Chapter 387 I Donât Want Any Privileges
Iâll explain everything to this individual properly once we meet.
Cherise took a deep breath and began typing on her phone. âSure, thank you.â
Upon receiving Cheriseâs message, the counselor promptly sent more messages, urging Cherise to
excel in the final exam.
In essence, the messages emphasized the importance of studying hard and striving for good. grades in
all subjects.
If she failed to do so, he would reduce her holiday time in the following semester.
Cherise patiently replied to each message.
By the time she finished responding, the car had already entered Adania.
Cherise stretched wearily. âHubby, have you planned any activities for me in the next few days?â
Damien furrowed his brow and shook his head. âNo.â
âGood!â
Cherise gazed out of the window at the familiar scenery. âThe counselor went to great lengths to
remind me to study hard and prepare for the final exam.â
âHe even threatened to shorten my holiday next semester if I didnât achieve good grades in every
subjectâ¦â
Damien seemed distracted as he replied, âThen you should study hard.â
âIâll drop you off at home first. After that, I have some matters to attend to. You should study at home
and not go anywhere.â
âOkay!â
Since Damien had been away from Adania for over a week, Cherise didnât suspect anything when he
mentioned having things to deal with.
After all, he had a massive corporation to manage. It was expected for him to be busy.
Damien stopped the car in front of Lenoir Manor. Cherise got out and waved goodbye. Then, she stood
at the doorway and watched him drive. away.
She smiled as she watched Damienâs car disappear into the distance.
My husband is so reliable! He takes good care of his family and manages his business well.

Cherise suddenly frowned.
Why did Damienâs car go in the opposite direction instead of heading to the company?
âMrs. Lenoir, youâre home!â
The grand villa door swung open. Frances rushed towards her excitedly and pulled her inside. âItâs
been so long. You look slimmer.â
Cherise saw her round face reflected in Francesâ eyes. âAm I really, slimmer?â
Frances observed her closely for a moment. Then, she looked away and cleared her throat. âYes,
youâre slimmer. Youâve definitely lost weight!â
Cherise pouted indignantly. âFrom the way you reacted, you must be thinking that Iâve gained weight!â
Uncle Shaw also mentioned that Iâve become rounder when we were in the Shawâs village. Have I
gained weight?
She pouted and took a deep breath. âIâll work hard on my studies and start losing weight from
now on!â
âSure, sure.â
Frances grinned and pulled Cherise into the villa. âIâve prepared your favorite chicken thigh dish. Letâs
have a feast to celebrate your return. Donât worry about dieting today.â
Cherise was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Damien was inside a police station in Adania.
The police chief looked at him resignedly. âMr. Lenoir, how did you find out about this?â
âWeâve just brought the suspect to the police station and havenât even started questioning him. Yet,
youâre already here to see him. It goes against our procedures!â
Damien nodded and adjusted himself to a more comfortable sitting position. âItâs alright. Since you must
follow procedures, I donât want any special treatment either.â
âI can wait.â
âIâll be the first to visit him after you finish interrogating him.â
The police chief was at a loss.
âWhy do you insist on going against a suspect?â

âI understand that you want to know what happened years ago. However, we can only reach a
conclusion after interrogating him.â
