Chapter 186 Worth Less Than A Blade Of Grass

“Who would have thought that Cherise’s husband would have such untoward intentions.

towards me… Sob…”

Cherise darted forward and shielded Damien behind her. “You’re lying! My husband would never do

such a thing!”

The village chief frowned. He sighed quietly before asking, “Vivian, think it over carefully. Could you

have been mistaken? I don’t think Cherise’s husband would do that either.”

“Maybe you forgot to announce your presence when you entered, and he mistook you for

Cherise?”

Damien narrowed his eyes.

The village chief had chosen his words carefully.

It may look like he was trying to help Damien by convincing Vivian that it was just a simple

misunderstanding.

But his words were cleverly phrased to insinuate that something inappropriate had happened between

Damien and Cherise, denying him the chance to explain.

It turned out that while the village chief appeared impartial, he had ulterior motives.

Vivian sniffled. She covered herself with a robe and dabbed her eyes. “I struggled and told him I wasn’t

Cherise. And he said he knew it was me all along.”

“You’re lying!”

Cherise shielded Damien behind her. “My husband isn’t the kind of person who would do something

like that!”

Ben rolled his eyes. “You’ve only been married to him for a month. How would you know. the kind of

person he is? What if he’s just pretending to be a gentleman?”

He darted a glance at Elvis. “Your daughter is way too naïve for her own good. The man is obviously

lying to her, yet she’s serving herself on a silver platter!”

Elvis paled. He turned his full attention towards Damien, “Mr. Lenoir, tell me what really happened.”

“What more does he have to say?”

Vivian crumpled onto the floor in tears. “He’s not going to admit to it and accuse me of

lying!”

The village chief thought deeply before sighing in exasperation. “That’s true… Who would admit to

doing something they shouldn’t have?”

The people around them started muttering among themselves.

Cherise’s hands were balled into fists.

Why would Damien choose Vivian, of all people?

Why did he stop on their wedding night if he were the type to sleep around with any woman?

Cherise clenched her teeth and glared at Vivian. “You’re lying! You’re trying to frame my

husband!”

Vivian sneered at her and gave her a pitiful look as if she felt bad for Cherise. “Me? Frame him?”

“Why would I tarnish my innocence by falsely accusing a blind man?”

“Besides, why would I frame him? Is a blind man like him worth all this effort?”

Cherise bottom lip trembled in anger. “You’re trying to frame him! You’re deliberately lying about this!”

She had always been terrible with confrontations and accusations. Especially times like this when she

was pushed into a corner. All she could do was glare at Vivian.

Vivian chuckled.

Cherise hadn’t changed. She was still easily defeated like before.

Did she think she’d be more powerful after getting married?

Vivian smiled. “Cherise, you and I are very different people. You treat this blind man like at pearl. But in

my eyes, he’s worth less than a blade of grass.”

Cherise pursed her lips, “Vivian, sooner or later, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I don’t know. But right now…”

Vivian turned to the village chief. She sniffled and dabbed at her eyes, “What should we do

about this…”

“My husband is still in jail. If he replaces out, he’ll want Damien’s life.”

“And… If news about this gets out, my reputation will take a hit…”

The village chief frowned and looked at Damien. “Mr. Lenoir will need to be punished for his offenses.”
