Meanwhile, inside the sprawling estate on the outskirts of the city, at the dining table, Rita glanced at Yulia, sitting beside her sipping orange juice, and said, \u201cYulia, I heard Morris yelling at you yesterday. That must\u2019ve been hard on you, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
After taking a sip of her juice, Yulia nodded slightly, her expression showing a trace of discomfort. \u201cYes, it was upsetting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita chuckled softly before saying, \u201cThat\u2019s nothing. Back when I was with the Muller family, your grandfather scolded me far worse than that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut look at me\u2013I\u2019ve held onto my position as the matriarch of the Muller family all these years. If it weren\u2019t for Cherise showing up, I\u2019d still\u2026\u201d She let out a snort.<\/p>\n
The mention of Cherise\u2019s name made Yulia, who had just picked up a piece of bread, grip it tightly. In a split second, the bread was crushed in her hands, crumbs scattering everywhere as jealousy flared in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Rita caught the reaction entirely, but she said nothing. She simply sipped her coffee quietly, observing the scene.<\/p>\n
They were at the long\u2013established Hawkins family property on the outskirts of the city. It was serene and secluded. The villa\u2019s staff were trusted confidants who had been with the family for year<\/p>\n
Apart from this expansive estate and a solitary, quiet road, there wasn\u2019t<\/p>\n
her soul in sight.<\/p>\n
The tranquility was broken by the sudden ring of a phone, which extinguished the fire of jealousy in Yulia\u2019s eyes. The sound came from Rita\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n
Rita glanced in the direction of the phone, which was sitting on a nearby sofa, her gaze calm and steady.<\/p>\n
Seeing that her grandmother didn\u2019t move, Yulia got up, walked over briskly, and grabbed the phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, she hesitated for a moment before saying, \u201cIt\u2019s Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see,\u201d Rita responded, her tone indifferent, showing little surprise.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould I answer it? What if it\u2019s something urgent?\u201d Yulia asked.<\/p>\n
Rita smiled faintly but didn\u2019t reply. The phone stopped ringing after going unanswered for too long. Yulia felt a slight pang, of regret.<\/p>\n
However, just a few seconds later, the phone started ringing again. This time, Yulia couldn\u2019t wait. \u201cGrandma, should I answer it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnswer it. Bring it to me,\u201d Rita instructed.<\/p>\n
The call connected, and Rayburn instantly said, \u201cRita, let\u2019s meet<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, Rita replied, \u201cAlright.\u201d Watching her grandmother agree so quickly, Yulia couldn\u2019t help but think it must be because her grandfather still held a significant place in her heart.<\/p>\n
After wiping her mouth with a napkin, Rita called someone and gave a simple command when the call connected. \u201cRelease the information I told you about yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cherise was still focused on breaking the curse, having worked tirelessly for eleven hours since Morris\u2019s sudden disappearance.<\/p>\n
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as the serum coalesced under the influence of the insect.<\/p>\n

She couldn\u2019t deny the anxiety gnawing at her. Only she knew that her calm exterior was just a cover for the slight vulnerability inside her.<\/p>\n

She thought about what would happen if it failed but immediately dismissed the idea, telling herself that failure had no place in her life.<\/p>\n

An hour and a half later, outside a caf\u00e9 in the heart of the city, Rita stepped out of a sleek black luxury car.<\/p>\n
Gone was the simple attire she usually wore at the Muller residence. Instead, she was wearing a dress crafted from shimmering silk satin, embellished with intricate gold thread embroidery, exuding an air of opulence.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t look like an older person; her skin was smooth and radiant, making it evident how enchanting and elegant she must have been in her youth.<\/p>\n
With a composed grace, she entered the caf\u00e9, ascended to the second Rayburn had specified. Knocking lightly, she pushed the door open a<\/p>\n
and stopped in front of the private room<\/p>\n
ed in.<\/p>\n
Rayburn was already seated, waiting. When he saw her, a flicker of disdain crossed his face.<\/p>\n
Rita noticed and chuckled as she took a seat. \u201cIf you dislike me so much, why did you ask me to meet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn exhaled heavily and replied, \u201cI won\u2019t beat around the bush. You know where Morris is.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care how you\u2019ve managed to trap him or what your intentions are, but you need to release him right away. You know full well who he is. What you\u2019re doing is a direct challenge to authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita chuckled lightly and sneered, \u201cI knew that was why you wanted to meet me. But tell me, who are you to demand anything of me? On what grounds do you come to me with this?<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, Morris\u2019s disappearance\u2013what does that have to do with me? Do you have any evidence?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn slammed the table as he stood. Then he snapped, \u201cI knew this conversation wouldn\u2019t end well. Fine, I\u2019ll beg you if that\u2019s what it takes. I\u2019ve wronged Megan too much already.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t bear to see our granddaughter suffer. I know this is all because of me. Whatever your grievance is, take it out on me! Leave Cherise and Morris out of this!\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita glanced at her nails with a cold smile. \u201cMorris is the grandson\u2013in\u2013law I\u2019ve chosen. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m leaving him out of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2013I knew it was you! You\u2019re impossible!\u201d Rayburn pointed at her shaking with rage. \u201cHe\u2019s already Cherise\u2019s legal husband!\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita stood as well, her face radiating defiant pride. She declared, I\u2019ve been living like a widow for decades. Death doesn\u2019t scare me anymore. You\u2019re right\u2013this is all because of you.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I can\u2019t live in peace, why should anyone around you? Dont worry. Next will be Jason, followed by Toby and Seraphina. And finally, it\u2019ll be your turn.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without waiting for Rayburn\u2019s response, she turned and walked out of the private room, leaving Rayburn seething in silence.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
As Rita left the suburban villa, Yulia carried a tray of breakfast into the room where Morris was \u201cconfined.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris was already awake, hoping that after a night\u2019s rest, he might have regained some strength in his legs. But nothing had changed. No matter how hard he tried to move, he remained immobile, as if paralyzed by a stroke.<\/p>\n

When Yulia entered, his stomach churned with revulsion. He felt so uncomfortable that he thought he might vomit at any<\/p>\n
moment.<\/p>\n
Unfazed, Yulia smiled sweetly and said, \u201cMorris, you\u2019re awake. Let me help you sit up so I can feed you breakfast, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Without waiting for Morris\u2019s reply, she adjusted the bed\u2019s mechanism, raising the headrest to make him appear seated.<\/p>\n
Picking up a bowl of oatmeal, she scooped a spoonful and brought it close to his lips. \u201cCome on. Open up. I\u2019ll feed you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris remained motionless, his cold, sharp gaze fixed on her as he turned his head away. \u201cGet away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia, undeterred, patiently brought the spoon closer. \u201cJust eat a little. It pains me to see you like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
This time, as the spoon nearly touched his lips, Morris\u2019s large hand swung out, knocking the spoon and bowl to the floor. The oatmeal splattered everywhere, shards of the shattered bowl litterin the ground.<\/p>\n
a resist me forever.\u201d She slipped off her jacket, Yulia bit her lip, as though making a grave decision. \u201cFine. Let\u2019s see if y leaving only a thin camisole that exposed her slender shoulders and elegant neckline. Slowly, she approached Morris.<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s eyes widened with fury, and he roared, \u201cGet the hell away from me, you shameless wench! Like grandmother, like granddaughter\u2013you\u2019re both vile!\u201d<\/p>\n
Even as he yelled, he struggled to move his legs, veins bulging in defiance. Yulia ignored his insults and continued inching closer, step by step.<\/p>\n
When her hand was about to touch his legs, Morris let out a primal roar, summoning all his strength. His legs kicked out violently, sending Yulia flying backward.<\/p>\n
She crashed heavily against the wall with a thunderous impact, coughing up a mouthful of blood as the force of the collision left her internal organs damaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-489","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/489","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=489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
