Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 15 You Didn’t Do Anything Wrong

Everyone could tell the butler was hitting Cherise with such speed and strength because someone must have prompted him.

Damien’s words made the butler’s actions freeze momentarily.

After a moment, he pulled back the whip dutifully. “I obey Old Mr. Lenoir.”

Wanda rolled her eyes. “We’re enforcing family rules on a depraved woman. You have no parents, and you weren’t brought up well. How is it your place to criticize us?”

In the past, Damien always kept silent on such occasions with the Lenoir family. Wanda naturally felt annoyed that he suddenly spoke up today.

“You’re hitting my wife. Of course I have to say something.”

Damien spoke indifferently.

Cherise could tell that it was just as Damien had said. He didn’t have any position or dignity in the family. No one paid attention to what he said.

“You think marrying such a tramp would bring you any benefits?”

Wanda snorted coldly and turned to look at Old Mr. Lenoir. “Dad, I think Cherise won’t learn her lesson if she isn’t hit.”

“But since she’s already the Lenoir family’s daughter–in–law, we shouldn’t go overboard. As long as she admits her mistake, we can stop, right?”

On the surface, it seemed like Wanda was giving Cherise a way out. However, because of Cherise’s obstinate personality, Wanda was sure that Cherise wouldn’t admit fault.

Old Mr. Lenoir looked down and glanced at Cherise. “Do you admit your mistake?”

“No.”

Cherise straightened her back. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why must I admit fault?”

Old Mr. Lenoir waved his hands restlessly.

‘Crack!‘

The butler holding the whip hit Cherise.

“Do you admit you were at fault?”

“I’m not at fault!”

‘Crack!‘

“Are you admitting your mistake yet?”

“No!”
