Chapter 183 Damien’s Bold Defense
There was pure happiness and endearment in Cherise’s voice.
Damien’s deep voice filled the air, “Everyone’s heard it. Cherise, being with me has only brought joy and fulfillment.”
He tightened his embrace around Cherise, and his eyes softened as he continued, “And ast for Mr. Shaw’s words, they hold no truth. Cherise’s happiness has only deepened since. she’s been with me.”
“Besides,” he continued with a smirk, “I am sure that I outshine all the other sons-in-law in the village, whether in looks or height.”
“And to add, my family has a prosperous business which has ensured our financial standing surpassing all the other sons-in-law in this village.”
“As for education, manners, and all the rest, if any of you have a son-in-law who even comes close to my caliber, please enlighten us.
A deafening silence settled in.
“No takers?” he quipped, his tone laced with sarcasm.
The wicked grin on Damien’s face widened as he continued sarcastically, “Oh, Ben, you’re so concerned about Cherise’s well-being, questioning if a disabled man like me can make her happy.”
“I can’t help but wonder, though,” he continued as he raised an eyebrow mockingly, “is your daughter’s husband, the one currently behind bars, capable of providing happiness. to your daughter?”
Murmurs erupted among the villagers, each nodding in agreement at the undeniable truth in Damien’s words.
Sure, he might be disabled, but at least he’s better than Vivian’s husband, who’s constantly in and out of jail, right?
For Shaw to claim Cherise isn’t happy marrying a disabled person, does that mean his daughter is happy with someone like her husband?
Damien’s words stirred murmurs among the villagers as Shaw and Vivian’s faces. darkened.
Vivian gritted her teeth and lashed out, “Why are you suddenly talking about. my husband? He might be in jail, but he can still protect me when he’s out! Unlike you,
1/3
marrying a disabled man who can’t defend you!”
“Is that so?” Damien sniggered, a smug appearance adorning his face.
The man’s words had barely left his mouth when his figure appeared in front of Vivian. A resounding slap echoed as his palm struck Vivian’s face.
He then calmly retreated to Cherise’s side.
“I don’t usually resort to violence against women,” Damien said calmly.
