Chapter 277
Hannia had a night of sweet dreams.
Some people were happy, others were worried.
As the sun began to rise, it wasn’t fully light yet. Near Agrieviel, liere was a grand villa. The servants were already bustling around, working with cautious diligence. It resembled an ancien court, solemn and mysterious.
Many noble traditions and customs from ancient times still persted. Yesterday, the glamorous woman named Camellia hurriedly came in through the main gate, looking both tired and stern.
Every servant passing by bowed their heads and greeted, “Good day, Miss. Welcome back, Miss”
Camellia ignored everyone, as if no one else existed, and walked towards the backyard
The backyard was decorated with festive lights, creating a great atmosphere. Inside the house, the luxurious and ostentatious design and furnishings highlighted the status and prestige of the mansion and its owner.
In front of the dressing table, a few professional makeup artists were busy enhancing the beauty of a noblewoman. This noblewoman was the birthday star. Gina Hawkins, head of the esteemed and ancient Hawkins family from Betrico.
She was graceful, elegant, and exuded nobility.
After finishing the final touches, one makeup artist respectfully asked, “Gina, all done. Do you like today’s makeup?”
Gina stood up, checked herself in the mirror, and spun around twice. She nodded with satisfaction. “Very good. Go to Conon for your reward!”
The makeup artists breathed a sigh of relief as if acknowledging how rare it was for Gina to be in such a wonderful mood They quickly packed up their makeup kits and quietly left the room.
Indeed, Gina had quite an admirable appearance, with prominent features and skin so smooth it seemed like fine porcelain
It was quite rare to maintain such a condition in middle age.
Once the makeup artists left, only Cina and her personal maid, Jessica, were left in the room. Gina, exuding grace, reclined on a chaise lounge. She took a sip of her coffee and spoke slowly, “Jessica, hasn’t Camellia returned since yesterday?”
Jessica replied, “Yes, but I got a call from the front yard saying that Camellia just returned. She should be arriving at our courtyard soon.”
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Camellia hurried in. Upon seeing Gina, she gave a slight smile and said, “Happy birthday, Mother! May you always stay youthful and get everything you wish for!” After she spoke, she handed the gift.
Jessica took Camellia’s gift and handed it to Gina.
Gina opened it and saw a sparkling pearl necklace. She gave a slight smile, “You put a lot of thought into this, After saying this, she closed the box. “Jessica, please put it in my jewelry room. I have something to discuss with Camellia.”
“Yes,” Jessica said, taking the jewelry box and leaving

In a moment, only Gina and Camellia were left in the room.
Gina looked at Camellia. “Where’s Hannia? Did you bring her back?”
Camellia shook her head. “No, she’s quite resistant.”

Gina raised her eyes at this “Oh Is it because your skills aren’t a good as hers, or you didn’t bring anyone with you?”
“I did bring people, but they’re not as skilled as Hannia You know I’m better at martial arts than Hanania, and bringing her back should have been easy. But then a young woman claiming he Hannia’s teacher stepped in and stopped us,
Plus, I couldn’t quite understand the moves and techniques that women used. We waited all night at Hannia’s apartment and dorm entrance but never saw her. Even our informants couldn’t track down where she was”
Camellia lifted her head to look at Gina, seemingly trying to defend herself
Gina’s eyes were as calm as the sea before a storm.
She let out a cold laugh. “Huh, my own daughter won’t even come home to see me. It’s been a whole year. Why is she still acting like a kid who doesn’t listen to her mom?
“When the Graves family comes, how do you expect me to explain things to them? What a little rascal
When Camellia heard the Graves family mentioned, her hands clenched at her sides. “Mom, I’m also a daughter of the Graves family. Why can’t I take Hammia’s place? You know, I—”
“Camellia, it’s fine to say that here, but if your grandpa hears it, you’re doomed, Gina interrupted Camellia halfway
Camellia quickly closed her lips, but her heart was still restless. She was not willing to give up. She liked the Graves family, so much that she had turned down countless wealthy suitors over the years.
She wanted to run to him one day. But she couldn’t, because that man had a marriage contract with Hannia, arranged by both their grandfathers. Even before Hannia was born, the engagement was set. She felt so unwilling and resentful.
Moreover, in her memory, Hannia received much more love in this family than she did, whether it was from her grandpa or
mom.

Gina saw through Camellia’s thoughts. “Camellia, I understand you. Your dad passed away early, and life hasn’t been easy me either. I may be the person in charge of the Hawkins family, but everyone knows the real power lies with your grandpa
“Don’t worry, when Mom really has a say, I won’t let you suffer
Camellia didn’t know what to say, so she just nodded slightly.
Outside the door, Jessica came in again. “Madam, Yulia is here representing her grandmother to wish you a happy birthday!” “Oh, please invite her in!” Gina said eagerly upon hearing this.
