Rita stood there, watching them disappear into the distance before glancing over at Dream Residence.<\/p>\n
She stared at the sign of Dream Residence above the door with serious expression, and then stepped onto the stairs.<\/p>\n
Without knocking, she just stood at the entrance.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Morris and Cherise were already halfway down the road, walking hand in hand, their fingers tightly interlocked, saying almost nothing along the way.<\/p>\n
After a moment, they both looked ahead and said at the same time, \u201cRita\u2019s been hiding her skills.<\/p>\n
They exchanged a look and smiled faintly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way she stopped you just now\u2013someone without regular training couldn\u2019t have done that,\u201d Morris said seriously to<\/p>\n
Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, \u201cYeah, I felt it. She\u2019s hiding more than we expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris looked at her and added, \u201cNow it\u2019s up to your grandfather. He\u2019s the one who\u2019ll decide how to handle this<\/p>\n
Cherise looked into the distance, her expression a bit serious, and softly said, \u201cHmm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outside Dream Residence, Rita still stood there without knocking, looking slightly hesitant. Ten minutes later, her expression eased as if she\u2019d made up her mind, and she finally knocked. It was late, and Azure Peak was completely quiet.<\/p>\n
The sound of her heavy knocking echoed through Dream Residence.<\/p>\n
\u201cKnock, knock, knock\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Inside, a servant heading to the door muttered, \u201cWho is that? Mr. Muller\u2019s already asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he opened the door and saw who it was, he looked shocked \u201cMrs. Muller! It\u2019s you?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not resting yet?<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Muller should be asleep by now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita ignored him and stepped up the stairs, saying, \u201cWhich room is he in? Take me to him.<\/p>\n
The servant froze, unsure of what to do. In all his years with the Muller family, this was the firsttime he\u2019d seen Rita enter Dream Residence.<\/p>\n
For a moment, he stammered, \u201cUh, um. Mrs. Muller, maybe you could wait downstairs in the living room! I\u2019m not sure if Mr. Muller is awake, Let me check with him first.<\/p>\n
Rita didn\u2019t reply, just stood there, calmly taking in the interior Dream Residence, its design completely different froin the Hawkins residence next door,<\/p>\n
Prople said the decor was designed to match Megan\u2019s tastes de yet luxurious, with every detail radiating elegance and quality<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Hawkins residence was the definition of simplicity, so plain it felt almost bare.<\/p>\n
94%<\/p>\n
She had once thought Rayburn preferred that kind of minimalism, just like the style of the Muller Residence in Harnolica, where everything was kept simple.<\/p>\n
But in the end, it was just her own wishful thinking.<\/p>\n
She had turned what should have been a life of unparalleled dignity into one full of struggles.<\/p>\n
Feeling like she couldn\u2019t push forward anymore, she took a deep breath and said, \u201cTll stand here and wait. Tell him it\u2019s urgent, very urgent. Go quickly!\u201d<\/p>\n
The servant quickly replied, \u201cAlright,\u201d and hurried upstairs.<\/p>\n
Rita stayed where she was, waiting-<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Rayburn was still awake in his study, carefully organizing items related to Cherise\u2019s grandmother.<\/p>\n
The servant knocked softly, not wanting to disturb him in case he had already gone to bed. \u201cMr. Muller, are you still in the study?\u201d he asked quietly.<\/p>\n
Rayburn glanced at the time and frowned slightly before replying, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter at this hour? Come in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing the response, the servant opened the door slightly and poked his head in. \u201cMr. Muller, Mrs. Muller has come into. Dream Residence. She\u2019s downstairs waiting for you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Rayburn paused for a moment and asked, \u201cShe came in?\u201d<\/p>\n
The servant nodded and added, \u201cYes, she looks like she\u2019s in a hurry and said it\u2019s urgent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn thought for a moment, his expression showing a trace of displeasure, and said, \u2018Got it. You can go back downstairs. I\u2019ll be down shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The servant replied, \u201cAlright,\u201d and then left to head back downstairs.<\/p>\n
Rayburn stood up from his seat, walked over to a cabinet, opened it, and pulled out what seemed to be an envelope without<\/p>\n
hesitation.<\/p>\n
Downstairs, Rita remained standing. The servant offered her a seat in the living room to wait, but she refused, standing there tall and straight.<\/p>\n
Looking at her, the servant cautiously said, \u201cMrs. Muller, please at down while you wait, Mr. Muller said he\u2019ll come down, but I\u2019m not sure when.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m worried you might get tired if you keep standing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita, her face expressionless, simply replied, \u201cIt\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The servant had no idea why Rita refused to sit down.<\/p>\n
To her, every brick and tile in Dream Residence felt like a mockery.<\/p>\n
The sound of footsteps echoed on the spiraling staircase\u2013Rayban was coming down.<\/p>\n
Rita looked up at the sound. His hair, as dazzlingly white as it has been at the banquet, made hint seernumuch older, though. his features hadn\u2019t changed a bit since she first met him in his yth<\/p>\n
As he approached, Rita sald, Mr. Muller, could you come with to the Hawkins family?:<\/p>\n

Rayburn said, \u201cIt\u2019s so late. Did you come here for something?\u201d<\/p>\n
They spoke almost at the same time.<\/p>\n
When he heard \u201cHawkins family\u201c, Rayburn frowned in distaste. The unresolved rumors of witchcraft from back then still lingered, and now she wanted him to go there.<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s pause, Rita spoke again, \u201cGarrick is seriously ill Could you please come and take a look at him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn frowned deeper and shook his head firmly. \u201cI\u2019m not going to the Hawkins family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita\u2019s tone grew sharper. \u201cIs this because of that newly acknowledged granddaughter of yours who stirred things up? Can\u2019t you go with me this time? After all, we\u2019ve coexisted peacefully all these years\u201d<\/p>\n
