Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks
My Billionaire Family 452

Chapter 452

Hearing Morris' words, Cherise smiled at him.

She felt great to meet Morris again.

She took his hand and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I have to ask him something. Then we'll go home."

Morris nodded, showing a tender and loving gaze that he hadn't shown in days. He said, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Inside the iron cage, Ghost Hand was sweating all over because the bullet in his knee hadn't been removed in time, causing him great pain.

However, after so many years of hard work and planning, he could handle the pain.

Seeing Cherise approaching, Ghost Hand looked at her with a scornful look.

He scoffed, "Are you here to confront me?

"I lost today because you two were too despicable.

"Morris was able to replace this place because you messed with something at my base, right?"

Cherise didn't deny it. She said, "Yes, but I didn't do much. I just sprinkled a little powder that attract Kitten to your

base

She glanced at Kitten that had gone back to the corner for a nap a fond smile playing

her

lips.

Ghost Hand followed Cherise's gaze and thought to himself, 'No wonder.

I've really underestimated this girl.

With a hint of arrogance, Ghost Hand said, "Do you think that just because Morris caught me, it's over for me?

"I'm connected to lots of important people, and the moment I'm done, all the information I control will automatically be released for everyone to see.

"Tell me, how could those timid guys allow me to die so easily? If I die, they'll suffer, and Clusia will be in chaos."

Cherise tilted her head, looking at Ghost Hand like he just told a joke. She asked, "What's that got to do with me?"

Ghost Hand opened his eyes to look at Cherise when he heard her words.

Cherise continued, "I believe those in power will handle this issue well.

"Moreover, even if no one else punishes you for those atrocious things you've done, I certainly will without hesitation."

The last sentence was spoken in such a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

Ghost Hand glared at Cherise with sharp eyes. Then he mocked Typical of a student of Dorian.

"Way better than your good-for-nothing grandpa."

A hint of menace was in Ghost's eyes when he said those words.

Cherise asked in surprise, "Do you have a grudge against my grandpa? Is it because of Rita?"

Ghost Hand noticeably hesitated upon hearing that and remained silent.

Cherise sneered, "Just as expected.

"The smell of the smoke bomb you threw before attempting to escape is identical to the one I encountered when I first met Rita.

"It appears you've fallen in love with the wrong person. My intuition, as a woman, suggests that she merely sees you as a means to an end." Ghost Hand said, pointing at Cherise, "How dare you!"

Cherise sneered, "I don't care about your relationship, and I'm not going to comment on my grandfather's character or abilities.

"However, I can promise you that you won't be alone on your journey to the afterlife.

"I'll be sending Rita down there soon.

"Think of it as my gift for you. No need to thank me."

After finishing what she said, Cherise ignored Ghost Hand's struggles and returned to Morris.

Like Morris, when they reunited, her expression changed instantly.

Cherise hooked her arm around Morris', speaking in a sweet tone, "Let's go. I'm really craving something to eat."

Morris gently touched the hand she had around his arm and asked, "What do

you want to have?"

Cherise seemed to think seriously for a moment before replying, "Meat, lots and lots of meat, and just a bit of everything else that's delicious too.

"No bread and risotto. I've grown tired of them lately."

Morris chuckled, realízing he hadn't felt this way in days. "Alright, just have whatever you want," he said.

Then Morris and Cherise walked out arm in arm, talking and smiling, followed by a leisurely tiger trailing behind.

Morris and Cherise decided to entrust the Ghost Hand issue to the appropriate authorities. After all, it was not only a significant negative event for Clusia, but it also implicated Marys family.

The Betrico Central Mansions remained as majestic and peaceful as ever.

Mateo, Arthur's assistant, entered Arthur's office after getting permission.

Arthur, who had been reading documents, set them aside when Mateo walked in.

Mateo gave him a respectful nod and reported, "Mr. Jarrett, there's news from Mr. Chivers."

"How are things?" Arthur asked.

Mateo replied honestly, "They've caught him. He's currently being held temporarily at the Security Department.

"All other hostages, as well as previously missing politicians, scientists, and entrepreneurs, have been reassured and follow-up work has been arranged.

"Your mother and Mrs. Chivers are also safe and sound,"

Arthur nodded and asked, "Who's the leader of Ghost Hand?"

Mateo answered, "It's Matthew Quinton, the head of the Quinton family."

Arthur simply nodded, maintaining a calm demeanor as if everything was under his control.

Mateo asked, "So, what's the next step? If we don't handle this well, it will be hard to reassure the public.

"Besides, the truth will eventually come out."

Arthur understood the situation. He took a sip of water and said "Back in ancient times, the Quinton family would have been like royalty. "The truth is, they're just a bunch of bastards.

"Unfortunately, we're in a law-abiding society now, so we have to follow the procedures of the Clusia Security Department.

"If they deserve the death penalty, they'll get it, and if their properties need to be confiscated, we'll do that too.

"Regarding those involved, anyone found to be colluding with Matthew should be dismissed, regardless of their previous performance.

"Mr. Finch was right; if we wait until the root is rotten before taking it down, it will be too late to save the plant.

"It's time for Clusia to bring in new talent."
