Chapter 165
sining in the corner. Melissa appeared calm and collected, bort le she was just as uneasy as Shirley
The relatively dark atmosphere of the concert hall concealed the blazing anger in her eyes as she stared intently at the face on the big screen–a face that sparked envy
She thought. Is it always going to be this way, getting beaten by her over and over? No way. Im Melissa, the darling of the heavens, the perfect goddess in the eyes of so many men.
Cherise and I both shine brightly in our own fields, and honestly I believe I’m even more outstanding than Cherise
She felt a surge of resentment pounding against her chest. It waainful, so much so that she didn’t even notice when a tear slipped from her eye
Melissa reached up to wipe the tear from the corner of her eye, got up, and left with a grim determination.
In the room, aside from Shirley and Melissa, Jacobs, Mandy, Jeffrey, Henry, and Jemma sat silently in their row
After a moment of processing it all, everyone except for Mandy, who scowled furiously, deflated like collapsed balloons.
Especially Jacob–his emotions were a tangled mess of disbelief, excitement, and regret.
His daughter who had just arrived from Yasvissa to Betrico continued to astonish him time and again.
A professor at Betrico University, honorary president of Clusia’s Traditional Medicine Association, a piano prodigy and acquainted with numerous influential figures. Even Morris, who controlled the economic heartbeat of Clusia, admired her.
At this moment, Jacob felt an overwhelming sense of having missed out on something incredibly precious.
If he had been kind to her from the start and cared for her as he did for Shirley, perhaps today he could have shared in that same spotlight.
Maybe he could have met so many of those master figures who once seemed unreachable to him, and perhaps he could have developed the Leach Group into something far more substantial than it is now.
The most crucial part is that he could have already been Morris father–in–law. Regret engulfed him like a flood, each wave sharper, like his heart was bleeding.
Henry and his family felt it too–this was all too incredible. Time and again, Cherise shattered their understanding of the world.
Henry thought. If only I had known what I know now… The engagement… He let out a heavy sigh.
Hearing this sigh, Mandy clenched her fists tightly, her freshly manicured nails digging into her palms. Normally any small scratch would have her fussing, but now she seemed oblivious to the pain.
Her mind echoed with a sinister voice, ‘Since you’re so amazing and love stealing the spotlight, then you should disappear from this world just like your short–lived mother,
Outside the concert hall, the audience was buzzing with different thoughts and amazement, while Arlina’s personal photos, posted online,gmpered enormous attention.
This time, however, there was no doubt from netizens. Memories of the recent ‘slap in the face‘ by the appointed guest professor from Betrico University’s Traditional Medicine Department were still fresh in their minds
Especially for those netizens who got permanently banned or even broke the law after joining in the previous questioning spree–they were deeply warned that Cherise was no simple character..
Chapter 16x
A small group of netizens did think all of this seemed too good be true. After all, such perfect people only exist in romance novels or in stories mothers tell aloin other people”
But these thoughts remained stricily Internal. No one dared to post any doubts abour Cherise online anymore, fearing a day. might come when they get a harsh reality check and receive a lawyer’s letter for spreading rumors and causing trouble.
In the chairman’s office of the Chivers Group, Morris hail just fished a phone call from Flugh and was now browsing through photos of Cherise, which had been secretly posted online by netizens.
He wasn’t surprised about Cherise’s piano skills–after all, that night at Elh & Flow, her extraordinary playing ability had instantly revealed her talem to him.
Today, his girlfriend was as dazzlingly beautiful as ever. After saying some photos, Morris swiftly typed on his keyboard, making all the photos of Cherise at the piano competition vanish from the internet.
Seeing the pictures completely disappear from the web, Morris’s previously stern face softened into a smile. “My girlfriend is something only I get to admire.
