Chapter 425
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 425<\/p>\n
Chapter 425<\/p>\n
The Muller family scandal, along with Garrick\u2019s crimes against Megan, dominated discussions for days.<\/p>\n
This was definitely something Rita hadn\u2019t expected.<\/p>\n
The divorce of two elderly people in their seventies turned into running joke.<\/p>\n
Garrick\u2019s horrific actions became a hot topic for legal debates<\/p>\n
People\u2019s reactions were a mix of anger, sympathy, criticism, and mockery.<\/p>\n
I saw the legal report, and Garrick\u2019s behavior was so horrifying that it nearly made me cry.<\/p>\n
[How can anyone be that cruel and heartless?<\/p>\n
[The place I grew up in was known for dealing with witchcraft, so I couldn\u2019t help but feel for Megan.<\/p>\n
[No one really understands the hopelessness of being cursed.<\/p>\n
But at the Same time, I was furious at Garrick\u2013using such an ancient and almost impossible\u2013to\u2013break method on a defenseless woman. Nobility? High society? What a joke.<\/p>\n
It was just disgusting!]<\/p>\n
fused to feel bad for Rita, especially since she\u2019s so old and going through a divorce. But after seeing how her brother hurt so many people for her sake, any sympathy I had disappeared.]<\/p>\n
[Exactly. Honestly, I think Mrs. Rita might even be the mastermind behind it all. She benefited the most, didn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n
[And even if she wasn\u2019t the one pulling the strings, there\u2019s no way she stayed completely out of iL]<\/p>\n
Rita never imagined that her family, the Hawkins, would fall so low, becoming as despised as rats on the street. They barely left the house, and she completely lost interest in arguing over divorce settlements with Rayburn.<\/p>\n
She spent her days locked in her room, practicing calligraphy, reading books, sipping coffee, and glancing at the newspapers. She didn\u2019t go anywhere or even bother fixing herself up.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until a few days later, when she got the news that Garrick had died a gruesome death in prison, that she finally came out of her room, her face filled with sorrow, and headed straight to the prison.<\/p>\n
People said his death was horrific\u2013he suffered for two full days as his entire body rotted away.<\/p>\n
It was so disgusting that when the guards found him, none of them dared to go near the body, let alone clean up or examine<\/p>\n
Word spread quickly, and most people weren\u2019t shocked by the news. Considering the outrage over Carrick\u2019s actions, the general reaction was relief and satisfaction rather than pity.<\/p>\n
It felt like the Hawkins family had hit rock bottom overnight.<\/p>\n
Hannia heard the news after moving back to her dorm at Betrico University, having left Nolan\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t deny that it affected her\u2013he was still a relative, and her emotions were understandably complicated.<\/p>\n
Camellia, sitting in the women\u2019s prison, heard about her grandfather\u2019s gruesome death on the news. At first, she laughed out.<\/p>\n

loud, but soon after, she couldn\u2019t shake an odd and inexplicable reling deep inside.<\/p>\n

Ax February came, time slipped away quietly with the grass growing and orioles chirping<\/p>\n
Cherise was sitting on the couch at the maternity center, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket with case<\/p>\n
Crow sat next to her and said. \u201cBoss, this baby is so cute! Look at those eyes, nose, and mouth, she\u2019s adorable!\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other side, Xenia rolled her eyes and said, \u201cCome on, Crow, if you can\u2019t give a good compliment, just don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that right, Cherise! Look at this little baby, look at her skin, so soft and smooth. I just want to kiss her!<\/p>\n
Like a little princess, absolutely gorgeous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled down at the baby in her arms and softly said, \u201cYes, she\u2019s beautiful, just like a little princess, just like Dora\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Boss, look! The baby smiled at you. She didn\u2019t smile at me when I held her!\u201d said Crow.<\/p>\n
Cherise gently touched the baby\u2019s soft hair and whispered, \u201cLittle princess, may your life be full of love and peace. I\u2019m your Aunt Cherise, nice to meet you!\u201d<\/p>\n
When Morris walked in, he saw Cherise smiling and playing with the baby in her arms, full of warmth and affection, and his heart melted.<\/p>\n
Crow and Xenia, noticing Morris, quickly stood up to make space<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Crow, let\u2019s go. I\u2019ll take you to see Dora and check how she\u2019s recovering after giving birth,\u201d Xenia said, pulling Crow along and heading out.<\/p>\n
Crow nodded and followed her.<\/p>\n
The small living room at the maternity center was now left with only Morris, Cherise, and the baby in her arms.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Cherise was still holding the baby, Morris leaned in, sat next to her, and softly asked, \u201cCherise, you really seem to like her, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, \u201cYeah, I really like her. Life is just so amazing, isn\u2019t it? She\u2019s this tiny little thing, so full of life, soft, and cuddly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she even smiled at me, look!<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you washed your hands? You can\u2019t touch her without sanitizing first if you haven\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled, a little helpless, and leaned in to whisper in her car, \u201cI like her too. But hey, what about having our own baby?<\/p>\n
\u201cWouldn\u2019t it feel even more special if it was ours\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise laughed and looked at him, \u201cAren\u2019t you worried that when we have our baby, she\u2019ll take up most of my time and love?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris raised an eyebrow and laughed softly, \u201cI didn\u2019t think about it that way, but now that you mention it, yeah, I guess I\u2019m<\/p>\n
little worried too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, \u201cSo, let\u2019s enjoy more of our time together as a couple before we have a baby. We can wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris gently touched her head, \u201cAlright, we\u2019ll do it your way.\u201d<\/p>\n
