Chapter 70 The Lenoirs.

Everything unfolded in a breathless rush. By the time Cherise and Ian regained their composure,

Damien had returned to his original position.

He sat indifferently in his wheelchair, covering the spot on Cherise where Lila pushed her with his large,

thick hand. “Does it hurt?” He asked.

“Nah,”

Cherise responded, her lips pressing together in a tight line. She lifted her eyes to look at Lila, who was

struggling to regain her stance. “Lila, you should calm down…

But calm was a distant horizon for Lila!

She was here to avenge Ian and to tilt his affections in her favor!

But in the end…

She had done nothing but embarrass herself in front of him.

While she was furiously muttering curses under her breath and attempting to stand, two men in black

suits appeared at the entrance of the room.

One of whom was the manager of the facility.

And the other, Lila’s superior, the supervisor at the sanatorium.

Lila was stunned for a moment, and her subsequent expression was one of overflowing gratitude.

Did her supervisor bring the manager along to seek justice on her behalf, knowing that she had been

assaulted?

She scrambled to her feet, thinking to herself that the bribes she had given to her supervisor had paid

off!

Standing at the doorway, her supervisor glanced at Lila with an irritated look, then briskly strode

towards her.

A flutter of excitement quivered within her, “Boss…”

‘Smack!”

Before Lila could utter another word, the supervisor slapped her across the face. The sharp crack of

the contact echoed through the hallway.

The slap left Lila dumbfounded.

“Boss…” She stuttered in disbelief.

Meanwhile, the manager of the sanatorium had approached Damien courteously. “Mr. Lenoir, if anyone

from the facility has offended you, we humbly ask for your forgiveness, please do not take it to heart…”

Standing at a distance, lan furrowed his brows deeply.

The manager of the sanatorium was his former lecturer and held a powerful reputation in the city of

Adania. He had treated numerous influential figures and was highly regarded by those from both the

lawful and the underworld circles.

Yet, this man, who was supposed to be a fearless figure, now behaved like a frightened rabbit and was

attempting to placate Damien Lenoir!

Ian’s eyes narrowed slightly. Who… Is this man?

Damien smiled faintly, “David, as you are aware, I am infamously known as the jinx.”

“I’ve taken a tour around your facility today, if it doesn’t go into liquidation soon, I’m afraid I won’t be

living up to my name.”

Manager David was thrown into a panic.

His eyes darted to Lila, still recoiling from the slap. “Get over here and apologize to Mr.

Lenoir!”

Lila, still reeling from shock, heard the manager’s orders and decided to let her intrusive thoughts win.

“Why should I apologize to him?!”

“He put his hands on Ian first!”

It was then that David noticed Ian’s presence in the laundry.

Frowning, he lowered his voice. “lan, you too, come and apologize to Mr. Lenoir!”

“Forget it.”

Damien gently let go of Cherise’s slender waist and put on a smile. “Let’s go home.”

David, now desperate, stepped forward to stand in Damien’s way, gesturing to the supervisor with his

eyes.

The supervisor furrowed his brows and glared at Lila angrily. “Do you realize who you are

messing with?” His voice was low and stern.

“If you don’t apologize right now, the facility might as well close its doors!”

Lila remained defiant. “What’s this blind man going to do?”

The supervisor threw another slap across her face. “Not all blind men are equal!’

“Not a single soul in Adania can afford to mess with this one!”

Seeing Lila’s stubborn defiance, the supervisor, frustration edging his voice, continued, “Ever heard of

the Lenoirs?”
