Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 

With her back to the source of the voice, Cherise looked slightly displeased and confused. 

Her brows knitted together, as she couldn’t tell who it was just from the voice. 

Besides, it was obvious that the voice had been altered using a voice changer. 

After checking Mary’s condition, she slowly turned around. 

All she saw was a man dressed entirely in black standing next to the business vehicle she had seen earlier. 

He was covered head to toe, including his face, neck, and hands, exposing nothing. 

He was also wearing a black mask. 

His entire outfit was so dark that it seemed he could merge with the night. 

This raised a question in Cherise’s mind, leading her to ask, “Who are you? Or should I say, how do you know me?” 

The man in black chuckled, “Your good days are almost over, so there’s no point in asking who I am, right? 

“By the time your name appeared among us, you weren’t even in Betrico yet. 

“Still, I admire your abilities. At such a young age, you’re incredibly skilled and attractive, making many people envious. 

“But unfortunately, beauty comes with a price, and you’ve crossed too many people.” 

Cherise let out a cold laugh after hearing this. She thought, ‘Not in Betrico? Then it must be Yasvissa, and a hitman hired by Shirley.‘ After sorting through her thoughts, she said, “Oh? So shady, huh? 

“So, you are indeed after me, and Mary is merely a lure. 

“Am I really in too many people’s way? Who? 

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re one of Ghost Hand’s men. 

“Or more precisely, you’re the leader of Ghost Hand. 

“Because the leader of Ghost Hand never reveals their true face. 

Saying this, she gave him a playful look, as if her gaze could pierce holes through his black clothes. 

It seemed that the man in black became noticeably uneasy when he heard the words “Ghost Hand.” 

But it was only for a fleeting moment. 

The man who had just spoken began laughing at Cherise and Mary. “Hahaha, interesting, very interesting. 

“I can’t believe someone who knows my identity can stand so calmly in front of me. 

“It’s really a pity; since you know, you can’t stay in this world any longer. 

“Someone, take them away; we can’t stay here for long.” 

Hearing this, Cherise glanced at Mary beside her and gently asked, “Grandma Mary, are you okay?” 

Mary nodded, then shook her head.

Chapter 438 

The effects of the pill weren’t immediate; it might take another fifteen minutes to work. 

They had quite a few people. If Mary wasn’t here and it was just her, taking a risky gamble might not be such a big deal. 

But now she had to take care of Mary, which greatly hindered her movements. 

Leaving Mary aside made it easy for someone to take advantage. Besides, that whiff of knockout gas earlier came from the five people she had pricked with needles. 

At the moment of their death, the gas was released, and she inhaled some of it. 

Waiting fifteen minutes for the pill to take effect seemed unrealistic. 

On top of that, she had no idea how skilled Ghost Hand, their leader, might be, so taking a chance on a fight seemed unlikely. 

Since it was Ghost Hand, she thought she might as well meet them. After thinking for a bit, she said to them, “Alright, I can go with you.” 

Ghost Hand chuckled again, “You’re really straightforward. But before we go, there’s still something I want from you.” 

He moved closer to Cherise as he spoke. 

At that moment, Cherise began to feel the knockout gas and the pill fighting inside her, making her mind go blank for an 

instant 

It was so intense that when Ghost Hand quickly yanked the necklace off her neck, she couldn’t even react. 

“You…” She exclaimed as she finally realized what had happened, talking to Ghost Hand. 

Ghost Hand chuckled from behind his black mask. “This necklace looks pretty exquisite. If I’m not mistaken, Morris gave it, to you, right? 

“That’s truly enviable.” 

Cherise maintained a calm exterior, but inside, she was reassessing the person in front of her. His speed when grabbing the necklace was impressive, maybe on par with the skills she and Morris had. 

Besides, Cherise thought, ‘How did he know this special necklace is a gift from Morris to me?‘ 

Morris mentioned that the necklace was custom–made, and only people from the Dark Web Division knew about it. Cherise thought, ‘Could it be…?‘
