Chapter 91
The Rolls–Royce slowly drove into the parking lot of Betrico University. Once the car caine to a stop. Cherise looked up at Morris. T here, so I’m going to get out now.”
She tried to let go of Morris’s hand, but found his grip only tightened.
In the front seat, Steven and Leo pretended to look casually out the window, quickly pressing the button to raise the backseat divider panel.
Seeing this, Morris curved his lips in an appreciative smile. He spoke indulgently, “Cherise, my dear.”
Cherise looked confused and thought about his calling her “dear Morris saw Cherise’s puzzled expression and chuckled sofily.
“Cherise, can I call you dear?” Morris asked. “Because you’re the only treasure in my heart.”
Cherise felt at a loss. She remembered that Morris was truly indifferent to women before. She felt overwhelmed and wanted to get out of the car. Busthere was a bold little devil inside urging her, and she merely nodded. “Yes.”
Morris beamed and reached out to touch Cherise’s face. “Good girl, my dear. Now, head to class, and I’ll come pick you up tonight.
Cherise hurriedly opened the car door and got out quickly, worried she might succumb to the guy’s charms at any moment. Steven and Leo, sitting in the front, looked absolutely shocked. They found Morris was so new to them because he had the confidence to chase a girl with a face thicker than a city’s wall.
Morris watched Cherise’s figure enter the university building before instructing Steven to drive away from Betrico University.
Before the car even left Betrico University, a voice message from Truman came in. Morris listened to it completely. In the next moment, the temperature inside the car dropped sharply.
Just a second ago, the car was filled with warm, loving bubbles from Cherise. In the blink of an eye, burning anger consumed
his chest.
Especially when he heard Chandler from HomeBase Estates say he liked Cherise and wanted to ask her out for dinner.
His deep, dark eyes flashed with murderous intent. He thought. A divorced, second–hand man like him has the nerve to call
Cherise by a nickname.”

Coldly, he said, “HomeBase Estates can be removed from the list Chandler dared try to make a move on Cherise.
In the passenger seat, Leo received the order and quickly sprang into action.
In the back, Morris’s large hands clenched into fists, veins clearly visible on his forearms.
His eyes were fixed on the phone screen showing the recording sent by Truman, sparks flying from them. Like a fierce lion ready to pounce on its prey.
He thought, Damn you, Jacob. How are you fit to be called Cherise’s father? The treasure I cherished so deeply was treated by you as something to trade.
He said to Leo, “Apply some pressure on the Leach group.”
He thought, ‘Since you don’t know how to value it, so don’t blame me, even if you’re supposedly the biological father.

Here, Cherise had just gotten out of the car and entered the school building.

Shirley came out from the comer with two girls, blocking her way. “Cherise, you’re here, and I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Cherise glanced at them and said calmly. “Don’t the students of Bctrico University know how to respect their teachers? Your should at least greet your teachers.”
Shirley and her friends were clearly surprised. They remember that she was a specially appointed professor at Betrico University. Shirley gritted her teeth in anger upon hearing this.
Soon, she spoke softly again. “Cherise, we’re all from the Leach mily. Calling you Cherise is more affectionate.”
Next to her, Anna and another of Shirley’s followers, Kira, nodded in agreement.
Cherise let out a mocking smile. She said, “Oh This is Betrico University. I’m a professor, and you’re students. In conclusion, you don’t even understand basic manners.
“It seems your Arts Department is lagging behind with its culture courses! Besides, I’m the only child my mom had. No sisters. And you, you’re just a ‘stepdaughter‘ that came along with my dad’s second wife!”
After she said that, she gave a cold smile and walked away confidently before they could react.
As s soon as Cherise left, Shirley’s eyes brimmed with tears, looking utterly pitiful. She cried, “How could Cherise treat me like this? We came over with good intentions to say
hello.
It’s one thing for her to give me the cold shoulder, but to treat you all like that too? I’m really sorry you had to experience this.
“She must still be mad at me for taking Jeffrey from her. What should I do, Anna?”
As soon as Shirley started crying, Anna and Kira became anxious “Shirley, you’re too kind. This is absolutely not your fault! “Saying we’re rude and uneducated–she’s the one with no manners, Who even knows how she became a professor?
“Besides, you and my cousin are perfect for each other. Cherise greed to call off the engagement herself. It’s not your problem.”
Seeing them stand up for her, Shirley’s lips curled in satisfaction.
Then, with a worried face, she said, “Don’t talk like that about her Last time, the same old man driving a Rolls–Royce was picking her up.
“I just wanted to go and say hi, but he knocked me over with his car. See, I still have a scar.
“I really don’t get why he won’t come out to meet me. I know he’s a bit older, but if he genuinely likes her, what’s the big deal in meeting people?
“But anyone who can afford a car like that definitely has a strong background. He probably helped her get into Betrico University.
“Honestly, I’m actually happy for her. Life was really tough for her back in a backwater, town. Oh well…”
Right after Shirley–spoke, Anna glanced at a photo on her phone
Fuming, she said, “I just knew it, it’s a bit off that someone around our age unexpectedly became a professor at Betrico University. Trent didn’t explain Cherise’s qualifications clearly, she has connections. People like that don’t deserve their positions.”

Kira chimed in. “Yeah, absolutely. I heard that last night Cherise was hugging some older guy in the parking lot. Someone tried to take a photo, but the guy’s bodyguards warned them off!
Anna listened with a thoughtful expression. Shirley watched their reactions with a sly smile.
