Chapter 182<\/p>\n
When Shirley saw Morris standing beside Cherise, she couldn\u2019t help but feel anxions.<\/p>\n
She thought. Whatever their relationship is, if Morris stays by Cherise\u2019s side, my plan will fall apart. I need to find a way sex get Cherise alone!<\/p>\n
Only after Cherise and Morris walked into the hotel lobby did those people snap out of their daze.<\/p>\n
Henry<\/p>\n
hurried forward to greet them. \u201cMr. Chivers, welcome! And thank you for coming<\/p>\n
The others also stepped forward to greet Morris.<\/p>\n
To them. Morris was different from Felix who had just gone in.<\/p>\n
Although Felix was also enigmatic, his power didn\u2019t rival Morris<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s enterprises were mostly legitimate.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t need to network\u2013he was a natural\u2013born leader. He just needed to stand there, and people would come up to flatter him.<\/p>\n
In contrast. Felix\u2019s situation was completely different.<\/p>\n
Morris gave Henry a polite nod, then glanced at Cherise, and sad tenderly, \u201cShall we go in?\u201d<\/p>\n
Just as he finished, Henry took the lead, eager to guide them.<\/p>\n
However, before they could take a step, Shirley blocked their path and said, \u201cCherise, we are sisters. Could you stay at moment and help me with something?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise slightly raised an eyebrow. \u201cOh? What do you need my help with?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley, with a look of feigned anxiety, pleaded, \u201cMost of the guests have arrived, and I need to change into a different gown for the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy friends are already seated, and Mom and the others will be busy entertaining everyone inside. There\u2019s available\u2013I\u2019m begging you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled and patted Morris\u2019s hand. \u2018Go on inside without me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, she gave him a wink that no one could see.<\/p>\n
Morris, feeling a bit helpless, touched the necklace still hanging from her neck. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
Amused, Cherise nodded and said, \u201cJust go inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those around them couldn\u2019t<\/p>\n
s no one else<\/p>\n
help but feel a mix of emotions at their closeness\u2013jealousy, displeasure, resentment.<\/p>\n
After Henry led Morris into the banquet hall, Mandy, who had been fuming, put on a caring expression and approached.<\/p>\n
Cherise.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cCherise, may I ask\u2026 what\u2019s your relationship with Mr. Chivers? You two seem-* Before she could finish, Cherise cut her off. \u201cOur relationship? Didn\u2019t your husband tell you?* She cast a sidelong glance at Jacob, who awkwardly avoided her gaze.<\/p>\n
08:28 Mon, Dec 9<\/p>\n
Chapter 182<\/p>\n
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what Jacob had to do with this.<\/p>\n
As Jacob rentained silent, Cherise gave a cold smile and said, \u201cIxactly what<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Cherise, are you not kidding?\u201d Although the truth was right in front of her, Shirley didn\u2019t want to believe it.<\/p>\n
Jealousy seemed to burn within her.<\/p>\n
Beside her, Melissa felt the same, if not more.<\/p>\n
Cherise gestured toward the banquet hall and said coolly, \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe it, go ask Morris yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, none of them dared to ask Morris, but they still found it hard to accept what they\u2019d seen.<\/p>\n
They were merely fooling themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d Cherise said, glancing at Shirley, who was standing there in a daze. \u201cWeren\u2019t you asking for my help? If we don\u2019t hurry. I\u2019m going in to find my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the guests all settled in, it was time for the ceremony to begin as soon as Shirley had changed into her dress.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Shirley led Cherise to the dressing room, giving Mandy a quick nod on the way in.<\/p>\n
Mandy instantly understood and responded with a slight smile.<\/p>\n
When Shirley went to change clothes, everyone except Mandy quickly returned to the banquet hall to entertain the guests.<\/p>\n
As soon as Morris entered the banquet hall, he attracted the attention of many people.<\/p>\n
Some felt tempted to approach him and build rapport, but they held back, keeping the thought to themselves.<\/p>\n
Henry tried to lead Morris to the host\u2019s table, but Morris refused and instead went straight to the table where Truman was seated, taking a seat there casually.<\/p>\n
Once seated, he sent a text to Cherise and then noticed Felix walking toward him.<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s gaze followed Felix as he walked over.<\/p>\n
Grinning from ear to ear, Felix said, \u201cMr. Chivers, it\u2019s been a long time.<\/p>\n
He raised his glass, intending to clink it with Morris\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Morris remained seated, responding coldly, \u201cIs that so? I don\u2019t recall us meeting before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must have simply forgotten, Felix remarked, hiding his irritation but making a mental note of Morris\u2019s attitude.<\/p>\n
He thought, \u2018Everyone I meet usually goes out of their way to flatter me. Morris may be arrogant now, but once I expand my reach, we\u2019ll see who truly holds power in this city.<\/p>\n
