Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540

Before Mateo could finish speaking, Hank had already approached the side of their car.

Their car’s security system was extremely good, comparable to Morris’s car, and perhaps even safer than his. All the windows, including the windshield, were covered with frosted film that completely obscured the view inside.

As a result, when Hank walked up to the car, he couldn’t see who was inside no matter how long he looked.

Just as Hank was about to knock on the door, it made a “click” sound. Hearing the door open, Hank took a couple of steps back.

The next second, Arthur got out of the car.

Seeing who it was, Hank was stunned. His eyes, hidden behind thick glasses, flickered with disbelief and surprise, but these emotions quickly disappeared.

He thought he could hide his reactions from Arthur, but Arthur was a man of power, having seen countless people in all sorts of situations. He wouldn’t miss the subtle movements of a 14–year–old boy.

Arthur smiled at him pleasantly and said, “What’s the matter? Do you recognize me? I saw disbelief and astonishment on your face.”

Hank paused for a moment after hearing this, then spoke, “Ah, you must be Mr. Jarrett, right? What are you doing here? I never dreamed I’d see you at the entrance of our little orphanage. Are you, by any chance, visiting in disguise?”

After saying this, he shook his head. “No way, that can’t be it. Or can it? Are you visiting in disguise?”

Arthur chuckled, standing quietly opposite him and listening to his words.

Only after Hank had finished speaking did Arthur reply, “It’s rare. You’re only 14, yet you remain so calm upon seeing me. Most people would have been intimidated and run away. You have a bright future ahead of you.”

“To be honest, I’ve investigated you secretly. You’re a student under Ms. Leach and the champion of the Traditional vs. Modern Medicine Competition hosted by the Global Medical Association just the other day. I wonder who you take after- your mother or your father?” he asked.

Hearing this, Hank hesitated and said, “I’m just myself. After all, I’m just an orphan from the orphanage.”

Hank tried to recall everything that had happened today and yesterday. As his thoughts lingered on the last time he parted ways with Cherise, he realized what happened.

He had calculated everything, but he hadn’t anticipated anything involving Cherise. He thought, “That hand, the one that had patted his shoulder. If it was Ms. Leach, she would have seen through everything. However, there must have been a reason for what Ms. Leach did.‘

After taking a breath, Hank looked at Arthur again. “Do you know something?”

He had never blamed the man in front of him because he was also a victim, completely unaware of the situation. If it weren’t for his appearance in Betrico, in front of Cherise, Arthur might never have known of his existence.

Arthur, who always acted decisively and honestly, did not hide anything from Hank. He nodded. “Yes, I know about the relationship between you and me. You are my son, and I am your father.”

But now, he was different. The boy standing in front of them had rosy lips, white teeth, and sharp, elegant eyebrows. He looked more mature, like a handsome high school student straight out of a comic book. He resembled Arthur, with both elegance and handsomeness.
