Chapter 223 Show Me Proof
âThey can target me all they want, but I will do anything to keep you safe.â
Itâs time to set things straight.
Cherise nodded, her eyes flashing with determination. âI know.â
She knew about the feud between Damien and Raymond, as Lennon had mentioned it to her over drinks.
She mustnât add fuel to the fire, as their opponent is Raymond Lenoir.
Old Mr. Lenoir arrived in Cheriseâs room with Wanda, coincidentally while Damien was away on a call.
Cherise was watching a Korean drama when she heard the door open. She looked up and greeted. them, âGrandpa, Aunt Wanda.â
Old Mr. Lenoir glared at her. âHmph!â
Wanda immediately snickered. âWho are you calling Grandpa?â
âDo you think an easy wench like you could become Mrs. Lenoir?â
Cherise furrowed her brows and looked up at Wanda. âAunt Wanda, what do you mean?â
âWhat do I mean?â
âEveryone knows about your relationship with the Belcourtsâ adopted son. Do you think you can fool us?â
âWhat do you hope to achieve by playing innocent in front of us? Youâre dragging the Lenoir familyâs reputation through the mud, even though you call Grandpa so affectionately. If you really cared about Grandpa, would you have done what you did with that bastard?â
Cheriseâs knuckles turned white from gripping the blanket.
Despite the accusations, she remained composed and smiled at Old Mr. Lenoir. âGrandpa, donât you trust me?â
Old Mr. Lenoirâs eyes grew cold with anger. He grunted and sat down on the couch. âIf you want me to believe you, show me proof that the baby you aborted was a Lenoir!â
Cherise bit her lip and explained, âGrandpa, would you believe me if I said I only met Lennon last.
week?â

Old Mr. Lenoirâs forehead scrunched up, and he stared directly at Cherise. âAre you serious?â
âYes, I am.â
âWhat a bluff!â
Wanda coldly snickered. âThe video of that bastard beating up the doctor for you is spreading like wildfire. And now the Lenoir family is a laughingstock in front of all of Adania.â
âDo you think your claims of âI only met him last weekâ will make us believe you?â
Cherise pressed her lips together tightly. âCan you tell me what kind of response you expect from
me?â
âYouâre adamant in your belief that Iâm in the wrong, and you wonât accept any of my answers. What do you want me to do? Do I need to bring my child back to life and have a DNA test with Lennon?â
Wanda rolled her eyes. âThat would be great.â
âWanda!â Old Mr. Lenoir furrowed his brows to stop Wanda from going overboard.
Wanda pursed her lips, realizing she had crossed the line with her attitude. âAnyway, I wonât let this
go easily. The Lenoir family is noble. How can we salvage our reputation after you drop this bomb on us?â
Old Mr. Lenoir sighed heavily and looked at Cherise. âNow that things have gone this far, you must at least give us a proper explanation.
âWe were never well-acquainted with the Belcourt family before. In fact, we were at odds with them recently.â
âEven if you claim the baby was Damienâs, it doesnât make sense for Lennon to stand up for him.â
âExactly.â
Wanda crossed her arms. âThe Belcourt family is still reeling from the Violet incident.â
Wanda trailed off, thinking about the infamous incident.
âAnyway, the Belcourt family and our family donât have the best relationship. It doesnât make sense why Lennon would go so far as to beat up the doctor who aborted. your child.â
