Chapter 398

Hearing what Cherise said, Carson laughed out loud.

He then looked at her, asking, "This party Rayburn is organizing is about you, isn't it?"

You always know everything. Master," Cherise nodded.

"You, my dear, are indeed half like your grandmother in personality, Carson said as he looked at her

affectionately, taking an invitation out of the desk drawer. Cherise noticed the invitation and looked up at him.

"Master, did the Muller family send you an invitation too? Are you and the Mullers she asked hesitantly, Carson

shook his head, replying, "No, nothing like that. | doubt anyone in Betrico even remembers my name. Still,

getting an invitation like this is easy for me. "Rayburn's party is sure to attract all kinds, a real mix of interesting

and risky people. Master will support our Cherise at the party."

Hearing this, Cherise couldn't help but curl her fingers slightly. Looking at the elderly man in front of her, with his

white hair and immobile legs, Cherise's heart was filled with a sad yet grateful feeling

In less than two days, almost every renowned family, celebrity, and top-tier journalists in Clusia received an

invitation from the Muller family. With only three days left until the weekend, alot of people were eagerly looking

forward to the event.

The Muller family perfectly kept it a secret. Even Rita, Yulia, and everyone from the Hawkins family didn't know

the reason for this gathering. Many people trying to dig up sgossips were turned away by Rita.

Although she seemed unbothered apparently, she was really quite worried inside. After all, she was the

matriarch of the Muller family. Rayburn's actions clearly indicated that he didn't consider her as part of the

family. Since Garrick's foot finally healed, she moved back to the foot of Azure Peak.

She was standing at the entrance of the Hawkins residence right now. Yulia walked out of the house. Upon seeing

Rita's silhouette, she knew what Rita intended to do.

With a light sigh, she stepped forward, saying "Grandma, I'm heading to school. It's still chilly out, so why don't

you go inside for waiting? Just let the servant let you know when Grandpa comes back, okay?"

Hearing this, Rita waved her hand, looking a bit tired, probably because she hadn't rested well in the past few

days. "You don't need to worry about me. Just hurry up or you'll be late. I'll take care of my own stuff," she

replied. Since Yulia knew Rita's temper, she decided not to say more, just replying, "Okay, I'm off then."

With that, she waved at Rita and drove away from the foot of Azure Peak.

Rita stayed standing at the doorway. Half an hour later, Rayburn finally appeared.

When she saw him, she hurried over and said, "Dear, you're back

Rayburn glanced at her when he heard her voice and nodded indifferently. "Is there something you need? Just

say it," he asked without emotion.

Rita was caught off guard by his directness. "I heard you're planning a party at the banquet hall in Betrico in a

couple of days, and the invitations have already been sent to my family.

"So, | wanted to ask what kind of party it is so | can get ready or maybe help organize it for you?" she offered.

Hearing this, Rayburn seemed to give a cold chuckle. "Oh, | thought you wouldn't be interested in those kinds of

events, so | didn't bother to inform you. It seemed like you also heard about it from the Hawkins family. "Since

you already know, just cand you'll find out. It's just a gathering of old friends. You don't need to prepare

anything. Since Jason is there, and he's young, he's much more capable than you." Rayburn replied. With that,

Rayburn directly ignored Rita and walked straight into the house. Rita stood still, watching his back as he walked

away, and her hands tightly clasped together.

She thought, 'Even after all these years, he still treatslike a stranger

At Betrico University, when the class bell rang, Cherise told Jean she had something to do today and let Jean go

back to Chivers Residence with Hugh first, and then she drove off.

In a private room at the Mondial Regalia Hotel, Xenia was nervously pacing back and forth.

"Do | look ladylike in this dress today? Cherise made it for me, the asked Jason, who was sitting on a stool, every

once in a while.

"It's nice, and you look good," Jason nodded.

"Then take a look at my hairstyle. Is it suitable for me, or does it makelook old-fashioned:

"I always told Tony not to cut too much, but he just wouldn't listen and went right ahead with the scissors. It

looks a bit goofy, Xenia complained, checking herself in the small mirror she held. Seeing this, Jason smiled

helplessly. Xenia had asked him the skind of questions at least a hundred times today.

He pulled Xenia down onto the stool "Just relax. You're great as you are. You are cheerful and cute. No need to

worry" he comforted her.

The next moment, there was a knock at the door, and Xenia, who had just sat down, jumped up in fright. "Oh no,

they're here! Quick, check if | look alright," she exclaimed.

However, when she saw Cherise and Morris walk in, Xenia exclaimed helplessly, "Oh my goodness, it's you two!

You nearly scaredto death, I'm so nervous now."
