Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks
My Billionaire Family 478

Chapter 478

However, Jason was a step too late and inhaled a small amount of the powder.

His legs feh heavy, making it impossible to take even a small step

The same thing was happening to Rayburn.

Rita swinly approached Rayburn, grabbing him by the neck. "What? Weren't you seeking revenge for your beloved woman? You can't stand my deadly powder, can you?

"Doesn't your family take pride in its rich history and claim to be mysterious and knowledgeable?

"Oh, your family is extremely wealthy too. I had someone covertly spread the word about all these..

"You and your ancestors should actually thank me for elevating the Muller family's reputation.

"I was blind back then. I didn't realize you were so uninterested in fame and success, just like Toby.

"That's why I don't like him, but since he's my own son, I couldn't bring myself to harm him, so I let him behind in Fresburg.

"Hahaha, if I had chosen Lucas back then, I might have been the Queen Mother today.

"I've made the wrong move."

Rayburn, Jason, and the other security members were left so dizzy by her deadly powder that they couldn't speak. This was just what Rita wanted. She said, "Great, now we'll go replace your granddaughter whom you recently reunited with. "If I killed you right in front of her, would she pity you more?"

She forcefully pulled the completely exhausted Rayburn to his feet and dragged him out of the Dream Residence.

Jason watched as Rita dragged Rayburn away. His body felt weak, but he managed to inch forward.

With three steps, it required all of his strength to get to the table and drag the phone in his direction.

By now, he looked completely lifeless.

With trembling fingers, he dialed the number he had known by heart for years.

After a few minutes, when the other side picked up the phone, he said, "Hey, Cherise, it's Jason speaking."

"It's me," said Morris, who answered the call. "She's asleep. It's so late. What's up?"

Rita moved quickly and soon had Rayburn at the entrance of the Chivers Residence, halfway up Azure Peak.

Thanks to Jason's call, Cherise and Morris were already sitting at the doorway, waiting.

The two looked quite relaxed. Morris held a cup of coffee, occasionally offering it to Cherise. "Cherise, take a sip. I woke you up so late; you might feel tired later." Cherise obediently took a slow sip.

Rayburn was dragged along by Rita, looking just as slumped as before, limp and weak.

But the moment he saw Cherise, he began to struggle, his eyes full of guilt and concern.

Chapter 478

A frail voice came fromrhis-mouth, "Cherise, I'm sorry to have caused you and your grandma harm. You have to leave; you're no match for her... Ilurry and go..."

At this point, Rita had dragged Rayburn to a spot just under ten feet from Cherise.

Cherise and Rita locked eyes without speaking, but the tension was evident.

After several seconds, Cherise spoke in a cold tone, "Rita is indeed quite ugly due to the backlash, isn't it, honey?"

Morris nodded beside her. "Indeed, it's repulsive."

Rita didn't get angry; instead, she gave Cherise a sly smile and sal, "Humph, I end up like this all because of you. "I've come to settle a score with you.

"Look at who I've brought; it's your Grandpa, the one your grandma once loved passionately.

"Yes, he's related to you by blood.

"Tell me if I were to slowly kill him right before your eyes, how would you feel? You'd be pretty thrilled, wouldn't you?"

With that, Rita slapped Rayburn hard. The already frail man immediately collapsed to the floor.

After delivering the slap, Rita kept her eyes fixed on Cherise, hoping to see a hint of panic on her face.

Unexpectedly, from the moment she arrived to the exact instant her grandfather collapsed, Cherise showed no sign of wavering.

"Hahaha, Rayburn, look at the granddaughter of your beloved woman, the one who looks just like Megan. She doesn't seem to care about you.

"Look at her; she's completely unfazed. Do you think she's just using you to get back at her grandma?"

Rayburn didn't say anything. He shook his head frantically, trying to stay clear.

With eyes cold as ice, Cherise glared at Rita. "You don't deserve to mention my grandmother. The backlash you're experiencing is nowhere near one percent of what my grandmother suffered. "You've brought all this upon yourself. You've always been a selfish, self-centered, and arrogant old woman.

"And you didn't just ruin yourself, but your brother and your granddaughter too.

"I was planning to slowly make you suffer, but since you came to me, let's settle all your wrongs here and now."

"Great! You're arrogant enough," Rita sneered, ignoring Rayburn who lay slumped on the floor.

Facing Cherise, Rita said, "Today, Cherise, I'm sending you to hell first."

After saying that, she pointed at Morris. "And you, Morris, had great expectations for you. But you've ruined my granddaughter, so you'll have to die too. You two can company each other in hell." After saying that, she then attacked them immediately.

Her move was incredibly fast, and Morris shouted, "Watch out!"

Cherise had been on high alert. As Rita got close, she swiftly dodged and teleported behind her in an instant. Morris helped out by distracting Rita, kicking her sideways.

Chapter 478

The couple coordinated seamlessly from each side, leaving Ritano chance to pause.

Caught between them, Rita was unable to replace a way to strike back.

Morris and Cherise were both highly skilled and together, they were unbeatable.

Rita's face darkened in rage. She laughed slyly, "Well done. You two make quite the pair."

After saying those two words, she laughed a few more times and removed her black cloak, revealing her body covered with dozens of glass bottles filled with cursed worms. Cherise's eyes widened at the scene, and she quickly turned to Morris, saying, "Get inside."
