Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 674 All Is Yours
She waved at him, saying, Iâm leaving!â
The woman turned on her heels and walked
away.
Isaac stood in the corridor, his gaze fixed on Cherise as she left. A fleeting sadness passed through his eyes.
Since arriving at the hospital, Dr. Shaw had been his mentor, and Ms. Lane had been his source of support.
Now, both of them were gone.
He would have to move forward alone from now onâ¦.
âZac, are you starting your shift?â
Just as Isaac was feeling melancholy, a clear female voice echoed in his ear.
He looked up in surprise. âDr. Staber!â
He almost forgot!
There was still Dr. Staber!
When he was in a difficult situation in the operating room, Dr. Staber had come to his aid!
Even though Ms. Lane and Dr. Shaw were no longer by his side, he still had the experienced Dr. Staber!
Isaac looked at Lucy with visible excitement, âDr. Staber, Iâm so glad youâre here!â
âHmm.â
Lucy nodded lightly, confused as to why Isaac was looking at her as if she was his lifeline.
The woman coughed awkwardly, glancing at the directorâs office. âIs the director in?â
âYes!â
Isaac nodded hastily.
Dr. Shaw had just left the office. The director had to be around
âThatâs great.â

Lucy yawned and strolled towards the directorâs office.
Isaac noticed that Lucy was holding an envelope in her hand.
A sense of foreboding washed over him.
He asked cautiously with a trembling voice, âDr. Staber, what do you need from the director?â
Lucy paused, looked back, and waved the envelope in her hand.
âIâm resigning! I came here for Cherise, but now that sheâs gone, thereâs no point in me staying in Lermille. I might
as well return to Adania and be with my Dad.â
Isaac: ââ¦â
Despair overwhelmed his short-lived joy.
After submitting her resignation at the hospital, Cherise received a call from Beckham.
âCherise.â
His voice on the other end of the call sounded serious.
âI saw the news about the press conference. Are you⦠having a hard time?â
Cherise pursed her lips. Her gaze drifted towards the sky.
The sunlight was particularly bright today.
Raising a hand, she shielded her eyes while heading towards the parking lot.
âDad, donât worry about me. You were always there for me when Mom passed away five years. ago. You would
understand the immense psychological pressure I was under. Iâm sorry I donât have your and Momâs resilience. Iâm
thinking of taking a break from this work. As for whatâs next⦠weâll discuss it later.â
Beckham sighed.
âI had a talk with Gwenn earlier. I knew she was a journalist, but I never knew she was plotting against youâ¦â
âDad, Iâm just relieved youâre not angry at me for discussing our inheritance dispute in front of so many people.â
âYou donât need to fight for it.â

Beckham sighed softly.
âEverything in the Tanner family will be yours in the future. In any case, she⦠is still an outsider.â
The voice of the man in his fifties was somewhat hoarse.
âBut Cherise, our companyâs shareholders saw Damien at the press conference. Theyâre pressuring me, asking if
youâre back together with him. The animosity between Lenoirâs company and ours runs deepâ¦â
He sighed, âThe shareholders still insist that if you and Damien cannot end your relationship cleanly⦠then youâre
not qualified to be the heir of Tanner Group.â
