Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 121 Why Do You Have to Deny It
Damien took out a name card and handed it to lan. âBring this to the research institute for registration
tomorrow morning. Someone will be there to assist you.â
lan trembled as he took over the black card embossed with gold words. He gazed at Damien with
complicated emotions. It took a while before he could bring himself to say thank you!
Damien waved his hand. âDonât mention it. If you want to express your gratitude, thank Cherise. She
thinks youâre capable and doesnât want your talents wasted in your hometown. So, she rushed over.â
Cherise shook her head and said, âNo, no. You donât have to thank me, Ian. Itâs my hubbyâs idea to
send you to the research institute. I wouldnât have been this smart to think of sending you there.â She
giggled.
Ian fell silent, thinking Cherise was right. If Damien hadnât made an offer, a country girl like Cherise
wouldnât have thought of using Damienâs privilege to get him into a research institute.
At this thought, Ian wore a rueful smile. âMr. Lenoir, you asked all medical institutions in Adania to
blacklist me before this. Yet now, you offered to send me to a research institute. Is this a way of
compensating me?â
Cherise knitted her brows, thinking they had clarified with Jacob regarding lanâs dismissal. âMy hubby
didnât blacklist you.â
Ianâs expression turned solemn. âHe didnât? If I were merely fired from Jacobâs clinic, I wouldnât have
been this desperate to the point I had to return to my hometown. Iâm in my current situation, thanks to
Mr. Lenoir.â
Damien frowned. He wouldnât bother going out of his way to boycott an insignificant doctor like Ian. If
he really wanted to make things difficult for lan, he had countless ways. to pursue him directly.
âHubby?â Puzzled, Cherise turned to look at Damien.
âMr. Philips, there must be some misunderstanding.â
Ian narrowed his eyes. âThatâs impossible! The employers clearly stated that the Lenoirs. notified them
not to hire me.â
Damien pondered upon it for a moment and said, âIt seems like itâs not a misunderstanding but
framing.â

Ian gritted his teeth indignantly, seeing Damienâs calm look.
I told the truth, yet he claimed it was a misunderstanding. I insisted it wasnât a misunderstanding, but he
said it was framing. He was the one who gave the order. How could he pretend as if he was
uninvolved?
âMr. Lenoir, just admit it if youâre the one who arranged it. Why do you have to deny it? Even if you
admit it, I can do nothing to you!â Ian became worked up.
Damien smiled. âI didnât do it. Why should I admit it?â Then, he turned to look at Cherise. âWhat do you
think?â
Cherise had just distrusted Damien wrongfully, so she utterly believed in him at that moment. Pressing
her lips, she gazed at lan sincerely. âlan, this must be a misunderstanding. Maybe they didnât want to
hire you, so they made an excuse.â
Perceiving Cheriseâs complete trust in Damien, lan was at a loss for words. Finally, he spat through
gritted teeth, âMr. Lenoir, youâre indeed shrewd.â
âYou too.â
Ianâs face reddened. With that, he took his luggage and walked past Cherise and Damien. without
saying goodbye.
He gripped the name card from Damien in his hand. It represented his hope for the future.
Watching Ian leave, Cherise sighed and said, âHubby, lan must have misunderstood you, just like me
before.â
