Chapter 74

Joseph was also surprised to encounter this interesting woman again. He gave a slight nod to greet Cherise.

Seeing this. Cherise nodded back softly, entered the elevator, and stood to Joseph's left.

As soon as she entered the elevator, the slight frown on her brow became more obvious.

She glanced sideways at Joseph's left hand. Then she took another look at Joseph, whose face was still expressionless, and raised an eyebrow. She spoke softly, "Sir, do you not need your left hand anymore?" Joseph was surprised to hear Cherise speaking nearby and turned to look at her.

Most girls would scream and run away at the sight of blood, especially since he was missing an arm. However, this girl's delicate face remained completely calm, unfazed.

"I'm already considered disabled, so losing another arm wouldn't matter," said Joseph casually.

Cherise sneered and said "Not really, besides, you only have an hour to save your left arm

As she finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the basement. As soon as the doors opened, Cherise walked out without looking back.

After Cherise left the elevator, Joseph's grim face showed a faint, mysterious smile.

Cherise left Uptown International and drove straight to Glenshire Gardens.

As soon as her car stopped, someone knocked on the car door. It was Jacob.

Cherise got out of the car. She spoke with a cool tone, "Did Mr. Leach remember he has a biological daughter today?"

Jacob's face darkened when he heard Cherise's sharp tone. He scolded, "Cherise, is this how you greet your father? I have something important to discuss with you today." Cherise let out a mocking laugh. "Oh?"

Jacob looked at Cherise's indifferent face and shook his head. He said, 'Never mind, just listen to what I have to say

"I don't care how you managed to get into Glenshire Gardens or who you know outside. Starting today, you'd better behave.

"I don't expect you to be skilled in arts like Shirley. All I ask is that you be sensible and obedient, and not cause trouble for the Leach family.

"You need to understand that the Leach family is not doing as well as it used to. If you cause trouble and affect the family, or jeopardize Shirley and Jeffrey's engagement, we would be finished." "Mr. Leach!" Jacob was cut off by Cherise before he could finish

Cherise laughed and said, "T've been in Betrico for less than a month since I arrived from Yasvissa, and this is only the second time I've seen you, right?"

Cherise contine

wahout any expression on her face, I don't member causing you any trouble either. Why do you

always make it stul like I've committed some unforgivable cripe every time we meet?"

Upon hearing this, Jacob's anger flared up. He said, "Cherise, is this how you speak to your father? I don't care what you've been like, but from now on, you must listen to me The day after tomorrow is Betrico University's anniversary celebration. I specifically had Shirley give you an invitation.

hoping you'll learn how-a real lady from a prestigious family should act.

"After the event, I'll introduce you to a businessperson who graduated from Betrico University. I hope you make the this opportunity."

After he finished talking, he turned and left without waiting for Cherise's response...

Cherise watched as Jacob's figure disappeared into the distance. Her hands at her sides slowly clenched into fists, a chilling look in her eyes that could make anyone shudder.

Once Jacob was fully out of sight, she glanced at the nearby bushes and said sharply, "Come out!"

Hugh, hiding in the bushes, was startled. "No way, I just sent the video to Mr. Chivers, and Ms. Leach already noticed me. I've messed up with Cherise twice today. If word gets out, I'll be a laughingstock. Leo was right; Ms. Leach is truly impressive." After hesitating for a long time, Hugh finally stepped out. "Ms. Leach, it's me, Hugh," he said, bowing his head like a child caught in trouble.

""Why is it you?" Cherise asked.

"Mr. Chivers went to Fresburg, and he was worried about leaving you on your own, so he asked me to stay and protect you," Hugh answered honestly. Cherise was puzzled, but when she heard that Morris had asked him to stay, she felt something begin to stir inside her, like a seed starting to sprout.
