Chapter 224 The Man From the Video!
“The bad blood between the Belcourt and Lenoir families has nothing to do with my relationship. with Lennon.”
Damien’s low voice rang through the room just as Wanda curtly accused Cherise.
Cherise’s gaze snapped to the source of the gravelly voice.
Damien and Lennon stood by the door, exuding an a*sertive and unwavering aura.
Wanda’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw that Damien was not in a wheelchair.
She scoffed and turned to look at Old Mr. Lenoir behind her. “Dad, did you notice something different about Damien?”
“His eyes were cured recently.”
Old Mr. Lenoir squinted at Damien, his composed voice layered with surprise. “His eyes are
cured?”
“Yes.”
Wanda curled her lips. “I only found out yesterday afternoon. I thought Damien would come home to share the good news with everyone, but…”
“If we hadn’t come to find him, he might have forgotten all about his grandpa and uncle!”
Old Mr. Lenoir’s face fell slightly. “It is my fault.”
Damien’s lips curled into a cold sneer. He slowly made his way towards Cherise and sat down beside her. “I should have made a phone call after I announced to the public about my eyes.”
The man picked up the apple on the side table and began to peel it for Cherise. “But Cherise was distraught yesterday after the abortion. I had to care for her, so I completely forgot about it.”
Old Mr. Lenoir’s face turned ashen at Damien’s comment.
Wanda rolled her eyes, disbelieving. “Are you suggesting your wife is more important than the Lenoir family?”
Damien lowered his head and continued to gracefully peel the apple in his hands. “I have nothing else to explain if that’s what Aunt Wanda thinks.”
Wanda’s face twisted with exasperation in an instant.
She was upset with Damien for not informing his family about his recovery, but he dared to respond that Cherise was more important to him than his family!

He was clearly defying her!
He’s so obnoxious now that he can finally see after ten years!
She’s always been critical of him, but he never dared to speak up against her.
She scoffed at him. “Unfortunately, she still got pregnant with someone else’s child despite having your affections.”
“Mrs. Lenoir, you must be accountable for your words.”
Lennon icily emphasized through gritted teeth; his forehead creased with annoyance.
Only then did Wanda notice the stranger standing by the door: Lennon Belcourt, the man from the video!
Wanda chuckled menacingly. “How dare you come here?”
“My buddy’s girl is at the hospital. Why would I be ashamed of coming here?”
Lennon walked into the room and marched over to a chair, where he sat down and stared coldly. at Wanda. “Damien knows about my relationship with Cherise. There’s no need for you to drive at wedge between us.”
Wanda spat derisively, “You!”
Old Mr. Lenoir raised his head and fixed his eyes on Damien, who was engrossed in peeling an apple for Cherise. “What are your plans now that things have gotten so big?”
Damien remained silent, continuing to peel the apple.
Old Mr. Lenoir tapped his walking stick on the ground. “This is no small matter! It will damage. the Lenoir family’s reputation!”
“We’re a noble family who’ve kept our reputation clean for over a hundred years! I won’t tolerate such disgraceful rumors!”
“I give you three days to come up with an answer that satisfies me, or I won’t let you off easily!”
Old Mr. Lenoir scoffed as he stood up.
Behind him, Damien gently pa*sed the peeled apple to Cherise. “If Mr. Lenoir thinks I don’t deserve to be part of the Lenoir family, you can erase my name from our family tree.”
