Today was the motivational meeting for all the faculty and staff of Betrico University before the new semester, and Cherise also came to participate.
At that moment, the meeting had just ended. Trent saw her, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, so he stopped her, thinking of taking her to his office.
Cherise hadn’t seen him for a long time either. When she saw him, she said, “Hi, Trent, I just saw you speaking on stage. Just in time, I have something to ask you. How long has it been? Why do I feel like your back is much more hunched?” Hearing this, Trent walked in front, and Cherise followed behind him. He said, “I also have something to ask you.
“I slipped and fell after a shower the other day. I didn’t tell you because you’re busy and pregnant.
“I just asked Zander to rub some medicated oil on me. It should be fine. I’m old anyway, and I’m busy, so I didn’t care about
it.”
Hearing this, Cherise felt a little guilty. Recently, she had been busy and had fewer opportunities to contact these elders.
She walked two steps forward and patted Trent on the shoulder. “What are you thinking? If you have anything, you must tell me immediately.”
“I have found Claire and Carson, but
you are still my
family.
“Didn’t I tell Zander to let me know immediately if you need anything? How could he…”
Trent was happy to hear Cherise say this. “I know our little Cherise, who we watched grow up, is the best. Zander was going to tell you, but I stopped him.”
“It’s okay, this won’t happen again. I’ll come to you if I lose a single hair in the future.” He laughed out loud.
Cherise felt a little better after hearing him say that.
A moment later, in Trent’s office.
Cherise pressed a few acupuncture points for him and asked, “What’s up? Is there anything you want to tell me?”
Trent’s expression turned serious. He nodded, thought for a moment, and said slowly, “You must have heard about the reshuffle next month.
“As you know, Marlon and I are representatives of the cultural industry, and each of us has a significant number of votes.” Cherise had known them for a long time, so she naturally knew. She nodded in response.
Seeing Cherise’s reaction, Trent seemed to become more and more depressed.
Seeing this, Cherise said, “Did you encounter any problems? What did I just tell you, Trent? If you don’t tell me, I won’t talk
to you in the future.
Trent sighed and said, “The night before last, many of us received a request from the Walton family. Well, it was more of a coercion than a request.
“They forced us to support Tristan’s rise to power in next month’s reshuffle. In other words, it was a threat.”

Cherise frowned upon hearing this. She had heard a little about it from Morris, but she didn’t expect it to happen to Trent and the others. “How did the Walton family threaten you?”
Trent thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, “I didn’t know that such a thing could happen in this peaceful and prosperous era,
“But I feel that I have to tell you because of Morris’s identity and his relationship with Arthur. I’m afraid that he will be the next victim, and you will be implicated as well.”
Cherise felt more and more uneasy as she listened. “Tell me quickly.”
“My son and daughter–in–law, Zander’s parents, work in the compound. Their positions are neither too high nor too low.
“The Walton family threatened me that if I didn’t support Tristan, they would slowly attack their jobs and even their lives without anyone knowing.
“They said that as their elder, I should persuade my son and daughter–in–law not to be their enemies. I didn’t expect to feel so powerless for the first time.
“My wife died early, and this is my only son. Seeing their family living a peaceful and happy life, it’s really not easy to encounter such a thing.”
Hearing this, Cherise’s original plain eyes gradually turned scarlet.
She had never met Zander’s father, but the so elegant and generous.
raised by Trent must be outstanding. She had met his mother, who was
At the Jarrett residence, when she was slandered during the conflict with the Quinton family, his mother was the first one who dared to stand up and help her out. Thinking of this, Cherise clenched her palms tightly together.
In her impression, Trent should be cheerful, optimistic, and positive. She didn’t expect that in his seventies, he would encounter such a sad and infuriating thing.
From what Trent said, it seemed that more than just him got implicated in this matter. “So, Grandpa Marlon also…”
Trent nodded. “Marlon’s family, no one works at the residence, but it is said that their family business is not going well either.
“He should have the same intention as me, thinking that you are pregnant and can’t be bothered, so he asked everyone in the family to keep silent, including Xenia.”
“Okay.” A cold voice came from Cherise’s chest. “I understand.”
As soon as the words “I understand” came out of Cherise’s mouth, Trent, who knew her well, knew what it represented.
Seeing that she was about to get up and go out, he quickly called out to her from behind, “Cherise, your own safety is the priority.
“If it’s not that easy, then so be it. I’d rather die than live a lie.”
Cherise paused at those words, and after a few seconds, she turned calmly, her face solemn. “The people I care about must live well for me.
“Don’t worry, Zander’s parents… Not just Zander’s parents, these bad days will soon pass. It will be fine. I promise.”
Cherise left Trent’s office and immediately picked up her phone to call Xenia.
The call was answered quickly, and the voice on the other end was as relaxed and cheerful as ever. “Hello, Cherise! Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you miss me?”

“I might be a little busy these days, but I promise to make time for you after this period.” Then, as if she had something urgent to attend to, she hastily added a few more words and said she had to hang up.
Cherise hung up the phone, her eyes fixed ahead, devoid of emotion. A few seconds later, she dialed another number.
“Hello, Cherise? Why did you call me all of a sudden? I’m on my way to the airport and will be back in Clusia in about five hours.” A man answered the phone.
It was Jason on the other end of the line.
Hearing Jason’s voice, Cherise said, “Jason, well, Xenia’s family needs your help.
“Please spare no effort and mobilize all the industrial and financial chains of GlobalVision Group to fully support Xenia’s family in getting through this difficult time.”
