Chapter 80 He is the Best Husband!

Jacob was blown away when he saw the red handprint on the right side of Cressa’s face. He was

confident that it was Cherise’s handprint based on the size of the petite palm size.

Cherise may look innocent, but she is a fighter when needed. I wish I had half the courage she had.

“Are you here to bail Cherise out?” Cressa’s voice cut through his reverie like a hot knife. through

butter.

“Who are you to Cherise?” Cressa grinned to herself as if she uncovered a shameful secret.

“Isn’t Cherise married to that blind guy? Why isn’t he here to bail her out? The only reason I can think

of is…” Cressa paused for effect.

Jacob could almost feel Cressa’s gaze run up and down his body.

“Perhaps you’re Cherise’s toy?”

Cherise, who heard the preposterous remark, clenched her fists in frustration.

However, Jacob snickered at Cressa. “You’re being nonsensical, young lady.”

“Am I?” Cressa whispered menacingly as she slowly approached Jacob and Cherise. “I wondered how

you could be so happy married to a blind man. I should’ve guessed that you had a backup plan. I’ve

underestimated you. What a rich life you live! The blind one lavishing you with riches, and this one

satisfies you physically.”

Cherise stared daggers at the other woman.

She was the quiet and studious type in school, and her classmates thought she was just a country

bumpkin with a knack for scoring good exam scores.

She always thought that the world was harmonious and friendly.

Her eyes were open to the cruel world now that she had encountered Cressa.

Why does she have to insinuate that Jacob and I are together? Can’t we be friends? Cherise thought

but was quickly interrupted by a shrick.

“Ew! That’s disgusting!”

An older woman, who was with Cressa, scrunched her face as if she smelt something. pungent. Even

though Rhonda did not know Cherisa well, she took her daughter’s word ast

“You could never judge a book by its cover. Who would’ve thought such an innocent- looking lady could

do such a despicable thing!”

Cherise closed her eyes tiredly. She never thought that random strangers would jump to conclusions

about her based on a few off-handed remarks, but she was sadly wrong.

“Correct me if I was wrong, but I believe you’re Randall Lyes’ wife, and the young woman here is his

daughter?” Jacob enquired as he discreetly removed his phone from his pocket, secretly turning on the

recording app.

“Hah! I guess you’re not as foolish as I thought you were! Then you should know you don’t want to be

on my bad side.”

“I’m not a dummy like Cherise here. She thought she could do whatever she liked after she married

that blind guy. I don’t care if he’s a Lenoir. He’s just a figurehead he doesn’t even take care of his own

family!”

Cherise felt her blood boiling to his face when she heard what Cressa said about her husband, but

thankfully, Jacob stopped her before she could rush at Cressa.

“You were calmer when she said some nasty things about you. However, you were enraged when they

insulted Damien, weren’t you?”

“She can say anything about me but not insult Damien – he’s the best husband anyone. could wish

for!” Cherise grumbled as she tried to shake Jacob’s grip off to storm back. toward Cressa so that she

could give her the beating of her life.

Jacob chuckled at Cherise’s indignance as he ended the recording. He quickly sent the voice recording

to Damien.

Damien, who had just returned from an Annual General Meeting Convention, was reclining in his chair

in the cool darkness of his study room when his phone lit up notification.

The phone screen illuminated his face as he tapped into the voice message that Jacob sent to him.

“He’s the best husband anyone could wish for!”

Cherise’s clear announcement was like a breath of fresh air in his hectic life.
