My Billionaire Family 359

Chapter 359

When Morris mentioned the nYulia, 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

said, a trace of concertchcraft, | honestly don't know how to help. It's best to be more cautious about

everything." Morris

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 | 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, | have plans to have afternoon tea with Lisa and Jean so | 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." 93%1

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 stwould 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 cto 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 the 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 tstepping into this room. even more daring."

"I honestly didn't want to chere. However, if | didn't, | feared you'd beceven

Rita was a bit taken aback, seemingly confused, and asked Rayburn, "Rayburn, | 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, | thought you were keeping a low profile after joining the Muller family, but | guess was wrong

"Are you genuinely clueless, or just pretending to be? | don't care what your intentions are or what you're

thinking. If you want to continue living peacefully, you should drop those self

grand, and clear that dirty mind of yours. "Back in Hamolica, everyone got along, and | could ignore you. But, if

you overstep your boundaries, don't blme for not being polite. Back then, how did our marriage cto be?

| 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 cbarging into my room for no reason, givinga

lecture. Am | getting old? Why don't | 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. | 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 | suggest

that if you still want to save face, take a step back, or the Muller Emily mig not have room for you anymore!"
