Chapter 701 Unveiling The Truth

“Damien is quite a catch, isn’t he? He was the heir to the Lenoir empire, with seemingly endless wealth

and power at his disposal. If I were in your sister’s shoes, I wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip away

either. Marriage certainly seems like the most logical course of action, wouldn’t you agree?”

Cherise’s eyes sparkled with amusement, but her smile sent a chilling vibe, causing Ursula to

instinctively

recoil.

Ursula stammered, her face turning crimson, and retorted, “You… what nonsense is this?! Weena is

not the woman you claim her to be; she’s definitely not some gold-digging opportunist! When she

rescued Damien, she had no knowledge of his wealth or position. If it weren’t for his public plea to find

the girl who saved him, she would have never sought any recognition or compensation!”

Ursula paused before declaring indignantly, her voice filled with righteous anger, “And who are you to

accuse my sister with such audacity? Three years ago, Damien was trapped in a fire. My sister,

Weena, bravely risked her own life to save him. Her feet were severely burned in the process, and she

still struggles to walk today. This is a debt Damien undeniably owes her!”

This was Ursula’s default counterargument, a defense mechanism honed to deflect criticism towards

her sister. However, this time, its impact on Cherise was far more profound than intended. While

Cherise was aware that Rowena had saved Damien, she didn’t know that she was the one who had

rescued him from the fire.

Despite their five-year estrangement, Cherise still held a flicker of affection for Damien. She had

entrusted Zachary with keeping her informed about his life. From his reports, Cherise understood that

the only major incident involving Damien was the fire three years ago. Yet, the one who pulled him from

the flames was not Rowena but Cherise herself.

The fire-resistant scrapbook, a tangible symbol of their enduring bond, had been rescued from the

flames, only to become a painful reminder of their past.

Cherise had inadvertently grabbed the scrapbook in the urgency of saving Damien, unaware of the

potential danger. It was only after Damien’s ambulance had departed that she realized the severity of

the burns on her right hand.

This secret she had closely guarded for years, for in the eyes of the world, Damien was her enemy. But

only Cherise knew that he would forever remain her beloved deep within her heart.

Tucked away in the hidden corners of her study lay a metal scrapbook, its weathered surface a

testament to the passage of time.

In the quietest hours of the night, when sleep eluded her, Cherise would reach for it. It was a portal to a

past filled with shared laughter and whispered secrets.

In hindsight, she realized that she and Damien had a deeper connection than she had ever

acknowledged. He took pleasure in exploring Shaw Village, her hometown, flipping through her photo

albums and diaries, trying to etch every smile and moment of hers in his mind and heart. And she, in

turn, found solace in those scrapbooks, clinging to the joy and laughter they had once shared.

Suddenly, Ursula’s voice broke the silence, its smugness unmistakable in her remark, “Humph! Are you

mesmerized? Impressed by my sister’s heroic actions, huh?”

She interpreted Cherise’s contemplative gaze as admiration for Rowena’s bravery and continued.

“Damien was a guest at the hotel where Weena worked when the fire broke out. Unaware of his

identity, she selflessly rushed into the blaze to save him. Her heroic act deserves all the comfort and

material rewards. she has received.”

Ursula’s words sharply contrasted with the cherished memories Cherise held.

Cherise replied with a measured smile, concealing the storm brewing within her. “I see. Your sister is

truly selfless and compassionate.”

Selfless and compassionate enough to claim credit for someone else’s deeds, to revel in Damien’s

gratitude, and to accept his compensation without a burdened conscience.
