Chapter 274
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 274 Mandyâs Boyfriend, Damien
Cherise held Lucyâs hand. âShall we go visit Jacobâs clinic?â
Lucy became interested. âSure!â
She found Cherise more charming, being her own happy self without vanity.
âCherise Shaw.â Just as Cherise and Lucy walked toward the door, Jessie stopped Cherise. âMandy is
buying the class a meal at Viopril Palace tonight. Hope you can join us.â
âViopril Palace? Havenât you had enough at that place last time?â Cherise curled her lips.
Last time, when Sunny organized for the whole class to eat at Viopril Palace and extorted money from
Cherise, Jessie was also one of the organizers.
Jessieâs face darkened. She blocked Cherise with her hand. âYouâre not the host today, so donât
overthink. Mandy is treating us tonight. Her boyfriend, Damien, will be paying the bill. Youâre invited for
a free meal. So, are you coming or not?â
Cherise arched her brow. âMandyâs boyfriend, Damien?â
Jessie nodded. âI bet you donât know yet. While you were resting at home, your husband became close
with Mandy.â
The incident with Ian caused a sensation in the city, so Cheriseâs classmates were aware of it, too.
They were jealous of Cheriseâs fortune and, at the same time, disdained her for marrying Damien for
the sake of money.
Humans tend to choose to believe what they thought was true. So, even after witnessing lan behaving
hysterically at the news press and Old Mr. Belcourt standing up to testify, Cheriseâs classmates, whom
Jessie led, still believed there was some kind of entanglement between Cherise and Lennon.
As such, when Mandy hinted at her intimate relationship with Damien, they chose to believe it.
âCherise, please donât blame Mandy. Any ordinary woman wouldnât turn down the pursuit of an
outstanding man. Moreover, you and Damien have long parted ways, havenât you? Youâre seeing
Lennon, so why canât Damien see Mandy?â
âIs that how Mandy brainwashed you guys?â
Lucy grabbed Jessieâs collar indignantly. âMind your tongue! The news stated clearly that thereâs
nothing between Cherise and Lennon. What do you mean Cherise and Damien have parted ways? I
think your parents are the ones who have parted ways!â
Before Cherise could stop Lucy, Mandy walked over, accompanied by her other classmates. âJessie!
What are you talking about?â

She turned to look at Cherise and said, âCherise, please donât misunderstand. Jessie was
overthinking.â
Her tone was gentle, her attitude generous, and her smile was flawless, as if she had undergone
professional training.
Then, she feigned an angry look and glanced at Jessie. âPlease stop talking nonsense in front of
Cherise. Thereâs nothing between Dame and 1.â
Jessie broke free from Lucyâs grip on her collar. âMandy, youâre too kind. You always claim thereâs
nothing between you and Damien, but youâre already calling him Dame. He even allows you to use his
driver and car. Isnât that obvious enough?â
Then, Jessie darted an arrogant glance at Cherise. âYou were almost late this morning. I guess you
must have come by public bus, right? The car that used to pick you up and the driver, Mr. Kolson, have
been serving Mandy since last week.â
