Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556

Morris and Cherise spoke the same familiar name at the same time: “Hank Reese.”

After saying it out loud, Cherise smiled. “That 14–year–old boy truly has a meticulous mind. Jean has been to Charity Orphanage too, but Hank knew Jean is carefree and wouldn’t pay too much attention to a little girl’s appearance.

“So, he chose a girl who always hides in corners and isn’t easily noticed, disguised her, and then had her deliver the letter to Jean, who was acting as my bridesmaid that day.

“Moreover, I’m certain he developed his own signal jammer in secret. Otherwise, with our hacking skills, there’s no way we wouldn’t be able to recover the missing footage from the surveillance video.”

Morris completely agreed with Cherise’s logic.

Tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, he said, “After all, he is the son of a politician–naturally, he’s not ordinary. Besides, if my guess is correct, Hank is very likely your half–brother.”

Cherise had thought about this as well. Just as Morris said, if the letter came from Hank, then he must have some connection to her mother, Claire.

She pondered whether the relationship between Hank and Claire was truly what she and Morris suspected. If it was, then that would mean she and Hank were siblings.

The realization made Cherise take a sharp breath. “I never expected something this complicated to happen to me. If he really is my brother, then I’ll have to rethink so many things from the past.”

Morris nodded and handed her a glass of water. “That’s right. A lot of things may need to be reconsidered. But one thing I can be sure of–Betrico won’t be peaceful for much longer.

“After all, the people involved in this are far from ordinary. And many are watching closely, waiting for their chance.”

After taking a sip of water, Cherise said, “That’s true. When I return to Betrico University tomorrow, I’ll have to confront Hank about this. If everything is exactly as we suspect, I need to know what my mother has been doing all these years.”

The next day, Cherise’s wedding leave had officially ended. After breakfast, she prepared to head to Betrico University to teach her class.

The students in the Traditional Medicine Department were well aware that Cherise would be returning today. Many of them had gotten up early, eager to arrive at the classroom ahead of time to wait for her.

Hank was no exception. After saying goodbye to Maeve and the children at the orphanage, he set off for Betrico University as usual, riding his bicycle.

The road from the orphanage to Betrico University had always been eerily quiet–so quiet, in fact, that it could almost be described as desolate.

Perhaps Hank had long grown accustomed to such silence. As he pedaled, he even hummed a little tune. He looked completely at ease, seemingly unaware that Cherise and Morris had already uncovered many truths.

However, in the very next second, Hank’s instincts kicked in. A wave of unease washed over him as he sensed an approaching danger.

Just as he was about to speed up and get out of there, a large group of men dressed in black, all highly trained, swarmed in from all directions.

He could fight, but against so many strong and well–trained individuals, escaping wouldn’t be easy.

Still sitting on his bike, he gripped the handlebars tightly. “Who are you? Why are you here? I’m on my way to class–please step aside.”
