Chapter 428 Do Not Mess With Cherise
Damien raised his head slowly and gave Lennon a cold look. He gently released his arm from around Cherise and said, “Let Mr. Kolson take you home, alright?”
“I have some matters to attend to.”
Cherise nodded and hugged herself. “Go ahead.”
“Take care.”
Damien k*ssed her forehead and stepped out of the car.
The car started moving.
Cherise curled up in the backseat and remained still.
Fear grew in her chest. Strange and unsettling images flooded her mind…
Damien watched until Cherise’s car disappeared from his view.
Once it was gone, he turned back to Lennon. He clenched his fist and punched Lennon in the face.
Lennon staggered to the side.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “Was that really necessary? Cherry wasn’t even hurt.”
Damien had spent the entire day in a confrontation with Danielle at the

While Damien only wanted Raymond to face consequences.
The two of them argued all day but couldn’t reach a resolution.
company.
That’s why Lennon decided to use Cherise as bait to trap Tristan and disrupt the complicated. relationships within the Lenoir family.
Of course, Lennon didn’t inform Damien about his plan to use Cherise.
But even so, he kept a close watch on Cherise since she left school.
He knew how much Damien cherished her and made sure she didn’t suffer much.
“What if Tristan had targeted Lucy instead?”
“What if Lucy was the one slapped by Tristan?”

Damien grabbed Lennon by the collar, his eyes filled with rage. “Do you think you could have stayed calm?”
“Damien!”
Lennon frowned, grabbing the hand on his collar. “I thought you would realize it was a setup.”
“Cherise didn’t experience much harm!”
“But if I hadn’t involved her, would you and Danielle have resolved your conflict without fighting?”
“If it weren’t for what I did, would you have peacefully stepped back?”
Damien glared at Lennon, refusing to let go.
Lennon took a deep breath. “Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve barely given any thought to the situation with your family!”
“All your attention is focused on Cherise!”
“How much work have you done for the company recently?”
“If you hadn’t neglected your responsibilities, Raymond wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do
this!”
“Cherise is all that’s on your mind. Your sister noticed it too. That’s why she took control of the company and started that fight with Raymond.”
Damien narrowed his eyes.
Lennon took a deep breath. “Cherise has gained a lot.”
“All I wanted was for her to make a small sacrifice for you. Was that too much to ask?”
“Yes.”
Damien sneered. His knuckles turned white with anger. He struck Lennon. “Lennon, I know you think you’re doing this for my own good.”
“But I won’t allow anyone to harm Cherise.”
“Not even myself.”
Damien’s icy glare remained fixed on Lennon’s face. “We’ve known each other for so many years. You should know better than anyone what kind of person I am.”
“There won’t be a second chance.”
“If there is… If you mess with Cherise again.”
