Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The Venomous Vine of Jealousy

Cherise momentarily lost her balance, but Damien reached out in time to stop her from falling.

“Ian, are you alright?”

Lila, with eager concern, helped lan to his feet. How did you end up on the floor?”

As she spoke, her eyes lifted cautiously to glower at Damien. “Was it you?!”

“You, blind man seated in the wheelchair, what have you done to lan?!”

Before Lila could utter another word, Cherise placed herself in front of Damien with a frown. “Lila, please mind your words!”

Lila huffed coldly. “So, did you bring this blind man here?”

“What are you going to do about it?”

She made sure lan had found his balance before letting him go, then walked towards Damien with a sneer. “Not only will I call him a blind @ss man, but I will also throw him. out right in front of you!”

Cherise clenched her fists. “I dare you!”

Lila had harbored feelings for lan for a while now.

Jealousy burgeoned within her when she noticed lan had been dropping off Cherise to work in the past, leading to her making things difficult for Cherise.

Now, it was evident that the man in the wheelchair assaulted Ian, and Lila, amidst her anger, saw it as an opportunity to shine.

A triumphant smile adorned her lips as she moved briskly towards Damien.

But Cherise stood in her way.

Despite being ten inches shorter, Cherise stood with clenched fists, her cheeks puffed as she barked, “Lila, lan must have fallen on the ground for a good reason. My husband is a good man, how could he put his hands on lan?”

Lila raised an eyebrow indifferently.

She recalled that this little girl, who wore a ponytail, had always behaved obsequiously. regardless of how difficult she made things for Cherise.

1/3

She had not heard her talk back before.

Who would have thought that now, for the sake of a blind man, this same little girl would. stand up to her?

Lila marched forward and raised her hand to shove Cherise aside.

She made sure to put in enough force to make sure Cherise felt her hostility, but to her surprise, Cherise remained unmoving.
