Chapter 402

Compared to Warren and Jason, Seraphina was more measured in her approach.

She said. "How could we make you hold us a welcome party? We all know you prefer to keep a low profile, and we returned to Clusia quietly to avoid disturbing you. I thought you wouldn't come today, so this is a real surprise." Seraphina's words dripped with sarcasm, seemingly flattering Rita while actually mocking her, leaving her no word to respond.

Rita straightened up, smiled faintly at the family in front of her, and replied, "If I remember correctly, I'm still th the family. If I don't attend a banquet hosted by the Muller family, it would be a joke." ress of

After pausing for a moment, she added, "I'm too old to welcome guests. Yulia, let's go in and take a look. Your family has done all this for us."

With that, she walked ahead of Yulia, exuding elegance and confidence.

Seraphina muttered behind her, "Your marriage to Rayburn is already a joke to others, and you're worried about being laughed at. Just because you're older?"

Soon, Cherise and Morris arrived with Jean, followed by Steven Leo, and Hugh

Jean approached Cherise and Morris, asking. "I heard my grandfather mention the Muller family is incredibly wealthy, but I didn't believe it. I thought Morris and Arthur were more capable. "But look at this security and setup. It's just as strict as when I visit Arthur.

"What's going on? I checked with my socialite group in Betrico, and they don't know what's happening today. Morris and Cherise, do you know?"

Cherise smiled and looked at her, "You'll replace out soon enough. More surprises make it more fun, right?"

Jean nodded, still puzzled. "You're right."

Morris and Cherise were always the center of attention, and today was no exception, though some young socialites whispered in jealousy, "Why is she everywhere?"

Jason and his parents spotted their arrival and beamed with joy, specially Warren, who, unlike his usual reserved self. rushed over to greet them.

He said excitedly, "You're here! I've been looking forward to this was so worried you wouldn't come that I woke up from a dream about it last night. Come, let me take you inside." Cherise and Morris nodded and followed Jason and his family inside.

The other guests also began arriving gradually.

Inside the hotel, Rayburn and his family arranged their seating based on familial relationships.

Lucas and Mary sat with Phoebe, Morris, and Cherise, while Marjon and his family were at a table with Trent and his family. Garrick was seated with Samson and Nolan "Garrick, it's been some time since we last saw each other. How your foot end up like this? What happened? Samson asked, sumprised

Garrick waved his hand and changed the subject, "It was just an accident. By the way, where's Hannia? Why isn't she with Nolan?" Gina chimed in. "Yes, Nolan, where's Hannia"

Nolan took a sip of red wine and replied with a smirk. "She's still student with a lot of homework. Don't you know that as parents?" Garrick and Gina were at a loss for words and quickly shifted the conversation.

At another table were the Quinton family and the Wilson family, who were from Agricviel.

Alice was notably absent, having been grounded after the recent incident at the Jarrett residence..

Her presence would have been inappropriate, so today the esteemned Matthew attended with Lisa instead.

He was Mary's brother and Arthur's uncle, who held significant power in Clusia, He exuded an impressive demeanor.

Next to Morris's table was Truman and his family.

Gavino approached with a glass of wine, saying, "Lucas, it's rare to see you, Rayburn must be quite something to invite you and your wife here. And Phoebe, you are fortunate to have such a wonderful girl like Cherise. I'm envious. "Look at my grandson at the next table. He's keeping his distance What's going on? He usually isn't so shy. He's almost thirty and still single. I don't have the good fortune you all have."

Cherise glanced in the direction Gavino pointed and asked Morris, "What's wrong with Truman today? Why does it seem like he's avoiding us?"

Morris patted Cherise's hand, "It's fine. He probably hasn't been put in a while and is just a bit shy."

As old acquaintances gathered, the atmosphere was filled with laughter even before Rayburn came out.
