Chapter 337<\/p>\n
A few hours later, Morris\u2019s private jet landed smoothly at Betric Airport. As soon as he stepped off the plane, he headed straight to Chivers Group.<\/p>\n
Leo, sitting in the passenger seat, filled him in on the latest happenings in Betrico, \u201cMr. Chivers, the foundation work for the Syphonca Group has begun. The engineering department reports that the project should be completed by the second half of next year.<\/p>\n
Morris, sitting in the back. barely reacted. Without Cherise beside him, his face was almost blank. \u201cJust follow Cherise\u2019s design plans and make sure the construction site is safe. What about the Chivers residence? Any news?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo answered quickly. \u201cYour biological father went there. According to our Dark Web Division sources, Mrs. Phoebe Chivers didn\u2019t let him inside. Apparently, there was some disagreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue seems to be that he opposes you and Mrs. Chivers getting married. Word is, he left angrily, complaining that you didn\u2019t listen to him anymore. Mrs. Phoebe Chivers had a hard time dealing with it, considering he\u2019s her son. She just warned.<\/p>\n
him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris sneered and said, \u201cWho is he to say no to my marriage? On the surface, he\u2019s my biological father, but honestly, he\u2019s worse than a stranger.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just feeling uneasy because Cherise is too good, and together, we would become too powerful, something he can\u2019t control. If it weren\u2019t for Grandma, he would have been\u2026.<\/p>\n
Never mind. Let\u2019s see what trouble he thinks he can cause. Joseph is gone, yet he still hasn\u2019t learned his lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo paused for a moment before continuing. Also, there\u2019s news from the Jarrett family. Mr. Lucas Jarrett wanted you i when you have time. He mentioned bringing Mrs. Chivers along<\/p>\n
to visit<\/p>\n
Morris didn\u2019t respond, his sharp gaze fixed on the view outside the window. The Jarrett family was his birth mother\u2019s family. She had died from complications during childbirth, leaving him with only distant memories of her.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Morris\u2019s connection with the Jarrett family had been limited to his grandfather Lucas, his grandmother Mary, and Arthur. As for Arthur, the government official in Clusia, he was Morris\u2019s uncle, though their contact had always<\/p>\n
been sparse.<\/p>\n
Morris guessed that the reason they were asking him to visit was likely because of his marriage to Cherise. It seemed that his decision to register their marriage had stirred up more attention than he had expected.<\/p>\n
However, he just wondered what Cherise was up to and if she was thinking about him.<\/p>\n
In Saphira, Cherise woke up from her nap, reaching for her phone on the nightstand. After checking the time, she realized she had slept for several hours. She felt much more refreshed.<\/p>\n
Morris sent her a message: [I\u2019ve arrived in Betrico. Don\u2019t worry about me.]<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled, rubbed her eyes, and quickly typed a reply: [1 just woke up and missed your message. Don\u2019t focus only on work; take care of yourself! I\u2019ll have Hugh send you something nice tomorrow. Kisses!]<\/p>\n
Right now, Morris was in the middle of a meeting. After being away from the office for a few days, a mountain of work had piled up. He frowned and said, \u201cSo, this is how you\u2019ve handled things while I was gone, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
The senior executives sitting around the conference table didn\u2019t dare make a sound. They were all anxiously waiting for his next words.<\/p>\n

Chapter 837<\/p>\n
Many of the executives were secretly wondering why Morris had already become distant so soon after his marriage. They thought, Has his needs not been met?<\/p>\n
Morris wasn\u2019t feeling much better himself. If it weren\u2019t for the mountain of things waiting for him in Betrico, he would have preferred to stay in Yasvissa with Cherise.<\/p>\n
Irritated, he reached for the pack of cigarrites on the table, pulling one out. Seeing this, Steven quickly stepped forward and lit it for him.<\/p>\n
The white smoke curled up into the air, and the room was suddenly filled with the sharp scent of tobacco. The senior executives sitting around the table felt an uneasy chill, their nerves on edge.<\/p>\n
Just then, Leo entered the room, holding Morris\u2019s phone in his hand. He walked up to him and said, \u201cMr. Chivers, there\u2019s a new message on your WhatsApp\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris, still holding the cigarette, immediately perked up. He quickly snatched the phone from Leo\u2019s hand and glanced down at the screen. A few seconds later, his previously tense expression softened, and he quickly typed a reply to Cherise: [Looking forward to the package.]<\/p>\n
He looked up at the others, his face now noticeably more relaxed \u201cMeeting dismissed. I\u2019ll give you one more day to revise the reports. Have them on my desk tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
A collective sigh of relief passed through the room as everyone quickly grabbed their documents and began filing out of the meeting. In their minds, they silently thanked the person who hard just sent the message.<\/p>\n
If they guessed right, it was probably Morris\u2019s wife\u2013the one who had softened him just in time.<\/p>\n
After Cherise got up and had a meal, she decided to visit Marion<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, look who decided to visit us after her husband headed back to Betrico, Marlon, who was playing chess with Trent, joked as he noticed her.<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t mind it, knowing it was just casual banter. After placing the pastries Bella had made on the table, she casually sat back on the chair in the living room, making herself at home.<\/p>\n
Marlon\u2019s house had been renovated years ago by people from Betrico. It had an ancient yet refined feel to it. The small villas surrounding his house were mostly owned by people in Betrico, with only Trent here at the moment.<\/p>\n
Once the chess ended, Marlon turned to Cherise with a knowing smile. \u201cSo, you came all the way out here just to watch us play, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise tilted her head, replying with a playful grin, \u201cIs that a problem? But I do have something to ask you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marlon chuckled heartily. \u201cI knew it. Go on, what\u2019s on your mind?<\/p>\n
Cherise straightened up, looking at the two of them. \u201cGrandpa Marlon, Mr. Graham, how many years ago was it when you both first came to Saphira?\u201d<\/p>\n
They both thought for a moment and then Trent spoke up. \u201cIt was 15 years ago. Marlon brought me here. Back then, your grandmother had just brought you from the Leach family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marlon nodded, adding, \u201cFor me, it was 36 years ago. We came to small villages to help with the infrastructure construction, and I went to Saphira, Yasvissa. At that time, your mother hadn\u2019t even graduated from university yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
