In early winter, right fell swiftly. The Hawkins residence was no longer bustling and lively like it was during the day and was now quiet and solemn.<\/p>\n<p>From a distance, it appeared dark and dense, creating a mysterious and solerin aura.<\/p>\n<p>Inside Garrick\u2019s room, he sat at the main seat in the center, with day\u2019s birthday lady, Gina, seated beside him, closely followed by Camellia, Garrick held a large pipe, bringing it to his lips and taking a deep puff.<\/p>\n<p>He exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and tapped on the table. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on with Hannia? Can\u2019t you, as her mother, manage to bring her back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gina shook her head, appearing helpless. \u201cSir, you know Hannia lias always been headstrong. When she was young. I thought I could manage her, but now that she\u2019s grown up, it\u2019s truly impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garrick put the pipe down. \u201cEven if it seems impossible, you go to discipline her! Samson has come here looking for her, and I have no idea where to find her. If it weren\u2019t for the many guests distracting him today, we would have been exposed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he finds out Hannia hasn\u2019t been home for a year, what will they think of her or our entire family? Our Hawkins family is not just any small family. We are a noble lineage, a distinguished household that cannot allow such unruly behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamson means that his grandson is 26, and Hannia is 20. It\u2019s time to arrange their marriage, settling an important matter for both families. So, she must be found within these two days, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Garrick spoke, nobody in the room dared to say a word in response. The silence was so intense that one could hear a pin drop.<\/p>\n<p>Camellia was anxious. The simple words had completely disturbed her mind. She stood up with defiance in her eyes. \u201cGrandpa, we\u2019ve searched for her, but she just doesn\u2019t want to come back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t you see that Hannia\u2019s absence means she doesn\u2019t like this marriage and is trying to avoid it? Why must it be Hannia? Or rather, why does Hannia have to marry into the Graves family?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Camellia said this, the room became even quieter. Especially the servants standing at the back, each with their head bowed, scarcely daring to breathe, afraid of getting involved by accident.<\/p>\n<p>Garrick glared coldly at Camellia, and threw the glass pipe in his hand at her, where it shattered with a sharp noise at her feet. The glass shards scattered everywhere, almost hitting Camellia\u2019s check.<\/p>\n<p>Gina kept quiet, but her expression wasn\u2019t exactly pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>Garrick stood up as well, pointing at Camellia in anger. \u201cDo you think I don\u2019t know what\u2019s on your mind? Hannia has never seen Nolan, but you have. You can\u2019t stop thinking about him, and you want to take Hannia\u2019s place in marrying him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you should ask the Graves family, see if Samson agrees. He\u2019s set on Hannia alone. He personally arranged the engagement and even named her himself. Not someone like you who\u2019s nothing and just wants to take her place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camellia did feel unsatisfied, but she knew she wasn\u2019t strong chough yet, so she had to stay silent again, letting Garrick lecture her. \u201cI see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garrick\u2019s anger had faded. \u201cI command you to bring Hannia back at all costs. If she resists again, use the special methods.\u201d Gina looked up abruptly at Garrick. \u201cSir, Hannia is your own granddaughter and my biological daughter. Is it really necessary to go that far?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camellia, however, remained unchanged, seemingly very much in agreement with Garrick\u2019s approach her eyes filled with a sinister gleam.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 280<\/p>\n<p>Noticing Gina\u2019s reaction: Cacrick snorted coldly, Hmph. there We need to align with an outstanding family through marriage<\/p>\n<p>no male heirs in our generation of the Hawkins family secure our family\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>As for the so\u2013called Four Great Families of Betrico, the only one think is worthy is Morris from the Chivers family. The other three may appear glamorous on the surface, but they\u2019re not up to our standards at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Morris isn\u2019t an option since my dear sister fancies him too. We can only take a step back and opt for the Graves family. Fortunately, the Graves family isn\u2019t bad either, and I have some connections with Samson<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, this marriage must absolutely be secured. I\u2019ve explained all this in hopes that you will remember it. It\u2019s getting late. You all should go back to your rooms. By tomorrow night at the latest, I want to see Hannia\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SEND GIFT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-305","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
