Chapter 926 Cherise’s Innocence

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. The image of Cherise from the previous day appeared before him. She was pressed

against the wall, and he was standing before her. The woman looked up and glared at him furiously. “Sebastian,

you'll pay for your actions!”

“How will I be paying?” At that moment, Sebastian had a lustful expression as he smiled at Cherise wickedly. “If

my retribution is that everyone believes we slept together and had an affair, I'm willing to accept it.”

Cherise gritted her teeth and glared at him. “I won't let you get your way.” After that, she retrieved a scalpel

from her pocket and plunged it into her leg ruthlessly. As blood flowed from the wound, her eyes regained focus.

Taking a deep breath, she slapped Sebastian hard across his face. “No matter who you are or what power you

hold, you have no right to coerce a woman into doing something without her consent!” Then, she held the

scalpel against his neck, using him as a hostage to blackmail her way to freedom.

“Haha! It's useless. All your resistance is in vain,” Sebastian sneered as he looked at Cherise, who was trying to

compose herself. “Do you think others will believe you're innocent if you leave now? Cherise, news has spread.

Right now, everyone thinks you're a shameless woman.”

“I just want my loved ones to know I'm innocent.” Taking a deep breath, the woman cautiously weaved through

Sebastian's men. She was fearful he might attempt to escape, yet also concerned about inadvertently harming

him. Thus, she proceeded slowly. Still, this also provided Sebastian with the opportunity to continue taunting her.

“Do your loved ones believe in your innocence? Cherise, stop deluding yourself.” The man kept smiling faintly as

he observed her tense expression. “Do you believe that if news of our alleged affair were to spread, Damien

would be capable of killing you? You should know better than I do that the Lenoirs are a prestigious family with a

reputation to uphold.”

Cherise bit her lip firmly. Though her gaze wavered slightly, she continued using Sebastian as a hostage to exit

the hotel. Outside the hotel, a middle-aged man and a young man had already subdued the guards. Cherise

released Sebastian and departed under their protection.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.. Sebastian looked up at the downpour, a sneer forming on his lips. He took out his

phone and silently dialed a number. “Gwenn, it's tfor your team to act.”

Events of the previous day continued to swirl in Sebastian's mind. A smile crept onto his lips as his

consciousness began to fade. Ultimately, all he could hear were the voices of those around him calling out his

name.

The news of Sebastian being ambushed spread rapidly. Many in Adania debated online throughout the night

whether the Weiss family would retaliate. Damien had gone out of hand and led a team to the Weiss family’s bar

to hurt Sebastian. Everyone knew the Weiss family wouldn't stay silent.

As anticipated, Sebastian’s sister, Yolanda, posted on Twitter the following morning. ‘Damien, this feud between

you and the Weiss family is far from over!” Damien, who had abstained from social media for years, responded to

Yolanda, to everyone's surprise. Teagerly await it. He sounded extremely arrogant.
