Chapter 703 A New Discovery About Cherise.
âThree years with Damien, yet you havenât even scratched the surface. If you had done your due diligence, you would know that he is not only the heir to Lenoir Group, but he is also currently managing Shaw Group. Just so you know, Shaw Groupâs success in Adania is second only to Lenoir Group itself.â
Ursulaâs eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. âShaw GroupâŠâ she muttered, the name echoing in the room.
Although she had been aware of Damienâs control over Shaw Group, realizing its significance hit her like sudden shock. She vaguely recalled past discussions with Rowena, speculating about the origin of the name âShaw.â At the time, unaware of Cheriseâs existence, they had naively a*sumed it was Damienâs motherâs maiden name.
Returning to the present, with Cherise standing before her, her words resonated with a newfound clarity. The âShawâ in Shaw Group⊠it was Cheriseâs âShaw?
âPrecisely,â Cherise confirmed, a faint smile playing on her lips as she observed Ursulaâs dawning understanding. âNot only am I the chairwoman of Shaw Group, which falls under Damienâs control, but I also own a quarter of his a*sets. Additionally, my children are Damienâs legitimate children, entitled to their share of his wealth.â
âSo, legally, if anything were to happen to Damien, as he remains unmarried, all his a*sets will be inherited by my children.â
With this, the woman glanced at Ursula with a subtle smile. âThe children I brought here reside in a house where I own over a quarter of the shares. They have every right to utilize its amenities and resources; whatâs wrong with that?â
âMs. Ursula, I would advise you to pray for Damienâs continued well-being. If anything were to happen to him, everything you possess will rightfully become my childrenâs inheritance. By then, forget about cars and houses; I wonât even spare a dime for your Hospital bills.â
âYou-!â Ursula gritted her teeth, ready to retort, but her eyes caught on the man leaning against the entrance pillar. She fell silent abruptly.
Biting her lip, she took a deep breath. While Cherise remained oblivious to Damienâs presence, Ursula hastily tried to twist her words. âSo, Ms. Shaw, youâre quite eager for something to happen to Damien, arenât you?â
âNot exactly,â Cherise replied with a faint smile. âBut wouldnât it be interesting if he encountered a minor setback, nothing too serious, just enough for me to swoop in and save the day? Then, I could finally live a life of carefree bliss, just like Ms. Rowena, with someone catering to my every whim, even my sisterâs. I could be as audacious and demanding as I pleased.â
She looked at Ursula, her smile a mixture of seven parts mockery and three parts disdain. âDoesnât that sound appealing?â
Ursulaâs face turned ashen. She quickly clenched her teeth and turned to Damien in the distance. âMr. Lenoir⊠I⊠Rowena is not that kind of personâŠ. She wouldnât even dream of such thingsâŠâ
Her frantic eyes and voice caused Cherise to furrow her brow and instinctively glance back.

In the distance, a man in a sleek black suit stood gracefully, leaning against a carved pillar with one hand, fait smile playing on his lips.
Seeing Cherise turn, the man who had been observing the drama could no longer remain a spectator. He stood up, glanced at Ursula, and said, âYou go attend to your sister. I need to have a word with Cherryâ
Ursula pursed her lips. With Damien present, she didnât dare to be defiant anymore. She could only obediently ascend the stairs, but not before casting a hostile glare at Cherise.
Only when the sound of Ursula shutting the door upstairs reached them did Damien shrug casually and slowly approach Cherise.
He gazed at her affectionately and leaned in gradually, saying. âIt seems Iâve just overheard a rather intriguing version of Mrs. Lenoir.â
