Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 168 Cherise the Fool?

As if he could read her mind, Damien spoke softly. “This mall belongs to the Lenoirs.”

Then, it made sense why the mall was open only for them. “But the weekend is the time. when malls make the most profit. Closing abruptly like this would cause losses, wouldn’t it?” Cherise asked.

Damien smiled gently. “This mall’s in the Lenoir name, but it’s actually owned by Tristan. If it loses money, that’s on him.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “Then so be it!” Her determined tone elicited a chuckle from Damien. “You dislike him that much, huh?”

“Of course!” Just the mention of the name made Cherise feel disgusted.

“He’s not inherently a bad person,” the man sighed. “since you want him to suffer, we should take more of those expensive things.”

He continued, “We don’t need to pay for anything here.”

Cherise responded with an enthusiastic cheer. “Oh yeah!” But what did he mean by ‘expensive things? She didn’t have a clue.
