Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197 Lucy's Fees
Nevertheless, there were numerous things Lennon owed Lucy an apology for, so there was no harm in her arrangement of this setup.

Little did she know, the occupant of the booth behind her, his features concealed beneath a hood and a mask, turned out to be Lennon.

The coffee cup was firmly held in his grasp.

It appeared that, despite her weakened state, she still had the mental acuity to challenge Violet and criticize his performance in bed. It seemed that there was no reason for him to rush there in a worry.

Lucy's words deepened the frown on Violet's face. "You aren't concerned that I might tell Lenn the words that you've spouted to me today!?" Violet demanded.

"Not at all," Lucy replied nonchalantly.

She continued to play with the lighter, her demeanor relaxed. "If you decide to tell Lennon, he might come running back to me to prove himself once more."

"When it comes down to that, you'll have to face the consequences."

Violet clenched her jaws, her veins appearing more pronounced. "Lucy! Have you lost any sense of propriety!"

"Perhaps it is Ms. Belcourt who lacks propriety."

Lucy could no longer contain herself as she reached for a cigarette, lighting it as she spoke. "I still remember the things you did to me five years prior, Miss Belcourt."

"You came perilously close to ending my life, almost running me down, and nearly striking my son."

"After committing such atrocities, I had hoped you might show some remorse."

"Yet nothing's changed. You're the same as usual, strutting like a peacock, being condescending and haughty."

Violet's voice dripped with disdain as she taunted, "The only reason why I'm here is precisely to show you just how much better I am. There's nothing you can do about it."

"Lucy, let's face it. You're the one who lost the battle," Violet added with a smirk.

"I don't regret letting go of a man like Lennon to pass to you," Lucy remarked coolly.

"The topic at hand here is you, Ms. Belcourt."

Lucy exhaled a smoke ring leisurely and placed the meticulously prepared invoice on the table. "If you're interested in my services, I'm available."

"If you want me to see you two being lovey-dovey, I can do that too. Need photos? I can get it done too."

"That being said, payment upfront is non-negotiable," Lucy continued, her tone unwavering.
