    Chapter 70 The Lenoirs.


    Everything unfolded in a breathless rush. By the time Cherise and Ian regained theirposure,


    Damien had returned to his original position.


    He sat indifferently in his wheelchair, covering the spot on Cherise where L pushed her with hisrge,


    thick hand. “Does it hurt?” He asked.


    “Nah,”


    Cherise responded, her lips pressing together in a tight line. She lifted her eyes to look at L, who was


    struggling to regain her stance. “L, you should calm down…


    But calm was a distant horizon for L!


    She was here to avenge Ian and to tilt his affections in her favor!


    But in the end…


    She had done nothing but embarrass herself in front of him.


    While she was furiously muttering curses under her breath and attempting to stand, two men in ck


    suits appeared at the entrance of the room.


    One of whom was the manager of the facility.


    And the other, L’s superior, the supervisor at the sanatorium.


    L was stunned for a moment, and her subsequent expression was one of overflowing gratitude.


    Did her supervisor bring the manager along to seek justice on her behalf, knowing that she had been


    assaulted?


    She scrambled to her feet, thinking to herself that the bribes she had given to her supervisor had paid


    off!


    Standing at the doorway, her supervisor nced at L with an irritated look, then briskly strode


    towards her.


    A flutter of excitement quivered within her, “Boss…”


    ‘Smack!”


    Before L could utter another word, the supervisor pped her across the face. The sharp crack of


    the contact echoed through the hallway.

    The p left L dumbfounded.


    “Boss…” She stuttered in disbelief.


    Meanwhile, the manager of the sanatorium had approached Damien courteously. “Mr. Lenoir, if anyone


    from the facility has offended you, we humbly ask for your forgiveness, please do not take it to heart…”


    Standing at a distance,n furrowed his brows deeply.


    The manager of the sanatorium was his former lecturer and held a powerful reputation in the city of


    Adania. He had treated numerous influential figures and was highly regarded by those from both the


    lawful and the underworld circles.


    Yet, this man, who was supposed to be a fearless figure, now behaved like a frightened rabbit and was


    attempting to cate Damien Lenoir!


    Ian’s eyes narrowed slightly. Who… Is this man?


    Damien smiled faintly, “David, as you are aware, I am infamously known as the jinx.”


    “I’ve taken a tour around your facility today, if it doesn’t go into liquidation soon, I’m afraid I won’t be


    living up to my name.”


    Manager David was thrown into a panic.


    His eyes darted to L, still recoiling from the p. “Get over here and apologize to Mr.


    Lenoir!”


    L, still reeling from shock, heard the manager’s orders and decided to let her intrusive thoughts win.


    “Why should I apologize to him?!”


    “He put his hands on Ian first!”

    It was then that David noticed Ian’s presence in theundry.


    Frowning, he lowered his voice. n, you too,e and apologize to Mr. Lenoir!”


    “Forget it.”


    Damien gently let go of Cherise’s slender waist and put on a smile. “Let’s go home.”


    David, now desperate, stepped forward to stand in Damien’s way, gesturing to the supervisor with his


    eyes.


    The supervisor furrowed his brows and red at L angrily. “Do you realize who you are


    2/3


    messing with?” His voice was low and stern.


    “If you don’t apologize right now, the facility might as well close its doors!”


    L remained defiant. “What’s this blind man going to do?”


    The supervisor threw another p across her face. “Not all blind men are equal!’


    “Not a single soul in Adania can afford to mess with this one!”


    Seeing L’s stubborn defiance, the supervisor, frustration edging his voice, continued, “Ever heard of


    the Lenoirs?”
