Chapter 223 Show Me Proof

“They can target me all they want, but I will do anything to keep you safe.”

It’s time to set things straight.

Cherise nodded, her eyes flashing with determination. “I know.”

She knew about the feud between Damien and Raymond, as Lennon had mentioned it to her over

drinks.

She mustn’t add fuel to the fire, as their opponent is Raymond Lenoir.

Old Mr. Lenoir arrived in Cherise’s room with Wanda, coincidentally while Damien was away on a call.

Cherise was watching a Korean drama when she heard the door open. She looked up and greeted.

them, “Grandpa, Aunt Wanda.”

Old Mr. Lenoir glared at her. “Hmph!”

Wanda immediately snickered. “Who are you calling Grandpa?”

“Do you think an easy wench like you could become Mrs. Lenoir?”

Cherise furrowed her brows and looked up at Wanda. “Aunt Wanda, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean?”

“Everyone knows about your relationship with the Belcourts’ adopted son. Do you think you can fool

us?”

“What do you hope to achieve by playing innocent in front of us? You’re dragging the Lenoir family’s

reputation through the mud, even though you call Grandpa so affectionately. If you really cared about

Grandpa, would you have done what you did with that bastard?”

Cherise’s knuckles turned white from gripping the blanket.

Despite the accusations, she remained composed and smiled at Old Mr. Lenoir. “Grandpa, don’t you

trust me?”

Old Mr. Lenoir’s eyes grew cold with anger. He grunted and sat down on the couch. “If you want me to

believe you, show me proof that the baby you aborted was a Lenoir!”

Cherise bit her lip and explained, “Grandpa, would you believe me if I said I only met Lennon last.

week?”

Old Mr. Lenoir’s forehead scrunched up, and he stared directly at Cherise. “Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am.”

“What a bluff!”

Wanda coldly snickered. “The video of that bastard beating up the doctor for you is spreading like

wildfire. And now the Lenoir family is a laughingstock in front of all of Adania.”

“Do you think your claims of ‘I only met him last week’ will make us believe you?”

Cherise pressed her lips together tightly. “Can you tell me what kind of response you expect from

me?”

“You’re adamant in your belief that I’m in the wrong, and you won’t accept any of my answers. What do

you want me to do? Do I need to bring my child back to life and have a DNA test with Lennon?”

Wanda rolled her eyes. “That would be great.”

“Wanda!” Old Mr. Lenoir furrowed his brows to stop Wanda from going overboard.

Wanda pursed her lips, realizing she had crossed the line with her attitude. “Anyway, I won’t let this

go easily. The Lenoir family is noble. How can we salvage our reputation after you drop this bomb on

us?”

Old Mr. Lenoir sighed heavily and looked at Cherise. “Now that things have gone this far, you must at

least give us a proper explanation.

“We were never well-acquainted with the Belcourt family before. In fact, we were at odds with them

recently.”

“Even if you claim the baby was Damien’s, it doesn’t make sense for Lennon to stand up for him.”

“Exactly.”

Wanda crossed her arms. “The Belcourt family is still reeling from the Violet incident.”

Wanda trailed off, thinking about the infamous incident.

“Anyway, the Belcourt family and our family don’t have the best relationship. It doesn’t make sense why

Lennon would go so far as to beat up the doctor who aborted. your child.”
