Chapter 703 A New Discovery About Cherise.
“Three years with Damien, yet you haven’t even scratched the surface. If you had done your due diligence, you would know that he is not only the heir to Lenoir Group, but he is also currently managing Shaw Group. Just so you know, Shaw Group’s success in Adania is second only to Lenoir Group itself.”
Ursula’s eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. “Shaw Group…” she muttered, the name echoing in the room.
Although she had been aware of Damien’s control over Shaw Group, realizing its significance hit her like sudden shock. She vaguely recalled past discussions with Rowena, speculating about the origin of the name “Shaw.” At the time, unaware of Cherise’s existence, they had naively assumed it was Damien’s mother’s maiden name.
Returning to the present, with Cherise standing before her, her words resonated with a newfound clarity. The ‘Shaw’ in Shaw Group… it was Cherise’s ‘Shaw?
“Precisely,” Cherise confirmed, a faint smile playing on her lips as she observed Ursula’s dawning understanding. “Not only am I the chairwoman of Shaw Group, which falls under Damien’s control, but I also own a quarter of his assets. Additionally, my children are Damien’s legitimate children, entitled to their share of his wealth.”
“So, legally, if anything were to happen to Damien, as he remains unmarried, all his assets will be inherited by my children.”
With this, the woman glanced at Ursula with a subtle smile. “The children I brought here reside in a house where I own over a quarter of the shares. They have every right to utilize its amenities and resources; what’s wrong with that?”
“Ms. Ursula, I would advise you to pray for Damien’s continued well-being. If anything were to happen to him, everything you possess will rightfully become my children’s inheritance. By then, forget about cars and houses; I won’t even spare a dime for your Hospital bills.”
“You-!” Ursula gritted her teeth, ready to retort, but her eyes caught on the man leaning against the entrance pillar. She fell silent abruptly.
Biting her lip, she took a deep breath. While Cherise remained oblivious to Damien’s presence, Ursula hastily tried to twist her words. “So, Ms. Shaw, you’re quite eager for something to happen to Damien, aren’t you?”
“Not exactly,” Cherise replied with a faint smile. “But wouldn’t it be interesting if he encountered a minor setback, nothing too serious, just enough for me to swoop in and save the day? Then, I could finally live a life of carefree bliss, just like Ms. Rowena, with someone catering to my every whim, even my sister’s. I could be as audacious and demanding as I pleased.”
She looked at Ursula, her smile a mixture of seven parts mockery and three parts disdain. “Doesn’t that sound appealing?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ursula’s face turned ashen. She quickly clenched her teeth and turned to Damien in the distance. “Mr. Lenoir… I… Rowena is not that kind of person…. She wouldn’t even dream of such things…”
Her frantic eyes and voice caused Cherise to furrow her brow and instinctively glance back.
In the distance, a man in a sleek black suit stood gracefully, leaning against a carved pillar with one hand, fait smile playing on his lips.
Seeing Cherise turn, the man who had been observing the drama could no longer remain a spectator. He stood up, glanced at Ursula, and said, “You go attend to your sister. I need to have a word with
Cherry”
Ursula pursed her lips. With Damien present, she didn’t dare to be defiant anymore. She could only obediently ascend the stairs, but not before casting a hostile glare at Cherise.
Only when the sound of Ursula shutting the door upstairs reached them did Damien shrug casually and slowly approach Cherise.
He gazed at her affectionately and leaned in gradually, saying. “It seems I’ve just overheard a rather intriguing version of Mrs. Lenoir.”
