Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 321 Unrelenting Agony

Back then, there was a stark contrast between Mandy and Cherise. Little did she know, the elegant Mandy, oozing confidence and aloofness, had been meticulously molded to perfection. Little did anyone know, deep down, that a vulnerable little girl was residing within her. After all, she was merely nineteen years old.

As for Cherise, who was also nineteen, had her thoughts occupied with books and exams. day in and day out. However, the nineteen-year-old Mandy had already gone through the most excruciating pain.

“I won’t let that happen,” Cherise sighed deeply gently patting Mandy’s back. “My husband… your brother-in-law, he’s remarkable; he’s capable of anything. You need to trust us, alright?”

Mandy smiled softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

She remained silent for a while before eventually locking eyes with Cherise. “I don’t believe in him-I believe in you.”

With those words, the young girl’s features underwent a sudden distortion. A sharp surge of pain washed over her, causing her to unconsciously convulse and grasp Cherise’s hand, unintentionally leaving it crimson.

“Cherry!” Jacob rapidly approached, but Mandy clamped down on Cherise’s hand, turning it bright red.

Her complexion paling from the pain, Cherise showed no inclination to withdraw her

hand.

Cherise had witnessed her grandmother suffer heart attacks, but it was never like this, never this agonizing.

She closed her eyes and, after a moment, fixed her gaze on Jacob. “Is our only option to plead with S to destroy that control terminal?”

Jacob furrowed his brow. “Not exactly. My team found that the chip controlling her was manufactured by the Tanner Family in Europe. Given their knowledge of chip production, they likely possess the means to deactivate it.”

“Dame has already established contact with the Tanner Family,” Jacob continued, “but….it seems they are unwilling to share the method of deactivating the chips.”

Cherise pressed her lips together. “What if Damien and I approach S?”
