Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 849 Itâs All Heatherâs Fault
Cherise opened her eyes and met Heatherâs inquisitive gaze. Heather seemed to be
silently asking. âAre you okay?â
Cherise responded reassuringly and smiled at Heather, calming her anxious heart.
Ever since Cherise arrived at the institute, Heather had been worried about her. Although
she knew Cherise had Damienâs protection, she was concerned that Damien wouldnât be
able to arrive on time if Mr. Whitlock were to bully Cherise.
As Cheriseâs friend, Heather felt responsible for ensuring Cheriseâs safety. Now that
Cherise confirmed she was okay, Heather felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Mr. Whitlock stood behind Heather. His eyes lit up as he looked at the
steaming cup of tea.
Suddenly, he grabbed the cup and hurled it towards Heather.
Heather was focused on Cherise and was unaware of the danger behind her. On the other
hand, Cherise saw Mr. Whitlock splashing the tea and wanted to pull Heather away.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Heather screamed. Her face instantly turned red from the scalding tea.
Mr. Whitlock smashed the cup on the floor, shouting, âHeather, did you come here to spy
on me? Are you afraid I wonât slander Dr. Shaw as you wish, so you came in to check on
me!?â
Heatherâs body trembled violently from being scalded by the hot tea. She swayed
unsteadily and fell backward. Cherise caught her immediately. âHeather, are you okay?â
Heather was in so much pain that she couldnât speak for a while. She stuttered before
managing to say two words, âIt hurts!â
Seeing the usually friendly girl in so much pain ignited Cheriseâs anger.
However, Mr. Whitlock continued to slander Heather, âCherise, donât fall for her lies!
Heather made me produce these soâcalled pieces of evidence! No one knows better than
me that you didnât plagiarize! Itâs all Heatherâs fault! She conspired with Yolanda, bribed
me with money, and used my family matter to force me to work with them!â
Heather gritted her teeth. Her face had turned pale from pain, but she still mustered the
strength to look up at Cherise, pleading, âCherise, I didnâtâ¦â
Of course, Cherise knew that Heather didnât do those things.

Heather was naive and a little clueless. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been unaware of
Cherise and Damienâs relationship and kept gushing to her about how famous Damien was
until he came to propose to Cherise.
Furthermore, she wouldnât have claimed to be Lennonâs close friend without inquiring
about his relationship with Lucy.
How could this innocent girl be the mastermind Mr. Whitlock described, bribing and
coercing him with money? Anyone could see that it was Mr. Whitlockâs desperate attempt
to shift the blame and clear his involvement.
Cherise sneered and turned to Mr. Whitlock. âDid you say Heather bribed and coerced
you? Then, tell me, how much money did she offer you? When did she coerce you?â
Mr. Whitlock was astonished. He hesitated for a long time before answering, âShe offered
me two hundred thousand⦠Also, she said she would send my son abroad to make me
conspire with her.â
He didnât expect Cherise to question him.
After all, he had decided to slander Heather on the spur of the moment. When Cherise
asked for details, he couldnât come up with a story immediately. He had to retrofit
Heatherâs situation to match the conditions Mr. Zeller offered him.
However, in his haste, he failed to consider Heatherâs actual circumstances.
