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

Chapter 516 As soon as Cherise spoke, almost all the students from the Traditional Medicine Department at Betrico University started cheering.

They deeply appreciated their hard-earned professor and the new student who had just joined.

The group left the convention center together.

Hugh's bus was already waiting outside.

Just as almost everyone had boarded the bus, leaving only Cherise and Hank, they heard a familiar voice behind them. "Ms. Leach, Hank, congratulations to both of you." Cherise and Hank froze mid-step. They turned to look at each other before glancing behind them.

It was Stella, the swoman who had been sitting at the interpreter's desk earlier.

Seeing Stella, Cherise wasn't surprised, remembering how she had been staring at Hank during the competition. Cherise smiled and nodded. "Ms. Walton, hello. Good to see you again." Hank furrowed his brow, confused.

This woman again? The one who kept staring atback at Betrico Hospital. What's going on here?' he wondered.

Stella stepped forward with her signature bright smile. "Are you two busy? I'm really sorry to take a few minutes of your time. I was watching Hank compete earlier, and I was so impressed.

"I wanted to cover and introduce myself. It's great to see such talent cout of Clusia." She then pulled two small cards from her bag. "Ms. Leach, you may not know this, but I've been working in Hesperia and haven't been back much.

"Now that I'm back, I've lost touch with a lot of old friends, so I'm hosting a small party this Saturday afternoon to reconnect. Of course, I'd love to invite both you and Hank. I hope you'll consider coming." Cherise glanced at the cards in Stella's hand, raised an eyebrow, and then looked up. "Ms. Walton, you are so gracious. With such a personal invitation, you even followed us out here. It'd be rude not to attend." She took one of the cards from Stella's hand.

After Cherise took the card, she glanced at Hank, who was still looking confused, while Stella watched him intently too.

Hank, still clueless, asked, "What are you staring atfor? What party? I don't understand why I have to go" Cherise smiled slightly, feeling the sconfusion Hank had. She couldn't wait to see how Stella would handle this.

Stella smiled at Hank, maintaining a poised expression. "Well, to be honest, I'm part of the Walton family. My father and brother have always been someone who values talent. "Growing up in that environment, I've gotten into that habit too After seeing your performance today and considering your age, it's clear you're a rare and extraordinary talent." "Oh, I see," Hank mumbled, unsure of how to respond, offering a vague answer. Stella smiled again, this ta little shy. "Actually, there's another reason. You look a lot like someone I know. When I saw 1/3 [1] 3 Chapter 516 you, I felt an immediate sense of familiarity." Cherise, arms crossed, leaned against the side of the bus and quietly watched their exchange.

Hank, still bewildered, said, "Madam, I'm not kidding you. People have been tellingI look like someone lately. You're actually the seventh person to say that.

"Shave said I look like her uncle, others say I look like her dad and even her granddad... That's nothing unusual. But what's strange is that ssay I look like Arthur. Isn't that laughable? "Hey... Maybe I just have one of those ordinary faces. Who knows? Maybe my biological parents look just as plain. They must've..." At Hank's words, even Stella was taken aback.

She had indeed thought Hank resembled Arthur.

Hank shook his head, giving a cute smile. "Well, in that case, I won't go. It's probably not the right place for me. Thank you for the invitation, madam." Hank waved and boarded the bus.

Stella felt a little embarrassed. "Well... Ms. Leach, I truly hope you can cto my party. I've also invited Ms. Taylor and Jean. The more, the merrier." Cherise nodded. "Ms. Walton, don't worry. I've already said I'll come, so I will." Cherise decided that the gathering would take place at Ebb & Flow.

By the tthe bus arrived, Truman was already standing at the entrance, waiting. The past few days, he'd been worried about being followed by Lydia again, so after meeting with Leo at Morris's place, he had stayed by Leo's side at all times. Those who didn't know might have assumed there was something between them.

Cherise was bringing a large group. Truman was worried the crowd wouldn't be able to hear him, so he grabbed a small loudspeaker. "Hey, all the folks from Betrico University, look here! "First, congratulations on traditional medicine winning the championship! And thank you all for coming to our gathering here at Ebb & Flow." "We've got fruits and drinks ready inside, so please make yourselves at home. No need to be formal," Truman said warmly.

As Cherise cdown the stairs, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Truman and Leo before leading her students inside. It wasn't just Cherise who had noticed. Everyone seemed to be eyeing them.

"Leo, have you noticed how everyone's staring at us?" Truman asked, confused.

Leo gave him a side-eye and rolled his eyes. He seemed a little agitated. "Who wouldn't look Look at your hand! Can you stop holding onto me? If you keep doing that, I'm sure no one will dare follow you.

"But as for me... they're all getting the wrong idea. I want to go on dates with girls, not you! People probably N think we've got something going on. Let go. I need to go find Mrs. Chivers and the others." 2/8 111 < 13:28 Wed, Jan 8 G Chapter 517 D
