“Who cares about the client?” Jarvi waved his hand dismissively. “Everyone, step back”

The sleazy man, realizing that the money was slipping away, widened his eyes in shock. “But, Mr.

Aquino,

what…”

“What do you mean ‘what? She’s my friend’s daughter! I can’t bring myself to harm her for money, Go

and refund the money!”

After saying this, he seemed to realize something was wrong and cleared his throat. “Add an extra

twenty percent as a penalty fee to silence the client!”

“Yes…” As Jarvi was about to lose his temper, the sleazy man could only sigh and start leading the

others

away.

When the crowd finally dispersed, Cherise reluctantly handed the photo to Jarvi. “Mr. Aquino, since

you’ve been so considerate to us, here’s the photo as promised…

“Hold on.” Jarvi took the photo and said something to the person beside him. The person hurried away

with the photo.

Cherise was confused. “Mr. Aquino, what are you…”

“Please have a seat.” Jarvi politely gestured to the chair beside him. He then smiled at Cherise. “I can

tell you’re also reluctant to part with it.”

Jarvi explained, “It’s understandable. After all, you’re Charisa’s biological daughter. After so many

years apart, you finally found her, and now she’s gone… So, of course, I can’t keep this photo to myself

“Please wait a moment. I’ve instructed my subordinate to make a copy of the photo. I’ll keep the copy,

and you can keep the original as a memento.”

“Thank you, Mr. Aquino,” Cherise looked at the man before her, feeling an indescribable emotion in her

heart. Perhaps her mother had foreseen this day when she told her about these things?

Thinking of her mother made her detest Raymond even more.

If not for him, my mother wouldn’t have died so young.

“Your husband seems to treat you very well.” Jarvi glanced at Damien indifferently before turning to

Cherise and sighed. “You have much better taste in men than your mother.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “I don’t think so…”

In reality, it was all a coincidence. Although she was infatuated with Damien at first sight, if not for the

deal between her uncle and Damien’s grandfather, she would not have had any connection with

Damien.

“No, it’s true. You have much better taste than your mother,” Jarvi replied frankly. “Your mother loved

your father all her life.”

“At first, your father couldn’t protect her, letting her suffer. Later, he couldn’t compete with your mother

or replace her whereabouts. He never realized his incompetence or knew that your mother had been

“And your man here is more of a man than your father. He doesn’t trust anyone else to take care of

you, based on what he just said. He believes that only he can take good care of you. I can tell from

these words that he’s a real man!”

Cherise became even more embarrassed by Jarvi’s words. “Mr. Aquino, don’t praise him like that, or

he’ll become arrogant.”

Jarvi laughed, his expression softening considerably. It was a complete departure from his previous

cold demeanor. At this moment, he looked more like a kind old man.

He looked at Cherise with a smile. “Even if I don’t praise him, it won’t stop him from becoming proud.

He looks like a child from a wealthy family, with pride and magnanimity.”

“People like him are naturally proud and won’t change themselves because of anyone’s praise or

criticism.” After saying this, he glanced at Damien as if seeking confirmation. “Am I right?”
