\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 41<\/p>\n
Chapter 41<\/p>\n
Jacob and Andy had been out of town on business, so they missed the drama when Cherise and Jeffrey ended their<\/p>\n
engagement.<\/p>\n
Now, when Jacob was back home at the main house of the Leac Manor, he lieard Mandy and Shirley spin the tale and his anger flared.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise is so classless and so greedy, Jacob growled, his face flushed with rage. \u201cThe Leach family is one of the top four in Betrico\u2014we can\u2019t support a girl from a backwater town?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she hurt Shirley. People will think I\u2019m a terrible father, I swear I\u2019ll break her legs!\u201d Jacob slammed his fist on the table for emphasis.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet me the surveillance footage.\u201d Jacob barked, his eyes narrowing. \u201cI want to see who this shady character she\u2019s been with<\/p>\n
is,<\/p>\n
Mandy and Shirley stood by, smirking at the situation.<\/p>\n
Soon, Luke, the security guard, returned, shaking his head. \u201cMr. Leach, the footage shows that Shirley fell. No Rolls\u2013Royce in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on, \u201cThe surveillance room was unmanned yesterday. Only the gardener saw Cherise go in, but she was out in less than two minutes. Could it be that Cherise\u2026<\/p>\n
No way. Cherise was such a handful back in Yasvissa\u2019s small town that the teachers didn\u2019t even want to deal with her. This takes serious hacking skills, and it\u2019s not her, Shirley said, her voice firm with disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right, Shirley, Jacob agreed, nodding. I checked. Even though her grandmother Amelia was a teacher, Cherise didn\u2019t even last two years in school. She\u2019s basically functionally illiterate. It must have been a surveillance glitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d Luke tried to interject, but Mandy cut him off.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough, Mandy said, waving him away. \u201cThat\u2019s all for now,\u201d<\/p>\n
With a sigh, Luke left, thinking to himself, T\u2019m just a grunt. If the boss doesn\u2019t want to hear it, I guess I keep my mouth shut Actually, Zach, a former hacker who worked in the surveillance room now, told Luke that the footage looked tampered with. He saw the word \u201cidiot\u201d flash on the screen when Shirley fell, edited flawlessly\u2013definitely a pro\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
As soon as Luke was gone, Jacob let out a relieved sigh. \u201cThank God we called off Cherise\u2019s engagement. If not, we would have ticked off the Chambers family for sure. Well, Shirley\u2019s such a safe bet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the news of Cherise and Jeffrey\u2019s broken engagement, posted by Shirley on social media yesterday, was going viral among Betrico\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey, the superstar Melissa\u2019s brother, and Shirley, who had a bit of fame in Betrico, had piqued the interest of many fans<\/p>\n
and netizens.<\/p>\n
Netizen 1: [Didni Jeffrey used to be engaged to the brilliant Shirley from Betrico University? Who\u2019s this Cherise? I can\u2019t keep up with the rich folks\u2018 drama.]<\/p>\n
Netizen 2: [I heard Cherise just got back after living in a small town for over ten years. Jeffrey\u2019s from the big Chambers family. He wouldn\u2019t ditch a brilliant woman from Betrico University for a small\u2013town girl.]<\/p>\n
Netizen 3: [Look at the document! It\u2019s clear Cherise was the one who broke off the engagement. She and Jeffrey were<\/p>\n

Netizen 4: You\u2019ve hit the nail on the head. The phrase \u201cPlay Cuperd\u201d at the end of the document says it all.<\/p>\n
Netizen 3 II heard Cherise is the real young lady of the Leach family, and Shirley carne in later with her mom\u2019s m but her mom\u2019s family is loaded, moo |<\/p>\n
marriage.<\/p>\n
Netizen 6. [If it were me, I would marry a woman with connections and clout\u2013it could save me decades of hustle. Marrying a small\u2013town girl with no class or background? That\u2019d mess up the next generation.]<\/p>\n
Netizen 7: [1 heard Cherise got kicked out of school after a few years and is all about chasing older men ]<\/p>\n
Netizen 8: Netizen 7 Really? No wonder the Chambers family wants out. She sounds like trouble. I don\u2019t know what she looks like, but she\u2019s probably as unsophisticated as she comes from a small town.<\/p>\n
Netizen 9. [This isn\u2019t my circus, not my monkeys. I\u2019ve got work to do\u2026]<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Melissa tweeted. [True love always finds its way. Congrats to my bro and to Shirley, the sister\u2013in\u2013law I approve of Can\u2019t wait for your engagement party!] Below was a selfie of her beaming smile.<\/p>\n
The internet exploded, social media ablaze with trending topics like. [Superstar Melissa blesses her brother with a selfie). [Melissa\u2019s brother ditches a small\u2013town girl], [Small\u2013town girl too dramatic for Chambers family]. [Jeffrey and Betrico University\u2019s brain set to get engaged], and [Cherise, the gold\u2013digger.]<\/p>\n
Cherise was clueless about the online frenzy. She\u2019d just hung up with Trent, who wanted her to perform at the upcoming Betrico University anniversary. She had flatly refused.<\/p>\n
After the call, she tossed her phone onto the couch, grabbed the newly arrived herbs, and headed to the kitchen to whip up some medicine for Oliver, the folks in Saphira, and Morris\u2019s grandmother\u2013to keep them strong and healthy.<\/p>\n
Xenia, witnessing the online chaos, paced anxiously. She tried calling Cherise, but Cherise was always on another call Now that she was not, she was not picking up at all.<\/p>\n
Xenia thought, Is she too devastated? No way. Cherise is stunning; she\u2019s too good for Jeffrey. It\u2019s these netizens calling her a hick. I can\u2019t take it. I\u2019ve got to call Truman and tell him to rein in Melissa in his company.\u201d<\/p>\n
