There was pure happiness and endearment in Cherise’s voice.
Damien’s deep voice filled the air, “Everyone’s heard it. Cherise, being with me has only brought joy
and fulfillment.”
He tightened his embrace around Cherise, and his eyes softened as he continued, “And ast for Mr.
Shaw’s words, they hold no truth. Cherise’s happiness has only deepened since. she’s been with me.”
“Besides,” he continued with a smirk, “I am sure that I outshine all the other sons-inw in the vige,
whether in looks or height.”
“And to add, my family has a prosperous business which has ensured our financial standing surpassing
all the other sons-inw in this vige.”
“As for education, manners, and all the rest, if any of you have a son-inw who evenes close to
my caliber, please enlighten us.
A deafening silence settled in.
“No takers?” he quipped, his toneced with sarcasm.
The wicked grin on Damien’s face widened as he continued sarcastically, “Oh, Ben, you’re so
concerned about Cherise’s well-being, questioning if a disabled man like me can make her happy.”
“I can’t help but wonder, though,” he continued as he raised an eyebrow mockingly, “is your daughter’s
husband, the one currently behind bars, capable of providing happiness. to your daughter?”
Murmurs erupted among the vigers, each nodding in agreement at the undeniable truth in Damien’s
words.

of jail, right?

happy with someone like her husband?
Damien’s words stirred murmurs among the vigers as Shaw and Vivian’s faces. darkened.
Vivian gritted her teeth andshed out, “Why are you suddenly talking about. my husband? He might
be in jail, but he can still protect me when he’s out! Unlike you,

marrying a disabled man who can’t defend you!”
“Is that so?” Damien sniggered, a smug appearance adorning his face.
The man’s words had barely left his mouth when his figure appeared in front of Vivian. A resounding
p echoed as his palm struck Vivian’s face.
He then calmly retreated to Cherise’s side.
“I don’t usually resort to violence against women,” Damien said calmly.
The p mark on Vivian’s face was visible. Her eyes burned with fury as she red at Damien, her
cheeks throbbing. “You!”
“I’m merely demonstrating my ability to protect Cherise,” Damien’s voice remained eerily calm.
Ben seethed with rage after witnessing Damien brazenly strike his daughter. He lunged forward,
determined to retaliate, but Damien effortlessly countered his attack, deftly throwing Ben to the ground.
Massaging his wrist leisurely, Damien sneered, “Do the two of you still believe I can’t protect my wife?”
Ben clenched his teeth, and his eyes shed with anger. He could feel a colossal rage spewing in his
chest.
Just then, the vige chief strolled by, carrying a hoe on his shoulder. Ben swiftly called out, “Vige
chief!”
“Elvis had his adopted daughter and son-inw bully us. Are you going to take action?”
The vige chief was a distant rtive of Ben’s family but remained impartial in his. judgments.
After hearing the current situation from the surrounding vigers, the vige chief red. at Ben.
“Nonsense! Don’t make our Shaw Vige aughingstock to outsiders!”
He waved his hand at the crowd. “Disperse, everyone. Everyone has their own way of living; we’re all
part of the same vige. No need to make it look bad!”
The onlookers gradually dispersed.
The vige chief turned to look at Elvis. “Although Ben and his daughter are in the your son-inw, an
outsider, has indeed bullied our vigers. That doesn’t reflect well, either. Take him back and discipline
him!”

Elvis pursed his lips, then nced at Cherise with some displeasure. “Take Mr. Lenoir and go back!”
“Sure,” Cherise replied obediently.
Cherise noticed the displeasure in Elvis’ expression, and a helpless anger brewed in her.
