Chapter 268
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 268<\/p>\n
After dropping Cherise off at Betrico University, Morris asked Leo to take him to GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, inside the conference room at GlobalVision Group, Across the long conference table, Morris and Jason sat facing each other. One had the majestic presence of a reigning king, while the other was the epitome of a refined gentleman.<\/p>\n
Morris acted like he was in his own domain, completely at ease. After serving him a cup of coffee, Leo sensed the odd atmosphere and quickly left the room. Morris picked up the coffee, took a sip, and frowned.<\/p>\n
“What’s wrong? Is GlobalVision Group’s coffee not to your liking, Mr. Chivers?” Jason asked nonchalantly as he noticed Morris frown.<\/p>\n
Morris smirked slightly. “It’s not the best, but it’s okay.”<\/p>\n
Jason let out a cold laugh, “Of course, it can’t compare to your Chivers Group! So tell me, what brings a big shot like you, the CEO of both Chivers and now Syphonea Group, two powerful companies, to visit a low-profile assistant like me?<\/p>\n
“Nobody visits without a reason. Is it about Cherise?”<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled, pulling a cigarette from the pack on the table and gently pushing the box forward.<\/p>\n
The cigarette pack slid over to Jason. Jason saw this and also picked up a cigarette.<\/p>\n
They both lit their cigarettes, taking a puff, and curls of smoke took shape in front of them. They didn’t appear as business partners. Rather, they seemed like friends with some unspoken understanding.<\/p>\n
Morris flicked the ash gently into the ashtray. “Yes, it’s indeed about her. But first, I have to thank you for helping me secure the bid for the Agrieviel block.”<\/p>\n
Jason tapped his ash too, “You used your own money. I just made a few calls for you. No need to thank me, it was mainly your strong support.”<\/p>\n
Morris acknowledged without any modesty, “True.”<\/p>\n
They smoked quietly for a while. After a few minutes, Morris spoke again, “Did Rayburn return to Hamolica?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah,” Jason nodded, with a soft sound.<\/p>\n
Morris put out the still-burning cigarette. “Last time at Gavino’s 80th birthday, Rayburn told me he might just stay in Betrico for good. Is he heading back to Hamolica so suddenly because of Cherise?<\/p>\n
“Last time when Cherise was at Chivers Residence affected by the Bone-Eroding drug, Jason took a few strands of her hair. I knew about it.<\/p>\n
“But I just didn’t reveal it, thinking it was better to let things play out naturally. No need to force it!”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Jason felt there was no point in hiding it from Morris since it would be so easy for him to find out. “Yes, it really does have something to do with Cherise. Since you already know, there’s no point hiding it from you.<\/p>\n
“The paternity test is done,” After saying this, Jason shook his head.<\/p>\n
It was quite normal that Jason didn’t know about Cherise’s hacking skills or her hacker identity.<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, Morris smirked. He found Cherise’s hacking skills had improved again. It took him ten minutes to pull up her genetic data just to cover his tracks.<\/p>\n
Jason watched Morris occasionally smile slightly but had no idea why.<\/p>\n
The next moment, Morris spoke up, “We’ve retrieved the genetic data for both Cherise and Rayburn. We should have the results in about an hour.”<\/p>\n
Jason was momentarily stunned, finding it quite unbelievable. But then again, it was not surprising. The CEOs of two such powerful corporations were bound to have considerable skill.<\/p>\n
That hour passed surprisingly fast, but for some, it felt like an eternity. In fact, it wasn’t even a full hour before the soft chime of an incoming email sounded from the laptop.<\/p>\n
Jason was just as nervous as he was last time, but there was also a hint of calmness.<\/p>\n
The two of them were still sitting in the same spot.<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, Morris shook his head at him.<\/p>\n
Jason couldn’t believe it, and he walked briskly over to the computer. One look and he was just about ready to give up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-293","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
