Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks

It was Kitten, who had been hiding behind the bookshelf all along.

His sudden appearance indeed startled everyone in front of him.

They'd never thought that in a normal person's home, there would be such a massive creature, let alone a beast known for its ferocity in the animal kingdom.

Including Tristan, everyone took several steps back.

They feared that they might accidentally become its prey.

"Wh-where did this tiger come from?" Tristan had never noticed a tiger on the lake island when he came before, nor hard his informants mentioned that there was such a creature here. Seeing it now, he was genuinely intimidated.

Cherise, seeing Kitten come out, stood up and gently patted its head. "Good boy, Kitten. You're the best! Stay by Master's side. Later, when Dr. Garcia makes me some taro balls in fresh milk, I'll share a big bowl with you

Hearing Cherise's words, Kitten seemed very pleased and moved over to Carson's side, curling up into a ball and closing its eyes peacefully.

Seeing it lie back down without any more aggressive behavior, Tristan's nerves eased a bit.

His own skills were top-notch, but anyone would be cautious when encountering such a wild animal without knowing its capabilities.

Seeing that Tristan still had no intention of backing down, Cherise took a few steps forward this time, almost closing the distance to just four or five steps between them.

The expressions in both Tristan's and Cherise's eyes were intense.

Carson, observing Cherise's light and agile posture, decided to let her handle it.

After all, he was still there to back her up.

Cherise stared at Tristan with a cold, piercing gaze. "I used to think that a man in your position would at least lead by example and be a person of virtue. But it turns out, you're far from being an upright gentleman.

"Look at us here. My master has long lost the use of his legs, and I'm pregnant. In short, we're the epitome of the weak and vulnerable.

"Now, imagine if the world knew that you, the esteemed Mr. Walton, treated the weak and vulnerable like this. What would people think of you? That you're undeserving of your position? Or that you bully the weak?

"You want to take my Master away just to force him to pave the way for you, or to use him to make Arthur back down. This act is already unforgivable.

"If you insist on going through with this, then don't blame me for being rude."

As Cherise spoke, Tristan kept his eyes on her. She was indeed a remarkable woman. “What a sharp tongue and logical mind. Did you use the same tactics to lure my daughter, Lydia, away?"

Mentioning Lydia, Cherise shook her head. "No, your daughter was driven away by your own heartlessness. I was just fortunate enough to welcome a talented individual. Since others didn't cherish her, I did. It's not about luring."

Tristan knew Cherise's words were aimed at him, and his face turned a bit sour.

He had said a lot, but he never forgot the purpose of coming here today.

Carson was a must-have for him. If he couldn't use him for his own benefit, he would destroy Carson who had assisted Arthur for so many years.

He stayed focused, glanced at the tiger on the ground that was currently still, and blew a whistle.

Now, not only did the same people appear in the study, but many more poured in And they were all armed with deadly weapons.

Seeing this scene, Carson wasn't panicked at all. It was just that Cherise was here.

If she hadn't been pregnant, it would have been fine, but now it was different. However, he still underestimated Cherise's agility.

Kitten, lying beside Carson, lifted its head again, looking quite formidable.

Carson knew it was about to get angry and gently patted it a couple of times, signaling that it didn't need to worry and that it probably wouldn't have to intervene today.

These gentle pats made it leisurely lick its paw before burying its intimidating tiger head back down.

Seeing that his men were in place, Tristan looked at Cherise. "You're right, you're pregnant, and I won't

touch you for now. But you net

stop me! Weapons are blind; it

would be a pity if someone got hurt! Now, take Mr. Dorian Finch back!"

With that, some of the men aimed their weapons at Kitten, some at Cherise, and the rest all moved towards Carson.

Almost everyone thought that in this study, as long as they controlled the tiger, dealing with the pregnant woman and the disabled man would be a piece of cake.noveldrama

However, what they never expected was that as they advanced, Cherise and Carson had already exchanged a quick glance and moved in unison with perfect coordination.

Carson calmly waved his hand over the chessboard, and all the pieces on it flew out.

These pieces had a strong purpose, hitting the hands of the armed men one by

one.

The men, who thought Carson hadn't used much force, were actually in pain, their bodies going limp. They groaned and dropped the weapons they had been holding tightly.

Upon closer inspection, the 112 pieces that Carson had flicked out were all white.

The chessboard, which had previously had a mix of black and white pieces, now only had the 113 black ones left.

Tristan was stunned for a moment. He had known about Carson's abilities when he was learning from him, and he was indeed very strong.

But he had no idea that his skills were so extraordinary.

If he hadn't betrayed Carson back then, he might be like this now. It seemed that

he had miscalculated once again.

While he was pondering, Cherise took advantage of his distraction and quickly moved behind him, tapping his vital points twice.

This was the first time Cherise and Carson had worked together, yet they had a high level of coordination, not giving the enemy a chance to react.

Tristan's eyes widened in disbelief. It turned out that he had underestimated not only Carson but also Cherise.

Cherise grabbed his vital point. "Mr. Walton, your life is now in my hands. Order your men to withdraw, or I won't hesitate to act."

"Don't you dare! Do you know who am I? Taking my life won't just affect you; even your husband, Morris, will face consequences!"

Cherise let out a cold snort. "Why not! If you're undeserving of your position,

eliminating you would be doing the world a favor!"

Tristan found it amusing and laughed out loud, "Undeserving of my position? Ha-

ha, what a joke! I've done just as much as Arthur, and my reputation is no less

than his.

"There are plenty of people who admire me, on the contrary, does Arthur have that? Many of those who supported him back then were just doing it for Mr. Dorian Finch's sake. If I were in his position would do a better job!"

After hearing this, even Carson, who was sipping coffee, raised his eyes and let

out an "Hmph."

After putting down his cup, he spoke leisurely, “Tristan, appearances can be deceiving! What you have is already more than enough. Your greatest mistake is not being satisfied.

"Not cherishing your own family and repeatedly using them for your own gain is your flaw. Today you exploit your family, your position, your privileges; what about tomorrow?

"Ambition is fine, but it must not exceed the bounds of morality. Once

it does it becomes treason. Stop now and go to Arthur. Considering your past, he might leave you a way out."
