Chapter 422 Whispers Of Vengeance
A cold, resolute voice cut through the air.
This voice…
Instinctively, Cherise followed the sound and looked in its direction-
In the distance, Lennon held a video camera, capturing the unfolding scene.
“Tristan, I’ve recorded everything. There’s no escape,” Damien confronted.
Cherise was taken aback, her eyes darting between the camera in Lennon’s hands and the thundering rage on Tristan’s face. It finally dawned on her–she understood what was happening-
Tristan, too, realized the seriousness of the situation. His face twisted with anger, and he was overcome with sudden fury as he delivered a resounding slap across Cherise’s face. “You betrayed me!” He bellowed.
She felt the blood drain from her face, leaving her momentarily paralyzed.
Her legs weakened, causing her to stumble towards a nearby pillar. Lennon acted swiftly, extending his other hand to prevent her from crashing into it.
Amidst the commotion, Old Mr. Lenoir, supported by Mr. Hampson, emerged.
He quickly assessed Cherise’s red and disheveled appearance, then looked at Tristan and understood the situation.
“You despicable beast!” Old Mr. Lenoir’s voice thundered. He fiercely banged his cane, instructing Mr. Hampson, “Take him away and whip him until he’s silenced!”
“Wait.” A cold voice interrupted.
Lennon put away the camera with a faint smirk. “It’s Tristan’s affair with Damien’s wife, so Damien should handle it, right?”
“Instructing him now might backfire. If Damien isn’t satisfied with your punishment, will Tristan bear the lashes for nothing?” Lennon mocked..
Old Mr. Lenoir snorted and leveled a fierce glare at Lennon. The matters of the Lenoir family are none of your business!”
Lennon met the stare head-on and retorted defiantly. “Well, here I am, intervening anyway.”
Lennon smiled faintly. “Old man, perhaps you’re not aware,” he began, “I’m not only the child that the Belcourt family adopted; I’m also Damien’s business partner and his closest friend.”
“Closest friend?”
