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

My Billionaire Family 324

Chapter 324

Cherise bent down and lifted the floorboard. Underneath, she found several items that looked like letters. She picked up one letter and unfolded it. As she read, a smile slowly spread across her face. The letter read: [A new male teacher has arrived. He's quite handsome, like one of those movie stars. If I weren't a widow with a daughter, I'd have confessed to him!]

The date was thirty years ago, and it was signed Amelia.

The handwriting was unmistakably her grandmother's.

At that time, Cherise's mother was still a child, and Cherise had not yet been born.

Cherise smiled and reached for the second letter.

[Luckily, I didn't confess to the new teacher. Turns out, he's with the female teacher from the class next door. She has a loud voice and a petty nature.

[She treats the students unfairly and secretly accepts bribes from parents. Those who end up together are probably drawn to each other because of similar qualities, so I should count myself fortunate. [A widow with a daughter is fine. I'm not penniless, and I don't have to answer to anyone. Life is free and easy!)

Once again, the date was from thirty years ago, and the signature was Amelia.

Cherise chuckled as she read the letters. No wonder they had been hidden so carefully under the floorboard. They seemed like nothing more than casual thoughts her grandmother had written during moments of rest.

Just as she had remembered, her grandmother had always been optimistic, always looking at the bright side of life. Since her grandmother had kept them here, it only made sense to return the letters to their original hiding place. Cherise carefully folded the letters and placed them back under the floorboard.

No wonder she hadn't found them when she first arrived-the letters had been so well-hidden, pressed tightly under a large

chest.

Once everything was back in place, Cherise picked up the floorboard and was about to put it back.
