Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband

Chapter 1021 Confronting Ian 

She smiled at him, her demeanor calm yet determined. “I have a gift for you, lan,” she declared. She grabbed the objects on a nearby table with swift precision and launched them towards him. Though he managed to evade the first cup she threw at him, Otto quickly intervened, restraining lan. In the ensuing chaos, hot water, a kettle, teacups, plates, and fruits rained upon lan.

After hurling everything within reach, Cherise regained her composure 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 on lan as he posed the question, his concern evident on his wrinkled brows. Damien had emphasized to Otto about lan’s role in recovering Cherise’s memories. Hence, Otto hesitated to send lan 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 escalate 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 on lan. Cherise was Damien’s number one priority.

“What | said earlier-Damien made me say it... Really...” lan’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.”

She gazed into lan’s eyes. “lan, you're quite the performer. If it wasn’t for what you said, | wouldn’t have been aware that you had initially intended to dispose of the study materials you gifted me back then. | was deeply touched at the time, believing you genuinely cared for me, but it was all a fagade. You've probably said the same to countless other girls.”

“Thank you,” Cherise added, offering lan an indifferent smile. “You’ve taught me a valuable lesson.”

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,” she commanded before briskly leaving the room.

“Otherwise, Mr. Lenoir won't rest easy. And I'd strongly suggest steering clearfignyriskerteddntets vddhoushs knowledge,” Otto advised. Despite his recent return to the country, Otto had already shown himself reliable, as others had attested.
