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

Chapter 492

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Cherise spoke slowly and calmly. "Who said it's settled? Being criticized so much and then letting it go wouldn't be fair to us, would it?"

Lucia felt awkward. "But... Ms. Jarrett, who brought you here, didn't say anything. Why are you still holding on to this?"

"Who's really holding onto this? Cherise's expression suddenly darkened, her tone serious as she addressed her.

Stella, noticing the sudden shift in atmosphere, stepped forward. "Cherise, right? I wasn't sure what happened earlier in the fitting room, but if Lucia has misunderstood you, I'll apologize on her behalf. "Maybe, for Jean's sake, we can let this go. She is the wife of the diplomat from Hesperia to Clusia."

Cherise said nothing, simply staring at Stella.
