After a brief farewell, the two of them went their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Arthur returned to his car, gazing through the window at the figure on the speedboat slowly drifting away on the lake. His thoughts seemed to wander far off.<\/p>\n
But only he knew what exactly was on his mind.<\/p>\n
Carson, Cherise, and Eugene were gathered around the dining table, finishing their meal.<\/p>\n
After wiping his mouth, Carson asked, \u201cDid you see Arthur by the shore?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and answered honestly, \u201cYes, I did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson gave a brief nod. \u201cFor him to have reached his position, ambition and strategy are essential. But overall, it\u2019s rare to see someone who can balance caring for Clusia and its people, while still showing respect for his elders and caring for others.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded in agreement. \u201cOf course. Mr. Garcia, the leader you personally trained is clearly a chosen one. Just look at how Clusia has developed in recent years. The people are living in peace, and the economy is thriving. Not bad at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d Carson affirmed.<\/p>\n
However, he quickly added, \u201cI\u2019m getting old, and he\u2019s one of my most trusted students. Over the years, there have been many people watching his position, but only a few pose any real threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise was a little confused. \u201cMr. Garcia, why are you mentioning this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson smiled. \u201cWell, you are all my disciples, and now he\u2019s your husband\u2019s uncle. You\u2019re family. When the time comes, I\u2019d like to lend a hand if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t fully understand. Arthur was a man of great power, the kind who needed nothing from her.<\/p>\n
But then again, the more powerful someone was, the more likely they were to face envy or hidden challenges.<\/p>\n
Cherise thought it over and nodded at Carson, signaling her willingness.<\/p>\n
She always felt like Carson knew something, but he hadn\u2019t been explicit about it.<\/p>\n
Another weekend quickly arrived, and today was the day of Stella\u2019s party.<\/p>\n
It was just a simple gathering, and Cherise didn\u2019t go out of her way to dress up.<\/p>\n
She wore a simple pair of skinny flared jeans with a slightly stylish brown T\u2013shirt and a pair of brown strappy heels.<\/p>\n
But the simpler her outfit, the more it accentuated her figure and grace.<\/p>\n
Especially since she and Morris had gotten married and had sex. Cherise\u2019s figure had become even more curvaceous, making her the envy of everyone around her.<\/p>\n
Morris was particularly protective of Cherise, worried that she might be mistreated by others, especially at events like parties, where there was always a lot of gossip and talk.<\/p>\n

And since this party was being held at the Walton residence, Morris had already changed into his clothes and was sitting in the living room, waiting for Cherise to come downstairs so they could leave together.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, their car arrived at the southern part of town at the Walton residence.<\/p>\n
Much like the Jarrett residence, the security and other safety measures here were tight.<\/p>\n
What set it apart, however, was how much grander the Walton residence was compared to Lucas and Mary\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
It had both an air of grandeur and a touch of refined elegance.<\/p>\n
As Cherise and Morris got out of the car, they looked around at the surroundings before exchanging a glance.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, you\u2019re a renowned architect. What do you think of the Walton residence\u2019s interior design?\u201d Morris asked.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled faintly. \u201cIt\u2019s got ideas. They almost wanted to carve the word \u2018ambition\u2018 on the front door.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris, hearing this, raised an eyebrow and chuckled.<\/p>\n
A lot of people had shown up. Besides the few familiar faces Cherise had seen before, there were many strangers as well.<\/p>\n
And the diplomat\u2019s wife Lucia, who had argued with Cherise at Taylor Vogue last time was also there.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Lucia noticed Cherise and Morris standing together, and she slightly shrank her neck, quickly diverting her gaze to someone else.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Cherise, you made it! I wasn\u2019t planning on coming, but Jean said you would be here, so I decided to tag along,\u201d a voice called from a distance. It was Mary, who looked more excited than anyone upon spotting Cherise.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Jarrett, hello,\u201d both Morris and Cherise greeted in unison.<\/p>\n
Mary beamed even brighter at their words. She was accompanied by Jean, but Lucas hadn\u2019t shown up.<\/p>\n
Phoebe wasn\u2019t there either. She had been busy handling wedding details lately, so she had passed on this so\u2013called party.<\/p>\n
Not far away, Truman\u2019s mother, Giselle, walked in with Xenia. Like Mary, they both lit up when they saw Cherise.<\/p>\n
Giselle\u2019s voice arrived before she did. \u201cHey, Ms. Leach! It\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve seen you. You\u2019re looking more beautiful every time I see you. Just look at that figure and that elegance. That\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMorris, I bet you sneak out of bed in the middle of the night just to cheer for your good luck, huh?\u201d As she spoke, she pointed at Morris.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d Morris and Cherise didn\u2019t respond, but Mary, standing nearby, proudly answered for them.<\/p>\n
Giselle then noticed. \u201cHey, Mrs. Jarrett? So this must be Jean beside you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Simpson, hello, I\u2019m Jean,\u201d Jean politely greeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally, you look wonderful.\u201d Giselle seemed just a step away from clapping in approval.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Xenia stepped in, gently pulling her back and calling a few times. \u201cGrandma, calm down.\u201d<\/p>\n
They were familiar with each other and the atmosphere was good. Just as they were chatting more, an elegant, wealthy- looking old lady walked out from inside, accompanied by Stella and Lydia.<\/p>\n

Today, both of them were dressed with grace and sophistication From a distance, it didn\u2019t seem like a niece and aunt, but more like two friends.<\/p>\n
This old lady was Cora.<\/p>\n
As soon as Cora stepped out, many people gathered around her as if she were the key of attention.<\/p>\n
Even though Mary held a higher status here, everyone seemed to overlook her and gathered around Cora instead.<\/p>\n
Maybe it was because Mary was used to being modest and low\u2013key, or perhaps it was due to Cora\u2019s husband, a general in his youth, whose reputation still lingered even after all these years.<\/p>\n
Morris, recognized by some powerful figures in politics, was invited over for drinks and conversation.<\/p>\n
On Mary\u2019s side, only Cherise and Jean remained with her.<\/p>\n
Nearby, Xenia and her grandmother Giselle stood as well.<\/p>\n
Perhaps Stella had noticed them, and after whispering something in Cora\u2019s ear, she finally looked over in their direction.<\/p>\n
Cora walked over. \u201cHey, Mary, you\u2019re here? I\u2019m so sorry. There are so many people I\u2019ve been a little overwhelmed and didn\u2019t notice you all right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
