Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 400 He Had Been Sincere

The Lenoir’s Manor had burned to ashes, and Maeve, Damien’s sister, was left burned and scarred by the fire. However, by some cruel twist of fate, Cherise got a second chance at life.

Cherise vividly remembered that ever since then, Elvis had refused to return to Adania. Whenever he drowned his sorrows in booze, he would blame himself for being wicked…

Cherise’s blood ran cold, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She stared at Maeve in shock. “Is that… is it true?”

“Absolutely!”

Maeve narrowed her eyes, burning with vengeful anger. “It’s all because of you that your uncle destroyed everything Damien and I had! We spent thirteen years living in fear while you married. into a wealthy family and enjoyed Damien’s love. Where’s the justice in that? That’s why I had Mandy interfere and take Damien away. I would rather see the two kids I raised together than let Damien dote on the murderer’s niece!”

Cherise’s tears finally welled up, and her vision blurred. “Does Damien know about this?”

“He didn’t know before, but he should know now.”

Maeve sneered, “By the way, you don’t know yet, do you? Elvis was arrested three days ago and confessed to what he did back then. If you doubt what I’m saying, you can ask him in person. I bet he’ll tell you the truth.”

Cherise trembled.
