Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks
My Billionaire Family 426

Chapter 426

Garrick's sudden death had a massive impact on the Hawkins family, probably the biggest change they'd seen in hundreds of years

The once-bustling front door of the Hawkins family now seemed eerily quiet, completely different from its usual lively atmosphere.

Rita locked herself in her study every day, cutting herself off from the world, while Gina sighed and complained nonstop. After the drama with the Muller and Hawkins families, Yulia seemed unfazed. She kept to her usual routine-going from Regalwood University to her apartinent, never returning to either the Muller family or the Hawkins family.

She seemed to have a lot on her mind, but no one knew what she was really thinking.

It felt like everyone had just gone back to their usual lives.

In the center of Betrico City stood the most imposing and secretive office building, surrounded by high white brick walls that looked hike an unbreachable fortress.

From a distance, it looked like a giant palace, completely cut off from the outside world.

The walls were lined with cameras, covering every few steps.

And along with the cameras, tall, strong men in uniforms stood guard, spaced out every few steps.

No one dared to come near the building. Passersby just glanced from a distance, as if afraid that if they stared too long. they'd be shot on the spot

The courtyard was one that most people would recognize, and everyone knew exactly what it stood for, which made everyone act extra carefully around it.

A huge, heavily customized off-road vehicle sped up and came to a stop right at the gate.

The guards at the gate all saluted the person in the vehicle, and the gate slowly opened. The off-road vehicle was started again, making a loud noise as it disappeared beyond the gates. The gates were closed again.

This was not a place for ordinary people to enter, and it was obvious that whoever was inside the vehicle held a very high position.

After going through the gate, the vehicle traveled down a long, paved road.

At the end of the road was a white building, its clear destination

Once it stopped, a tall and familiar figure got out of the driver's seat.

It was Morris,

This time, he wasn'taccompanied by Steven or anyone else; he came alone.

dy on his strong,

Cone was his usual sharp suit and tie. Instead, he wore a dark green short-sleeved T-shirt that fit snugly athletic frame, paired with matching cargo pants.

A pair of custom sunglasses sat on his nose, adding to his sharp and charismatic appearance,

As he stepped out a tridle aged man with a warm but professional air approached him. "Mr. Chivers, long time no see!

I think the last time we met was two years ago during the Falco Action in Clavoria

Hard to believe it's been that long I heard you got married-congratulations!

When's the wedding? Don't forget to invite me; I'll definitely show up."

Morris smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Mateo. Don't worry; you'll get an invite when the time comes."

Mateo, Arthur's right-hand man, was known for his efficiency and competence, handling many of the daily responsibilities.

Smiling back, Mateo said, "Alright, then it's settled. Go on ahead Mr. Jarrett is waiting for you in the office."

He took Morris to an office on the top floor of the building.

From the first floor to the tenth, they went through ten security checks, showing just how tight the security was

By the time they reached the top, Morris was starting to look a lile impatient, but they finally made it.

Mateo told him, "Mr. Chivers, you can go right in. Mr. Jarrett said once you're brought here, you're good to go." Morris nodded.

Two guards at the office door opened it for him, and he walked in like he owned the place.

As soon as he stepped in, the guards quickly shut the door behind him.

Hearing his footsteps, someone inside looked up.

Well, you finally made it! After all my invitations, it's been almost a year, hasn't it?" the man said, getting up and walking over to Morris. Morris took off his sunglasses and casually slipped them into the collar of his shirt, looking even more laid-back and handsome.

He looked at the man approaching and said, "T've been pretty busy this past year, but things have slowed down, so I finally

had the chance to come.

The man was Morris's uncle, Arthur.

Arthur, fifty-six, was the owner of the place.

He was in great shape for his age, with an elegant and authoritative presence that few men had.

People often say nephews resemble their maternal uncles, and that was definitely true for Morris and Arthur.

Morris looked more like Arthur than his own father, Harold.

They both had that powerful presence and kingly aura.

Arthur walked over, patted Morris on the shoulder, and said. "I know you. You've spent the year chasing a girl, huh? Getting her to join your side?" Morris nodded seriously, "Of course, that's a big deal."
