Meanwhile, inside the sprawling estate on the outskirts of the city, at the dining table, Rita glanced at Yulia, sitting beside her sipping orange juice, and said, "Yulia, I heard Morris yelling at you yesterday. That must've been hard on you, wasn't it?" After taking a sip of her juice, Yulia nodded slightly, her expression showing a trace of discomfort. "Yes, it was upsetting."

Rita chuckled softly before saying, "That's nothing. Back when I was with the Muller family, your grandfather scolded me far worse than that.

"But look at me-I've held onto my position as the matriarch of the Muller family all these years. If it weren't for Cherise showing up, I'd still..." She let out a snort.

The mention of Cherise's name made Yulia, who had just picked up a piece of bread, grip it tightly. In a split second, the bread was crushed in her hands, crumbs scattering everywhere as jealousy flared in her eyes.

"I see," Rita responded, her tone indifferent, showing little surprise.

"Should I answer it? What if it's something urgent?" Yulia asked.

Rita smiled faintly but didn't reply. The phone stopped ringing after going unanswered for too long. Yulia felt a slight pang, of regret.

However, just a few seconds later, the phone started ringing again. This time, Yulia couldn't wait. "Grandma, should I answer it?"
