Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Because You Should

“Hi, Ms. Lauren.” Cherise greeted her teacher warmly, as usual.

“Hey, Cherise.” Ms. Lauren’s smile deepened when she saw the pile of exam sheets Lucy. was carrying. “I heard you got a perfect score in additional math again.”

“Yes, Ms. Lauren. Cherise nodded obediently.

“You’re really clever! A top student will be popular everywhere.” Ms. Lauren expressed her fondness for Cherise and darted a profound gaze at Cressa, who looked sulky.

Cherise smiled modestly. “I’m not that smart. I’m just lucky.”

Ms. Lauren continued praising Cherise for a while before leaving.

Holding her transfer documents, Cressa shot a cold glare at Cherise. “Ha! You even managed to coax an old witch like her. You’re indeed very scheming.”

Lucy frowned. “Mind your words, Cressa!”

Cherise was brilliant and hardworking, so it was natural for the teachers to be fond of her. She didn’t deliberately curry favor with anyone!

“I speak what I like.” Cressa snorted. She crossed her arms and looked at Cherise coldly. “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have Damien Lenoir as your support. I’ll only study abroad for four years. When I return four years later, we shall see if you can still manage to cling to him.”

Cherise frowned. Despite being provoked, she remained courteous. “I believe you’ll learn. many life lessons in the four years.” She was good-tempered, but she was not a pushover!

Cressa was annoyed. “What do you mean? Are you saying that I deserve to learn a lesson?”

“Of course you do.” Lucy glared at Cressa. “If it weren’t for Cherise, you would still be locked up

in the mental hospital. Cherise suggested your father send you to study abroad. Isn’t that a good thing for you? She rescued you from deep waters, yet you’re mocking her here. You ungrateful brat!”

Cressa became hot under the collar. “I’m ungrateful? I was sent to the mental hospital thanks to her! And now, I have to leave home and live in a foreign place for four

years.
