Chapter 81 Lucy and Jacob’s Common Interest
Damien smiled to himself, savoring his small victory. He called out to his housekeeper, “Send the voice message to Randall. Tell him I’m here to collect the debt that he owes me.”
Damien sighed as he rubbed his temples.
Cherise and Jacob did not apologize to Cressa till the end. However, the police did. nothing to them because they knew what had happened – after all, the red welt on Jacob’s face said everything.
After he had settled all that he needed to do, Jacob and Cherise left the police station.
As they were exiting the doors, a young woman dashed past them.
“Are you alright, Cherry?”
“I’m fine,” Cherise smiled at Lucy before tilting her head towards Jacob, adding, “he’s not too well, though.”
Lucy turned around to observe Jacob and the handprint on his face.
“Hi, I don’t believe we had the opportunity to meet yet. You are…?”
“This is my husband’s physician, Dr. Caldwell.”
“This is my close friend, Lucy. Lucy Staber.”
Jacob frowned. “Are you the ‘friend’ who prescribed the ‘special medication for men’ to Damien?”
Lucy, initially rather jovial, suddenly felt her guard go up. “Oh! Oh yes. That was me.”
Jacob jingled his car keys as he turned to the car park. “I guess we can say that we have something in common.”
Cherise turned towards the doctor, puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Jacob opened the car door dramatically before turning to Lucy with a devilish grin.
“Lucy and I have a common interest – we’re both extremely concerned with Damien’s nighttime activities.”
He then turned his attention towards Cherise while grinning to himself.
“Please tell us, how are you and Damien doing at night? Havin’ fun?”

Realization dawned on Cherise, causing her to blush furiously. “Hey! I… That’s a secret!”
Observing Cherise’s embarrassment, Jacob could not help but laugh to himself. Where did her ferocity go? She was going to beat up Cressa just now, but now, she’s blushing like a teenage girl thinking about her crush.
Damien won the jackpot this time. Cherise would never fight back even when Cressa insulted her. and yet whenever anyone insinuated anything unbecoming about Damien, she would fight back.
“Your Excellence, your ride has arrived. We will need to transport you ladies home soon.”
