She later changed her name to Amelia and gave birth to our daughter alone. Unfortunately, she also died in an accident.<\/p>\n<p>With each word, Rita and Garrick felt a tightening in their hearts<\/p>\n<p>After Rayburn finished his last sentence, he sighed. Before anyone could fully digest his words, he quickly added, \u201cThough our daughter is gone, she left behind a wonderful granddaughter, who is here today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI<\/p>\n<p>believe you all know her. Please give her a round of applause. I want to share this joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he stopped speaking, applause erupted mixed with whispers,<\/p>\n<p>People began to speculate, \u201cWho could it be? There are so many young women here today. Who exactly is his granddaughter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis feels staged. Everything feels so overly dramatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to see this lost granddaughter. With the Muller family\u2019s wealth, wouldn\u2019t she be the most adored?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yulia\u2019s expression shifted as she glanced at her grandmother, who maintained her calm demeanor, seemingly unfazed.<\/p>\n<p>Yulia wondered, \u201cWho is it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inside, however, Rita was distressed, repeatedly whispering, \u2018Impossible! Rayburn, don\u2019t force me<\/p>\n<p>Nearby, Garrick watched Rita with concern, wondering where Rayburn would find someone to deceive everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The applause continued for a long time before it quieted down.<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn\u2019s voice rang out again, \u201cThank you all. Let me introduce my granddaughter, Cherise. Cherise, come here.\u201d Rayburn, with a doting expression, beckoned Cherise over,<\/p>\n<p>His announcement was like a bombshell, shocking everyone present.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation that he had found his granddaughter was surprising enough, but naming her as the renowned Cherise sent shockwaves through the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCherise, is that really you?\u201d Phoebe asked in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>1\/2<\/p>\n<p>2\/2<\/p>\n<p>09:10 Fri, Dec 20<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 404<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCherise, is it true?
