Chapter 1021 Confronting Ian


    She smiled at him, her demeanor calm yet determined. “I have a gift for you,n,” she dered. She grabbed the objects on a


    nearby table with swift precision andunched them towards him. Though he managed to evade the first cup she threw at him,


    Otto quickly intervened, restrainingn. In the ensuing chaos, hot water, a kettle, teacups, tes, and fruits rained uponn.


    After hurling everything within reach, Cherise regained herposure quickly, to everyone’s surprise. “Take him back to the


    mental hospital,” she instructed, her voice steady. She took a moment to gather herself before continuing, “His presence is no


    longer needed.”


    “Mrs. Lenoir, are you absolutely sure?” Otto’s grip tightened onn as he posed the question, his concern evident on his wrinkled


    brows. Damien had emphasized to Otto aboutn’s role in recovering Cherise’s memories. Hence, Otto hesitated to sendn


    away despite what Cherise had said.


    lan was an incredibly sly man. Should his current schemes fail, his future ploys upon potential release from the mental hospital


    would undoubtedly escte to more extreme measures.


    “Yes,” Cherise affirmed, drawing a deep breath. “Even if my memories remain elusive, | no longer require his presence.” She felt


    distressed for Damien. A man of his stature rarely gave in and was barely swayed easily. He had only set aside his dignity


    because her memories focused onn. Cherise was Damien’s number one priority. Yet, she refused to allow Damien to be so


    subservient or constrained, even if it was for her sake.


    “Cherise!”n fought against Otto''s restraint, his voice teeming with desperation. “Cherise, what | said’ before were lies, |


    swear... You might not recall Damien now, but you remember me. You know what sort of person | am.”


    “What | said earlier-Damien made me say it... Really...”n’s gaze bore into Cherise, his expression fraught with pain and


    anguish. “I never meant to address you in that manner... This whole situation is Damien''s doing. This is his and Otto’s scheme!”


    “Is that so?” Cherise retorted with a scoff. “But it was my choice to be here. Having this conversation was also my idea.”

    “Thank you,” Cherise added, offeringn an indifferent smile. “You’ve taught me a valuable lesson.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    lan was taken aback. “What is it?”


    “It shows that what you witness might not always be the whole truth. Moreover, | can’t take others’ words at face value. Take him


    away,” shemanded before briskly leaving the room.
