Chapter 120 What Did You Do for Him

He had considered joining a research institute, but the hiring criteria were too strict – it not only

required capability but also academic qualifications. Ian came from a poor family. To support his family,

he stopped pursuing higher education after graduating from the university. As such, he was not

qualified to enter a research institute.

“Yeah! My hubby said he could only get you in, but whether you can stay depends on your ability.”

Cherise beamed brightly.

Ian was on cloud nine, but it was only momentary. He looked at Cherise with a frown. “Why would…

your husband help me?”

He once drove me into the corner. Why would he suddenly be this kind to get me into a research

institute? Or did Cherise give him something in exchange for my sake? Yes, that must be it!

At this thought, lan looked at Cherise emotionally. “Cherry, actually, I don’t mind going back… You don’t

have to do this for me.”

Cherise shook her head in confusion. “Ian, what are you talking about?”

Ian gazed at her with a heavy heart. “Cherry, stop lying to me. If you didn’t give Damien any benefits,

why would he stop coming after me and even help me?”

Cherise furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before nodding. “Oh, yeah, I did give him some

benefits. That’s why he agreed.”

I knew it… Ian sighed, thinking Cherise had such deep feelings for him that she was even willing to…

He was agonized. “Cherry, what did you promise him? What did you do for him?”

Cherise gazed at Ian with a wide grin and answered, “Nothing much. I just gave him a kiss.”

“Is that… all?” lan was surprised.

Cherise nodded, thinking Damien was easy to persuade. “Yeah. What else do you expect?”

“It seems like you’ve overthought, Mr. Philips. A cold voice came forth. Damien sat calmly. in his

wheelchair while Mr. Hampson pushed him over.

“Hubby!” Cherise quickly stood behind Damien and took over Mr. Hampson’s place. “Ian, my hubby has

something for you!”

Damien smiled in resignation, seeing her silly look. “You heartless girl, you ran off immediately when

you got out of the car.”

Cherise smiled in embarrassment. “I was worried lan had boarded.”

Then, she waved at lan. “Come over here, Ian!”

lan’s expression turned sullen. Arching her brows, Cherise continued waving at him and even teased

him. “Come! Don’t you want to work in a research institute?”

Ian clenched his fists tightly at his sides. He despised people in the upper class like Damien. In his

mind, Damien was not as hardworking and self-motivated as him. However, due to his wealth, he could

easily marry the girl Ian liked and suppress him. He even made an exception for lan to enter the

research institute he has yearned to work in.

Ian knew he should turn the offer down if he had the guts. However, he had to face the reality. One

could only talk about dignity once he became powerful.

He inhaled deeply before walking up to Cherise and Damien.

Damien had observed every action and expression of lan’s. Cherise was innocent and kind, so she

couldn’t tell lan’s struggle, but Damien could.

He admired people who could endure suffering to bear responsibilities, just like him back

then.

The man with a black silk over his eyes smiled faintly. “Mr. Philips, although you have some hard

feelings toward me, I’m willing to refer you to a research institute for the sake of Cherise.”
