Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 331 Do You Think We Can
Damien narrowed his eyes, and a chill seemed to fill the air around him. âSince Mr. Tanner has said so,
I shall take my leave now.â
With that, he stood up and quickly departed with Cherise.
As they made their way from the main villa to the guest room, Cherise could sense. Damienâs icy
demeanor.
He⦠seems angry?
Upon returning to the room, the girl carefully poured Damien a cup of tea. âHoney, why do I sense that
youâre⦠unhappy?â
Mr. Tanner had clearly provided them with an opportunity. Everything would be fine if they investigated
how to uncover the Tanner familyâs secret during Mr. Beckhamâs birthday banquet, wouldnât it?
Damien sighed in frustration and pulled her onto his lap, gently biting her cheek twice, playfully
pretending to devour her like she was his prey.
âYou silly girl.â
Cheriseâs cheek felt itchy after his bites, but she looked at him blankly and timidly. âWhy are you
angryâ¦â
âMr. Tanner didnât offer us a way out.â
Damien caressed her cheek and sighed in frustration. âFoolish girl. You didnât even realize that he was
taking advantage of you.â
âWe canât compare to the Tanner familyâs power. Iâve been in business for the
past few years and even have a talent like Lennon, but I admit Iâm no match for the Tanner family.â
âIf the Tanner family canât solve it, do you think we can?â
Cherise was startled. Her face paled before her cheeks flushed.
So, it means⦠we practically canât do⦠what Mr. Tanner mentioned?
âThatâs right.â
Damien closed his eyes. âBy saying that, heâs preventing us from using money or our connections to
destroy the chip.â
1/2
âHe means that since he has shown us the way, we canât blame him if we canât accomplish it. And if the
Tanner family canât even solve it themselves, do you think we can?â
Cherise bit her lips fiercely.
She⦠She had never considered it.
As Damien analyzed the situation, she realized that⦠Old Mr. Tanner had deceived them.
At the same time, in the Tanner Residence.
âDad, you want these young people to help us find me and Ariâs daughter?â
Beckham frowned deeply. âEven I canât find her. They wonât be able to find her neither.â
âThen why did you trick them like that?â
Mr. Tanner stroked his beard and smiled. âDonât say that. Wasnât the girl quite confident?â
After Damienâs explanation, Cherise understood that she had fallen into Mr. Tannerâs trap.
She pursed her lips and grumbled softly. âThese business people are so cunning.â
She looked up pitifully and leaned into Damienâs arms. âHoney, did I say the wrong thing?â
The girl resembled a bashful kitten, causing Damien to shake his head in frustration.
He reached out to stroke her hair. âItâs not your fault.â
âEven if you hadnât said anything, Mr. Tannerâs words would have had the same intentions.â
âItâs just a matter of whether we agreed to it.â
Cherise pressed her lips together. She still felt uneasy. âI wonât speak thoughtlessly next. time.â
âThese wealthy people are too intimidating.â
Damienâs lips curled into a smile. He kissed her soft lips. âIâm wealthy too. Am I intimidating?â
His gaze grew more lustful and dangerous.
