Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 

At the same time, in the Betrico Central Mansions, Morris was cruising smoothly through the mansion in the same modified off–road vehicle he had last time. 

The mansion was still tightly secured, silent, and solemn as ever 

Arthur’s assistant, Mateo, was waiting for him at the usual spot. “Mr. Chivers, you’re here. Please, this way.” 

Morris nodded in greeting and followed him. 

Before entering Arthur’s office, as per the usual routine, security personnel carefully inspected the items Morris was carrying. 

Morris showed no expression, probably used to this by now. 

After the inspection, Mateo opened the door. 

Arthur was already waiting inside the office. As soon as he saw Morris, he pulled out a box of cigarettes from a drawer, one that ordinary people wouldn’t recognize the brand of. 

Arthur picked one out, pushed the box to the other side of the table, and lit his cigarette with a lighter, casually gesturing toward Morris. 

As Morris sat down, Arthur spoke first. “The wedding’s coming up, right?” 

Hearing the mention of the wedding, Morris’s previously serious expression softened, and his tone became a bit gentler. “Yes, it’s at the end of this month. It’s coming up soon.” 

Arthur chuckled a couple of times. “So you’re finally getting married. Make sure it’s a grand one. Don’t make it a low–key affair.” 

Morris lit his cigarette and took a drag. “It won’t be low–key. That’s for sure.” 

Arthur smiled again. “You’re doing better than I ever did. Me? I’ll probably spend my life treating Clusia like my wife.” 

After saying that, Arthur gave Mateo a look. 

Mateo nodded and left the office, closing the door quietly behind him. 

Arthur took a puff of his cigarette. “Alright, what brings you here today? I don’t usually see you coming to me first.” 

Morris curled a slight smile, pressing out the half–smoked cigarette in the ashtray. He pulled two photos from his pocket and slid them across the table. 

He began. “This is a new student at Betrico University, only 14 years old. His name’s Hank. These photos were secretly taken by an elite operative from the Dark Web Division over the past few days. 

“One shows him without glasses, and the other shows him with them. The one with the glasses doesn’t reveal much. The important one is the one without them.” 

Arthur looked at the photos, somewhat puzzled, and picked up the one without glasses. When he saw it, he froze for a 

moment. 

Given his position, he had seen all kinds of things, and he wasn’t easily shocked. “What’s this?” 

Morris stood up, satisfied that his task was done. “I’ve given you the photos. The kid has some skills. He’s hidden a lot of

things. 

“As for what exactly, I’m sure you’ve already figured it out from the photo. How you go about investigating it, that’s up to 

you 

At Ebb & Flow, the atmosphere was already lively as everyone was letting loose. 

With so many young students from Betrico University around, the place was buzzing with energy. 

Xenia had arrived. Jason had been dealing with business matters of GlobalVision Group recently and wasn’t in Clusia much. 

So, Xenia was back to her independent self, going wherever she pleased without anyone to stop her. 

Right now, Xenia was clinging to Cherise like a koala. “Cherise, you’re the happiest. Mr. Chivers never leaves your side. 

“Unlike Jason and me… He is here now, yet the next he’s gone. Last time he said he wasn’t going anywhere, but before long, he was off again. 

“But you know what? It’s not so bad. With money and time, I can do whatever I want. No one’s telling me what to do.” 

Cherise patted her hand. “You’ve had too much to drink, Xenia. He’s only been gone for two days. What’s this, a day apart feels like a lifetime?” 

Xenia paused for a moment. “Oh, come on. Don’t call me out like that.” 

Cherise smiled and was about to say something else when her phone rang. It was from Crow. She stood up and walked to a quiet corner to take the call. 

As soon as Cherise left, Xenia turned her attention to Jean, who was standing nearby. “Jean, listen to me. Your situation is actually better. 

“You can stay single and avoid the pain and heartache that come with love. Of course, love like Morris and Cherise’s is ‘ beautiful…” 

Over by the bar, Truman and Leo were sitting side by side. Watching the group of young people, they clinked their glasses together. 

Before Truman even had time to swallow the first sip, he immediately spat it out, splashing Leo’s hand. 

“Hey! Watch it. You just ruined my new watch!” Leo shouted, jumping up in panic. 

Truman grabbed Leo’s wrist and pointed toward the corner ahead. “It’s Lydia from the Walton family, the woman who’s been stalking me. 

“She’s here. She’s walking over. Leo, I’m scared. Protect me!” 

Leo glanced in the direction Truman was pointing, and sure enough, a woman was walking toward them. He squinted and said, “She’s quite good–looking.” 

Truman was practically hiding behind Leo now, whispering to him, “You can’t always judge a book by its cover. She’s coming. When she gets here, you’d better tell her to leave.” 

Leo couldn’t hold back any longer. “Why do you look so scared? You weren’t like this before.” 

Before Leo could say more, Lydia had already arrived in front of them. “Mr. Simpson, hello. I’ve come. And this is…”

Leo awkwardly smiled and waved. “Hi, Miss, I’m his good friend
