Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 

Just when everyone thought it was over. Morris looked around the crowd again, asking, “Who was it that wanted to teach my wife a lesson just now? And who dared to say she was uneducated, inconsiderate, and a bully?” 

Even though he spoke calmly, there was a chilling threat in every word. No one dared to speak. 

Mary wanted to defuse the situation, but Lucas stopped her, shaking his head. 

After Morris got a chair for Cherise to sit down, he walked slowly over to Alice, looking straight at her. 

There’s no denying his intimidating presence even made the seasoned Alice shiver a little. “Morris, what is this?” Everyone watched, unsure of what Morris intended to do to Alic. But it probably wouldn’t be anything extreme. Morris just stared at her, rolling his wrist until it cracked ominously. That move was really intimidating. 

Lisa and Yulia exchanged a look, neither of them daring to step forward. Rita felt the same, as did everyone else. It was better to avoid causing trouble. 

A few seconds later, Morris coldly said, “Didn’t think Mrs. Quinton would start using your age as an excuse? If you don’t apologize, it really will be hard to resolve.” 

As soon as Morris said this, many people found it quite scary. 

Alice was the wife of Mary’s eldest brother and the aunt of Arthur, the ruler of Clusia. After all, she was Morris’s relative and elder. 

Now, Morris was even willing to come into conflict with a highly esteemed elder for his wife. 

Hearing Morris’s words, Alice trembled with anger, shouting. “Morris, don’t think that being the wealthiest makes you special. I am your elder, your grandmother’s sister–in–law. 

“You don’t even deserve an apology from me, let alone your wife who is practically from the countryside. 

“Hey, this isn’t right. My sister–in–law is really crossing the line with those words. What are we going to do about it? No, we are the hosts of this party. I must go down and ensure justice is served, Mary said, attempting to meddle in. 

Lucas quickly pulled Mary back, saying, “Jean, watch over your grandma. Don’t let her disturb your cousin Morris and his wife. 

Jean was puzzled, feeling today was surreal, nodded, and said, “Okay.” 

Morris and Alice were still in a standoff. 

Cherise stood up, walked over to Morris, and addressed Alice, “Didn’t you just accuse me of bullying with influence? So now you’re doing the same thing? 

“I really didn’t know being older gave someone the liberty to slander and criticize others as they please. 

“With so many eyes watching, you say whatever you want, but don’t you think your tendency to slander might make others hesitant to get involved with your family in the future? 

“After all, anyone who slightly displeases you is casually slandered by you. Looks like your family is going to have some peace and quiet, just the way you like it.” 

Honestly, these words touched Alice’s heart.

For many years, it was thanks to their relationships with Mary and Arthur that so many people sucked up to the Quinton family 

The Quinton family gained quite a lot from these connections, but if no one came to flatter them anymore, how would they manage? 

Watching her grandmother being lectured by Morris and Cherise. Lisa quickly hurried to Alice’s side. 

Seeming humble, she addressed Morris and Cherise, “Mr. Chivers, Mrs. Chivers, we’re all family here, can’t we both each take a step back? I’ll apologize on behalf of my grandmother, can we just let this go and move on?” 

Everyone thought Morris and Cherise would let it slide after Lisa’s request. 

Cherise gave Lisa a cold look and said, “And who are you? Why should I give you any respect? I haven’t forgotten that when Ms. Huber was smearing me, you were right there supporting her.” 

It was only after Cherise brought it up that everyone recalled the incident where Lisa indeed supported Amy. 

The crowd started whispering among themselves. 

“Now that the truth is out, it’s clearly Amy who’s at fault. Mrs. Quinton was just badmouthing Mrs. Chivers, so an apology is definitely needed.” 

“She definitely needs to apologize, or else no one will be comfortable dealing with the Quinton family in the future. It’s just 

needs to apologize, or the right thing to do.” 

Tm really worried now.” 

Alice and Lisa felt a bit embarrassed after hearing these words. 

She pointed directly at Cherise, saying, “You..you’re just using your position to bully others. Mary, please come help your sister–in–law here”
