Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 129 Can You Treat Us to a Meal
âThis is the treatment you deserve!â
Cherise rolled her eyes. She called Damien her elder brother because she didnât want others to know
she married a rich man, worrying they would treat her differently. But now⦠the outcome seemed to be
no different.
The two girls continued chatting until they reached the classroom. Cherise opened the box and
distributed the papers. âEveryone, please do your correction. Iâll collect the papers again tomorrow.â
Then, Cherise returned to her seat and packed, preparing to leave. However, to her surprise, her
classmates remained seated. All eyes were on her. Cherise stopped packing her bag and asked, âIs
there⦠anything else?â
Sunny Wood, the class monitor, stood up and cleared his throat. âCherise, since the mid- term results
are released, weâre considering going out to unwind. Maybe have a meal together or go to the
karaoke.â
Startled, Cherise instinctively checked the time. She remembered Damien was going to talk business
on her behalf today. She pressed her lips. âI can join, but I have to reach home by 10 p.m.â
Sunny shook his head. âCherise, weâre not asking if youâre joining, butâ¦â
you
He let out an awkward cough before continuing. âWeâre all classmates. When had financial difficulties
back then, all of us helped you. In the last few months, when your grandmother fell sick, we also raised
funds as a class. Now that youâve returned to your rich family, can youâ¦â
Lucy furrowed her brows. âAre you asking Cherise to pay for you guys?â
The class fell silent while Sunny nodded. âYes. We had to resit the paper because of Cheriseâs mistake.
It isnât too much to ask for a meal, right? Moreover, given her status now, she wouldnât care about such
a small amount of money.â
Lucy was irritated. The money doesnât belong to Cherise. Donât you think this is too much?â She knew
Cherise was stubborn. Ever since she married Damien, she didnât even buy new clothes for herself.
How could she use Damienâs money to buy her classmates a meal?
Sunny rolled his eyes at Lucy. âCherise is like a princess now. Her familyâs money will be passed down
to her sooner or later. She hasnât said no, so why are you causing trouble here?â

Sitting at her desk, Cherise dug her nails into her palm Moments later, she lifted her head and smiled at
Sunny âI can buy you guys a meal. Have you thought of where to go?â
Her classmates burst into a cheer upon hearing her response.
Sunny wore an obsequious look and said, âYeah We chose Viopril Palace!
by gasped when she heard the place. Before he could remind Cherise, the naive girl nodded and
agreed. âOkay, weâll meet there tonight thenâ
Two days ago, she had just received her scholarship worth ten thousand. Assuming th would cost at
most a few thousand to treat the whole class to a meal, Cherise thought she could afford it
Sunny nodded excitedly. âSureâ See you guys at 8 pm. at Viopril Palace! With that, her class dispersed
immediately as if they were worried Cherise would change her mind.
In no time, only Lucy and Cherise were left in the classroom.
âYou silly girl! Why did you agree with them?â Lucy walked up to Cherise and poked her forehead with
her finger.
