After the sun had set, Rita arrived at her house at the foot of Azure Peak, with Yulia following closely behind.

The next morning, they left the house arm in arm. One was elegant and dignified, while the other was beautiful and delicate. From a distance, the older and younger women both exuded an air of refinement, creating a picturesque scene. They got into a luxurious black car. An hour later, the car slowly arrived at the Hawkins residence at the foot of Agrieviel.

This was the first time in over 10 or 20 years that Rita had returned to her family. Almost everyone from the Hawkins family came out to greet her-except for Hannia who was still unaware as she stayed in Nolan's apartment. At the gate of the Hawkins residence, Garrick stood with Gina and several extended family members and servants, all waiting to welcome her.

When they saw the black car pull up, many people, especially the extended family members, wore flattering expressions. After all, the Muller family's wealth was enormous-no one knew for sure how vast it was

Rita, over the years, had not only been the hostess of the Muller family but was also rumored to have invested in numerous sectors, her assets even surpassing those of the Hawkins family's main household. The extended family members, all keenly aware of the value of such a connection, were eager to curry favor with Rita while they still had the chance.

Garrick opened the car door, and Yulia stepped out. Rita extended her hand, which was gently taken by Yulia, and stepped out of the car. She looked at everyone with a kind, affectionate expression and offered a graceful smile. Although Garrick had seen Rita in Hamolica a few days ago, he still smiled and stood beside her. He knew well that she was superior to him in every aspect, and he always knew that showing respect was the right thing to do. Gina quickly stepped forward, "It's been so many years since we last saw each other. You've only become more dignified and graceful! And with your current condition, you look far younger and more elegant than us younger generations." Rita didn't respond much but simply smiled.

Seeing this, the extended family members hurried forward, eager to greet her.

"I'm your cousin. Do you remember me?"

"I'm your cousin-in-law, Rita. A few years ago, I came to visit you in Hamolica with my mother-in-law."

"Grandma Rita, I'm..."

The scene became lively, with everyone trying to speak at once, blocking the path into the house.

Rita was truly impressive. Despite being surrounded by so many people, she managed to maintain an elegant, dignified composure without a hint of impatience.

Yulia, watching her grandmother, was surprised to see how highly respected she was in the Hawkins family.

Garrick ordered the servants to disperse the crowd and led Rita and Yulia into the house, leaving Gina to handle the extended family members at the door.

Once inside, Garrick and Rita's expressions remained calm, but Yulia visibly relaxed. The crowd had clearly unsettled her. She glanced around and asked, "Where is Hannia? I didn't see her last time, and she's not home again." Yulia only knew about the financial troubles that had gotten Camellia into some legal trouble but didn't know why Hannia wasn't at the Hawkins residence. 09:00 Tue, Dec 17 GO.

Garrick and Rita exchanged a briel look.

"Hannia is probably at her fiance's place. You two got along well when you were younger, so you can contact her when you have time, Carrick said with a smile.

Yulia nodded, understanding that Hannia had been promised to someone from a young age. "Alright, I'll get in touch with her when I have a chance"

Rita also smiled, patting Yulia on her hand. "Go help Gina. I need to have a little chat with your uncle."

Yulia understood and turned back toward the

e gate.

Once Yulia had left, Rita turned to Garrick. "Has he arrived? Is the operation prepared?"

"Of course. You don't need to worry about it. He came through the secret passage and is already in the study," Garrick said confidently.

Rita's gaze sharpened as she looked toward the study. "Good, let's go."

"What about Yulia?" Garrick asked with concern.

"I won't be fround forever. It's time for her to handle things on her own," Rita replied, heading toward the study.

The study of the Hawkins residence was filled with treasures. There were countless antiques, many of which were rarely seen in the market, and they were all worth a fortune. The atmosphere was thick with the scent of wealth, making it a grand exhibition hall. Harold in the study stared at the scene before him, his eyes wide in shock. Although he had seen a lot in his life, nothing could compare to what he was witnessing now.

He couldn't help but exclaim in awe. The Hawkins family truly knows how to keep a low profile. They really are aristocrats., Even the smallest trinket here could be sold for enough to support a regular family for several generations."

As he spoke, he sat down on a couch, hoping to leave a good impression on the Hawkins family.

The study door was made of fine wood, and when Carrick opened it, there was not a sound.

Harold noticed the sudden bright light streaming in from the doorway and looked up to see who had entered. He quickly stood up. "Glad to see you, Mr. Hawkins. This must be Mrs. Rita Muller, the wife of Mr. Rayburn Muller, right?"

Harold hurried forward, his expression no different from the sycophantic ones of the extended family members outside. After exchanging pleasantries with Harold, Garrick stepped aside, allowing Rita to take the lead.

Rita took a step forward, sizing up the man before her, and politely nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chivers. I apologize for the delay in greeting you."
