Chapter 462<\/p>\n
No matter how loudly Truman called after him, Morris remained unmoved, heading straight into the elevator.<\/p>\n
The elevator doors slowly closed once again. Truman was left standing outside, staring at the tightly shut doors, utterly perplexed.<\/p>\n
He murmured, \u201cWhat on earth is going on here? He looks like lie just woke up. The look in his eyes is totally different from usual. Marriage sure has a way of messing with people\u2019s heads. He even starts ignoring his own friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he turned and headed toward Morris\u2019s office, thinking he\u2019d sit there, have a snack, and wait it out\u2013or maybe find Steven and Leo to discuss the wedding plans.<\/p>\n
Halfway there, he stopped, a look of doubt crossing his face. He turned back toward the tightly shut elevator doors, feeling that something wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n
Leo walked out of the meeting room just in time to see Truman standing there, looking a bit dazed. \u201cMr. Simpson, what brings you here? Don\u2019t tell me you\u2019ve heard we\u2019re selecting wedding planners today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Realizing what he\u2019d said, Leo immediately covered his mouth, correcting himself. \u201cNo, I mean\u2013why aren\u2019t you going in? What are you doing just standing here? Mr. Chivers is in his office. And what\u2019s with the silence? Usually, you make noise before you even show up.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Truman didn\u2019t respond, Leo waved a hand in front of his face. Snapping out of it, Truman swatted Leo\u2019s hand away and said, \u201cIs something wrong with Morris today? He seemed completely out of it\u2013like the life had been drained out of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo replied, \u201cNo way! He is in great spirits today, like he\u2019s walking on air. I\u2019ve never seen him so upbeat\u2013except maybe when he\u2019s with his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he spoke, Leo couldn\u2019t help but chuckle. This wedding had him more excited than anyone else.<\/p>\n
Truman slapped his thigh hard and said, \u201cThen something\u2019s definitely not right.\u201d He looked up at the nearby security cameras, grabbed Leo\u2019s arm, and urged, \u201cQuick, the surveillance footage\u2013let\u2019s check it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo, dragged along, protested, \u201cHey, isn\u2019t Mr. Chivers in his office?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, he just left,\u201d Truman said, now visibly anxious, as he pulled Leo into Morris\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
There was no one in the room. Leo pointed to the desk and said. \u201cHe really isn\u2019t here. Mr. Simpson, look, his phone is still on the desk.\u201d Seemingly influenced by Truman\u2019s unease, he started feeling nervous himself.<\/p>\n
Truman was already reviewing the surveillance footage of Morris leaving the office. \u201cLeo, look closely. Doesn\u2019t he seem off to you? Just look at his expression.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo stared at the screen, nodding repeatedly. \u201cYou\u2019re right. He does, What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman continued scrubbing through the surveillance footage until it showed Morris leaving the Chivers Group building. He exclaimed, \u201cWhat the\u2013he drove off by himself and didn\u2019t even bring his phone. In this state, he shouldn\u2019t be driving.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo, extract this footage and send it to Cherise. I\u2019ll call her first to give her a heads\u2013up. We need to be extra cautious. Sure, Morris is formidable, but after the recent incident with Garrick, we can\u2019t be too careful.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anything goes wrong, it\u2019ll be a disaster. With the wedding just around the corner, losing the groom now would be a catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cherise was still at Carson\u2019s island. She had just finished eating when Truman\u2019s call came in. \u201cHello, Truman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman\u2019s tone was unusually grave as he said, \u201cCherise, check your phone. Leo\u2019s sending you some surveillance footage. Take a look. Something seems off with Morris.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe left the Chivers Group on his own, and his behavior is completely out of character. Worse, he didn\u2019t even take his phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s pupils dilated slightly as a sense of foreboding crept over her. She responded with a simple \u201cGot it\u201d and hung up.<\/p>\n
Unlocking her phone, she found that Leo\u2019s video had already come through. She watched it, her brows knitting together almost instantly.<\/p>\n
Carson, sitting nearby, noticed her change in expression and asked, \u201cSomething happened to Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
+5<\/p>\n
Cherise put her phone away, stood up abruptly, and replied, \u201cYes, it\u2019s clear from his eyes\u2013he\u2019s been cursed. It\u2019s probably the Hawkins family again. After all, I didn\u2019t exactly leave them in peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Ghost Hand just apprehended, they must\u2019ve planned this carefully to strike now. We need to leave immediately. Dr. Garcia, please get us to shore as soon as possible. Crow, track Morris\u2019s location and run a search for license plate PL98988.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow acted fast. The computer was ready, and he was typing rapidly on the keyboard while walking. Cherise reached into her bag and pulled out a small glass vial, her gaze turning icy cold.<\/p>\n
The vial contained the cursed worm she had extracted during a practical training session with students from the Traditional Medicine Department at the morgue of Betrico Hospital.<\/p>\n
It was the very same worm that had emerged from Garrick\u2019s body after his curse backfired.<\/p>\n
Cherise, Hugh, and Crow walked briskly. Soon, they returned to the shore and got into their car, ready to set off in search of Morris.<\/p>\n
Just as they climbed in, Crow pulled up some surveillance footage. \u201cBoss, take a look! Something\u2019s strange.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise leaned over, and Crow continued, \u201cHere, see? Mr. Chivers\u2018 car drove to this area near the outskirts of the city. It stopped there\u2013and hasn\u2019t moved since.\u201d<\/p>\n
