Chapter 323 Give it Our All 

Cherise bowed her head, releasing a deep sigh before meeting Damien’s gaze. the Tanner Family’s birthday banquet?” 

“When is 

“In a week,” Damien replied, exhaling with a sense of gravity. “We should depart tomorrow. The Tanners are very particular with customs and etiquette. We should move in well in advance to avoid being late.” 

Cherise pursed her lips and nodded, her mind gravitating toward Mandy’s predicament. “What are we going to do about Mandy? We can’t just let her suffer any longer.” 

Ever the reassuring presence, Damien consoled her while affectionately stroking her head. “Don’t fret. I’ve already arranged for the chips extracted from her to be securely stored. When she was at Sequoia, her body couldn’t receive signals, which indicates that remote. areas can obstruct these signals. The Wools knew that she had previously visited Sequoia.

Cherise nodded, embracing his neck and planting a steadfast kiss on his cheek. “My

Cherise blushed and hesitated. “Well… fundamentally, isn’t it the same thing?”

Damien persisted while pursing his lip playfully, “It’s not the same. In the future, when we quarrel, she’ll take your side.” 

Cherise blinked. “Um… What if we, well, just don’t get into arguments?” 

Before departing for Europe, Cherise paid a visit to her school. She had a particular
