Chapter 356
Half an hour later. Morris successfully boarded his private jet, heading toward Yasvissa.
“Mr. Chivers, what did Ms. Muller want with you just now? Was he really sent by your professor to find you? Why was she with Harold? I’ve got a bold idea, and let me tell you. My intuition is usually right.
“I have a feeling that Ms. Muller is into you. The way she looks at you is odd like she’s got some possessive vibe,” Leo commented beside Morris with a look of disdain.
Morris took a sip of coffee, looking out the window. “Be sure to tell Jason every single detail.”
At this end, after being rejected by Morris, Yulia returned feeling very down to the Hawkins residence at the foot of Azure Peak.
“Yulia, what’s wrong?” Rita asked as she saw Yulia walk in and slumping dejectedly onto the couch.
Yulia let out a mocking laugh, “Grandma, am I that useless? I’ve failed. Morris doesn’t even want to hear what I have to say, and he won’t even give me a chance to get close.
“From the way he stayed distant and the look in his eyes, it’s like fm some kind of plague. He just wants to keep as far away from me as possible.”
Rita’s expression changed slightly. She didn’t expect Morris to be this kind of person. She thought, “Yulia is not only exceptionally beautiful but also talented. Morris is being rather ungentlemanly.
Feeling a bit uneasy inside, she still reassured Yulia, saying, “There’s no need to rush, take your time!
“Morris isn’t like most guys. He’s capable and skilled. Otherwise, how could he be the best? You have to remember how special he is, and that’s when you realize that lowering yourself is worth it.”
Yulia looked a bit hesitant again. She thought, “Yeah, Morris deserves to have that pride. It is this very pride that has made me fall for him ever since I first laid eyes on him at sixteen.
She stood up, walked to Rita, crouched down, and took out a small bottle from her jacket pocket.
Placing it in her palm, she asked, “Grandma, what about this little boule?”
Rita gently patted Yulia’s head, saying, “Good girl, keep it. Be brave and go after what your heart desires.”
Yulia gave a gentle nod, though she felt very uncertain inside. After all, Cherise was just too outstanding. Whenever Cherise was in the same place, it always felt like all the attention was on her.
Rita looked down at her, reflecting on everything lately. Somehow, it just didn’t go as smoothly as it used to be
“Mrs. Muller, Mrs. Muller…” a voice shouted from outside the door. Rita looked outside with some dissatisfaction. She never liked surprises.
In a cool voice, she said, “Oh, it’s you, Nellie. What’s happening? Come in, why does your voice sound so rushed?”
Nellie opened the door and came in. “Oh, Yulia is here too.”
Yulia heard the voice, stood up, and warmly said, “Nellie.”
‘Mrs. Muller, Jason has also come to Betrico!” Nellie told Yulia a Rita.

Rita looked up at these words. “Oh? Jason is here too? When did that happen?”

Nellie pointed to the neighboring house. “He’s already next door at the Dream Residence. I heard he suddenly decided to come last night, but not sure why. Rita nodded, her face calm.
Next door, at the Dream Residence, Rayburn had just sat down when Jason
walked in.
Rayburn said. “Jason, I just sat down and you’re already here.
Jason looked serious. Rayburn noticed something was off and glanced at the servants in the room. He said to Jason, “Come
with me.”
In the study, it was just the two of them. The two faced each other in a silent standoff.
Rayburn was the first to speak. There’s no one else here, go on.
With tired eyes behind the gold–rimmed glasses, Jason spoke coldly, “Morris sent someone appeared with Harold at the Chivers Group
“Yulia?” Rayburn exclaimed in disbelief.
with a message. Today, Yulia
Jason nodded. “Yes, if I’m not mistaken, Yulia likes Morris. This isn’t the first time she’s shown her feelings. The last time, the entrance of Dream Residence, when Morris was waiting for you to come back, she had already told Morris what she thought.
“Even though she was drunk then, it’s a sign of her true feelings according to psychology. Confess while intoxicated. However, the most important point is that Harold, who is Morriss father, opposes Morris marrying Cherise.
“People on Morris’s side found out that he’s been frequently contacting the Hawkins family lately. Do you think that’s a coincidence?”
When he heard this, Rayburn’s eyes snapped open, and his hands clenched into fists by his sides.
By now, he understood completely, a hint of anger appearing on his face. “The Hawkins family, Harold”
