Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 536

Tristan didn’t know what else to say after hearing Carson’s words but his face took on a strange look.

He thought, ‘I had been in the wrong back then. Given the current situation, trying to win Carson’s favor again is going to be a long and tough road. Carson is wise. Bringing up sensitive topics in front of him is probably a lost cause.’

Tristan thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Cherise. This young lady must be Morris’s wife, right?”

Cherise had a rough idea of the relationship between Carson and Tristan. Recalling her conversation with Lydia a few days ago, she had a general sense of what was going on. Politely, she nodded gently and replied, “Yes.”

Tristan, hearing Cherise’s confirmation, continued, “Then I must extend my congratulations. Mrs. Jarrett has already sent the wedding invitation to the Walton family. A perfect match, indeed.”

“Thank you,” Cherise responded with gratitude to the compliment.

Carson glanced at them and added, “Your main job is to ensure the safety and security of the city. On the day of Cherise’s wedding, we’ll be counting on you. After all, neither Morris nor Cherise is an ordinary person.”

Tristan nodded. “Next Saturday, right? No problem at all. With me on duty, you can rest easy about the security in Betrico.”

Carson’s words seemed to put some pressure on Tristan, but he was preparing for Morris and Cherise’s wedding. It was also a subtle reminder to Tristan not to cause any trouble at their wedding, neither he nor his family, including the security arrangements in Betrico.

Tristan understood Carson’s message clearly. With Cherise still present, there wasn’t much more to say. After some small talk, he left the island.

As soon as he got in the car, he told the driver and assistant in front, “Spread the word about my visit to Mr. Dorian Finch today.”

Then, he looked back at the island in the middle of the lake.

It was clear that even at his age, Carson still held significant influence and status in Betrico.

Arthur had risen to his current position under Carson’s guidance, which was a source of regret for Tristan. He thought, ‘If only I didn’t make the wrong choice back then, maybe things would be different today!‘

He couldn’t help but feel a mix of regret, frustration, and ambition as he slowly drove away.
