Chapter 456
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 456<\/p>\n
Chapter 456<\/p>\n
Since Garrick suddenly died, the Hawkins residence had become almost entirely deserted.<\/p>\n
Gina was rarely home these days, always heading back to her parents\u2018 place with money.<\/p>\n
Rita locked herself in the study all day, not setting foot outside.<\/p>\n
As for Hannia, she seemed to have long dissociated herself from this family.<\/p>\n
Rita\u2019s servants were still the same ones from the Hawkins residence at the foot of Azure Peak, the ones who had come with her when she married Rayburn.<\/p>\n
After Rita got divorced and moved back to the Hawkins residence, those servants returned with her.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Nellie knocked on the study door with a tray of fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome in,\u201d said Rita from inside.<\/p>\n
Nellie pushed open the door and saw Rita, who was always elegantly dressed even when staying at home. Nellie said, \u201cMs. Hawkins, have some fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good for your health and keeps you looking radiant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita replied, \u201cAlright, just leave it there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nellie<\/p>\n
put the fruit down and carefully asked Rita, \u201cMs. Hawkins, I\u2019ve been with you for decades. Seeing you like this now, I can\u2019t help but feel sorry.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re living alone. Why not move to Fresburg like Ms. Yulia Muller?<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least there, you\u2019ll be closer to your son, daughter\u2013in\u2013law, and granddaughter. They can take better care of you, so you won\u2019t feel so lonely.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all, you need someone to be around you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita laughed at Nellie\u2019s words and chuckled bitterly. She said, \u201cAge is just a number. What\u2019s the big deal?<\/p>\n
\u201cMy roots are right here in Betrico. I\u2019m not going anywhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Nellie. I understand you care about me. Yulia is a caring girl, and she\u2019ll be back soon to stay with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nellie didn\u2019t know what to say. Having been with the Hawkins family since she was a child and knowing Rita\u2019s determined nature, Nellie knew that Rita wouldn\u2019t stop at anything to get what she wanted.<\/p>\n
In the past, Rita found a way to marry Rayburn. It seemed some traits never changed.<\/p>\n
Nellie gently shook her head and said, \u201cAlright then, as long as you\u2019re happy and comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be leaving now. If you want anything to eat, just let me know<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The study\u2019s door closed once more, leaving Rita alone in the room.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t eat the fruit that Nellie had just brought in. Instead, she picked up her glass from the coffee table and took a sip.<\/p>\n
After drinking some water, Rita placed the glass back where it was.<\/p>\n
10:41 Thu, Dec 26 G 1 m.<\/p>\n
Chapter 130<\/p>\n
Next to the glass was a newspaper from yesterday.<\/p>\n
On the front page, a bold red headline caught the eye: [Ghost Hand Completely Wiped Out]<\/p>\n
There were also several equally attention\u2013grabbing subheadings Leader of the Underground Group Ghost Handl. Matthew Quinton, Was Shot Yesterday]<\/p>\n
The content read: [All of the Quinton family\u2019s assets have been frozen and confiscated. Matthew\u2019s wife has been sentenced to the death penalty]<\/p>\n
Rita had already read the newspaper, but she glanced at it again<\/p>\n
At first, she seemed indifferent, but then her eyes seemed to spark with something intense.<\/p>\n
It was as if her gaze was about to kill someone, sending chills down one\u2019s spine.<\/p>\n
At some point, Rita had another photograph in her hand\u2013a picture of Cherise, which captured her alluring and vibrant<\/p>\n
smile.<\/p>\n
But it wasn\u2019t exactly Cherise. The photo had yellowed a bit. Actually, it was a photo of Megan.<\/p>\n
The next moment, Rita clenched her fist, crumpling the photo into a ball as if pouring all her resentment into doing so.<\/p>\n
Rita said with hatred, \u201cWhen I was young, you opposed me. What now? Even in death, you won\u2019t leave me alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you couldn\u2019t beat me then, and now it\u2019s your descendant\u2019s turn. The result will be the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if I can\u2019t win, so what? Worst case scenario, I\u2019ll just destroy her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door repeatedly.<\/p>\n
Rita glanced at the door, the fury in her eyes disappearing instantly as she said, \u201cCome in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing the voice, the person outside pushed open the wooden door.<\/p>\n
With a creak, the wooden door opened, and the person entering called out to Rita, \u201cGrandma!\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita, seeing who it was, didn\u2019t show much surprise but smiled warmly. She exclaimed, \u201cYulia, you\u2019re back!\u201d<\/p>\n
It was indeed Yulia, and her luggage was still outside, showing that she had just rushed back from the airport.<\/p>\n
Yulia nodded and said, \u201cYeah, Grandma. I thought it over and decided to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita smiled contentedly and beckoned Yulia to sit next to her.<\/p>\n
Obediently, Yulia walked over and sat beside Rita.<\/p>\n
With affection, Rita reached out to stroke Yulia\u2019s hair and said, \u201cGood girl, you always keep Grandma in your heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you made up your mind? Have you figured out what you truly want?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita\u2019s voice sounded gentle, like a grandmother deeply concerned for her beloved grandchild.<\/p>\n
Yulia nodded again and replied, \u201cYes, during my days in Fresburg, I thought it through.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s now or never while I\u2019m still young;<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to miss out anything, so I\u2019m giving myself one last chance.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Grandma, can you promise me that if it doesn\u2019t work out this time, you\u2019ll come to Fresburg with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
