Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 438

With her back to the source of the voice, Cherise looked slightly displeased and confused.

Her brows knitted together, as she couldn't tell who it was just from the voice.

Besides, it was obvious that the voice had been altered using a voice changer.

After checking Mary's condition, she slowly turned around.

All she saw was a man dressed entirely in black standing next to the business vehicle she had seen earlier.

He was covered head to toe, including his face, neck, and hands, exposing nothing.

He was also wearing a black mask.

His entire outfit was so dark that it seemed he could merge with the night.

This raised a question in Cherise's mind, leading her to ask, "Who are you? Or should | say, how do you know

me?"

The man in black chuckled, "Your good days are almost over, so there's no point in asking who | am, right?

"By the tyour nappeared among us, you weren't even in Betrico yet.

"still, | admire your abilities. At such a young age, you're incredibly skilled and attractive, making many people

envious.

"But unfortunately, beauty comes with a price, and you've crossed too many people."

Cherise let out a cold laugh after hearing this. She thought, ‘Not in Betrico? Then it must be Yasvissa, and a

hitman hired by Shirley." After sorting through her thoughts, she said, "Oh? So shady, huh? "So, you are indeed

after me, and Mary is merely a lure.

"Am | really in too many people's way? Who?

"If I'm not mistaken, you're one of Ghost Hand's men.

"Or more precisely, you're the leader of Ghost Hand.

"Because the leader of Ghost Hand never reveals their true face.

Saying this, she gave him a playful look, as if her gaze could pierce holes through his black clothes.

It seemed that the man in black becnoticeably uneasy when he heard the words "Ghost Hand."

But it was only for a fleeting moment.

The man who had just spoken began laughing at Cherise and Mary. "Hahaha, interesting, very interesting.

"| can't believe someone who knows my identity can stand so calmly in front of me.

"It's really a pity; since you know, you can't stay in this world any longer.

"Someone, take them away; we can't stay here for long."

Hearing this, Cherise glanced at Mary beside her and gently asked, "Grandma Mary, are you okay?" Mary

nodded, then shook her head.

The effects of the pill weren't immediate; it might take another fifteen minutes to work.

They had quite a few people. If Mary wasn't here and it was just her, taking a risky gamble might not be such a

big deal.

But now she had to take care of Mary, which greatly hindered her movements.

Leaving Mary aside made it easy for someone to take advantage. Besides, that whiff of knockout gas earlier

cfrom the five people she had pricked with needles.

At the moment of their death, the gas was released, and she inhaled sof it.

Waiting fifteen minutes for the pill to take effect seemed unrealistic.

On top of that, she had no idea how skilled Ghost Hand, their leader, might be, so taking a chance on a fight

seemed unlikely.

Since it was Ghost Hand, she thought she might as well meet them. After thinking for a bit, she said to them,

"Alright, | can go with you."

Ghost Hand chuckled again, "You're really straightforward. But before we go, there's still something | want from

you."

He moved closer to Cherise as he spoke.

At that moment, Cherise began to feel the knockout gas and the pill fighting inside her, making her mind go

blank for an instant

It was so intense that when Ghost Hand quickly yanked the necklace off her neck, she couldn't even react.

"You..." She exclaimed as she finally realized what had happened, talking to Ghost Hand.

Ghost Hand chuckled from behind his black mask. "This necklace looks pretty exquisite. If I'm not mistaken,

Morris gave it, to you, right?

"That's truly enviable."

Cherise maintained a calm exterior, but inside, she was reassessing the person in front of her. His speed when

grabbing the necklace was impressive, maybe on par with the skills she and Morris had. Besides, Cherise

thought, 'How did he know this special necklace is a gift from Morris to me?"

Morris mentioned that the necklace was custom-made, and only people from the Dark Web Division knew about

it. Cherise thought, 'Could it be...?"

So it was clear that taking action now was really disadvantageous for her.

But, by the tMorris got here, this necklace might have already been moved by the members of Ghost Hand,

which would be terrible. Everything Cherise thought was exactly right.

Fifteen minutes after she and Mary were taken, Morris' team finally got there.

Morris looked at the software tracking the necklace's location-it clearly showed the place. Morris thought, 'What

on earth is going on?’

A bad feeling started spreading through his whole body, and his hands unknowingly began to feel a bit numb.

He shouted out, "Tunt on all the outdoor lights and search this area thoroughly. Let's see if there's any clue we

missed."

Upon hearing the command, all his people immediately sprang into action.

Morris felt the sway; he was more anxious than anyone else because one of the missing was the woman he

loved dearly, and the other was his grandmother. Especially Cherise, she was the love of his life. Not knowing

where she was felt more suffocating than not being able to breathe himself.

"Mr. Chivers, there's something here." Leo shouted, picking up a small item and quickly running over to Morris.
