Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544

The Jarrett family was incredibly warm and welcoming, so much so that Hank began to let his guard down and truly enjoy himself in their company.

He agreed with Cherise that being surrounded by family felt really good. Hank had initially thought that the Jarretts would be aloof and boring, but he was pleasantly surprised to find everyone so approachable and fun. Jean, Lucas, Mary, and Arthur were the same.

As the day wore on, Hank remembered that he needed to get back to the orphanage. A couple was coming to adopt one of the younger girls, and he wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. He mentioned that he needed to leave.

Before he could even finish his sentence, Mary’s face fell. “Alas. So you can’t come back and live with us? Do you dislike us? Why are you leaving so soon?”

Hank shook his head vigorously. “No, it’s not that. I just have some things to take care of.”

Lucas stepped in to ease the tension. He had heard about Hank’s situation from Arthur. With a kind smile, he said to Hank, “Good boy, you go ahead and take care of your business. You can always come back.”

Hank nodded, pushed the bicycle he had ridden over, and took the snack box prepared by the elderly couple. With a quick push, he sped out of the gate, leaving a trail of dust behind him.

Just as he exited the gate, a sleek, high–end sedan approached slowly. The license plate clearly indicated it belonged to someone important. Inside the car was Stella, who had come straight from the Translation Bureau to the Jarrett residence. She was about to inform the security guards at the gate when she saw Hank riding a bicycle out of the gate. Compared to the student with thick glasses she had seen with Cherise a few days ago, this boy looked much more like Arthur. His forehead, facial structure and features were strikingly familiar. Little did she know that they were the same person.

This realization made her heart race, and she couldn’t help but shout, “Turn around! Follow that young man! Hurry!” Her heart pounded as if she had been startled.

The driver, not daring to disobey, quickly turned the car around and began to chase after Hank on his bicycle.

The security guard at the gate, who was about to register Stella’s visit, was bewildered, wondering why there were so many incredible things happening today.

Hank, on his bicycle, was indeed moving at an incredible speed, zipping through the streets with the driver of Stella’s car following nervously behind.

Hank sensed the unfamiliar pursuit and his expression changed instantly. With one hand on the handlebars, he reached into his pocket with the other and took out his phone. Pretending to take a casual selfie, he actually used it to check out the car behind him.

After a quick glance, he let out a cold snort. “Just as I thought. It seems there are quite a few people keeping an eye on the Jarrett family,”

With that, he put his phone back in his pocket and prepared for a sprint, weaving through traffic like a silver snake.

A bicycle, of course, was much more agile than a car. Soon, the driver following Hank lost sight of him entirely and reported back, “Ms. Walton, we’ve lost him!”
