Chapter 120

After exchanging WhatsApp contacts, Cherise and Rayburn bid each other farewell.

Rayburn said, "Cherise, see you!" He sounded a bit reluctant.

Cherise smiled and nodded, saying, "See you!"

Just like that, they went their separate ways.

After taking a few steps, Cherise stopped, turned around, and looked at Rayburn, who was still quite spry. She strangely felt that he seemed a bit lonely. She bit her lower lip, turned around, and walked towards the hotel.

Just as Cherise walked away, Rayburn stopped, turning around hoping to catch another glimpse of her.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he looked around, he couldn't spot her silhouette.

After lunch, Cherise and her group drove to a nursing home located on the outskirts of Hamolica.

The car pulled up steadily at the entrance of the nursing home.

In the car, Dora said, "Cherise, I've taken care of everything. Getting through the entrance shouldn't be an issue.

"Roy's room number is 3203.

"Someone working at the nursing home mentioned that there are always two bodyguards outside Roy's room, so we'll need to figure out how to distract them." Cherise nodded in comprehension and instructed, "You three stay in the car; I won't be long."

As soon as Cherise finished speaking, the other three nervously said, "No way!"

Cherise's lips twitched. She wished she'd come here alone.

Hugh quickly said, "Ms. Leach, I definitely have to go with you. I don't know what you're up to, but Ms. Xenakis made it sound dangerous.

"If anything happens to you, Mr. Chivers won't forgive me!"

Jason chimed in, "Yeah, Ms. Leach, I think I should go with you, too. I'm pretty skilled and can help out."

Dora echoed, "Yes, Cherise, you must listen to me this time. Take either Hugh or Jason with you."

Cherise saw how anxious everyone else was and smiled reluctantly, saying, "Alright, Jason, you come with me. Hugh, you and Dora stay here."

Cherise glanced at Hugh. She couldn't let him come along.

Hugh was Morris subordinate, and she didn't want Morris to worry about her.

"Oh, not me?" Hugh complained.

Cherise smiled resignedly and said to Jason, "Let's go!"

Chapter 120

Cherise and Jason donned their masks as they stepped out of the car, casting a glance at the sign above the nursing home's entrance, which read "CareVille Nursing Home." Jason looked at Cherise beside him.

She had been so gentle moments ago, but suddenly she seemed to give off a cold and powerful presence.

The two walked in casually.

Cherise dialed Crow's number as they walked.

As soon as the call connected, she urgently instructed, "Hack into all the surveillance systems at CareVille Nursing Home in Hamolica!"

Then Cherise hung up the phone.

They rounded the long white corridor of the nursing home and saw two men in black standing at the door of a room at the end of the corridor. "Ms. Leach, I'll go distract them," Jason whispered.

"No, don't attract too much attention. I can handle it," Cherise said coldly.

Jason nodded, knowing a bit about the skills of Cherise.

But this was the first time Jason had been alone with Cherise.

He felt a bit secretly happy.

Before they even got close to Room 3203, two men in black started to get suspicious of Cherise and Jason.

One of the men said, "Stop there, you guys can come over here!"

But the next moment, two silver needles plunged into the men's necks.

They froze instantly, yet they looked perfectly normal otherwise.

Jason was astonished, gazing at Cherise next to him; she was demonstrating some sort of remote acupressure technique. He only knew Cherise was capable, but he never thought she could know this long-lost remote acupressure technique. Jason had only read about it in the Muller family library, yet she had mastered it so well.

Jason wondered, 'Who exactly is this woman who looks so much like my grandmother?

"The internationally renowned CEO of GlobalVision Group, a professor of the Traditional Medicine Department at Betrico University, an Honorary Dean of Clusia's National Institute of Traditional Medicine...

'Does she have other unexpected identities? It's simply mind-blowing.'

Cherise turned to Jason and asked, "Jason?"

Jason quickly replied, "Yes!"

She ordered, "Stand guard at the door. If anything happens, let me know right away!"

Jason said earnestly, "Please rest assured, Ms. Leach!"
