Chapter 918 Too Frightened
Damien’s phone was ringing incessantly. He had tried calling Sebastian multiple times. Many had also
attempted to call Cherise but to no avail. Sebastian said that Cherise was unavailable because she
was too tired. Those words were suspicious coming from him.
“Damien.” Maeve stood by the balcony, gazing at the overcast sky in the distance where Damien had
been staring. “Still no word from Cherise?” He shook his head. After a moment, he turned to look at
Maeve. “I’ve been overseeing Lenoir Group for a long time. I’m tired.”

public is saying about you now?” She grasped Damien’s hand and spoke earnestly. “If you relinquish
control of Lenoir Group now, others will assume those rumors are true. They’ll think that you’re upset
about your wife sleeping with another man if you willingly give up these assets that basically fell from
the sky. You must remain composed at a time like this.”
“Cherise hasn’t returned yet. You must wait for her to return before making any decisions. You can’t
lose your composure… If you can’t keep it together, who will Cherise turn to in the future?” Maeve’s
words gradually brought a glimmer of hope into Damien’s bloodshot eyes. He looked at Maeve,
“Maeve… do you trust Cherise?”
“How could I not trust my sister-in-law?” Maeve pursed her lips. “I believe Cherise wouldn’t be
unfaithful, even if it was for your sake… I’m aware of her stubborn nature. I’m just afraid…” Maeve
sighed, gazing at the distant sky. “I fear she may harm herself because she’s too stubborn and
determined…”
Damien’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. He had underestimated Sebastian’s power. He had
believed that assigning Mr. Kolson and Blake to protect Cherise would guarantee her safety. It was his
mistake.

“Mr. Lenoir!” As he was consumed by regret, Mr. Hampson hurriedly opened the door and rushed to the
balcony. “Mrs. Lenoir and Mr. Blake have returned!” After that, the man dressed in black swiftly dashed
from the balcony. Maeve also hurried down the stairs behind Damien.
Cherise sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs, clad in white, fluffy pajamas. She was trembling
as she was wrapped in a thick blanket. Beside her lay a set of soiled clothes she had worn when she
visited Sebastian yesterday. Now, they were torn beyond recognition and covered in mud.
Cherise herself was covered in mud. Frances knelt beside Cherise, tears streaming down her face as
she cleaned Cherise’s feet gently with a warm towel. The woman’s feet and legs were covered with
various wounds. Blake had changed his clothes and sat silently in a corner nearby.
