little more serious as she continued, “My grandmother was driven to a small, undeveloped town south of Clusia, near Yasvissa.
“They meant to destroy her.
“Luckily, my master saved her.
“After that, she lived almost in isolation in Saphira until last year!
“When she met my master, she was on the edge of death, cursed with witchcraft.”
Cherise said it all honestly but didn’t mention the details of her grandmother’s fate or what happened with Carson.
She felt Rayburn would understand those things without her saying them.
When Rayburn heard about her grandmother’s near–death experience and the witchcraft, he was shocked. “Witchcraft, on the brink of death?”
Cherise nodded again, “Yes, it wasn’t just my grandmother who was cursed.
“You were too. When I did the paternity test, I found traces of its your blood, just like with Warren and Cousin Jason
“But you
yours
was faint, almost gone.
“If I’m not wrong, this must have been done before your wedding with Yulia’s grandmother. As for who did it, that’s hard to
tell.”
Rayburn suddenly understood, his eyes flashing with anger as he gripped the armrests of his chair tightly
Noticing Rayburn’s anger, Cherise smiled softly and said, “Honey, the main reason I agreed to hold the reunion party was to find the person behind the witchcraft.
“T’ll take her life.”

Chapter 414
Cherise’s eyes held a mysterious gleam.
Rayburn calmed down and said, “So, I dragged Megan into all of this… I really messed up..
“But she was lucky to meet Dorian. Lowe your master a big thank you.
“Otherwise…”
Rayburn couldn’t finish his sentence.
Cherise nodded and spoke truthfully, “The debt we owe to my master for what he did for my grandmoth never repay it.
“He lost his legs after removing the witchcraft from my grandmother.”
“So he treated your grandinother well? Rayburn immediately asked.
“Yes, it wasn’t just him. My grandmother treated him well too, Cherise replied without hesitation.
Rayburn nodded deeply, “That’s good.”
His voice became softer, almost inaudible.
After that, he lowered his head, sinking into deep silence.
There was a knock at the study door.
Rayburn slowly lifted his head and said, “Come in,”
74%
d me… we can
The door opened, and Jason’s mother, Seraphina, stepped in. After briefly glancing at Cherise, she turned to Rayburn and said, “Dad, Mrs. Muller is at the door.
“She says she’s still the mistress of the Muller family, and since Cherise is here visiting her grandmother’s house for the first/ time, she wants to give her a gift.
“She also wants to meet Cherise and have a chat with her.
“What do you think?
“Cherise, how do you feel about it?
“If you don’t want to see her, I can go out and turn her away. I’m not afraid to upset anyone.”
After Seraphina finished speaking and saw that the two of them didn’t say anything but just exchanged a glance, she was about to turn around and leave when Cherise stood up.
She took a few steps forward and stopped Seraphina, “Seraphin wait.
“Since she is so thoughtful to send me a gift, I should go out and take a look in person. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be right
Rayburn also got up. “Tll come with you and meet her.”
Cherise smiled and stopped him, “No need, Grandpa. You don’t look too good, so why don’t you rest for a bit?
“I just need to talk to her for a moment.”
“Cherise, you.” Rayburn called nut
Cherise turned to glance at him. Please rest up. When you feel better, we can have dinner together before heading back to
