It was already past midnight, in that tof year when it got cold at night and it was freezing outside. The

streets were. empty, looking deserted and lonely. Quite a contrast to speople's state of mind.

In a high-end apartment in Betrico, the doorbell rang, waking the owner from a deep sleep. "Who is it? Who's

busting my slumber?" The owner, wearing pajamas and yawning, walked over to the monitor screen by the front

door. Rubbing her eyes, she took a look. Jason? Why is he here so late Could he be here to spend the night?

That's not appropriate, is it? I'm still in my pajamas, and | haven't even washed my hair today. I'm not exactly

presentable." The doorbell rang again. It seemed like something urgent. "Oh well, never mind. | don't know

what's happening, but | might regret it if | let this chance slip away without opening the door. With that, she

opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the person standing outside rushed excitedly to hug her tightly. "Xenia, I've made it.

Cherise is really my cousin. She's my grandma's granddaughter. I'm just so thrilled. | feel | have to cand

share my joy with you" Xenia, in his arms, could hardly breathe. "I'm happy too, but could you loosen your grip a

bit? | can barely breathe. "Jason, let go of me!"

Jason realized he was too excited and immediately let her go, glancing at her as she took deep breaths. "Xenia,

are you okay? Sorry, | got carried away."

Xenia waved it off. "No worries. Con in. What's going on? Why did you say Cherise is your cousin?"

Jason made himself at hat Xenia's place, sitting down comfortably. He explained everything that had

happened in detail to Xenia.

Xenia cried through a pack of tissues after hearing the story. "Poor Cherise, life is tough for her and even tougher

for her grandmother. Your family still makes life difficult for a helpless girl, tearing her away from her loved ones.

It's just too pitiful latus? Your family's old ways are crazy! If Cherise wasn't smart, you'd never have/ "In today's

world, who cares about social found her. If Cherise weren't so clever, you wouldn't have had any luck finding her.

Serves you right for looking so long." She was really angry, as if this whole thing was happening to her

personally.

Jason was pleased inside and just let Xenia keep talking nonstop And even he felt that the Muller family was

completely in

the wrong

about this matter.

Cherise had never divulged much about her biological grandmother's situation, and it was apparent it wasn't

pleasant. He could only hope for the best outcome.

As soon as Cherise and Morris left GlobalVision Group, Morris ook her to a small diner. Concerned she might be

starving, he found a nearby place with good reviews.

They finished eating around 1:30 in the morning before heading back to Chivers Residence. Cherise was already

dozing off, leaning against the passenger seat,

But before they could even step out of the car, Morris noticed the white sedan parked at the gate and the two

people leaning against it. Seeing who it was, Morris frowned, visibly displeased,

Just as the car stopped, Cherise opened her eyes and asked, "Are we there?"

"Yeah, it's cold outside, so bundle up, Morris said gently.

Cherise, now awake, noticed the people waiting outside and looked put in confusion. "Why are they here at this

time?" Cherise murmured, still a bit sleepy.

With that, she opened the door and got out of

the car. Morris followed her out.

The two people waiting outside started heading over as soon as they saw the car return.

When they saw the people get out of the car, they sped up and asked, "Cherise, why are you guys back so late?"

Before Cherise could reply, Morris said, 'Mr. Graves, isn't it a bit inappropriate to be waiting outside someone's

house late at night?"

Nolan felt a bit awkward and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Torin cover and said. "Ms. Leach, it's because Ms. Hawkins is missing, and Mr. Graves thought she might

cto find you, so we cover. Sorry to bother you.

Hearing this, Cherise finally asked, "Oh? Hannia isn't staying at your place?"

"No, after she went to the office for a meeting this morning, she hasn't cback, and we can't contact her by

phone. | thought she might have cto see you. That damned big troublemaker, always causing trouble,"

Nolan said, looking annoyed. Morris spoke up again, clearly displeased, "Mr. Graves, shouldnt you send people to

find your fiancée if she's missing? Or maybe check the roadside surveillance cameras. Why did you chere?"

Nolan was at a loss for words, so Torin stepped in to help. "Mr. Graves thinks that Ms. Leach is the only person

Ms. Hawkins. can turn to in Betrico right now, so we chere first to ask."

Cherise said nothing, but when Nolan spoke earlier, a possibility and a doubt quickly crossed her mind.

She pulled her phone from her pocket and quickly opened a specially designed tracking app. It worked fast, and

soon Cherise gave a slight smile.

"So that's it. No wonder | felt a sharp pain in my head during the experiment today." She then looked up at Nolan

"Nolan, Hannia is at the Hawkins residence right now.

"Even if you don't have feelings for her, she's your fiancée and went missing from your house, so you should

take responsibility. This should be the last t| help you out. After all, we all got our own stuff going on.

Nolan might appear a bit self-absorbed usually, but he understood social interactions enough to know what

Cherise meant. He really shouldn't trouble her with everything-

"Alright, | understand, Cherise. Thanks for your help. Sorry for disturbing you so late." With that, Nolan nodded.

apologetically to Morris and left Chivers Residence quickly with Torin.
