Mr. Kolson twisted Eriana’s arm viciously, and she grimaced in pain. When she heard what Damien said, she gritted her teeth, unconvinced. She wanted to retort when Evaline stopped her.
Evaline was a few years older than Eriana and was slightly more experienced.
Evaline could tell with one glance that Damien’s clothes and the silk ribbon around his eyes were pricey.
On top of his noble demeanor, she had guessed from the start that the man was of significant stature. At that moment, what Damien said made her feel that her guess was entirely accurate.
She pulled Eriana back and shook her head slightly.
“I suddenly remembered that I have something to do with my sister. We’re leaving!”
After that, she pulled Eriana away and quickly left before Elvis could answer.
“We’ve ridiculed ourselves in front of you, Mr. Lenoir.
After the two left, Elvis smiled shamefully. “This is our family. I had no other way, so I made Cherise…”
“Cherise and I are doing well.“,
Damien’s cold voice rang. “Cherise, I want to speak to Uncle Shaw alone.”
Cherise raised her head to glance at Elvis. “Where’s Aunt Sarah?”
“Sending Sky and Tay to school.”
The petite woman took a deep breath. “You haven’t eaten, have you?”
“Why don’t you buy us breakfast?”
Damien said nonchalantly.
Cherise nodded and turned to leave.
When her figure vanished at the end of the corridor, Elvis sighed indifferently. He looked up at Damien. “What do you wish to say to me, Mr. Lenoir?”
“Have your sisters always been like this?”
“Mm.”
“Did Cherise grow up in such surroundings?”
“Yes.”
Damien turned and rolled his wheelchair to the window as he felt the cool breeze outside. “It’s been tough for her. She grew up in such conditions but is still so silly.”
“Cherise isn’t silly. She’s just simple and goes about her life bluntly.”
