Chapter 60<\/p>\n
Cherise cruised down the street in her Porsche Panamera, with Morris keeping her company in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n
passen<\/p>\n
Morris glanced over at Cherise as she drove and said, \u201cCherise, my grandmother can be a bit much, but she\u2019s got a heart of gold. I hope nothing she said got to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise offered a soft smile in response, saying, \u201cNo way. She\u2019s positive and cheerful. That\u2019s how seniors should be. I really like Phoebe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visibly relieved. Morris gently replied, \u201cTim glad to hear that.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Melissa pulled up to the Chivers residence\u2019s main house and parked. Stepping out, she gathered bags of all sizes from the trunk, filled with high\u2013end health supplements and gourmet treats.<\/p>\n
With a pleased expression. Melissa headed towards the living room. As a reigning queen in Clusia and a star in her own right, she had her own set of advantages and capital.<\/p>\n
Putting her status as a Chambers aside, Melissa looked stunning in a form\u2013fitting, bright red, mid\u2013sleeve knit dress that highlighted her perfect curves. She looked elegant and alluring. Her makeup was on point, adding a touch of sophistication and dimension to her already striking features.<\/p>\n
Even with the assortment of gift boxes in hand, her walk was undiminished in its elegance and charm.<\/p>\n
Phoebe, seated in the living room\u2019s main seat, caught sight of the vibrant figure from afar but remained indifferent, leisurely picking up her coffee cup and taking a slow sip.<\/p>\n
As Melissa approached and called out, \u201cPhoebe, Phoebe nonchalantly put down her coffee cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, it\u2019s you, Cherise. From afar, I saw someone wandering around and thought it was Enya. My eyes must be playing tricks\/ on me in my old age.\u201d Phoebe said with a hint of sarcasm.<\/p>\n
Standing nearby, Enya fought back a smirk, recalling how Phoebe had spotted Cherise from a distance in the backyard that very morning and had rushed over with no trouble.<\/p>\n
Melissa was taken aback for a moment when Phoebe mistook her for Enya, thinking to herself, \u2018My figure and temperament have nothing in common with Enya. Never mind. She\u2019s just an old lady with poor eyesight. A little flattery will do the trick.\u2018<\/p>\n
\u201cPhoebe, you\u2019re pulling my leg. You\u2019re still radiant and youthful, not old at all,\u201d Melissa said with a flattering smile.<\/p>\n
Phoebe chuckled and said, \u201cYou, a big star, always know the right things to say. Her gaze flicked to the gifts Melissa was carrying. \u201cOh, you shouldn\u2019t have. It\u2019s enough that you came.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPhoebe, it\u2019s necessary. Just some common tonics. You\u2019re recovering from an illness and should take care of yourself,\u201d Melissa said, feigning obedience and consideration,<\/p>\n
Phoebe turned to Enya and said, \u201cEnya, quickly help Melissa She must be tired from carrying all these things.<\/p>\n
Melissa shook her head, insisting, \u201cIt\u2019s not tiring, Phoebe, Your health is what matters<\/p>\n
Enya went over to help Melissa place the tonics on the table.<\/p>\n
After a sigh of relief, Melissa sat down next to Phoebe.<\/p>\n
Phoebe glanced at Melissa and said, \u201cHere, take a load off and have some coffee. Your eyes look tired; you shouldn\u2019t push yourself too hard<\/p>\n
Melissa looked at Phoebe with gratitude, feeling cared for and touched.<\/p>\n

However, Phoebe continued, \u201cThe doc says I\u2019m still on the mend I can\u2019t take these tonics. Only light food. You should take them back when you leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melissa was momentarily stummed, surprised at the suggestion. This\u2026 this doesn\u2019t fly, does it? I mean, you don\u2019t bring gifts<\/p>\n
to someone\u2019s place and then haul them back out. She felt Phocle was clearly not interested in her attempts to please.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal? Our families are tight; we don\u2019t need such formalities. Your presence is enough,\u201d Phoebe added indifferently<\/p>\n
Feeling a bit better. Melissa said. \u201cOh, right, was Morris here just now? I thought I saw him leaving\u201d<\/p>\n
Phoebe raised an eyebrow, saying, \u201cNo, enough, so you are seeing things.\u201d<\/p>\n
that busy bee doesn\u2019t have time to visit me. You must be overworked and not resting<\/p>\n
Melissa let out a soft laugh, thinking to herself, \u201cPerhaps I should relax and not push myself so hard; I\u2019ve been mistaken several times now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phoebe took another sip of her coffee, eyed Melissa, and said slowly, \u201cI heard your brother is set to marry the daughter from the Leach family\u2019s head\u2019s second marriage?\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, Phoebe, it\u2019s Shirley, Melissa replied earnestly.<\/p>\n
Phoebe frowned and said, \u201cShirley is not the young lady of the Leach family: she\u2019s just a stepdaughter. The true young lady of the Leach family is Claire\u2019s daughter, Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melissa scoffed, \u201cCherise may be the biological daughter, but growing up in a small town with her grandmother, she became an uneducated and vain gold\u2013digger. She\u2019s not fit to be called the young lady of the Leach family. Shirley is different; she\u2019s virtuous and kind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Have you met Cherise?\u201d Phoebe asked with a hint of hostility in her tone.<\/p>\n
Melissa shook her head, looking surprised. \u201cNope, but that\u2019s the word on the street!<\/p>\n
a dismissive snort, Phoebe retorted, \u201cHmph, gossip is a fearful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
