Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454 

In contrast to the joyful ambiance at the Chivers Residence, the Jarrett residence exuded a somber mood. 

Since she returned yesterday, Mary hadn’t had any appetite. 

She reclined on the chaise lounge, clutching a bottle of essential oil, and periodically applied it to her temples using her fingers. 

Lucas and Jean sat a bit farther away, exchanging glances. 

“Grandpa, why don’t you talk to her,” Jean nudged Lucas with her elbow and softly suggested. 

Lucas looked stubborn and said, “Well, I’m not going. If you want to, you go. 

“This is good news. I’ve always said the Quinton family is a pack of parasites. Alice’s always acting like a proud peacock. Well, now she knows I’m right. 

“Matthew is, in fact, Ghost Hand; it’s no surprise that the Quinton family is so arrogant. The innocent people died in vain. 

“This time, the Quinton family is undoubtedly beyond redemption. They must face the full extent of their punishment, or there will be unrest.” 

“Oh!” Mary sighed and exclaimed occasionally. 

Lucas and Jean looked at her and shook their heads repeatedly. 

At this time, a security guard hurried in from outside and called out, “Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett.” 

Lucas looked over and asked, “What’s going on?” 

The security guard said, “Mrs. Quinton and Ms. Quinton have arrived, requesting to see Mrs. Jarrett.” 

Lucas laughed at this, seemingly raising his volume on purpose, Oh, speak of the devil and the Quinton family appears!” 

Lucas’s volume grew louder as he deliberately shouted at Mary. 

Jean couldn’t help but chuckle. 

Of course, Mary heard it. She stood up, looking quite conflicted as she gazed at Lucas. She asked, “Should I meet them?” 

Lucas snorted and said, “Cherise just called and praised you for being brave these past few days and not holding her back. What has happened to your brain since you returned? 

“Think for yourself!” 

Mary was somewhat conflicted. 

However, after thinking about what she saw and went through at Ghost Hand these past two days, Mary told the security guard firmly, “I don’t want to see them. 

“Tell them that from now on, whether the Quinton family survives or falls has nothing to do with me. 

“They should take the consequences of their own deeds.” 

***** 

The Quinton family lost its last hope.

Arthur secretly visited the Clusia Security Department, where Ghost Hand was detained. 

At the moment, Ghost Hand was sitting on a wooden bed. The bullet had been removed, and his knee was wrapped in thick 

gauze. 

Seeing Arthur, Ghost Hand said, “I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s been ten years since we last met, hasn’t it?” 

Arthur nodded silently. 

Even now, Ghost Hand wasn’t scared at all. He continued, “Let me go. You can do it. After all, we are family.” 

Arthur looked at Ghost Hand with disdain and said, “I came today just to meet you for the last time for the sake of those times when you held me as a child. 

“You’ve hurt so many people and sold off countless secrets. 

“If you don’t get punished, it will be hard to make things right for everyone harmed by the Quinton family.” 

When he heard this, Ghost Hand glared at Arthur and said fiercely, “You knew what I’d done all along, didn’t you? 

“You were just waiting for the right opportunity to take me down all at once. 

“Moreover, you used me to get rid of some corrupt officials.” 

Arthur didn’t say anything, but his silence made his attitude clear. 

Ghost Hand laughed wildly and commented, “Oh, well done. There’s a good reason you’ve made it to where you are. 

“I was really setting myself up here. Mary indeed has a great son 

Ghost Hand kept talking, but Arthur ignored him and turned to leave. 

Once Arthur settled into his car, he turned to Mateo, who had accompanied him, and said, “Do it. Have the media department release the news as a warning to others. 

“Take me to Mr. Finch’s place.” 

Mateo nodded. 

A few minutes later, agonizing screams and the shrill noise of gunfire were heard from outside. 

Once it became quiet again, the vehicle carrying Arthur drove away. 

***** 

Half an hour later, the media in Clusia reported on the Ghost Hand incident. 

The report was concise and to the point, but it caused quite a sensation immediately. 

Because of the sensitive nature of the topic, netizens were prohibited from commenting. However, the news spread rapidly in private circles, becoming a popular topic at social gatherings. 

The exact details of the event were unknown. What was known was that the Quinton family, who had connections to Arthur, had experienced a downfall. 

The government not only confiscated the Quinton family’s assets, but also those associated with the family vanished, including Alice. 

Even collateral relatives of the Quinton family, such as Jean, faced dire consequences and could no longer anticipate wealth
