My Billionaire Family 37 Chapter 37 As the room considered the situation, Jemma interjected. "Cherie, it seems you have another love interest.

Jeffrey and Shirley are clearly destined for each other, and your mother and I arranged this engagement without considering your feelings. Shirley is both beautiful and kind, and our Chambers family- Cherise stepped in, cutting through the conversation with a firm Matement. "Let's end the engagement, she announced.

Jemma's jaw dropped. "What?" she stammered, completely caught off guard.

Cherise affirmed with a steady nod. "I've decided to call it quits on the engagement." Jemma was puzzled, having expected Cherise to make an attempt to extract sfinancial benefit from the situation.

Jeffrey, who had been listening, frowned in confusion. He couldn't fathom why Cherise would be the one to end things. As around. the Chambers heir, he was used to women trying to win his favor, not the other way Shirley, however, felt a qtiet thrill at the news. But seeing Jeffrey still staring at Cherise, she nudged him and put on a pained his attention back to expression. "Jeffrey, my injury's really hurting again. I could have a bone injury," she said, trying to draw. her.

Jeffrey pushed aside his distractions and embraced Shirley, Shirley is the clear choice-gifted, stunning, and socially prominent. While Cherise is attractive, she lacks sophistication and the social status Shirley possesses. Shirley is definitely the better match for me, he thought to himself.

Holding Shirley close, Jeffrey comforted her. "There, there, Shirley. I'll make sure you don't hurt anymore." Shirley's face glowed with the confidence that Jeffrey loved her more than anything.

Mandy spoke lightly, but there was a nervous edge to her voice. "Cherise, this must be really tough. But without proof, people might start talking about both the Leach and Chambers families in a bad way," she said, hinting that Cherise might have second thoughts later. Jemma, getting back to her calm self, chimed in, 'Cherise, let's put this in writing. It'll be a safeguard for us both." Mandy, eager to move things along, quickly added, "Someone, grab a pen and paper, quick!" But Cherise was already a step ahead. She pulled out two sheets of paper and a red ink pad from her purse. "I've got this covered," she said, her voice steady.

Yves arched an eyebrow, thinking to himself, 'Cherise seems serious about ending the engagement. It's true, Jeffrey isn't the right fit for her Cherise picked up the pen, signed the agreement, and then stamped it, pushing the papers towards Jemma. Jemma, without hesitation, signed and stamped her copy, handing one back to Cherise with a relieved grin.

Mandy and Shirley were almost bursting with excitement, ready to celebrate. Jeffrey, on the other hand, felt an odd twinge of discomfort.

Cherise snapped a photo of the document and sent it off to Dora before turning to Oliver. "Grandpa, could you notarize this, please?" she asked, holding out the papers Oliver gave a firm nod. "Of course," he replied, taking the document seriously.

Cherise reviewed the document, which stated, "1. Cherise Leach daughter of Claire Garcia, was subject to a marriage agreement between Claire and Jemma Chambers from Broania University twenty years ago. Chapter 37 "I did not consent then, and I have no affection for Jeffrey, Jemma's son, now. Thus, I am ending this engagement to free us to pursue our own happiness, Signed, Cherise and Jemma." Oliver aflirmed, "I, Oliver Leach, confirm this document, nullifying the engagement between Cherise and Jeffrey. It will he officially announced at Shirley and Jeffrey's engagement party resolve any misunderstandings about the family pact." The room seemed to deflate as everyone exhaled in unison. The document had its skepties, but the bottom line was that the matter was put to bed.

Shirley, brimming with excitement, hugged Jeffrey and swiftly grabbed the document. She took a snapshot and hurried to share it on Facebook.

As the crowd dispersed, Cherise and Yves led Oliver back to the west wing of the house, with plans to dine together before Cherise headed back to Glenshire Gardens.

As they passed by the surveillance room, Cherise casuentioned, "Grandpa, why don't you go ahead and relax? I'll just slip in here for a sec to check on a couple of things Without much thought, Oliver agreed and carried on.

Perched at the computer, Cherise quickly brought up the day's security videos, her fingers a blur on the keyboard.

Amused, Cherise watched Shirley, dressed to impress, attempt to get Morris's attention by knocking on his e car window, only for him to drive away, seemingly uninterested, With a few taps on the keyboard, Cherise made the footage of Morris vanish.

At Chivers Group, Morris was in his corner office on the top floor, his expression serious-quite the change from the relaxed. guy who'd recently left Cherise at the Leach manor. Hugh, Leo, and Steven stood before his desk, the atmosphere thick with tension. The quiet was broken by the buzz of Leo's phone.
