    Chapter 231 Are You Worth It


    “You can leave”


    Darmen smiled at the director. “My wife feels embarrassed to rest on the bed with you here.”


    The director left with a smile


    Cherise ttened her lips and red at Damien, fuming


    Damien smiled indifferently as he sat on the bed. “Why? Did I say something wrong?


    She pressed her lips together and switched to afortable position as shey on hisp. “Even if


    you’re right, you can’t be so blunt.”


    “Alright.”


    He lowered his head and stroked her soft hair. “I’ll be more tactful next time.”


    “That’s more like it…”


    She must have been weak after her miscarriage. She slept shortly after lying down.


    Around two in the afternoon, a mor was outside the research institute.


    The girl was awoken. “What’s that noise…”


    Damien narrowed his eyes slightly. “I think the troublemakers are here.”


    Cherise got up, still feeling dazed and sleepy. Looking out the window, she saw Ian standing in the


    crowd far away.


    He’s really here.


    As Cherise stood by the bed, she felt her blood boiling.


    Her impression ofn had been ruined after discovering thatn had drugged her and aborted her child.


    His actions at that moment caused her opinion of him to copse further.


    She shut her eyes, and her body was trembling slightly.


    He was always someone she had admired and trusted firmly. As it turned out, he was deceitful,


    malicious, and ignorant.


    Cherise felt that she and everyone in her school were fools.


    Everyone who idolizedn like her was a fool.

    Damien held her hand. “Some people aren’t worth it.


    She felt disappointed as she heard the sound of her heartbeat.

    The girl turned to look at him. “What about you, honey? Are you worth it?”


    “I don’t know.”


    He ced his chin on her shoulder. “But I know that you’re worth it.”


    She was worthy of his protection.


    “You’re worth it, too.”


    Cherise turned to the side and kissed his cheek. “Darling, I won’t admire anyone else in the future. I’ll


    only admire you.”


    “You can’t disappoint me!”


    “Alright.”


    The manughed nonchntly as he agreed.


    The volunteers outside shoved the security guards in front of the research institute. The situation was


    intensifying.


    Ultimately, the research institute director appeared and instructed all the security guards to retreat so


    he could talk ton and Mia alone.


    “Don’t lie to us, old man!”


    The head volunteer pointed at the director and berated him. “If you dare disobey us, I’ll make sure your


    research institute can’t operate properly!”


    The director smiled. “This will be thest time you make trouble here. If this happens again, I’ll call the


    police.”


    The volunteers wanted to retort, butn stopped them.


    “That’s enough. I’m thrilled that the director is willing to talk to me.”


    He sighed. “Actually, the director is in a difficult position. He doesn’t call many of the shots.”


    After that, everyone else started blindly chiding Lennon and Cherise again.


    Upstairs, Damien narrowed his eyes slightly. He picked up the phone and called Bernard. “Send more


    people here. I want two people for every one person cursing at Cherise downstairs. When they


    disperse, beat them up.”


    “Don’t kill them, but give out bonuses ording to the severity of their injuries.”

    “What about those cursing at Mr. Lennon Belcourt?”


    “Ignore them.”


    Bernard was dumbstruck.


    “Alright!”


    After the call ended, Cherise furrowed her brows. “Do you have to be so vicious?”


    The man narrowed his eyes. A cold gleam flickered across his deep eyes. “They have to pay for saying


    nasty things too.”
