Chapter 63<\/p>\n
Back at the Leach residence after a close call, Cherise and Andy let out a breath they didn\u2019t know they were holding,<\/p>\n
In the vast expanse of Havenwood Estates, the recent drama had stayed under the radar, known only to those in the thick of it, thanks to the quick security response.<\/p>\n
Oliver\u2019s leg muscles, now more pliable after a few acupuncture sessions, allowed him to perform basic lifts with newfound<\/p>\n
case.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Leach, your medical skills are nothing short of a miracle. One or two more sessions and he\u2019ll be back to normal, right?\u201d Lionel said, his voice barely above a whisper but brimming with excitement.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and said, \u201cNo more acupuncture needed. Just take these pills, two a day, and you\u2019ll be mostly healed, Grandpa<\/p>\n
Oliver\u2019s joy was palpable, his eyes glistening. \u201cCherise, thank you so much!\u201d He looked at Cherise with gratitude and then turned to Lionel \u201cCould you give us a moment? I need to discuss something with Cherise.<\/p>\n
Lionel acknowledged and closed the door behind him as he left<\/p>\n
Once Lionel was gone, Oliver said, \u201cCherise, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.\u201d He could see the curiosity burning in her eyes when she first arrived.<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s usual timidity was replaced by a cold tone, and she asked, \u201cGrandpa, what do you know about the events leading up to my mother\u2019s death?\u201d<\/p>\n
Oliver was taken aback, not expecting Cherise to bring up such an old wound.<\/p>\n
He let out a soft sigh and said, \u201cYour mother was a shining star in the journalism and communication department at Broaniay University, and she was your father\u2019s junior. They fell in love at first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBack then, the Leach Group was more prosperous than it is now, and we didn\u2019t pay much attention to social status. They got married, and a year later, you were born.\u201d Oliver paused, his hands trembling slightly.<\/p>\n
He went on, \u201cYour mother had a strong career drive, and during those years, Astamia was constantly embroiled in war. No one wanted to be a war correspondent, but she volunteered.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that, she rarely came home, and the last time we heard from her was just a few days before your fifth birthday.\u201d Oliver\u2019s voice wavered.<\/p>\n
Cherise lowered her gaze and said indifferently. \u201cSo, you approved of Jacob marrying Mandy back then? I heard they were involved even before my mother passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this, Oliver burst into a fit of coughing. Cherise watched him quietly. After a moment, Oliver regained his composure.<\/p>\n
He said. \u201cThey got together after your mother\u2019s death. The Leach family was in a financial crisis, and I couldn\u2019t let the family fall apart. The Lewis family was willing to help financially, so I agreed to their union.\u201d<\/p>\n
The temperature around Cherise seemed to drop. \u201cSo, who\u2019s Shirley\u2019s old man anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShirley\u2019s father a different guy, and to be honest, we\u2019re not exactly sure who he is.\u201d Oliver\u2019s voice wavered, and his emotions were clearly all over the place.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at Oliver\u2019s tightly clenched fists, narrowed her eyes, and said, \u201cGrandpa, I won\u2019t disturb you anymore today You should rest!\u201d She turned to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherisel\u2018 Oliver called out to her. Cherise stopped with her back to Oliver.<\/p>\n
Chapter 63<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you hate me?\u201d Oliver asked, his voice quivering.<\/p>\n
Cherise continued walking to the door and said, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Then she opened the door and left. Oliver was left alone in his study, letting out a heavy sigh.<\/p>\n
Evelyn and Andy were both out working and not at home. As soon as Cherise stepped out of the west wing of the Leach Manor, she made a phone call.<\/p>\n
Crow answered almost immediately on the other end, \u201cHey, boss you finally remembered me. It\u2019s been a whole 60 days since you last called\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing his voice, Cherise said sternly. \u201cCrow, be serious. This is important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow immediately became serious on the phone. \u201cGo ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRun a genetic comparison between Shirley\u2019s and Jacob\u2019s gene banks right away,\u201d Cherise instructed.<\/p>\n
Puzzled, Crow asked, \u201cBoss, are you doubting that\u2026<\/p>\n
Cherise coldly replied, \u201cLet\u2019s see what the results say. She hung up the phone, looked back at the Leach residence, and whispered, \u201cGrandpa, I hope you won\u2019t disappoint me.\u201d<\/p>\n
