Chapter 918 Too Frightened
- Damien's phone was ringing incessantly. He had tried calling Sebastian multiple times. Many had also attempted to call Cherise but to no avail. Sebastian said that Cherise was unavailable because she was too tired. Those words were suspicious coming from him.
- "Damien." Maeve stood by the balcony, gazing at the overcast sky in the distance where Damien had been staring. "Still no word from Cherise?" He shook his head. After a moment, he turned to look at Maeve. "I've been overseeing Lenoir Group for a long time. I'm tired."
- "Damien, please don't lose hope." Maeve pursed her lips and went up to him. "Do you know what the public is saying about you now?" She grasped Damien's hand and spoke earnestly. "If you relinquish control of Lenoir Group now, others will assume those rumors are true. They'll think that you're upset about your wife sleeping with another man if you willingly give up these assets that basically fell from the sky. You must remain composed at a time like this."
