Chapter 433<\/p>\n
Looking at Mary, \u201cGrandma Mary, if you like it, you c<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Ebb & Flow, no one will hold you back. You can<\/p>\n
of course.<\/p>\n
relax however you like,\u201d said Cherise.<\/p>\n
With Cherise\u2019s permission, Mary bravely got on stage and sang a few folk songs from their era.<\/p>\n
By noon, Mary had completely loosened up, and there wasn\u2019t a hint of disapproval on her face.<\/p>\n
After singing, she returned to her seat, smiling at Cherise. \u201cCherise, it is a good place. Wow, I\u2019m tired, let me catch my breath.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean handed Mary a glass of water. \u201cHave a sip to catch your breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are the one who invites Cherise out, but it looks like you end up having the most fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary took a couple of sips and caught her breath. \u201cCherise, you really outshone everyone. I\u2019m quite exhausted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just reminded of my younger days and got a little too excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise shook her head gently and said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it, as long as you\u2019re happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary, probably tired from all the fun, calmed down and took a box out of her bag.<\/p>\n
Looking at Cherise, she said, \u201cLast time when you visited the Jarrett residence, things didn\u2019t go as expected, and it got a bit unpleasant. I didn\u2019t get the chance to give this to you before the party ended.<\/p>\n
\u201cI brought it out today specifically to give it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she handed the box to Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at the red velvet box in Mary\u2019s hands. \u201cThis is for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Things at the Jarrett residence did get a little tense last time, especially with the clash involving Mary\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
It really put Mary in a tough spot.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Cherise didn\u2019t take it, Mary firmly placed the box into her hands. \u201cJust take it. It\u2019s really valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at the box Mary had pressed into her hand and couldn\u2019t help but smile as she gently opened it.<\/p>\n
Inside was a longevity lock made of gold, quite exquisite, with four little bells hanging from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is this?\u201d Cherise asked, picking up the longevity lock.<\/p>\n
Mary seemed to be lost in thought, with a tinge of sadness in her voice. \u201cI had this longevity lock made before Morris was even born.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had planned for him to wear it right after he was born.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnexpectedly, my\u2013daughter, Morris\u2018 mother, died from complications during childbirth when he was born.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I\u2019ve kept this longevity lock until now, and never gave it to anyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, I\u2019m giving it to you. After all, it was meant for Morris, and don\u2019t want to see it and be reminded of my poor daughter who passed away too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 433<\/p>\n
Cherise knew about Morris mother. She didn\u2019t say much, only put the longevity lock back into the box, then carefully placed it in her bag.<\/p>\n
She finally spoke, \u201cAlright, thank you, Grandma Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n
78%<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise tuck away the box, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders, making her feel much more at<\/p>\n
ease.<\/p>\n
Looking at Cherise in front of her, Mary said, \u201cYour grandma Megan and I were best friends when we were young.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of some minor misunderstandings, we gradually went our separate ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cThinking back now, I really miss your grandma. I\u2019ve heard about what she\u2019s been through; it certainly wasn\u2019t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she continued, her emotions got a bit out of hand. She sighed and waved her hand dismissively. \u201cAh, let\u2019s not talk about it anymore. It\u2019s getting late, and it must be dark outside by now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI should head home, or else Lucas will start worrying about me<\/p>\n
\u201cJean, could you please pack a glass of the cocktail I just had and that little cake for your grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
About ten minutes later, a group of people were leaving the entrance of Ebb & Flow with shopping bags in hand.<\/p>\n
By now, night had completely fallen. The breeze blowing through the entrance carried a slight chill, typical of late spring transitioning to early summer.<\/p>\n
Compared to the afternoon, the crowd had grown even larger.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, I\u2019m heading back with Grandma Mary.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s make an appointment again next time,\u201d Jean said, waving at Cherise as she moved to guide Mary to the car.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled and waved back at them.<\/p>\n
Four men in black surrounded Jean and Mary.<\/p>\n
Watching them leave, Cherise mentioned something to Hugh, then got ready to head back to the Chivers Residence. Just as she took a step, a dense crowd surged forward, making Cherise frown slightly at their overwhelming numbers.<\/p>\n
Ebb & Flow was usually somewhat busy at night, but not this crowded.<\/p>\n
In the next moment, Cherise quickly looked up, gazing towards Mary.<\/p>\n
The crowded mass seemed uncontrollable as they rushed towards Jean and Mary, as if trying to forcibly separate them. Cherise became very alert. She handed her purse to Hugh, saying, \u201cWatch this,\u201d before quickly running towards Mary. The crowd was aggressive and seemed skilled, scattering Mary\u2019s security team before they could even reach for their guns. Soon after, not only the crowd but also a large number of motorcycles arrived, dozens of them with engines roaring loudly.<\/p>\n
All the riders wore black masks.<\/p>\n
They were heading straight for them, causing chaos to erupt instantly.<\/p>\n
The sound of motorcycles mixed with shouts\u2026 it was complete chaos.<\/p>\n

\u201cJean, Jean,\u201d shouted Mary,<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, Grandma, Grandma, where are you?\u201d shouted Jean.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my, why are there suddenly so many people?\u201d said Mary.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s grabbing my arm? Stop pulling, my arm\u2019s about to break<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you? Who are all of you? Why are you dragging my\u2026 boo hoo hoo\u2026\u201d said Mary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-456","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
