Chapter 108
In the Chivers Group office, Morris sat at his desk, attentively listening as Steven and Le
report.
The video from Hugh interrupted the gravity of the moment.
delivered the company’s mid–year
Steven and Leo felt a sense of relief, assuming the video had to be from Hugh, sending one of Cherise’s delightful clips to cheer up Morris.
To their surprise, the next second a man’s voice sounded, “If you agree to let my cousin off, I can call off my engagement with Shirley and be with you instead!
“I knew you still liked me!”
Steven and Leo felt nervous in an instant
As expected. Morris’s already stern face turned even more serious, his faint smile looking a bit creepy.
Morris ordered, “Inform all major hospitals in Betrico not to treat Jeffrey–anyone who dares to is against Morris Chivers.”
After saying so, Morris picked up his phone and added, “That’s all for today.” Then he walked out.
Cherise returned to Glenshire Gardens. As soon as she parked and got out of the car, she saw Jacob coming towards her.
Seeing him, Cherise couldn’t help but frown.
Today, Jacob seemed a bit ingratiating, lacking the usual look of disdain he had every time they met.
“Cherise, you’re back. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Jacob said as he walked towards Cherise.
Cherise spoke in a calm and indifferent manner, “You don’t come here for no reason, do you? Tell me, Mr. Leach, what’s the matter today? Did the Chambers family send you?”
Jacob froze for a moment. Then he chuckled and said, “Oh, that unfair. I’m your father, and I just missed you.
“Why don’t you invite me over to your place for a visit? I’m curious to see which floor you live on and what your home is like.”
Cherise snorted and said, “Save the trouble, Mr. Leach. My place is too small for you. Go ahead. What do you want?”
Jacob reluctantly nodded and said, “Alright
“Well, Cherise, I’m sorry for the past decade. I didn’t realize how amazing you were. I thought…
Cherise interrupted him, “If you’re just here for a chat, then save it. My time is precious, so I won’t stick around. Then she was about to go upstairs.
Jacob came over and grabbed Cherise’s arm, saying, “Well, Cherise, fine! I will get straight to the point. I’m hoping you’ll let Anna off the hook this time.
After all, Shirley is going to marry Jeffrey, and we’re all going to be family, so it would be nice to be generous.
If you forgive Anna, Shirley will gain a good reputation.”
Cherise gave Jacob a mocking smile and said, “So it’s really the Chambers family who sent you.
“So, for you, Shirley’s reputation is more important than mine, isn’t it?”

Jacob said, “How could you say that? You and Shirley are sisters Moreover, you lead a very amoro life and are acquainted
glamorous with many influential scholars.
“You’re bound to find a suitable partner in the future. But Marle situation is different. She’s still young and needs to marry Jeffrey to secure her social standing
“Besides, Anna knows she was wrong, so consider this a lesson for her. After all, you’ve punished her and vented your anger. Let’s just leave it at that. Neither the Chambers family nor the Sanders family are people you want to offend” Jacob’s sounded reasonable.
Cherise stood there quietly, listening to him finish. After that, she immediately raised her hands and clapped loudly.
She commented, “Mr. Leach truly lives up to being a great philambropist.
“Anyone would have thought Shirley was your real daughter!”
Jacob was clearly taken aback for a moment and didn’t respond
Cherise asked, “What’s wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head?
“What are you talking about? Cherise, don’t talk nonsense, Jacob retorted, trying to sound serious
Cherise asked, “So you’re saying that 1, Cherise, your biological daughter, am not more important than Shirley, the adopted
“What if Shirley was the one who got into trouble this time? Would you also forgive the person who harmed her?” Cherise’s lone was sharp.
Jacob was caught off guard by Cherise’s sudden question, and he didn’t know how to answer her.
Cherise gave a seemingly indifferent smile and continued, “I’ll be honest with you, Anna won’t be released. Please leave.”
Seeing that his gentle persuasion was useless on Cherise, Jacob instantly lost his temper.
He shouted, “Cherise, be sensible. I’m your father, and you have to obey my orders.
“Whether you agree or not, today you must have Anna released
At this moment, Cherise’s eyes showed a hint of cruelty.
She sneered, “My father? Do you even deserve to be called that?
“During the 15 years I spent in Yasvissa, you never existed in my world. In the future, please continue to stay out of it!
“You simply don’t deserve to be related to me!”
Jacob yelled, “You! How dare you speak to your father like that?”
Jacob’s face turned red with anger. He reached out his hand and shouted at Cherise, “You must come with me!”
