My Billionaire Family 364

Chapter 364

Cherise lounged comfortably on the stool, leaning back, and despite the surroundings, she still radiated a

dazzling brilliance.

Looking up at the woman in prison clothes before her, she said, Camellia, we meet again. Please, take a seat."

Though she was relaxed, her demeanor gave off the impression of a commanding interrogator.

At this point, Camellia had lost her previous glamour. Now, except for the prison garb, she was bare-faced.

Without her heavy makeup, she seemed less distant than before.

The door was closed by the uniformed staff behind her. Camellia smiled calmly and sat down across from

Cherise. Staring directly into her eyes, she said, "Ms. Leach, you didn't chere to giveNew Year's wishes,

did you?" "Well, it's not impossible, Cherise said, leaning forward and placing her hands on the table.

She had investigated Camellia, who sat across from her, and had to admit that she too was just a pitiful victim of

the feudal mindset of a noble family.

If she had been born into a regular family and not forced to take extractions, perhaps she could have

enjoyed normal family love and relationships like any other woman.

Camellia let out a soft laugh, "Then letwish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

To be honest, this past month here might just be the most relaxing month of her life.

She didn't have to worry about others' moods, didn't have to scheme, didn't need to please anyone, and didn't

need to put on a facade.

Without the constraints of a large family, she could be herself every day and just relax. It was much more

enjoyable than before.

Camellia guessed, "We don't have any family ties, so | guess you're here to askabout the Hawkins family. Or

maybe, about the Hawkins family's secret techniques."

Cherise smiled charmingly at her, "Dealing with smart people is always easy.

"So | won't beat around the bush. | won't ask about things from decades ago, as you probably wouldn't know

anyway. "This time, I'm here to ask if witchcraft can change someone's genetic sequence." Camellia sat up

straight and asked, "Is this really important to you?"

Cherise nodded. "You could say that."

Camellia nodded firmly. "Yes, it is possible. Especially during the feudal times in the imperial palace, it was quite

common. High-ranked concubines could easily frthose of lower rank

"As long as they had money and the birth details, using witchcra was effortless. So during that era, it was

common for babies in the palace to pass away from tto time."

Cherise realized and asked, "Using someone's birth details, the witchcraft was almost undetectable in the body,

so is the way to remove it the same?"

Camellia shook her head. "I'm not sure. From what | know, the wkins family only has people who can plant

witchcraft.

They don't seem to have anyone who can remove it

"To be precise, I've never seen someone who can remove it."

Cherise smirked, "Does that include Rita?"

Camellia thought for a moment and nodded. "I think so!"

Cherise gave a cold smile and stood up. "Alright, | got the answer | wanted. Thanks for today!"

With that, she opened the door to the interrogation room and walked out without looking back.

Camellia watched as she walked away smoothly, then left the interrogation room too, following the staff back to

where she belonged

Cherise walked through the large iron door, got into the car, and told Hugh to head to the next destination.

An hour later, at Nolan's apartment, Nolan was thrilled to see Cherise suddenly appear at his doorstep,

He asked, "Little Cherise, how did you find out that | live here? Why didn't you tellin advance? | wasn't ready

at all. Did you cearly to wisha happy New Year?" Hugh, standing behind Cherise, rolled his eyes and

said, "Mr. Graves, no, my lady is here to see Ms. Hawkins."

"Oh! Alright, con in. | should have known," Nolan said with a shrug

As Cherise walked past him, she turned her head and said, "Happy New Year, Nolan!"

That greeting instantly got Nolan excited. "Hannia, cout quickly! Little Cherise is here to see you!"

The shout was quite loud. Hannia ran out of the room with a mop and saw Cherise. "Huh! Ms. Leach, did you

cto see me? | was just cleaning inside and didn't hear anything. "Oh! By the way, | haven't congratulated

you yet. Congratulations on your marriage with Mr. Chivers, may you ever after!"

live happily

Cherise looked over her friend's gear and laughed. "Yeah, I'm here just for you. Let's find a room and | might

need both of your help as well."

Hannia immediately understood what Cherise meant. "Alright, let's go to my room

Even though Nolan didn't know what they were up to, he was excited when Cherise mentioned they needed his

help, so he eagerly followed them.

Only Torin and Hugh were left in the living room.

Torin glanced at Hugh, asking, "How about | treat you to scoffee?"

Hugh looked back seriously. "Sure, | want double milk foam!"

Over an hour later, in Hannia's room, Nolan shivered a little as he looked at two burnt worm-like creatures on the

white

paper.

He'd heard rumors that Hannia's family ancestors practiced witchcraft, but he didn't expect to see it himself.

However, Hannia's family was known for putting witchcraft on their own family members. He asked, "Hey,

Cherise, wasn't this thing originally on her neck How did it cout of her mouth? That's so gross!"

Hannia looked at the two bugs she spat out with sdisgust and nervously asked, "So, am | okay now?"

Cherise picked up tweezers and examined the bugs, feeling relieved that her first attempt was successful as she

calmly said. "You're fine now, but we don't know if the one who set the witchcraft is

At the smoment, in the Hawkins residence, Garrick had just sat down at the dining table and said, "Sister,

sit down and eat first."

Gina chimed in, "Come, have a seat here."

The three of them had just sat down, but hadn't picked up their forks yet.

The next second, Garrick clutched his chest in sharp pain.

Then, a gush of dark blood spurted from his mouth. The sumptuous feast on the table was ruined just like that.
