\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 504<\/p>\n
Chapter 504<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s condition showed significant improvement under Cherise\u2019s specific treatment plan, with her mental state noticeably<\/p>\n
better.<\/p>\n
To avoid delaying Hank\u2019s participation in the upcoming Traditional and Modern Medicine competition, Cherise arranged for a caregiver to look after Clara, allowing Hank to return to Berico University and focus on his studies and preparation.<\/p>\n
On the way home, Hugh drove ahead, and Cherise sat in the back seat.<\/p>\n
She propped her chin on her hand and gazed out the window, her thoughts turning to recent matters regarding Hank.<\/p>\n
Two things had raised doubts in her mind.<\/p>\n
First, there was Jean. That day, Jean had said she vaguely recognized Hank, especially the moment when Hank wasn\u2019t wearing his glasses. But she couldn\u2019t place him.<\/p>\n
The second thing was the look of confusion she had noticed in Stella\u2019s eyes earlier at Betrico Hospital.<\/p>\n
When Cherise left the hospital, she had done a quick background check on Stella. Stella was Tristan\u2019s younger sister, the daughter of Jagger, one of the founding fathers of Clusia, and the former chief interpreter for Hesperia.<\/p>\n
Stella had just stepped down from her position a few days ago, and today she was already hired by the Clusia Translation Bureau. She was, without a doubt, a talented individual.<\/p>\n
Cherise watched a few untranslated videos from Hesperia, and Stella\u2019s performance was impressive, flawless, composed, and calm, with not a single hint of hesitation or error.<\/p>\n
Cherise then checked the opinions of industry professionals, all of whom had nothing but praise for her.<\/p>\n
This was a stark contrast to the uneasy, shocked look Stella had on her face when she was staring at Hank\u2019s profile earlier. From a psychological standpoint, when someone who had always been composed and skilled at handling all situations suddenly displayed an unexpected reaction, it usually meant something had occurred that they were struggling to process<\/p>\n
The answer seemed obvious. It was all about Hank.<\/p>\n
Jean and Stella knew each other. They were neighbors. Their shared confusion pointed to one conclusion the person they both knew was somehow connected to Hank, and that guy looked very much like Hank.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled gently to herself. \u2018Hank\u2019s secret is becoming even more intriguing,\u2018 she wondered.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Dark Web Division sent Morris some information about Hank.<\/p>\n
What struck Morris as odd was that this new batch of information was nearly identical to what Leo had uncovered last time. \u201cCould Hank really just be an ordinary orphan? If that\u2019s the case, then there\u2019s nothing to worry about,\u201d Morris muttered.<\/p>\n
Morris took the file and studied it more closely, furrowing his brow. His gaze fell on the last page, where a photo was attached.<\/p>\n
Ignoring the thick bangs and the deep\u2013set glasses, there was a faint sense of familiarity.<\/p>\n
The last time Cherise was near him, Morris had barely glanced at the strange fourteen\u2013year\u2013old boy.<\/p>\n
But there was nothing to see. As far as Morris was concerned, as long as the kid didn\u2019t harm Cherise, he was of no consequence.<\/p>\n

Chapter 304<\/p>\n
It was Stella\u2019s first day on the job at the Translation Bureau.<\/p>\n
Because of Stella\u2019s unique status and background, the highest\u2013ranking officials of the Translation Bureau came out to greet her personally.<\/p>\n
Her colleagues couldn\u2019t help but look up to this interpreter who had seamlessly transitioned from Hesperia.<\/p>\n
However, putting aside Stella\u2019s family background, her appearance, demeanor, and abilities spoke for themselves. Wherever she went, she made an impression.<\/p>\n
Amir Maxfield, the director of the bureau, greeted her warmly. \u201cStella, welcome! Tristan and I go way back, and we\u2019ll have to throw you a welcome party soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut today, I\u2019ve got an important meeting to attend to. Why don\u2019t you take some time to get familiar with your new surroundings?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella nodded gracefully. \u201cThank you, Mr. Maxfield. Please, go ahead with your<\/p>\n
work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amir smiled. \u201cAlright, Miriam, we\u2019re ready to go. Huh? Where\u2019s Miriam?\u201d<\/p>\n
An anxious staff member rushed in and said, \u201cMr. Maxfield, Miriam\u2019s suddenly feeling unwell, and it looks pretty serious.\u201d Amir frowned, clearly displeased. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Why is this happening at the last minute?\u201d<\/p>\n
The staff member seemed frantic. \u201cWe\u2019re not sure. It came out of nowhere. But it could cause delays, and today\u2019s meeting is especially important. The higher\u2013ups might blame us\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe visitors are high\u2013ranking leaders from Ostara. Ostaraish is a rare minor language, and Miriam\u2019s the only one who knows it here. What should we do? If we can\u2019t find a replacement Mr. Jarrett will be furious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella, who had been quietly listening, suddenly spoke up. \u201cWhy don\u2019t I go? I know Ostaraish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amir\u2019s face lit up in surprise. \u201cStella, you can really do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella nodded confidently. \u201cYes, during my time in Hesperia, I didn\u2019t just learn Hesperian. I also picked up several other languages, including Ostaraish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without missing a beat, Stella switched to fluent Ostaraish. \u201cHello, everyone. I\u2019m Stella, new here. I hope I can get along well with everyone in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the staff members couldn\u2019t help but applaud. \u201cAmazing, Ms. Walton! Your pronunciation is spot on!\u201d Amir visibly relaxed, checking the time. \u201cWell, Stella, thank you so much. It\u2019s getting late.
