Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448 

Ghost Hand gave everyone ten minutes to finish their breakfast. 

“I bet everyone’s full, so let’s get the main event of today going,” Ghost Hand stood on the stage and said. 

The familiar mechanical voice caused everyone offstage to tremble. 

Cherise finished the last bite of the bread, brushed the crumbs off her hands, and stood up calmly. 

The people who shared the same room as Cherise surrounded her, clearly trying to protect her. 

Mary held Cherise’s arm tightly, worried that she might not come back once she went up. 

Mary’s expression was tense and worried. 

Ghost Hand shifted his gaze to Cherise. 

He looked at Cherise, who stood calmly, and remarked, “Mrs. Chivers, no need for me to send someone to get you, right?” 

Cherise nodded. With indifference, she was about to step forward. 

However, Mary suddenly stood in front of Cherise and shouted, “Take me instead. I’m the most useful one here. 

“I’m Arthur’s mother. Cherise is still young. Can’t you let her go? 

“I’ll trade places with her and everyone else. 

“I’m worth several of Cherise. Don’t be fooled by her looks; she’s just a worthless professor. She’s got a bad temper, eats a lot, and hits people…” 

Mary kept rambling on. 

Cherise didn’t expect Mary to suddenly step in, but she was truly grateful at that moment. 

Ghost Hand laughed heartily and said, “Well, Arthur’s mother, impressive move, protecting your grandson’s wife so bravely 

“She truly possesses the grace of Arthur’s mother. 

“No need to rush, your turn will come next time. 

“Ms. Leach, this way please.” 

“Don’t worry. Wait for me!” Cherise said to Mary. Then she walked past Mary and headed up. 

With just four simple words and a smile, Cherise calmed Mary. 

Others watched Cherise walk up to the stage calmly, unlike those who used to struggle and cry. 

People found it hard to believe since Cherise seemed to be just a delicate woman. 

There were more bodyguards on the stage today than before. Maybe Ghost Hand was preparing for Cherise. When Cherise arrived, Chost Hand looked at her with interest and said, “Looks like you’re ready.” 

Cherise sneered, “Let’s get on with it. Say what you want, and do what you must. Don’t waste everyone’s time” 

Ghost Hand said, “Great. Truly a remarkable woman

“I was going to take your life, but now it seems like it’d be a pity to do so.” 

Cherise stared at his black mask and stated, “Oh? You’re after my life. Now that’s intriguing.

“As far as I know, I haven’t crossed paths with you. We have no interactions, nor have I offended you, yet you want my life. 

“If I’m not mistaken, someone else wants me dead.” 

Ghost Hand stood there with his arms crossed, silently watching, as if waiting for her to continue. 

Seeing him remain silent, Cherise said, “It’s Rita, isn’t it?” 

She observed Ghost Hand’s body language closely. 

“Seems like I’m right,” Cherise said with certainty. 

She continued, “Your body language tells me you’re hesitating. You’re pretty close to Rita. I’m guessing you’re at her age. A I right?” 

Cherise’s words stunned many people, especially those who knew Rita. 

“Rita? It’s always Rita! Was I blind before? I actually thought she was a good friend,” Mary said, stomping her foot. 

Someone else remarked, “Is Ghost Hand an old man? Really? He seems quite energetic.” 

Ghost Hand indeed was surprised by Cherise. Being an experienced leader, he covered his panic with laughter and said, “Well, looks like I’ll have to change the way I do business with you. 

“Bring up the contract.” 

One of Ghost Hand’s men responded with a “Yes,” and came over holding two prepared documents, placing them on a desk Another subordinate of Ghost Hand approached Cherise and gestured for her to come to the desk to sign the contracts. 

Cherise glanced toward the contracts and walked over to the desk, casually picking up the two sheets of paper. 

Ghost Hand said in a stern tone, “Sign these two papers.” 

Cherise ignored him and read it carefully. 

With a sneer, she finally remarked, “How greedy! These contracts stipulate the transfer of GlobalVision Group’s latest chip patent technology. 

“Besides, you’re asking me to unconditionally hand over 80% of my personal assets and commit to working for you in the future.”
