Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

A smug sinile played on Shirley’s lips as she read her mother’s message. 

She reminded the makeup artist to give her a flawless look and then sat up straight, clearly in a good mood. 

As soon as the clock struck 5 p.m., guests started arriving in droves. 

The major media outlets had their cameras aimed at the center of the red carpet, capturing every prominent guest. 

At Glenshire Gardens, Morris wore a royal blue suit with polished black leather shoes, his hair styled in a trendy, slightly tousled way that added a touch of youthful charm. 

He looked absolutely charming and incredibly attractive. 

Standing at a distance, Steven and Leo watched him. 

Steven whispered to Leo, “Honestly, anyone who didn’t know better might think Mr. Chivers is the one getting engaged.” Leo replied in a low voice, “You don’t get it. The one getting engaged today is Jeffrey, Ms. Leach’s ex–fiance. As her current boyfriend, Mr. Chivers naturally has to look good to make an impression and assert his place.” 

Steven nodded, finding the logic sound. “Truly, when it comes to playing mind games, Mr. Chivers is unbeatable” 

“No Kidding. Leo said. 

After one last adjustment in front of the full–length mirror, Morris checked the time, headed out to room 2001, and knocked on the door. 

A few minutes later, Cherise slowly opened the door. 

Standing at the door, Morris couldn’t help but widen his eyes and raise his eyebrows when he saw her. 

Cherise looked so stunning that he couldn’t take his eyes off her, 

She wore a black, long–sleeved, ankle–length gown that hugged her figure, with sheer fabric dusted in a subtle silver shimmer. 

The sleeves were crafted from slightly sheer lace panels, offering delicate glimpse of her slender arms. 

Her stunning figure was fully accentuated 

She wore black, single–strap heels with slender 3–inch stilettos. 

Her long hair, curled by a stylist Morris had hired, cascaded over her shoulders. 

Her rounded earlobes were decorated with luxurious diamond tassel carrings that caught the light beautifully 

Cherise had done her makeup herself, and her skill was undeniable, surpassing that of some renowned makeup artists. Her makeup today was refined yet alluring, striking just the right balance 

Her skin was naturally smooth, her lashes softly curled, her lips a vibrant red, and a hint of blush gave her a healthy, radiant clou 

She looked radiant and mesmerizing, exuding an impressive, noble presence–like an enchanting beauty. 

Standing together in the doorway, the two looked like a perfect match both exuding the same powerful presence and grace.

Morris looked at Cherise and chuckled. “With a girlfriend this beautiful, I almost want to keep you all to myself. How can I possibly let you out there?” 

Cherise’s red lips curved in a knowing smile as she gazed back him without a word. 

Steven and Leo behind them, as if by habit, took out their phones and snapped a picture of the two They easily opened Morris’s chat on WhatsApp, selected the photo, and hit send. 

Leo sighed after sending it. “I swear, the couple looks like they’re going to cause trouble there” 

At the Chambers International Hotel, the guests were gathering 

Many of the high–profile figures who were usually only seen on TV, in financial newspapers, or during economic talks began to appear one by one.
