Chapter 231 Are You Worth It

“You can leave”

Darmen smiled at the director. “My wife feels embarrassed to rest on the bed with you here.”

The director left with a smile

Cherise flattened her lips and glared at Damien, fuming

Damien smiled indifferently as he sat on the bed. “Why? Did I say something wrong?

She pressed her lips together and switched to a comfortable position as she lay on his lap. “Even if

you’re right, you can’t be so blunt.”

“Alright.”

He lowered his head and stroked her soft hair. “I’ll be more tactful next time.”

“That’s more like it…”

She must have been weak after her miscarriage. She slept shortly after lying down.

Around two in the afternoon, a clamor was outside the research institute.

The girl was awoken. “What’s that noise…”

Damien narrowed his eyes slightly. “I think the troublemakers are here.”

Cherise got up, still feeling dazed and sleepy. Looking out the window, she saw Ian standing in the

crowd far away.

He’s really here.

As Cherise stood by the bed, she felt her blood boiling.

Her impression of lan had been ruined after discovering that lan had drugged her and aborted her child.

His actions at that moment caused her opinion of him to collapse further.

She shut her eyes, and her body was trembling slightly.

He was always someone she had admired and trusted firmly. As it turned out, he was deceitful,

malicious, and ignorant.

Cherise felt that she and everyone in her school were fools.

Everyone who idolized lan like her was a fool.

Damien held her hand. “Some people aren’t worth it.

She felt disappointed as she heard the sound of her heartbeat.

The girl turned to look at him. “What about you, honey? Are you worth it?”

“I don’t know.”

He placed his chin on her shoulder. “But I know that you’re worth it.”

She was worthy of his protection.

“You’re worth it, too.”

Cherise turned to the side and kissed his cheek. “Darling, I won’t admire anyone else in the future. I’ll

only admire you.”

“You can’t disappoint me!”

“Alright.”

The man laughed nonchalantly as he agreed.

The volunteers outside shoved the security guards in front of the research institute. The situation was

intensifying.

Ultimately, the research institute director appeared and instructed all the security guards to retreat so

he could talk to lan and Mia alone.

“Don’t lie to us, old man!”

The head volunteer pointed at the director and berated him. “If you dare disobey us, I’ll make sure your

research institute can’t operate properly!”

The director smiled. “This will be the last time you make trouble here. If this happens again, I’ll call the

police.”

The volunteers wanted to retort, but lan stopped them.

“That’s enough. I’m thrilled that the director is willing to talk to me.”

He sighed. “Actually, the director is in a difficult position. He doesn’t call many of the shots.”

After that, everyone else started blindly chiding Lennon and Cherise again.

Upstairs, Damien narrowed his eyes slightly. He picked up the phone and called Bernard. “Send more

people here. I want two people for every one person cursing at Cherise downstairs. When they

disperse, beat them up.”

“Don’t kill them, but give out bonuses according to the severity of their injuries.”

The man marrowed hoc eyes. A cold gleam fickereit

“Thery hapne

“What about those cursing at Mr. Lennon Belcourt?”

“Ignore them.”

Bernard was dumbstruck.

“Alright!”

After the call ended, Cherise furrowed her brows. “Do you have to be so vicious?”

The man narrowed his eyes. A cold gleam flickered across his deep eyes. “They have to pay for saying

nasty things too.”
