The news of both of them passing away would definitely cause quite a stir.<\/p>\n<p>The Muller family told outsiders that Rita, the ex\u2013wife, was resciful about the divorce and had come late at night to exact revenge. They both died as a result of their intense emotions during the struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, those familiar with the Muller family\u2019s ups and downs and the upper class of Betrico generally knew what really happened between Rayburn and Rita.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there was a huge uproar across Clusia about the money laundering scandal involving the Hawkins family, led by Rita.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the large amounts of money involved and the many people implicated, along with the leaked photos of Rita\u2019s recent<\/p>\n<p>outraged, condemning Rita and the entire Hawkins family.<\/p>\n<p>meeting with the Ghost, the public across Clusia<\/p>\n<p>The case was quite complicated and was handed over entirely to the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p>On the third day after Rayburn\u2019s death, the Muller family held a memorial service at Dream Residence.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise and Morris both attended, dressed in all black.<\/p>\n<p>They arrived pretty early; apart from Jason and his family of three, it was just the two of them.<\/p>\n<p>After Morris entered, he bowed deeply three times, while Cherise stood still, focusing on the portrait of the late Rayburn hanging on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>To outsiders, she appeared emotionless.<\/p>\n<p>But only she was aware of the complexities and struggles inside.<\/p>\n<p>She walked up to the altar, picked up three candles, lit them, and bowed deeply three times in front of the portrait as Morris did.<\/p>\n<p>After placing the three candles, she went to stand beside Warren and Seraphina, saying, \u201cUncle Warren, Seraphina, let me join you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren and Seraphina appreciated Cherise\u2019s gesture, nodding repeatedly. \u201cGood girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris sat quietly in the corner, waiting for the memorial service to finish so he could take Cherise home.<\/p>\n<p>thei<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later, more guests started arriving to pay respects to Rayburn.<\/p>\n<p>Among them were esteemed people like Phoebe, the Jarrett couple, the Simpson family, Marlon, Trent, and Oliver, as well as other friends and relatives who had interactions with the Muller family.<\/p>\n<p>It was evident that Rayburn used to have a wide range of social connections over the years.<\/p>\n<p>As Rita passed away at the same time as Rayburn, Toby, his wife, and Yulia rushed over after finishing up the matters after Rita\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to before, Yulia had indeed lost quite a bit of weight. Her gaze is somewhat wandering, not daring to look in the direction of Cherise and even less so toward Morris.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 480<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Toby came in, he approached Warren with a heavy heart, saying, \u201cWarren, I\u2019m sorry I\u2019m late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I sincerely apologize for all the ridiculous things my mother has done in the past.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not asking for forgiveness, only hoping that you\u2019ll accept my apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren didn\u2019t say anything; he just nodded slightly.<\/p>\n<p>After paying her respects to Rayburn, Yulia hesitantly approached Cherise, \u201cCherise, could I have a few minutes with you? Cherise looked at her blankly, unsure of what she wanted to say to avoid disturbing others, she gestured toward the outside.<\/p>\n<p>It was the same pavilion outside Dream Residence where she had previously had a conversation with Rita, whom she really despised.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise led the way, with Yulia following behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Go ahead and say it,\u201d Without turning around, Cherise said to Yulia, who was behind her. \u201cIf you\u2019re here to persuade me to forgive, don\u2019t bother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yulia pursed her lips, understanding that Cherise coming out to talk was already the furthest she could push.<\/p>\n<p>Yulia said awkwardly, \u201cI\u2019m not here to ask for forgiveness, but I still need to tell you I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I don\u2019t dare face Morris, so I\u2019m hoping you could help me apologize to him.<\/p>\n<p>I feel incredibly ashamed and sorry for what I did in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I\u2019ve gone through lately is my worst punishment. I guess I won\u2019t get to experience what it\u2019s like to be a mom in this life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI admit I envy you and admire your talent. There was a time when envy turned to jealousy, but that\u2019s all gone now. What\u2019s left is admiration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings here are pretty much wrapped up. I\u2019m going back to Fresburg tomorrow, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever return to Clusia. I hope we meet again in the arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I know I can\u2019t beat you, can I set you as my goal?<\/p>\n<p>Cherise didn\u2019t expect Yulia to bring her out to talk about this. She showed no expression, but she was already feeling a bit impatient.<\/p>\n<p>She was not a saint and wouldn\u2019t easily forgive someone who had crossed her, especially not someone who had shown interest in her man.<\/p>\n<p>Facing away from Yulia\u2019s eyes, she began searching the room for Morris and noticed he was still sitting in the corner, so she turned around and waved at Yulia.<\/p>\n<p>She answered coldly, \u201cWhatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she turned around and returned to Dream Residence without looking back.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she entered, Warren came toward her. \u201cYou arrived just in time. The attorney is here. He needs to say something when everyone is present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise looked to the side and indeed saw a man in a black suit. She gave a slight nod. \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After she spoke, she went over to the small stool beside Morris and sat down next to him.<\/p>\n<p>The attorney cleared his throat as everyone gathered. \u201cHello everyone, I\u2019m attorney Miguel Bradwell from the Betrico Law<\/p>\n<p>1897%<\/p>\n<p>TUKTS Wed, Jan 1<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 480<\/p>\n<p>Firm. I\u2019ve been entrusted by the late Rayburn to read his will to all of you, his descendants present here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-503","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/503","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=503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
