Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 849 It’s All Heather’s Fault

Cherise opened her eyes and met Heather’s inquisitive gaze. Heather seemed to be silently asking. “Are you okay?”

Cherise responded reassuringly and smiled at Heather, calming her anxious heart.

Ever since Cherise arrived at the institute, Heather had been worried about her. Although she knew Cherise had Damien’s protection, she was concerned that Damien wouldn’t be able to arrive on time if Mr. Whitlock were to bully Cherise.

As Cherise’s friend, Heather felt responsible for ensuring Cherise’s safety. Now that Cherise confirmed she was okay, Heather felt relieved.

Meanwhile, Mr. Whitlock stood behind Heather. His eyes lit up as he looked at the steaming cup of tea.

Suddenly, he grabbed the cup and hurled it towards Heather.

Heather was focused on Cherise and was unaware of the danger behind her. On the other hand, Cherise saw Mr. Whitlock splashing the tea and wanted to pull Heather away. Unfortunately, it was too late.
