Chapter 88

As soon as Cherise left, Marlon and Mike followed her to Trent's office.

Truman, who was behind Morris, noticed this and said, "Mr. Chivers, aren't you going to look for Cherise? Actually, she's more like a genius now! She's incredible; I feel like calling her M. Leach' now." Morris gently shook his head and said. "Let her finish her work list

Seeing Morris still there, others wanted to approach and hard him their business cards. But just one look from Morris intimidated them so much that they didn't dare niove.

He stood up, said "goodbye" to Truman, and walked out. Steven and Leo at the door saw him coming out and followed him.

After a few steps. Melissa ran out from behind and called out to him. "Morris, Morris! Wait for me. I'm wearing heels and can't keep up with you."

Morris looked straight ahead, as if he didn't hear anything.

Melissa took a deep breath and ran forward. She rushed in front of Morris and blocked his path.

Morris caught sight of her approaching and was hit by the strong scent of her perfume. He couldn't help but furrow his

brow

Seeing the distinguished man in front of her, Melissa's determination to win him over grew even stronger.

She softly said, "Morris, where are you rushing off to? It's already 8 PM, and you must be hungry too. How about I treat you to dinner?"

Morris gave her a glance and looked towards the Dean's office. He spoke coldly, "We hardly know each other." After saying that he looked at Steven and Leo. Steven and Leo instantly realized what was going on and stopped the person.

Melissa stomped her foot in frustration when she saw him walking away and having them block her.

She thought, The Chambers and Chivers families had always been close, so how could he not know me well?

Seeing no one around, she ignored her image as a big star.

She lashed out at Steven and Leo, "You're just Morris's lackeys. How dare you stop me? Aren't you worried that one day I might become Mrs. Chivers?" After venting, she turned around and left, feeling satisfied.

Once she was gone, Steven and Leo exchanged looks and simultaneously said, "What a nuisance."

Inside the hall, the remaining members of the Leach and Chambers families finally began to catch on.

Henry walked over to Jacob and patted him on the shoulder. "Impressive, Jacob! You've got a wonderful daughter and kept it under wraps!"

Jacob awkwardly chuckled and said. "To be honest, it's news to me too.

Henry didn't even bother to respond after listening. With a cold mort, he prepared to leave with Jemma.

After a few steps, he turned back and shouted, "Jeffrey, hurry up Jeffrey gave Shirley a glance and left with his parents without looking back.

As soon as Shirley saw Jeffrey leave, she started to cry anxiously "Dad, Mom, Jeffrey's parents must regret breaking off the engagement with Cherise a few days ago. It's all her fault. She even kept things from us." Mandy remarked with feigned concern, "That Cherise, with her kind of background, should've said something sooner.

"Not only did she embarrass us, but now Shirley is misunderstood by the Chambers family. How's she supposed to live well there after marriage?"

Right now, Claire was boiling with anger, yet couldn't vent it. In her mind, she cursed, 'Claire, why can't your daughter stop haunting me even after your death?

Jacob listened and felt a fire simmering in his heart. Just then, the CEO of HomeBase Estates walked preventing him from blowing up.

He quickly greeted him politely, "Mr. Moraros, I haven't even greeted you yet, and here you are already."

Chandler wore a fawning expression and said, "No need to be so formal, Mr. Leach. I heard that Ms. Leach is your daughter?"

Jacob nodded. Chandler it up instantly and said, "That's wonderful! Ms. Leach is truly outstanding, and I really admire her.

"Tell me, when your daughter has some free time. How about we arrange to have dinner together?"

Jacob was thrilled to hear this. He had worried that Cherise's lack of refinement might put Chandler off, but now things were looking better.

Excitedly, he said, "Really? Then please, Mr. Moraros, wait while I make arrangements."

Their conversation was overheard by Truman as he walked by. He stopped and said, "Honestly, I'm curious, is Cherise really your biological daughter, Mr. Leach" After saying this, he sneered and left the hall The rest of them were left standing there awkwardly.

As soon as Henry got in the car, he turned to his wife and son. "Find a way to get the engagement back."

Upon hearing this, Jeffrey said, "Dad, isn't that unfair to Shirley? Though he felt a bit uneasy inside.

"Yes, dear, besides, Shirley is really good!" Jemma added in support.

"No matter how excellent, can she truly match up to Cherise? That's short-sighted thinking. Let's not discuss whether she can be a professor, but look at the influential people supporting her. Didn't you notice?" Henry shouted. Jemma was left speechless, and Jeffrey stayed quiet the whole way back, each lost in their own thoughts.

Meanwhile, Cherise completed her paperwork in the Dean's office and enjoyed a cake that Mike had personally brought

over.

She was currently performing acupuncture on Trent's neck. Justen more minutes and it should be done."

"Cherise is the best!" Mike said affectionately.

Marlon also looked on fondly and said, "Of course, Trent, who is hald, and Betrico University are fortunate."

"What are you talking about? Who's bald?" Trent protested during the acupuncture session, Marlon and Mike immediately raised their hands and pointed at him.

Cherise shook her head with a smile. And she thought, Those oll folks.

She glanced up at the time. "It's not gone, and it can be fixed. It's getting late, I'll treat you next time. You three should grab U8:38

some food and rest early. I've got something to do, so I'm heading out."

With that, she grabbed her bag and hurried out. Leaving the three clueless geniuses looking at each other.
