\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 319<\/p>\n
Chapter 319<\/p>\n
The weather in Yasvissa was completely different from that of Betrico.<\/p>\n
One was warm like spring, while the other was cold and gloomy<\/p>\n
Nolan, knowing the complexities of the Hawkins family, had managed to provide a stable refuge for Hannia.<\/p>\n
His actions were entirely out of kindness; there were no deeper feelings involved, nor did he have any such intentions.<\/p>\n
Nolan said, \u201cHannia, let nie set some rules. Your stay here is entirely thanks to Cherise. She advised me that, during this time, you should stay here without leaving. Don\u2019t worry; I won\u2019t let you be bored.<\/p>\n
\u201cTorin, please bring me the documents we prepared today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia was confused by his strange behavior, but since she was staying under his roof, she knew she had to comply.<\/p>\n
Torin handed the papers to Nolan.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst: while you\u2019re staying in my house, you\u2019re responsible for all household chores, including laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Second: you can\u2019t leave without my permission.<\/p>\n
\u201cThird: to make sure none of the Hawkins family finds you, I\u2019ll give you a new phone. As you know, I didn\u2019t like the atmosphere when I visited your home.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from my affection for Cherise, I\u2019m selfish when it comes to others, so I hope you won\u2019t involve me in the complicated matters of your family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that all?\u201d Hannia asked.<\/p>\n
Nolan nodded. \u201cThat\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stood up and took the document from his hands. \u201cI expected something much more complicated. As a homebody who doesn\u2019t like going out, I\u2019m good at domestic tasks. I assure you, I won\u2019t cause you any trouble!\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan looked at her. \u201cI sincerely hope that\u2019s the case!\u201d<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in Garrick\u2019s room, a servant brought him a cup of herbal tea.<\/p>\n
Gina sat nearby, her concern clear as she asked Garrick, \u201cThe toxin you gave Hannia\u2013will it harm her health? Camellia is already gone; I can\u2019t bear for anything to happen to Hannia too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick took a sip of tea, a touch of disdain on his face. \u201cYour maternal instincts are touching. Don\u2019t worry, Hannia must align with the Graves family, and the poison is just a way to control her without causing harm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gina sighed in relief. \u201cIt\u2019s been two days since she left the Hawkins family. I\u2019ve heard that Betrico University is on break. Should we assume she can return home now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick nodded. \u201cYes, it\u2019s time. Once she\u2019s back, you should talk about an engagement with the Graves family. Since they just -returned to Betrico now is the perfect time to set things up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gina agreed eagerly.<\/p>\n
Garrick took another sip of tea and then asked the servant to bring a box from his drawer.<\/p>\n
A few moments later, the servant carefully placed an old wooden box on the table beside Garrick.<\/p>\n

Gina looked at the box, then at Garrick.<\/p>\n
GPS<\/p>\n
Garrick set his cup down, stood up, and opened the box. After looking over its contents, he took out a golden bell.<\/p>\n
Gina\u2019s anxiety grew as she nervously pinched her fingers.<\/p>\n
Holding the golden bell, Garrick walked toward the door, staring at the cloudy sky outside.<\/p>\n
He muttered an incantation, then shook the bell several times.<\/p>\n
He repeated the process, facing south and then north, murmuring another incantation, and shaking the bell again.<\/p>\n
The entire sequence took about ten minutes.<\/p>\n
Finally, Garrick placed the bell back into the wooden box. \u201cIn one hour, Hannia will return,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At that moment, it was past midnight, and Hannia, blissfully unaware of what was happening, was fast asleep in her bed.<\/p>\n
An hour passed quickly.<\/p>\n
Inside Garrick\u2019s home, the clock ticked loudly, each second like a heartbeat.<\/p>\n
Gina, unable to hide her excitement, stood up and went outside, straining to see the main door at the end of the hallway.<\/p>\n
Garrick, on the other hand, remained calm, enjoying his herbal tea, confident in his witchcraft.<\/p>\n
However, as time went past one hour and ten minutes, Hannia was still not back.<\/p>\n
Noticing the time, Garrick frowned. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? This should have worked perfectly by now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gina, hearing Garrick, hurried in, worried. \u201cIf Hannia hasn\u2019t left Betrico, she shouldn\u2019t take more than an hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense for her to be missing. I had someone track her; after visiting Nolan, she went to Betrico University and then returned to her apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick shook his head. \u201cWhere she is doesn\u2019t matter for witchcraft. Once under a curse, it doesn\u2019t matter where the person is\u2013control can still be maintained.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the bell hasn\u2019t chimed again, which means something is wrong. This can only be the work of an exceptionally skilled sorcerer or a powerful counter\u2013sorcerer. To my knowledge, there\u2019s no one of that level here.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he spoke, his sharp gaze remained fixed on the overcast sky outside, deep in thought.<\/p>\n
Gina, visibly shaken, asked, \u201cWhat should we do? Hannia won\u2019t return?\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrick tapped his fingers on the table, thinking for a moment. \u201cLet\u2019s leave it for now. Everyone should get some rest. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll prepare for my trip to Hamolica.\u201d<\/p>\n
