Chapter 245
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 245 False Testimony
âCherise.â
On stage, Damien suddenly called out her name.
She immediately looked up at him.
The manâs deep eyes stared at her. âWhereâs the thing Susan asked you to bring along?â
Cherise was startled and remembered she had a bottle of makeup remover in her bag!
Did⦠Did he arrange this?
Did he know beforehand that Ian would use special effects makeup?
She immediately grabbed the makeup remover and sprinted to the stage.
At that moment, Ian was still arguing back and forth with Lennon.
Damien gave Cherise a meaningful glance.
The girl nodded and walked over. While lan wasnât paying attention, she poured the entire bottle. of
makeup remover over his face.
The makeup remover was special. Not only could it remove regular makeup products, but it could also
remove oil paint used in special effects makeup!
In an instant, Ianâs face started running with makeup.
The purple and red pigments on his face began to smudge.
The attendant immediately came over to wipe it off for him.
As the shades were removed by the makeup remover, his fair and clean face was revealed.
Everyone offstage cried out in surprise.
The injuries on Damienâs face were created with makeup!
His face was clean and spotless. He didnât look like he was beaten up to a pulp!
A reporter stood up angrily. âIan Philips, did you deliberately put on special effects makeup to deceive
us?â
Lucy put her arms around her chest and said coldly, âHow would he gain pity if he didnât use makeup?â
The reporters who had felt bad for lan had nasty expressions as though they had eaten something
1/3
awful.
Ian clearly realized that Cherise hadnât splashed him with normal water!
He was unyielding and stubborn. âEven if my face doesnât have bruises, everyone has seen the video
where I was beaten up. That wasnât fake!â
âLennon had really assaulted me previously!â
After that, he turned and looked coldly at Lennon. âDonât think youâre cleared of suspicion just because
Old Mr. Belcourt gave a false testimony!â
âFalse testimony?â
At the side, Damien finally laughed.
He took out a USB flash drive and projected it.
As the man stood on stage, his actions were extraordinarily graceful. When he raised his hands, he
looked like an employee explaining upcoming work assignments. He opened the files in the flash drive
one by one.
âOld Mr. Belcourt was engrossed with raising cats for a while, so he installed surveillance monitors
where the cats frequently roamed. He wanted to find out about the catsâ daily habits.â
âFortunately, my people found records from sixteen days ago in the surveillance monitors.â
He played the videos. Footage of Lennon entering and leaving Old Mr. Belcourtâs house was seen.
âOf course, we also found the street traffic footage that day.â
As he spoke, he looked at Ian coldly with a palpable murderous demeanor. âWould you like to take a
look, Mr. Philips?â
Damien played the footage.
The street traffic footage also showed Lennon had left the airport and went to Old Mr. Belcourtâs house
that day. The next day, he went straight to the airport from Old Mr. Belcourtâs house.
Lenoir Manor, where Damien and Cherise lived, was in the other direction. Lennon didnât head. there at
all.
The truth was revealed.
Ian took one step back subconsciously.
He took a deep breath. âJustâ¦. Just because Cheriseâs child isnât Lennonâs, it doesnât change the fact
that you harassed and beat me down!â
âYouâre just a group of people who take advantage of your position to bully others!â
