Chapter 424<\/p>\n
Cherise and Morris didn\u2019t wrap up dinner until about ten at nig<\/p>\n
Leo, who hadn\u2019t headed home yet, walked over with a serious look and said, \u201cMr. Chivers, Mrs. Chivers, the Muller family drama is all over the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Garrick just confessed to the witchcraft incident involving Mrs. Chivers\u2019s grandmother, Megan, from years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Morris and Cherise exchanged a glance.<\/p>\n
Morris immediately said, \u201cTurn on the TV\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo nodded and quickly turned it on.<\/p>\n
The screen lit up with bold red letters reading \u2018Muller Family Sendal\u201c, as the anchor began the report.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the instructions of Mr. Rayburn Muller\u2019s attorney, we\u2019re covering the story of Mr. Rayburn Muller\u2019s divorce from Mrs. Rita Muller.<\/p>\n
\u201cReports confirm that Mr. Rayburn, head of the Muller family, officially ended his nearly fifty\u2013five\u2013year marriage with Mrs. Rita today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reasons behind the divorce are complicated and won\u2019t be detailed here.<\/p>\n
Following the divorce, Mrs. Rita\u2019s brother, Garrick, turned himself in.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe admitted to orchestrating the disappearance of Mr. Rayburns first wife, Mrs. Megan Muller, decades ago. Garrick confessed to kidnapping her, using witchcraft, and disposing of her body.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis goal was to eliminate her and secure his sister\u2019s happiness in marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, we\u2019ll play an audio recording of Garrick\u2019s confession.\u201d<\/p>\n
The anchor paused, and the audio began to play.<\/p>\n
It captured the conversation between Rayburn, Warren, and Seraphina during their visit to the Hawkins family, where Garrick admitted to being responsible for Megan\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n
Wrapping up the segment, the anchor added, \u201cGarrick has now surrendered and is under tight security. Authorities have launched investigations into both the Hawkins and Muller families.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay tuned for updates on this developing story.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, Leo paused the broadcast.<\/p>\n
Morris took a sip of his coffee and turned to Cherise. \u201cWhat\u2019s your take?<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t expect Garrick to shoulder all the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, still staring at the frozen TV screen, lightly tapped her fingers on the dining table. \u201cI talked with Liam about this before. Nobles, especially the older generation, are fiercely protective of their family\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n
To save the Hawkins family, they had no choice but to let one person take the fall.<\/p>\n
\u201cGarrick, already suffering from backlash, must have realized he didn\u2019t have much time left. His sacrifice to protect the family wasn\u2019t surprising.<\/p>\n

Chapter 424<\/p>\n
\u201cBut his old\u2013fashioned way of thinking was so ingrained that he didn\u2019t see how much times have changed.<\/p>\n
In this digital age, there\u2019s no way the whole Hawkins family could stay out of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, some people ended up benefiting from this situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext time, I\u2019ll make sure to take them all downt<\/p>\n
Cherise said with determination in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Morris nodded in agreement. \u201cYou\u2019re right.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what about the Muller family? It\u2019s clear Rayburn is trying to make up for something\u201d<\/p>\n
92%<\/p>\n
Cherise paused when she heard Rayburn\u2019s name. \u201cI feel both resentment and pity for him, but honestly, my resentment outweighs the pity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it weren\u2019t for the Muller family, my grandmother wouldn\u2019t have gone through all that,<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing\u2019s for sure\u2013my relationship with him will never be like that of a normal grandfather and granddaughter. I just can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Cherise had predicted, the drama involving the Hawkins and Muller families quickly spread.<\/p>\n
At the Chivers Residence, Mrs. Chivers, watching the news on TV slammed the table in anger. \u201cUnbelievable! How can people like this exist?<\/p>\n
\u201cPoor Cherise\u2019s grandmother! The Hawkins family has always been a bad lot\u2013I could tell even back in my day. This divorce is for the best.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd don\u2019t tell me Rita didn\u2019t know what her brother did, both cut from the same cloth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the Simpson residence, Gavino couldn\u2019t sit still after watching the news and paced around all night<\/p>\n
Truman finally had enough. \u201cGavino, come on! It\u2019s the middle of the night! If you don\u2019t go to bed, I swear I\u2019m calling the<\/p>\n
cops.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay up if you want, but leave me out of it\u2013I\u2019m dead tired!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cavino stopped in his tracks and turned to Truman. \u201cCan you believe it? How can people be so awful? You have no idea how amazing Cherise\u2019s grandmother was when she was young.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to think she was hurt by Rita\u2019s brother\u2013it\u2019s disgusting. How could Rita have a brother like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman let out a snort, gave Gavino a pat on the shoulder, and stood up. \u201cGavino, you\u2019re way too trusting!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really believe your old classmate is innocent? Ever hear the saying, \u2018He that lies down with dogs must rise Rita is probably just as bad as her brother.<\/p>\n
up<\/p>\n
with flea?<\/p>\n
Watch out, or you might end up getting yourself into trouble. And let me tell you, I\u2019m not Cherise who can break witchcraft.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I\u2019m done goodnight\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, don\u2019t just walk off! Stay and talk this over with me a bit more, Gavino called out.<\/p>\n
At the Jarrett residence, Lucas was equally livid, dragging Mary into a late\u2013night discussion.<\/p>\n
10:12 Sat, Dec 21 GU.<\/p>\n
Chapter 424<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom now on, keep your distance front the Hawkins family, Noe of them are decent\u2013remember that he said.<\/p>\n
Mary, sitting on a chair, muttered under her breath, \u201cYou\u2019re just mad about what happened to Megan<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t forget, you liked her back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd besides, it was Garrick who did all that; Rita might not have known.\u201d<\/p>\n
3.92%<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t exactly whispering, and Lucas heard her loud and clear. \u201cMary, are you serious? Don\u2019t be so naive. Don\u2019t let yourself get fooled and end up helping them<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I didn\u2019t like Megan! When did I ever?\u201c)<\/p>\n
Mary stood up, firing back, \u201cYou had me deliver love letters to hert How could you say you didn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas pointed at her head in frustration. \u201cThat was ages ago! I was just a dumb kid\u2013totally immature. And don\u2019t tell me you only ever liked me back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, I realized later that I liked you, and I confessed, didn\u2019t Haven\u2019t I been good to you all these years?<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, you\u2019re something else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary softened a little, conceding. \u201cFine, I\u2019ll admit you\u2019ve been really good to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly. So just stay away from the Hawkins family, alright?\u201d Lucas said.<\/p>\n
