Chapter 995 Unraveling Deceptions
While Sebastian had a penchant for dredging up the past in any circumstance, Damien found himself unable to follow suit.
Here, the assembly comprised entirely of journalists.
Surrounded by journalists both inside and outside, each one acting as a potential megaphone, he refrained from delving into Charisa’s history.
If Damien were to reveal the details of Charisa’s past troubles to Cherise, particularly how Charisa instructed Elvis to start a fire and cause harm, it would open a Pandora’s box of consequences.
Such revelations would impact Cherise and implicate several families associated with those events.
The Tanner, Miles, Lenoir, and Shaw families would all be thrust into the spotlight, facing scrutiny and. potential scandal.
This was especially concerning considering Charisa’s tragic demise five years earlier.
As Cherise’s husband, Damien couldn’t bear the thought of Charisa’s affairs being discussed and ridiculed.
“Is it too difficult to explain? Or are you deliberately avoiding it?”
“Is it that you can’t explain or that you haven’t found a way to explain it?” Sebastian’s smile was taunting. his words cutting.
With a furrowed brow, Sebastian’s hand moved to massage his temple, a troubled expression clouding his features. “This shouldn’t be happening,” he murmured.
“Damien, it’s been nearly a week since you drugged Cherise to erase her memory, hasn’t it?” Sebastian’s tone was accusatory, his words cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife.
“What’s the holdup? Still haven’t concocted a plan to deceive her after all this time?” He pressed, his gaze unwavering as he awaited a response.
“Or is it…”
His slender eyes briefly flicked towards Cherise, a silent challenge shimmering within their depths. “Or do
you dare to believe that Cherise will obediently adhere to your commands, naively trusting that this web of deceit will never unravel? Have you yet to contrive a scheme to ensnare her with falsehoods?”
Sebastian’s words ignited murmurs among the assembled onlookers, their whispers like a faint breeze through the room.
Cherise remained motionless, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.
Raising her gaze, her eyes now tinged with the crimson of raw emotion; she locked onto his.
“Is what he said true?” she demanded, her voice quivering with vulnerability.

“If…”
She sniffed, tears tracing silent paths down her checks. “If any elucidation exists for past events, I implore you to disclose it to me now.”
