Chapter 62<\/p>\n
Morris planned to head to Chivers Group in Cherise\u2019s Porsche Panamera, but he had other ideas, detouring to take care of some business, so they ended up rolling up to the swanky gates of Havenwood Estates<\/p>\n
As Morris stepped out, he spotted Leo\u2019s car across the street, its engine purring. He leaned in through Cherise\u2019s window, \u201cStay safe on the road,\u201d he told her and sent her off.<\/p>\n
Inside his car, Leo had been baffled by Morris\u2019s text half an hour ago, calling for a meetup at Havenwood Estates. But when he saw Morris exit Cherise\u2019s car, the pieces fell into place.<\/p>\n
Watching Morris stroll across the street. Leo muttered. \u201cThis guy\u2019s got guts<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cherise cruised deeper into Havenwood Estates, where the daytime was usually as quiet as a library.<\/p>\n
Rounding a bend, a figure suddenly bolted into her path. Cherise\u2019s brow furrowed, her reflexes lightning\u2013fast, and she slammed on the brakes. The car screeched to a halt, millimeters from the intruder.<\/p>\n
wicked Cherise, as calm as can be, sat in the car with her hands on the wheel. As she recognized the person in front of her, a wich grin spread across her face. After a moment, she nonchalantly opened the door and stepped out.<\/p>\n
Blocking her way was Layla, the woman she\u2019d clashed with at the dealership just two days ago.<\/p>\n
In those short two days, Layla, once the picture of high society, had fallen apart. The fillers in her face, now unaffordable to maintain, had turned lumpy and grotesque. Her legs were like jelly from nearly getting hit by Cherise\u2019s car, and she couldn\u2019t<\/p>\n
As Cherise approached, Layla snapped out of her daze and screamed, \u201cCherise, you bitch! It\u2019s all your fault. I just insulted you, and now I\u2019m facing a court summons. I\u2019m not going to jail. As a Betrico University student, my life can\u2019t end like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tell the rich old man behind you to back off. We\u2019re about to go broke,\u201d she demanded.<\/p>\n
Cherise arched an eyebrow, thinking, \u2018Bankruptcy? I just messed with the Zamora family\u2019s stocks a bit, it shouldn\u2019t have led to bankruptcy. Could Dora have done it? No way. She wouldn\u2019t dare without my say\u2013so. So, it must be Morris<\/p>\n
\u201cLayla, I\u2019ll take the blame for the court summons. I did mess with your family\u2019s stock value, but I didn\u2019t bankrupt you. You\u2019d do better figuring out who did this instead of blocking my way. Cherise said, turning to get back in her car.<\/p>\n
Before she could, Layla pulled a dagger and yelled, \u201cCherise, you miserable witch! You\u2019ve ruined my family, and now you\u2019re forcing my hand. I\u2019ll end you.\u201d She lunged at Cherise with the dagger.<\/p>\n
Hearing the charge, Cherise stayed as detached and composed as ever. As she was about to pivot and land a sidekick on Layla, Andy sprinted over and snatched the dagger from Layla. He shielded Cherise and asked, \u201cCherise, are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise shook her head and replied, \u201cI\u2019m fine. How about you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d Andy said, as the two security guards he\u2019d brought with him swiftly apprehended Layla<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me go! Let me go! I\u2019ll kill her! Cherise, you\u2019ll pay for this? Layla screamed at Cherise as she was hauled away.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity, take her away and get her to the police station,\u201d Andy instructed the guards.,<\/p>\n
The guards complied, dragging Layla off. Her curses faded as she was taken away.<\/p>\n
Andy looked at Cherise with concern and said, \u201cNo way, Cherise From now on, I\u2019ll be your driver. It\u2019s too dangerous.\u201d Cherise looked at An<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-87","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/87","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
