Chapter 189 Uncle and Father-In-Law

“For simple farmers like us, five thousand is considered a lot of money!”

Damien picked up his teacup and took a sip. “Mister village chief, your talent for stirring up trouble is

remarkable to say the least.”

“As head of the village, not only did you not treat everyone fairly, but you kept wanting to start

problems.”

“I truly do not understand what the villagers like about you. And why would they choose. you to be

village chief.”

The village chief’s lips turned white with anger, but he restrained himself. “What makes you say that,

Mr. Lenoir?”

“I’m just trying to find a solution everyone will be happy with. How can you call that ‘starting

problems”?”

Damien chuckled.

“Firstly, you believed Vivian’s claims without fully understanding the situation and asking me about my

version of events. You were already convinced I was guilty. Does that sound like justice to you?”

“If I didn’t have video evidence, it would have been impossible to clear my name from these

allegations.”

The chief’s eyes darkened. “That was my mistake. Vivian is from my village. I saw her disheveled state

and thought…”

“Secondly, when an incident like this happened in your village, your first thought was not to report it to

the police but to settle it privately. It may look like it’s for everyone’s good, but in reality?”

“You said that five thousand is considered a lot of money in your village. But why didn’t. you advise Ben

Shaw otherwise when he asked me for fifty thousand?”

“Oh. You probably thought that I had a lot of money, didn’t you?”

“This afternoon, the man who lingered around my car and searched up its price on the internet was

your son, wasn’t it?”

The chief’s expression was drained of all color, l…”

“You sent your son to confirm the price of my car to find out how wealthy I was. And when

Ben asked me for fifty thousand, you didn’t even blink an eye. All of you probably agreed on this

amount beforehand, right?”

Everyone was shocked.

Damien wasn’t from their village.

But everything he said was believable.

The chief’s son did indeed come back from town in the afternoon. The chief and Ben’s family did spend

the afternoon together, and they were indeed related.

It was clear who was telling the truth.

The crowd began to murmur among themselves. The chief, pale now from fear, attempted to defend

himself. “I was momentarily confused. If I had kept a clear head, I would have stopped Ben.”

Unfortunately for him, his excuses were shaky, and no one believed him.

Damien yawned. “If you can’t even keep a clear head during a time like this, maybe you shouldn’t be

chief.”

The chief’s expression shifted. “You’re not from our village. Who are you say I can’t be chief?”

“I have no say, of course.”

Damien smiled faintly. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cherise. “For your uncle.”

Cherise carefully presented the tea to Elvis.

Elvis couldn’t tell what Damien’s intentions were, but how he handled the situation was

remarkable.

That was the only reason Elvis accepted the cup and drank it.

Damien waited until Cherise took the empty cup from Elvis before calmly continuing, “Elvis is Cherise’s

uncle. But as we all know, Cherise grew up without parents. So, it can be said there’s no difference

between her uncle and father.”

“If we follow this logic, Elvis Shaw can be considered my father-in-law.”

“My father-in-law has lived in this village for forty to fifty years. Now that he has a son-in- law who has

qualifications like me, he’s being blackmailed by the village chief and his

relatives.”
