Chapter 310<\/p>\n
Harold stared at the news on his computer, his face showing stress. \u201cMorris is a clever guy, and now he has a woman who is just as capable by his side. You two don\u2019t belong together, and I won\u2019t allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n
His expression turned sneaky and mean.<\/p>\n
At the Hawkins residence, Yulia wrapped herself in a thick blanket.<\/p>\n
After watching the news about Cherise more than an hour ago, the words Cherise had said to her that day kept flashing through her mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour demeanor has changed. A fine young lady like you should not belittle herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
A sharp headache hit her, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.<\/p>\n
It felt like the last bit of her dignity had been taken away, leaving her exposed and weak. At the same time, she felt a deep envy for another woman\u2013a jealousy that consumed her entirely<\/p>\n
Every graceful move, every skill Cherise had, and every part of her identity was something Yulia desperately wanted but couldn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n
She longed for it so much that her jealousy turned into a wish to ruin Cherise.<\/p>\n
That night was meant to bring joy for some and sadness for others.<\/p>\n
The moment Camellia stepped out of GlobalVision Group, she called Rita in Hamolica to tell her everything that had happened in Betrico.<\/p>\n
Actually, even without her call, Rita already knew what was going on.<\/p>\n
At the Muller residence in Hamolica, the night sky was dark, and gentle rain tapped softly, creating an eerie calm.<\/p>\n
Inside, Rita sat alone at a table, with fragrant smoke curling up from an incense burner.<\/p>\n
The scent was comforting yet mysterious, calming her nerves.<\/p>\n
In front of her was a big screen showing a recording of Cherise\u2019s speech from the press conference earlier that day.<\/p>\n
She had been watching it intently.<\/p>\n
With a voice filled with nostalgia, she said softly, \u201cMegan, after all these years, have you come back? Could Cherise be connected to you?<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise truly shines in a way that makes her hard to like, doesn\u2019t she? Just like you, but she is even harder to warm up to. What do you think I should do about her?\u201d<\/p>\n
While everything seemed calm on the outside, hidden troubles were brewing beneath.<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, just ten minutes after Camellia arrived at Orlinth Innovations, there was a knock at the door.<\/p>\n
A staff member came in, looking anxious. \u201cMs. Hawkins, we have a problem. A group of uniformed people wants to see you. They say they want to search our place.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Camellia stood up quickly upon hearing this.<\/p>\n
While she wasn\u2019t as panicked as the staff member, she hadn\u2019t expected this.<\/p>\n

Fixing her appearance, she followed the staff member outside.<\/p>\n
Indeed, a gro<\/p>\n
2.91%<\/p>\n
of uniformed individuals was waiting for her, and when she stepped out, the leading officer came forward.<\/p>\n
Holding up a document, he said, \u201cMs. Hawkins, hello. Are you the legal representative of Orlinth Innovations?\u201d<\/p>\n
Camellia nodded. \u201cYes. Can I ask what this is about?\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer showed the document and said, \u201cWe\u2019ve received tips that Orlinth Innovations is involved in malicious short- selling in the stock market. We\u2019re here to search for evidence. We ask for your full cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this, Camellia let out a sarcastic laugh. \u201cWith how fierce competition is in business, many companies short\u2013sell each other. So why are we being targeted? This informant is probably Cherise, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer said, \u201cWe\u2019re just following orders, and we hope you will cooperate. If you refuse, we may need to take stronger action. Search!\u201d<\/p>\n
With that command, a dozen officers began a thorough search of the area.<\/p>\n
Camellia laughed again. \u201cHa! It looks like your jobs are at stake. In Betrico, no one is brave enough to challenge the Hawkins family.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, she got ready to act against the approaching officers.<\/p>\n
Recognizing her skills, the officer angrily ordered two tall, well\u2013trained subordinates to firmly hold her down.<\/p>\n
Though frustrated, Camellia found she had no choice but to accept it.<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, several staff members came out of her office, carrying a pile of documents and a laptop.<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Camellia\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief. \u201cYou are stealing from me! I will report you for this!\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer glanced at the confiscated items and shouted, \u201cTake the evidence and Ms. Hawkins with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir,\u201d the other members replied together.<\/p>\n
Camellia chose not to fight back, trying to keep her dignity, firmly believing the Hawkins family would protect her reputation and ensure no stain would tarnish it.<\/p>\n
In less than fifteen minutes, the Hawkins family indeed learned that Camellia was under investigation.<\/p>\n
Garrick blew up in anger. \u201cI always said her ambitions were too big; what could she possibly achieve? How are we going to save face for the Hawkins family now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though Gina didn\u2019t care much for Camellia, she couldn\u2019t completely dismiss her as a daughter; claiming to feel nothing for her would be lying. \u201cShe is still our family. Are we really going to abandon her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick huffed in disgust, shaking his head in irritation as he looked at Gina and dialed a number.<\/p>\n
After several rings, the line connected. \u201cHello, Garrick.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing the familiar voice, Garrick responded, \u201cRita, this situation with Camellia might get complicated; what do you think?<\/p>\n
There was a brief pause on the other end. \u201cAbandon her.\u201d Rita ended the call.<\/p>\n
