\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 516<\/p>\n
Chapter 516<\/p>\n
As soon as Cherise spoke, almost all the students from the Traditional Medicine Department at Betrico University started cheering.<\/p>\n
They deeply appreciated their hard\u2013earned professor and the new student who had just joined.<\/p>\n
The group left the convention center together.<\/p>\n
Hugh\u2019s bus was already waiting outside.<\/p>\n
Just as almost everyone had boarded the bus, leaving only Cherise and Hank, they heard a familiar voice behind them. \u201cMs. Leach, Hank, congratulations to both of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise and Hank froze mid\u2013step. They turned to look at each other before glancing behind them.<\/p>\n
It was Stella, the same woman who had been sitting at the interpreter\u2019s desk earlier.<\/p>\n
Seeing Stella, Cherise wasn\u2019t surprised, remembering how she had been staring at Hank during the competition.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled and nodded. \u201cMs. Walton, hello. Good to see<\/p>\n
you again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank furrowed his brow, confused.<\/p>\n
This woman again? The one who kept staring at me back at Betrico Hospital. What\u2019s going on here?\u2018 he wondered.<\/p>\n
Stella stepped forward with her signature bright smile. \u201cAre you two busy? I\u2019m really sorry to take a few minutes of your time. I was watching Hank compete earlier, and I was so impressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to come over and introduce myself. It\u2019s great to see such talent come out of Clusia.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then pulled two small cards from her bag. \u201cMs. Leach, you may not know this, but I\u2019ve been working in Hesperia and haven\u2019t been back much.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that I\u2019m back, I\u2019ve lost touch with a lot of old friends, so I\u2019m hosting a small party this Saturday afternoon to reconnect. Of course, I\u2019d love to invite both you and Hank. I hope you\u2019ll consider coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at the cards in Stella\u2019s hand, raised an eyebrow, and then looked up. \u201cMs. Walton, you are so gracious. With such a personal invitation, you even followed us out here. It\u2019d be rude not to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n
She took one of the cards from Stella\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
After Cherise took the card, she glanced at Hank, who was still looking confused, while Stella watched him intently too.<\/p>\n
Hank, still clueless, asked, \u201cWhat are you staring at me for? What party? I don\u2019t understand why I have to go\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled slightly, feeling the same confusion Hank had. She couldn\u2019t wait to see how Stella would handle this.<\/p>\n
Stella smiled at Hank, maintaining a poised expression. \u201cWell, to be honest, I\u2019m part of the Walton family. My father and brother have always been someone who values talent.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing up in that environment, I\u2019ve gotten into that habit too After seeing your performance today and considering your age, it\u2019s clear you\u2019re a rare and extraordinary talent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I see,\u201d Hank mumbled, unsure of how to respond, offering a vague answer.<\/p>\n
Stella smiled again, this time a little shy. \u201cActually, there\u2019s another reason. You look a lot like someone I know. When I saw<\/p>\n

Chapter 516<\/p>\n
you, I felt an immediate sense of familiarity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, arms crossed, leaned against the side of the bus and quietly watched their exchange.<\/p>\n
Hank, still bewildered, said, \u201cMadam, I\u2019m not kidding you. People have been telling me I look like someone lately. You\u2019re actually the seventh person to say that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome have said I look like her uncle, others say I look like her dad and even her granddad\u2026 That\u2019s nothing unusual. But what\u2019s strange is that some say I look like Arthur. Isn\u2019t that laughable?<\/p>\n
\u201cHey\u2026 Maybe I just have one of those ordinary faces. Who knows? Maybe my biological parents look just as plain. They must\u2019ve\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
At Hank\u2019s words, even Stella was taken aback.<\/p>\n
She had indeed thought Hank resembled Arthur.<\/p>\n
Hank shook his head, giving a cute smile. \u201cWell, in that case, I won\u2019t go. It\u2019s probably not the right place for me. Thank you for the invitation, madam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank waved and boarded the bus.<\/p>\n
Stella felt a little embarrassed. \u201cWell\u2026 Ms. Leach, I truly hope you can come to my party. I\u2019ve also invited Ms. Taylor and Jean. The more, the merrier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cMs. Walton, don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ve already said I\u2019ll come, so I will.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise decided that the gathering would take place at Ebb & Flow.<\/p>\n
By the time the bus arrived, Truman was already standing at the entrance, waiting. The past few days, he\u2019d been worried about being followed by Lydia again, so after meeting with Leo at Morris\u2019s place, he had stayed by Leo\u2019s side at all times.<\/p>\n
Those who didn\u2019t know might have assumed there was something between them.<\/p>\n
Cherise was bringing a large group. Truman was worried the crowd wouldn\u2019t be able to hear him, so he grabbed a small loudspeaker. \u201cHey, all the folks from Betrico University, look here!<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, congratulations on traditional medicine winning the championship! And thank you all for coming to our gathering here at Ebb & Flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got fruits and drinks ready inside, so please make yourselves at home. No need to be formal,\u201d Truman said warmly.<\/p>\n
As Cherise came down the stairs, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Truman and Leo before leading her students inside.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just Cherise who had noticed. Everyone seemed to be eyeing them.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo, have you noticed how everyone\u2019s staring at us?\u201d Truman asked, confused.<\/p>\n
Leo gave him a side\u2013eye and rolled his eyes. He seemed a little agitated. \u201cWho wouldn\u2019t look? Look at your hand! Can you stop holding onto me? If you keep doing that, I\u2019m sure no one will dare follow you.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as for me\u2026 they\u2019re all getting the wrong idea. I want to go on dates with girls, not you! People probably think we\u2019ve got something going on. Let go. I need to go find Mrs. Chivers and the others.\u201d<\/p>\n
