Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562

A few seconds later, Lydia crossed her arms and slowly walked up to Cherise and Hank

She stared at Cherise for a moment before speaking coldly. “Me. Leach, what are you doing here? Oh no, I may date be calling you Mrs. Chivers now. Mrs. Chivers, why do you keep interfering with my plane

“You did the same thing at the Walton residence tea party last time, and now you’re doing again. If I remember correcty this has nothing to do with you, does it?”

At Lydia’s words, the emotionless expression on Cherise’s face twisted into a mocking mark. “How is fave not my band Jean is my husband’s cousin, and this boy is my student.

“As a teacher, I have a responsibility to fulfill. My student went missing, so of come, I had to find him. That’s generdy reasonable.

“And besides, Ms. Walton, you keep pulling these stunts again and again. If it weren’t for the Walton family hting, me power in Clusia to shield you, you would’ve already met your downfall

Hearing Cherise’s words, Lydia let out a cold snort. “Hah, Mrs. Chivers, listen to yourself. But you really are quite the dedicated professor.

“We only invited this child here because we needed to confirm something with him. Once we’re done, well personally can him back.

“Look at him–he’s standing right in front of you, perfectly fine. Isn’t that right, Hank?” As Lydia spoke, the mouthed the word “orphanage” in front of Hank.

Hank, of course, knew what she meant–it was a threat. He had no idea what was happening at Charity Orphanage right

now.

That one word made Hank clench his fists tightly and grit his teeth.

“Isn’t that right, Hank? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Lydia asked again, her tone carrying an implicit threat. “Tell your dear professor, have I done anything bad to you? Have I threatened or hurt you in any way?”

Hank glanced at Cherise, then turned back to Lydia, looking as if he was struggling internally.

The next second, his voice cracked as he spoke, tears brimming in his eyes. “Ms. Leach, you have to help me!

“They’re just like bandits! They grabbed me off the street and dragged me here. No, not dragged–escorted me like this” He dramatically demonstrated, raising both hands as if being forcibly held. “It hurt so much.

“They even blindfolded me and took me to this maze–like place, where they kept pressuring me with threats and bribes. They kept asking if I had any connection to the Jarrett family.

“I said no, but this evil woman wouldn’t believe me! She even threatened me–she said if I didn’t talk, they would kill everyone at the orphanage.

“How could I possibly be related to the Jarrett family? If I were, would I still be living in that orphanage? I’m so scared. I just want to go home.

“Ms. Leach, you have to stand up for me! Do you know this is illegal confinement? I want to sue her! I want to sue all of them! I want to sue this evil woman!”

Hank kept talking, tears and snot flowing uncontrollably, until Cherise let out a few soft coughs.

Lydia was completely stunned by Hank’s words. She hadn’t expected him to be so unpredictable, and this outright infuriated her. “You! Very well. If you really don’t afraid-

You see, Ms. Leach? She’s trying to threaten me again.” Hank cut Lydia off before she could even finish speaking.

Lydia looked at the sharp–tongued Hank, then at Cherise, who was staring at her intently. “Do you two understand the consequences of offending the Walton family? Ms. Leach, I trust you’re well aware of the extent of our power.”

“It’s just that if something were to happen to the Walton family, I’d have a hard time explaining it to all of Clusia. I’m sure you understand.
