Chapter 400 He Had Been Sincere

The Lenoir’s Manor had burned to ashes, and Maeve, Damien’s sister, was left burned and scarred by

the fire. However, by some cruel twist of fate, Cherise got a second chance at life.

Cherise vividly remembered that ever since then, Elvis had refused to return to Adania. Whenever he

drowned his sorrows in booze, he would blame himself for being wicked…

Cherise’s blood ran cold, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She stared at Maeve in shock. “Is that… is it

true?”

“Absolutely!”

Maeve narrowed her eyes, burning with vengeful anger. “It’s all because of you that your uncle

destroyed everything Damien and I had! We spent thirteen years living in fear while you married. into a

wealthy family and enjoyed Damien’s love. Where’s the justice in that? That’s why I had Mandy

interfere and take Damien away. I would rather see the two kids I raised together than let Damien dote

on the murderer’s niece!”

Cherise’s tears finally welled up, and her vision blurred. “Does Damien know about this?”

“He didn’t know before, but he should know now.”

Maeve sneered, “By the way, you don’t know yet, do you? Elvis was arrested three days ago and

confessed to what he did back then. If you doubt what I’m saying, you can ask him in person. I bet he’ll

tell you the truth.”

Cherise trembled.

“Does Damien… also know about…my uncle?”

“You bet,” Maeve said succinctly.

Cherise stumbled off the sofa, finding herself on the floor in disbelief.

So… last night, Damien kissed her and asked her when they should make love again to have a baby.

Were those just lies and pretense?

Now… What Maeve had shared seemed far too authentic to be dismissed as fiction. She wasn’t in the

right frame of mind to process it…

“Bunny!”

Zachary stormed into the study. He hurried to Cherise, helping her up from the floor. “You! What did you

say to Bunny?”

“I just told her the truth.

Maeve sneered, turned away from Cherise, and said, “I’ve said what I had to. You know, everyone

should have the freedom to choose. So, I’m leaving that choice up to you. If you’re determined to stay

with Damien, there’s not much I can do.”

Cherise’s body quivered in Zachary’s embrace. Everything Maeve had mentioned left her feeling

confused and dazed. She couldn’t figure out if these were some kind of fabricated lies or…

Cherise clamped her hand over her mouth, struggling to contain her tears and sobs. Faced with these

harsh truths, it was impossible to remain unaffected!

She bit her lip, making an effort not to let it get to her, not to let it disturb her. But it was in vain. She

couldn’t. She really, absolutely couldn’t.

“Bunny!”

Zachary clenched his teeth and pulled her up from the floor. “Stop crying!

His demeanor was unusually severe, starkly contrasting with his usual playful self. He firmly held

Cherise’s shoulders. “Don’t you dare doubt Damien’s love for you!”

“Remember when you were at Tanner Manor, and he carried you back home on his back?”

“Do you recall when he put work on hold just to go shopping with you?”

“Do you remember when he playfully removed the hat from your bunny plushie on stage?”

The man’s persistent prodding into her memory gradually quelled Cherise’s tears. Every memory

Zachary brought up resurrected vivid scenes and images from the past.

Indeed, Damien had always been good and sincere to her.
