Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

As soon as Cherise walked out of the concert hall, she saw Crow Waiting for her across the street. 

She walked over and slipped into the car. 

Crow looked her over and said, “Boss, you’re really going to dres like this? That might not be the best idea. It shows a lot of 

skin. 

Tve heard that King’s a lecherous, middle–aged creep with a beer belly and a bald head. What if he takes a fancy to you won’t let you leave?” 

and 

Cherise gave him a sideways glance. 

Crow immediately fell silent, thinking. ‘I forgot how good she is at fighting. There’s no way she’d be worried about King taking an interest in her. If he tried anything, she’d have him down in a heartbeat.‘ 

With a press of the gas pedal, the silver–gray sports car zipped off 

In the Dean’s office of the Chivers Group, Morris finished reviewing the last document and stood up. 

Leo already had the car ready and waiting downstairs. 

As Morris approached the office door, Steven entered and handed him a USB drive. “Mr. Chivers, the files are ready.” Morris nodded and said, “Good. Make multiple copies, encrypt them, and send one to Ms. Leach. 

Then deliver the USB directly to the supervisory authority and inform Mr. Weaver that the Dark Web Division will be handling the pre–operation. 

“And you’ll be presiding over the shareholders‘ meeting later. I’m going to Ebb & Flow” 

With that, he headed straight for the elevator. 

When Cherise and Crow arrived at Ebb & Flow, it wasn’t dark yet 

Truman wasn’t there today, but the Ebb & Flow staff all knew Cherise by now. They were aware that both their boss and Morris held her in high regard, so they eagerly came out to greet her. 

They noticed Crow by her side and were confused but didn’t ask questions. Someone said, “Ms. Leach, welcome!” 

Cherise nodded. “Could you get me a private room, a quieter one?” 

“Of course. Right this way. The server led them to a VIP room on the second floor. 

Once inside, Crow took out his phone and texted someone on King’s side: [VVIP room, second floor, Ebb & Flow ] 

The response came almost immediately. [Got it!] 

While stopped at a red light, Leo replied to the text and turned to Morris. “Mr. Chivers, they’ve arrived at Ebb & Flow and are in a VVIP room on the second floor. 

Morris was resting with his eyes closed. He slowly opened them and simply said, “Alright.” 

Leo hesitated. “Do you 

want me to check who’s in the room first?” 

“No need. Let’s just go in,” Morris replied coolly

Half an hour later, the Rolls Royce pulled up to Ebb & Flow 

The server, seeing the license plate, knew exactly who had arrived and ran our for Morris “Mr. Glivers, welcome! 

Morris gave a slight nod and walked in without a word, with Le following behind. 

The server watched as Morris strode away and murmured, “Hul Mr. Chivers and Ms. Leach both seem a bit serious today 

Inside the VVIP room on the second floor, Crow was lounging on the sofa, eating pistachios, while Cherise, sitting next to him, was going through the files on Felix and Mandy that Steve had sent over. 

Her expression was calm, though she occasionally frowned slightly. 

The next moment, there was a knock on the door. Crow dashed to open it while Cherise kept her eyes on her phone. 

As the door opened, Leo stood there and asked, “Why is it you? 

Crow looked confused. “And you are…? You seem familiar?” 

“It’s me, Leona, from Lewis Chemical Plant,” Leo said. 

Hearing the name, Crow awkwardly scratched his head. 

Cherise looked towards the door and was stunned to see Leo standing there. 

After a brief pause, her eyes widened as she thought, ‘Could it be that Morris… is King? 

Just then, Morris stepped into the room and looked directly at Cherise. 

Cherise stared back, standing slowly. Their eyes met 

“You’re King?” she asked. 

Morris nodded. “And you’re Darknight?” 

Cherise nodded as well, recalling her suspicion when she first saw his rapid typing at the Chivers residence. 

In the next moment, she turned and glared at Crow
