Chapter 286
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 286<\/p>\n
Camellia, already in a bad mood, felt her anger growing stronger.<\/p>\n
Garrick glanced at her. “Let’s forget about getting Hannia back for now. You need to go back to the training facility and face your punishment.”<\/p>\n
Camellia looked down, her eyes filled with anger. “Yes.”<\/p>\n
On the ride back to Glenshire Gardens, Cherise turned to Morris and playfully said, “Your tactics are quite sneaky, aren’t they?”<\/p>\n
Morris smiled gently and lifted her chin with one finger. “I just want to make sure our romantic lives aren’t interrupted.”<\/p>\n
Cherise laughed. “That strategy is pretty clever.”<\/p>\n
The next day, which was the weekend, Cherise put on a casual outfit and drove to GlobalVision Group herself.<\/p>\n
She went straight to the underground lab.<\/p>\n
Once she entered the lab, she put on a white lab coat and closed the door behind her.<\/p>\n
Wearing special protective gloves, she took out the serpentine weapon that Camellia had used the day before.<\/p>\n
She placed it into a square container filled with a clear liquid and watched as the weapon started bubbling almost immediately.<\/p>\n
Cherise moved the container under a medical microscope and focused closely while adjusting the device’s tiny parts.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, she saw two small worms wriggling on a piece of white test paper.<\/p>\n
They were invisible to the naked eye and could only be seen through the high magnification of the microscope.<\/p>\n
Using precise medical tweezers, Cherise gently poked the tiny creatures through the lens, causing them to move rapidly.<\/p>\n
They looked ready to attack.<\/p>\n
Cherise thought for a moment, her mind racing. “I remember reading about these creatures in a book in grandma’s study. A certain tribe in Clusias grows venomous insects for their purposes.”<\/p>\n
A woman can use these insects to make sure her crush’s heart belongs only to her, sometimes causing miscarriages or disfiguring their rivals with venom.<\/p>\n
Rich merchants use these insects to force competitors to disclose business secrets.<\/p>\n
And people can use these creatures to get rid of their enemies.<\/p>\n
As soon as she settled in, Dora handed her a file. “Recently, an investment firm called Orlinth Innovations has been shorting our stock.<\/p>\n
“I think they’re trying to lower the stock price so they can buy it all and take control of our company.”<\/p>\n
“Orlinth Innovations?” Cherise repeated, confused.<\/p>\n
This was the first time she had heard of that company, and their ability to short GlobalVision Group showed they had considerable power.<\/p>\n
Cherise walked over to Dora’s laptop, quickly pulled up information about Orlinth Innovations, and discovered they had just started making a name for themselves; it was no wonder they hadn’t come up in Clusia before.<\/p>\n
Her finger scrolled down at the name of the corporate representative and raised an eyebrow. “Camellia? How interesting; it looks like we have a connection lately. Ha!”<\/p>\n
Dora asked, “Do you know her?”<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. “Yes, we’ve had a confrontation.”<\/p>\n
Dora smiled.<\/p>\n
Cherise added, “Let them keep shorting the stock; it’ll be a chance for me. If they want to take control of GlobalVision Group, they should have the decency to ask me first.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-311","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/311","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=311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
