Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks

Chapter 187

At this moment, not only were Jacob and those on stage with him astounder, but everyone present began to find this situation unbelievable.

If what Cherise said was true, then Mandy was truly vicious.

"Cherise, don't make baseless accusations without evidence. Perhaps we should go home and discuss this further, Jacob said, still thinking about the family's interests. Cherise ignored his words entirely and turned to Roy. "Mr. Lambert, please clarify everything

Mandy was at a complete loss, desperate to stop Roy from speaking out.

But she had never accounted for Cherise's knowledge of acupressure techniques,

With a motion from afar, both Mandy and Shirley found themselves immobilized, just like Felix.

"Don't worry. You'll get yetir chance to speak once Mr. Lambert mishes, Cherise said calmly, a faint smile on her lips.

Roy looked at Shirley and Mandy with disappointment before truthfully revealing everything.

When he revealed that Mandy and Felix had forced him into a private nursing facility and subjected him to three years of torment, a collective gasp filled the room. But that wasn't even the most chilling part.

A recording was played from a chip Cherise had previously removed from Roy's heel. The voices of Mandy and Felix were unmistakably clear.

In the recording, Mandy thanked Felix for Barack's death and Sean's broken leg, which led to Jacob securing the inheritance rights.

Then Felix responded by telling her there was no need to thank him and even added that, if she wished, he would take Oliver's life for her.

As the recording ended, the place erupted into chaos.

Andy could no longer hold back and rushed onto the stage. "Mandy! Felix! So it was you who killed my father and crippled my uncle! You'll get what you deserve!" Oliver slumped to the ground, looking shockingly aged and fra

Jacob staggered back several steps, shaking his head in disbelief, muttering, "Impossible... How could this be..?

With their acupuncture points still blocked, Mandy, Felix, and Shirley could only glare at Cherise, eyes wide with fury.

"Cherise, is this... true?" Jacob asked, struggling to believe it.

"Ask her yourself!" Cherise replied, walking over to Mandy and pressing a finger on her.

The moment the point was released, Mandy spoke up, refusing to admit guilt. "Honey, please believe me! Cherise is framing

Jacob was truly puzzled. He began to suspect that Mandy was even more dangerous than he had imagined-the harm inflicted his own siblings had come from his own wife. цроп

"Doesn't your

own

husband know if you're being framed?" Cherie said icily, not even looking at Mandy.

Chapter 187

Mandy rose to her feet in disarray, pointing angrily at Cherise. Cherise, I've been nothing ben kind to you. There's been any bad blood between us. Why do you keep falsely accusing me and trying to ruin mer Cherise gave a mocking laugh, glaring at Mandy with intense hatred.

Then she said,

"No bad blood? Mandy, was it not your doing that my mother, Claire, died in Astamia**

Mandy burst into laughter upon hearing this. So many years had passed, and since Glory had destroyed the recording, she thought she could deny everything.

She said, "Cherise, just how much do you hate me? Where's your proof? Without it, you shouldn't be making such

accusations.

Today is my daughter's engagement party. If you don't have proof, I swear you won't walk away from this."

"I will show you the proof," Cherise said, lifting her head.

Within seconds, the audio clip restored by Morris played loudly from the speakers in the banquet hall.

When Claire's voice came through, Jacob finally felt regret.

He realized hy was all his fault: his first wife's death, his siblings' death and suffering, and now, even his daughter was slipping further away from him.

He felt a hate-such an overwhelming hate for himself-that he had never known.

Oliver couldn't bear it and fainted on the spot.

At Trent's table, Marlon, Phoebe, and Xenia looked at the lone, fragile figure on stage with deep sympathy and let out heavy sighs.

Mandy hadn't expected Cherise to have a recording from all those years ago, and she knew she was finished. She glanced at Felix, seeking his help. Cherise swiftly moved over to Felix's side, even in high heels, and released his acupoint.

Following her gaze, Cherise swiftly moved

As soon as Felix regained his mobility, he rushed over to shield Mandy, pulling out a handgun and firing a shot into the ceiling

In the next instant, a group of men in black stormed into the banquet hall.

The guests in the entire banquet hall screamed in terror, running in all directions.

Morris stood up and told Truman beside him, "Make sure my grandmother and everyone else are safe

With that, he rushed onto the stage and reached Cherise's side in no

1. me. Cherise, I'm here.

Cherise gave a faint smile.

Seeing that his people were all in place, Felix smirked maliciously, pointed at Cherise, and ordered, ignoring the fact that Morris was by her side. "Seize her!"

But before Felix men could act, a team of uniformed, well-trained men crashed through the windows and restrained Felix and his gang.

Everyone looked confused, unable to comprehend what was happening.

A middle-aged man with a slight bald spot, dressed in uniform, stepped onto the stage and nodded lightly toward Morris.

He then approached Felix Relix Lewis, you are under arrest for running illegal casinos, assaulting underage girls, and drug manufacturing and trafficking. We have the evidence. Take him away!" "Bullshit! Where's your proof?" Felix shouted, laughing arrogantly. "How dare you arrest me? Aren't you afraid of losing your job

Ignoring his outburst, the middle-aged man and his team quickly escorted Felix away.

"Felix! Why are you arresting my brother?" Mandy shouted in panic as Felix was taken out.

Before she could react, another group of officers entered the hall and made their way to the center of the stage.

Someone declared. "Mandy Leach, you are under arrest for murder. Please come with us.

"And you, Shirley Leach, are wanted in connection with a murder-for-hire plot in Yasvissa from five months ago. Please cooperate and come with us."

With her acupoint still locked, Shirley was completely devastated. She couldn't speak to defend herself and kept looking around desperately for someone to help.

Meanwhile, Mandy frantically pleaded, Jacob! Jacob! Jeffrey! Mr Chambers! Help us, please!

"Help Shirley! I'll confess-I ordered all the killings! Just arrest me, but please spare Shirley-she's still young

But no one responded to her cries; everyone remained unmoved.
