My Billionaire Family 182

Chapter 182

When Shirley saw Morris standing beside Cherise, she couldn't help but feel anxions.

She thought. Whatever their relationship is, if Morris stays by Cherise's side, my plan will fall apart. I need to replace a way sex get Cherise alone! Only after Cherise and Morris walked into the hotel lobby did those people snap out of their daze.

Henry

hurried forward to greet them. "Mr. Chivers, welcome! And thank you for coming

The others also stepped forward to greet Morris.

To them. Morris was different from Felix who had just gone in.

Although Felix was also enigmatic, his power didn't rival Morris

Morris's enterprises were mostly legitimate.

He didn't need to network-he was a natural-born leader. He just needed to stand there, and people would come up to flatter him.

In contrast. Felix's situation was completely different.

Morris gave Henry a polite nod, then glanced at Cherise, and sad tenderly, "Shall we go in?"

Just as he finished, Henry took the lead, eager to guide them.

However, before they could take a step, Shirley blocked their path and said, "Cherise, we are sisters. Could you stay at moment and help me with something?" Cherise slightly raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What do you need my help with?"

Shirley, with a look of feigned anxiety, pleaded, "Most of the guests have arrived, and I need to change into a different gown for the event.

"My friends are already seated, and Mom and the others will be busy entertaining everyone inside. There's available-I'm begging you."

Cherise smiled and patted Morris's hand. 'Go on inside without me."

Then, she gave him a wink that no one could see.

Morris, feeling a bit helpless, touched the necklace still hanging from her neck. "Are you sure?"

Amused, Cherise nodded and said, "Just go inside."

Those around them couldn't

s no one else

help but feel a mix of emotions at their closeness-jealousy, displeasure, resentment.

After Henry led Morris into the banquet hall, Mandy, who had been fuming, put on a caring expression and approached.

Cherise.

She said, "Cherise, may I ask... what's your relationship with Mr. Chivers? You two seem-* Before she could finish, Cherise cut her off. "Our relationship? Didn't your husband tell you?* She cast a sidelong glance at Jacob, who awkwardly avoided her gaze. 08:28 Mon, Dec 9

Chapter 182

Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what Jacob had to do with this.

As Jacob rentained silent, Cherise gave a cold smile and said, "Ixactly what

"Really? Cherise, are you not kidding?" Although the truth was right in front of her, Shirley didn't want to believe it.

Jealousy seemed to burn within her.

Beside her, Melissa felt the same, if not more.

Cherise gestured toward the banquet hall and said coolly, "If you don't believe it, go ask Morris yourself."

Of course, none of them dared to ask Morris, but they still found it hard to accept what they'd seen.

They were merely fooling themselves.

"Let's go." Cherise said, glancing at Shirley, who was standing there in a daze. "Weren't you asking for my help? If we don't hurry. I'm going in to replace my boyfriend."

With the guests all settled in, it was time for the ceremony to begin as soon as Shirley had changed into her dress.

Hearing this, Shirley led Cherise to the dressing room, giving Mandy a quick nod on the way in.

Mandy instantly understood and responded with a slight smile.

When Shirley went to change clothes, everyone except Mandy quickly returned to the banquet hall to entertain the guests.

As soon as Morris entered the banquet hall, he attracted the attention of many people.

Some felt tempted to approach him and build rapport, but they held back, keeping the thought to themselves.

Henry tried to lead Morris to the host's table, but Morris refused and instead went straight to the table where Truman was seated, taking a seat there casually.

Once seated, he sent a text to Cherise and then noticed Felix walking toward him.

Everyone's gaze followed Felix as he walked over.

Grinning from ear to ear, Felix said, "Mr. Chivers, it's been a long time.

He raised his glass, intending to clink it with Morris's.

Morris remained seated, responding coldly, "Is that so? I don't recall us meeting before."

"You must have simply forgotten, Felix remarked, hiding his irritation but making a mental note of Morris's attitude.

He thought, 'Everyone I meet usually goes out of their way to flatter me. Morris may be arrogant now, but once I expand my reach, we'll see who truly holds power in this city. SEND GIFT
