Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 275 Thereâs Really Nothing Between Us
Jessie remarked smugly. âHe even lent Mandy his car and driver for as long as a week. Thatâs enough
to indicate their relationship, isnât it?â
Only then did Cherise realize why Damien had personally sent her to school this morning. It turned out
the car and Mr. Kolson were now at Mandyâs disposal.
She frowned. Despite feeling slightly uncomfortable about it, she could understand that it was
necessary to establish a good relationship with Mandy to investigate her more deeply. Moreover, this
arrangement was just temporary.
Cherise never cared much about these things. In fact, she wouldnât mind taking the public bus as long
as she could arrive at school on time. So, she wasnât bothered.
âJudging by your confused look, I bet you didnât know about the matter.â Jessie continued to challenge
Cherise.
Cherise nodded. âYeah. I wasnât aware.â
Jessie gloated. âSee, Damien didnât even tell Cherise that he lent the car and the driver to Mandy. They
donât seem like a normal couple at all. Why are you denying that you guys have parted ways, Cherise?â
Cherise found Jessieâs assumption ridiculous. âWhy does that imply weâre not a normal couple?â She
glanced at Jessie with a serious look. âIf your dad wants to lend his car to someone else, will he ask for
your momâs permission first?â
Instantly, Jessieâs triumphant expression froze. Everyone in the class knew her family was poor and
couldnât afford a car. Her father would ride a motorcycle to the schoolâs parentsâ day.
The comment was an utter humiliation to Jessie!
The blood drained from Jessieâs face.
After a moment of silence, Lucy burst out laughing. âCherry, your question has really stumped Jessie.
Her family doesnât own a car!â
Cherise was startled. âI see.â
She smiled at Jessie. âSince such a situation never happened to your parents. Why would you think it
would affect my relationship with Damien?â
Jessie was bereft of speech. âIâ
âJessie, youâve crossed the line.â Mandy patted Jessieâs shoulder. âItâs not up to us, outsiders, to
comment about their relationship. Moreover, thereâs really nothing between Dame and 1â
Mandyâs tone was extremely gentle. âItâs just that when Dame knew my driver was unavailable.

and my brother took my car, he felt sorry for me for commuting by public transport every day. So, he
lent the car and the driver to me. Weâre just normal friends. Please donât overthink.â
Then, she turned to look at Cherise with a smile, âCherise, I hope you wonât overthink too. Thereâs
nothing between us.â
Lucy was disgusted by Mandyâs words. What a hypocritical b*tch! She pretended to clarify her
relationship with Damien, but in fact, she was trying to emphasize how Damien felt sorry for her and
couldnât bear to see her take public transport. She thought Cherise had to come to school by public bus
because the driver was serving her. She just wanted to imply that, to Damien, sheâs more important
than Cherise!
âDonât worry, I wonât.â Cherise smiled at Mandy. âMr. Kolson drives quite fast. Hope youâre getting used
to his speed, Ms. Wool. I was too used to his speed, soâ¦â
So, I found Damienâs driving too slow!
Cherise thought it was unnecessary to say the second half of the sentence to her classmates.
However, when the others heard her incomplete remark, they thought she was going to complain about
how slow the public bus was.
