At that time, Damienâs hands were wrapped around her slender waist, the two deeply in love. Cherise stood before him now with the same clear eyes and slim waist, but... she was no longer the same person.
The man took a deep breath, his voice pained as he asked, âWhere is Mr. Kolson?â
âMr. Kolson is dead.â Blake smiled bitterly. âMr. Kolson sacrificed himself to protect me and Cherry. He used his blood stains to lead those people to him so | could protect Cherry and return.â
âWhat?!â Francesâ eyes widened in disbelief. âMr. Kolson is dead!?â How can this be?! Even though Mr. Kolson worked as Damienâs driver, he used to be an international special forces soldier! His skills were the best she had ever witnessed!
Otherwise, Damien's parents wouldn't have entrusted Mr. Kolson to safeguard Damien alone in the past! But... Mr. Kolson... is actually dead?! Frances found it hard to believe. Even Mr. Hampsonâs complexion paled. âHow can this be...â
âNothing is impossible.â Blake sneered. âMr. Lenoir, you had Mr. Kolson train new bodyguards for you these years. Your new bodyguards are capable, each more skilled than Mr. Kolson.â Damien pursed his lips. âAre you suggesting that the people who killed Mr. Kolson are...â
âYes.â Blake took a deep breath. âI know many of them. They were excellent students taught by Mr. Kolson. They learned Mr.
Kolsonâs techniques and also knew his weaknesses, making it easy for them to overpower him. Even if they arenât as proficient as Mr. Kolson... they held firearms.â Blake sneered. âHow can a mere human go up against firearms unarmed?â
âImpossible!â Mr. Hampson pursed his lips. âI did dispatch those individuals and provide them with firearms, but | instructed them to bring you back! | never instructed them to harm you!â
âYet they aimed guns at me and Cherry!â Agitated, Blake was no longer stuttering. âWho else could have instructed them?!â He confronted Mr. Hampson angrily. âWhen Mr. Kolson took me to the training camp for these bodyguards, he told me they only obey Mr. Damien! If it wasnât your intention to kill us, how could those individuals have been so ruthless to us!?â
Mr. Hampson gritted his teeth and continued to argue with Blake as his face flushed. âWe have no reason to kill you!â
âYou do!â Blake gritted his teeth viciously. âYou Pes eeherncaeelâ
thatanan eohtmite an offense. You did it for the Lenoir family and their reputation!â
The Lenoir familyâs reputation...
Damien pursed his lips and turned his deep gaze at Maeve) ShafeltaC m tinge Uflunease when her younger brother looked at her in such a manner, so she instinctively took a step back. âDamien, please calm down.â
â| would never do such a thing or issue such an order. | have long known what Cherise means to yo Ny relationship pa@oAly improved recently. Thereâs no way | would disrupt this peace. Moreover, Cherise saved my life. Iâm now a mother, so |
understand how important a mom is to her children. | cannot allow Soren and Serafina to grow up without a mother.â
