\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 426<\/p>\n
Chapter 426<\/p>\n
Garrick\u2019s sudden death had a massive impact on the Hawkins family, probably the biggest change they\u2019d seen in hundreds of years<\/p>\n
The once\u2013bustling front door of the Hawkins family now seemed eerily quiet, completely different from its usual lively atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Rita locked herself in her study every day, cutting herself off from the world, while Gina sighed and complained nonstop. After the drama with the Muller and Hawkins families, Yulia seemed unfazed. She kept to her usual routine\u2013going from Regalwood University to her apartinent, never returning to either the Muller family or the Hawkins family.<\/p>\n
She seemed to have a lot on her mind, but no one knew what she was really thinking.<\/p>\n
It felt like everyone had just gone back to their usual lives.<\/p>\n
In the center of Betrico City stood the most imposing and secretive office building, surrounded by high white brick walls that looked hike an unbreachable fortress.<\/p>\n
From a distance, it looked like a giant palace, completely cut off from the outside world.<\/p>\n
The walls were lined with cameras, covering every few steps.<\/p>\n
And along with the cameras, tall, strong men in uniforms stood guard, spaced out every few steps.<\/p>\n
No one dared to come near the building. Passersby just glanced from a distance, as if afraid that if they stared too long. they\u2019d be shot on the spot<\/p>\n
The courtyard was one that most people would recognize, and everyone knew exactly what it stood for, which made everyone act extra carefully around it.<\/p>\n
A huge, heavily customized off\u2013road vehicle sped up and came to a stop right at the gate.<\/p>\n
The guards at the gate all saluted the person in the vehicle, and the gate slowly opened. The off\u2013road vehicle was started again, making a loud noise as it disappeared beyond the gates.<\/p>\n
The gates were closed again.<\/p>\n
This was not a place for ordinary people to enter, and it was obvious that whoever was inside the vehicle held a very high position.<\/p>\n
After going through the gate, the vehicle traveled down a long, paved road.<\/p>\n
At the end of the road was a white building, its clear destination<\/p>\n
Once it stopped, a tall and familiar figure got out of the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n
It was Morris,<\/p>\n
This time, he wasn\u2019taccompanied by Steven or anyone else; he came alone.<\/p>\n
dy on his strong,<\/p>\n
Cone was his usual sharp suit and tie. Instead, he wore a dark green short\u2013sleeved T\u2013shirt that fit snugly athletic frame, paired with matching cargo pants.<\/p>\n
A pair of custom sunglasses sat on his nose, adding to his sharp and charismatic appearance,<\/p>\n

OK 5.92%1<\/p>\n
As he stepped out a tridle aged man with a warm but professional air approached him. \u201cMr. Chivers, long time no see!<\/p>\n
I think the last time we met was two years ago during the Falco Action in Clavoria<\/p>\n
Hard to believe it\u2019s been that long I heard you got married\u2013congratulations!<\/p>\n
When\u2019s the wedding? Don\u2019t forget to invite me; I\u2019ll definitely show up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris smiled and nodded. \u201cThanks, Mateo. Don\u2019t worry; you\u2019ll get an invite when the time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mateo, Arthur\u2019s right\u2013hand man, was known for his efficiency and competence, handling many of the daily responsibilities.<\/p>\n
Smiling back, Mateo said, \u201cAlright, then it\u2019s settled. Go on ahead Mr. Jarrett is waiting for you in the office.\u201d<\/p>\n
He took Morris to an office on the top floor of the building.<\/p>\n
From the first floor to the tenth, they went through ten security checks, showing just how tight the security was<\/p>\n
By the time they reached the top, Morris was starting to look a lile impatient, but they finally made it.<\/p>\n
Mateo told him, \u201cMr. Chivers, you can go right in. Mr. Jarrett said once you\u2019re brought here, you\u2019re good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded.<\/p>\n
Two guards at the office door opened it for him, and he walked in like he owned the place.<\/p>\n
As soon as he stepped in, the guards quickly shut the door behind him.<\/p>\n
Hearing his footsteps, someone inside looked up.<\/p>\n
Well, you finally made it! After all my invitations, it\u2019s been almost a year, hasn\u2019t it?\u201d the man said, getting up and walking over to Morris.<\/p>\n
Morris took off his sunglasses and casually slipped them into the collar of his shirt, looking even more laid\u2013back and handsome.<\/p>\n
He looked at the man approaching and said, \u201cT\u2019ve been pretty busy this past year, but things have slowed down, so I finally<\/p>\n
had the chance to come.<\/p>\n
The man was Morris\u2019s uncle, Arthur.<\/p>\n
Arthur, fifty\u2013six, was the owner of the place.<\/p>\n
He was in great shape for his age, with an elegant and authoritative presence that few men had.<\/p>\n
People often say nephews resemble their maternal uncles, and that was definitely true for Morris and Arthur.<\/p>\n
Morris looked more like Arthur than his own father, Harold.<\/p>\n
They both had that powerful presence and kingly aura.<\/p>\n
Arthur walked over, patted Morris on the shoulder, and said. \u201cI know you. You\u2019ve spent the year chasing a girl, huh? Getting her to join your side?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded seriously, \u201cOf course, that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
