Chapter 279<\/p>\n
It was actually still quite early. However, the Hawkins family still followed the noble routines of ancient court life.<\/p>\n
Things were different at Glenshire Gardens. Cherise had just finished breakfast and was getting ready to go to Betrica. University for class. A quick look at her schedule reminded her that only two weeks remained until winter break.<\/p>\n
Time really seemed to be flying by. She walked ahead, with Morris right behind her, followed by Hannia, who had gone home with her the day before.<\/p>\n
Watching the sweet couple ahead, Hannia sighed, \u201cOh, when will I find a boyfriend who loves me as much? I\u2019m so envious\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo was the one driving.<\/p>\n
Morris helped Cherise with the car door. Hannia was about to follow them inside, but he held out a hand to stop her. \u201cYou, sit in the front.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia nodded awkwardly. \u201cOkay!\u201d Once she got in the car, Hannia suddenly felt down. She hesitated for a moment, took out her phone, typed a message, and sent it to Gina. The message read, [Happy Birthday!]<\/p>\n
They quickly arrived at Betrico University. Cherise and Hannia got out of the car.<\/p>\n
Morris remained in the car, watching the two walk away. He narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, \u201cWho\u2019s been managing the Hawkins family business these past few years?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo, in the driver\u2019s seat, responded, \u201cSir, it\u2019s Camellia. Last night, I used the Dark Web Division to investigate. Wow, their business ambition and reach are beyond ordinary people\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the surface, they seem unrelated to the Hawkins family, but beneath it all, they\u2019ve infiltrated nearly every industry. 1 can\u2019t tell if someone is guiding them from the shadows. There\u2019s no clue to follow.<\/p>\n
They can basically sit back and thrive. If the companies face issues, they can completely distance themselves. Take Felix\u2019s business, the Chambers family\u2019s assets, and the Regalflow Group, for example<\/p>\n
They\u2019re all involved and even hold a lot of shares in our Chiver Group, though not in Syphonea Group. And it\u2019s all through proxies holding the shares. That\u2019s a strategy I really respect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded thoughtfully. \u201cMm, as long as they don\u2019t cause trouble, we can coexist peacefully.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the corridor between the Engineering Department building and the Traditional Medicine Department building, Hannia bowed to Cherise in gratitude. Thank you, Cherise, for letting me stay over for the night! I won\u2019t forget you!\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, she pulled something out of her bag and handed it to Cherise. This is a gift I made for you at your house last night. I hope you\u2019ll accept it. Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise took the gift she handed over and held it in her hands. It was a small clay figure of her and Morris, looking quite lifelike. \u201cAlright, thanks, I\u2019ll take it then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia nodded, reluctantly waving goodbye to Cherise. This was probably the only close interaction she\u2019d have with Cherise, and it was really hard to let go. Though they were about the same age, standing next to Cherise gave her an incredibly strong sense of security.<\/p>\n
you next week in the class!\u201d she said, waving as she walked into the classroom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m off then. See you<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and turned to head towards the Traditional Medicine Department. She wasn\u2019t the kind of person who would save others from crises, nor would she interfere in their personal matters.<\/p>\n
At the Hawkins residence at the foot of Agrieviel, by noon, the guests began arriving in large numbers,<\/p>\n

There was laughter and chatter in the main hall where Garrick led. Two elderly men with white hair sat across from ear other, enjoying coffee and conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSamson, after all these years, you\u2019ve finally come back to Clusia It\u2019s really something, hahaha! The one speaking was Garrick Hawkins, Hannia\u2019s grandfather and also Rita\u2019s younger brother. When he spoke, his eyes showed a sharp and calm<\/p>\n
demeanor.<\/p>\n
The old man sitting across from him was Nolan\u2019s grandfather, Sinson. He was equally sharp but had a more relaxed and easygoing aura than Garrick<\/p>\n
our own<\/p>\n
He chuckled, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like being in your own homeland iving abroad isn\u2019t as comfortable as staying in our own country. Well, I only have this one grandson, so I have to go see how he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh right, what about Hannia? Why haven\u2019t I seen her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick\u2019s eyes flickered. \u201cShe is away at school. She stays there and doesn\u2019t come back often.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samson looked puzzled. \u201cNot even for her mother\u2019s birthday? That doesn\u2019t seem right. I liked that girl at first sight. She\u2019s well\u2013mannered and polite. I wonder if you have been too hard on her.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a girl, it\u2019s best to keep her innocence. Being healthy and happy is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick smiled genuinely, \u2018She should be back. Don\u2019t worry about it. Old friends are starting to gather in the backyard. Let\u2019s go take a look. It\u2019s been ages since you were here, and everyone really misses you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh right. Let\u2019s go. It\u2019s been decades since I\u2019ve seen some of them, Carrick\u2019s words seemed to distract Samson, and perhaps Hannia was just too busy with her studies to come home.<\/p>\n
