Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks
My Billionaire Family 474

Chapter 474

Just then, Cherise came out of the kitchen carrying a birthday cake with candles on it.

She was singing the birthday song while walking towards Morris, Happy birthday to you.

"Happy birthday to you.

"Happy birthday to dear Mr. Morris; happy birthday to you."

As she finished the birthday song, she came right in front of Morris.

Looking up sweetly with a smile, she said, "Happy birthday, Mr. Chivers. I was just in the kitchen.

"I made this little cake myself last night and secretly hid it in the mini-fridge. Make a wish and blow out the candles before we have some cake."

Morris's face broke into a big smile. All the tension he'd been feeling suddenly disappeared, leaving only a deep sense of gratitude.

He didn't usually celebrate his birthday, probably because of his family background. Phoebe suggested buying a small cake to celebrate, but he wasn't interested. He even thought that celebrating birthdays was for childish people.

However, after meeting Cherise, everything changed. Birthdays now seemed cozy and fun.

He reached out and pinched Cherise's cheek. "I thought you disappeared again. Thank goodness...

"I really like it. This is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

He then made a wish and gently blew out the candles on the cake.

Cherise put down the cake, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a loving kiss.

She teased him slightly, "From now on, I'll celebrate it with you every year.

"There will be no gifts, but the cake and me.

"I'm giving myself to you, Mr. Chivers. I hope you won't mind, OK?"

Morris placed his hands around her slim waist, feeling every cell in his body come alive from Cherise's playful teasing.

Leaning down to her ear, he replied with his deep, magnetic voice, "How could I mind? I'd be delighted.

"There's no gift more precious or practical than you.

"Baby, how about letting Crow cover your class for you again today?

"OK?"

"Sure, Cherise uttered, mesmerized by Morris's voice.

As evening fell, the summer sunset painted the white exterior of the garden with a warm orange-yellow hue.

It was a truly splendid view, breathtakingly beautiful.

Chapter 474

Inside the estate, the warm, intimate atmosphere lingered for a long time.

Clothes scattered all over the floor, everywhere showing the passion from just now.

Leo's call came through, and Morris quietly left the bedroom so is not to disturb the exhausted, sleeping person next to him. He went to the study.

As soon as the call connected, Leo's voice came through, "Mr. Chivers, happy birthday. You're now thirty years old.

"A man in his thirties is in his prime; I believe you'll become even more charming, and Mrs. Chivers will love you more."

Leo's mentioning age was a buzzkill.

This made Morris hold the phone in silence.

"Mr. Chivers, can you hear me? What's going on; is there something wrong with the connection?" Leo said.

After a moment, Morris's cold voice spoke, "If you have something to say, get to the point and stop with the nonsense." Leo then got down to business, saying, "Mr. Chivers, the funding chain of Orlinth Innovations is indeed quite complex. "Its assets are spread across top-tier banks in various countries around the world. If you add up all of its assets, they might be comparable to the fiscal revenue of a small country.

And you're right.

"Even though its information was heavily encrypted, we still managed to uncover it through the Dark Web Division. The real owner behind it is indeed Rita.

"She's really smart. All the shares are held by others on her behalf, so if anything goes wrong, it won't be traced back to her. She just sits back and collects the money."

Morris let out an indifferent response, showing no particular interest in the result.

Leo continued, "Women like her are scary; they are strong and ambitious. Can't they just live their lives with their Why do they go through all the trouble to mess with all sorts of nonsense?"

Morris let out a cold snort. "Human desires are endless.

"The more one can't have something, the more they want it."

"So, Mr. Chivers, can we proceed now? Everything is ready.

"We're just waiting for your instructions," Leo asked from the other end of the line.

Morris thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Go ahead. Try to distract her as much as possible.

"This way, it will be easier for Cherise to make her move. It's about time things started going more smoothly for us."

"Alright." After ending the call, Leo immediately started preparing.

Meanwhile, the ringing of her phone finally woke Cherise up, and she slowly reached for her phone.

The call was from Crow, and she picked up.

"Hello," Cherise mumbled, her voice drowsy.

Crow burst out. "No way, Boss. I took all that trouble to cover your classes, and you just stayed home sleeping all day?"

Cherise let out a soft laugh, a bit embarrassed. No, just half a day, It's Mr. Chivers' birthday today.

Crow cleared his throat twice. "Alright, I get it."

'Our insider said that last night Rita frightened quite a few people in the middle of the night.

"I was told Rita has greatly changed. It was quite exaggerating."
