Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 A Liar

The doggedness of Cherise amused Damien, who could not resist but chuckle. Perhaps for anyone else, she was bickering with David in an attempt to complete sweet revenge for all her mistreatment. However, Damien knew Cherise was a simpleton and did not harbor such feelings. She was merely attempting to question something illogical to her; an analogous scenario would be when a student continued grilling the method employed by a teacher solving an arithmetic question. She had always carried such earnestness and willfulness, which was precisely why she was so endearing.

David repeatedly wiped off his cold sweat and stared at Lila and the supervisor. “Come here!” Lila was already shocked by the supervisor’s statement, and her legs had gone weak. The supervisor had to expend much effort to drag her forward. “Mr. Lenoir…”

With a loud bang, Lila fell to her knees. “Mr. Lenoir, I was unaware that Cherise was your wife, so… But I was not against her. The washing machine was spoiled, so I…”

Before she could finish her statement, a blue streak could be seen dashing into the room. Following that, a young man in blue walked before the washing machine, raised his hands, and pressed the power button. As everyone held their breath, the washing machine started vibrating and coming to life. Pouting, Blake stood aside and was visibly upset, “She was lying!”

Lila knelt on the ground and trembled uncontrollably. Cherise widened her eyes in disbelief. The washing machine is functioning. Why did she make me handwash the bed sheets the past few days? She should know handwashing is not as efficient as the washing machine. That’s very unprofessional of her!

Cherise glared furiously at Lila and rebuked, “Ms. Gurwell, you’re too much!” She didn’t. even care about the patients’ safety! Now that all her disguise was exposed, Lila could only admit her mistakes. Kneeling on the ground, she muttered, “Mr. Lenoir, I was wrong. I picked on her because I… I thought the relationship between Mrs. Lenoir and Ian was extraordinary…” Suddenly, something came to Lila’s mind!

Although it was my fault for picking on Cherise, there is indeed something fishy between her and Jan! Not only did Ian help her to find a job, but he also asked me to only assign easy tasks for her. He’ll send her to work every day and pick her up after work every day. Isn’t this sufficient to prove their abnormal relationship? If I expose these deeds to Damien, he might not come after me for Cherise’s sake. Every man hates being cuckolded, let alone someone from an excellent family like Damien. Moreover, he was blind, which would add to his low self-esteem!

At that thought, Lila took a deep breath and uttered, “Mr. Lenoir, there’s a reason why I treat her in such a way! I knew she was married when she first came, but lan and her were so close I thought they were lovers…”

She paused and shot a cold glare at Cherise before continuing, “I’ve always hated those involved in affairs. I thought Cherise was cheating on her husband, so I lied and said the washing machine was spoiled. I wanted her to hand wash the bedsheets and make her suffer… I was wrong for not knowing she’s your wife.”

Cherise furrowed her brows. “Ms. Gurwell, what nonsense are you talking about?”
