    Chapter 417 He Did It Intentionally


    Cherise nodded, understanding the situation. “I see.”


    “So… it’s that simple.” She had initially expected finding her uncle to be as challenging as finding at


    needle in a haystack.


    “Zachary never intended to hide it from you, Damien exined with a faint sigh as he leaned to the


    side, retrieving a cigarette from his pocket.


    “When he came to Adania, he traveled with me on my ne. And when he left, he took a flight on


    Mandy’s private jet to the Tanners.”


    “Do you think someone like Zachary, heir to the Miles family, couldn’t afford a ne ticket?” Damien


    inquired, raising an eyebrow.


    Cherise was taken aback, and her eyes automatically shifted towards Damien. 7So, you’re saying…


    “He did it intentionally,” Damien affirmed.


    “He wanted both of us to know that he had arrived in Adania and took Elvis away.”


    Cherise pursed her lips. “But what was his intention?”


    “I haven’t figured that out yet,” Damien admitted with a hint of a smirk. “But, Cherry, it’s quite clearly a


    trap.”


    “Are you nning to go?” Cherise asked.


    Cherise turned her attention to theputer screen, watching Elvis as he departed with Zachary and


    Kareen’s luggage. “I’m going. I don’t know what Zachary is up to, but my uncle is with him. Even if it’s a


    trap, I have to go,” Cherise said, her gaze unwavering,


    With determination in her voice, Cherise nced at Damien and added, “Honey, you don’t have to


    come if you find it too risky. Let ke apany me-that should be enough.”


    Cherise shook her head a secondter. “Actually, never mind. I can handle it by myself. Though


    Zachary is a bit peculiar, I doubt he’d resort to anything excessively harmful.”


    Damien took a deep breath, raised his head to gaze at her, and a hint of amusement danced in his


    eyes. “What are you talking about? You are my wife, Cherry. Whatever happens, I will be there for you.


    You think I’d let you handle all of this alone?”

    Cherise sniffled and flung herself into Damien’s arms, embracing his sturdy frame. “My darling. you’re


    the best!”

    Damien smiled wryly, extinguishing his cigarette before affectionately pinching her cheek. “So, are you


    sure you want to give up on your exams to search for your uncle?”


    Cherise bit her lower lip and remained silent.


    “I don’t want to influence your decision,” he continued in a deep, solemn voice.


    “If you choose to skip the exams and look for your uncle, I can take you there tomorrow. Although, I


    believe if you approach your uncle with outstanding grades, he’ll be even happier, Damien suggested.


    Cherise bit her lip. pondering for a moment.


    She recalled what Zachary had said over the phone when he left Adania.


    He said she had to bring top scores in all subjects to see him. If she fell short, he wouldn’t meet her.


    Back then, she thought he was just making a silly and heartless joke. But she wasn’t sure anymore.


    Zachary was a person she couldn’t quite understand, and she wondered if he had been serious. about


    his words.


    She looked up and regarded Damien with a crestfallen expression. “But I’ve only had less than a week


    to study… And the exams are tomorrow… I’m worried…”


    “Don’t be,” Damien reassured her, tilting his head to nt a tender kiss on her forehead. “You can do
