Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 Beyond Broken Ties 

“In the future, there will be no more disputes, no more rivalry. Everyone can go their separate ways; wouldn’t that be great?” 

“But…” 

Lennon, standing nearby, shook his head with a faint smile and jeered, “Even if you destroy Lenoir Group, what then?” 

“In the future, even if you and Dame manage to rebuild a thriving business, can you guarantee that 

your descendants won’t tear each other apart for the spoils?” Maeve retorted; her gaze was sharp and cold. 

“The downfall of the Lenoir Group doesn’t rest on the shoulders of the organization itself but on the twisted ambitions of the Lenoir family members.” 

Maeve glared at Lennon. “Why do you care?” 

“Frankly, it’s none of my business,” he said casually. 

Lennon shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch. “I’m merely disturbed witnessing the annihilation of a once esteemed and respected establishment, all because of your impetuous vendetta.” 

She hurried to the company early in the morning, determined to meet Damien and make him comply with her demands. She intended to exploit Raymond’s recent mistakes, exacerbate the situation, and involve the entire Lenoir Group. 

Although it was a minor case involving counterfeit goods, she believed that sensationalizing it could tarnish the reputation of the Lenoir Group. 

Lennon noticed the divergent problem-solving approaches of Damien and Maeve. 

In the past, Damien had once proposed holding the Lenoir Group accountable for his parents” tragic fate. 

But as time unfolded, his perspective changed. 

He hoped for the truth to surface so Raymond could face the consequences he deserved and perhaps find redemption for being too weak to save them when he was younger. 

Yet, Maeve remained stubborn to destroy it all. 

“What happened with your parents back then… 

Raymond closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. “If I were to claim innocence, I’m certain you wouldn’t believe me.”

“But that incident…” 

He let out a bitter laugh and looked up at Maeve, “Maeve, thirteen years ago, you tried to tarnish my name with baseless accusations, hoping to make me pay for what happened to your parents.” 

“I did not expect you to still hold onto that hatred from the past.” 

“Yes, I misled your mother, convincing her to transfer her shares to my name.” 

“But I never intended to harm anyone, Raymond said in remorse. 

Maeve’s grip tightened on the wheelchair’s handles; her voice trembled in fury. “It’s been years, Uncle Raymond. Your insistence won’t resurrect the past.” 

She fixed her steely gaze on him. “Think logically. Who had a motive to kill my parents, if not you?” 

Old Mr. Lenoir remained silent. 

After a pregnant pause, he sighed, glancing at Damien, who was tenderly attending to Cherise’s wounds. “Damien, what’s your take on this?” 

“I can’t say much. You have the upper hand. 

Damien nonchalantly placed the object he held aside and delicately wiped the corner of Cherise’s mouth. “Will my words ever matter to any of you?” 

Nobody in the Lenoir family had acknowledged him ever since he was a little boy. 

Not his grandfather, nor his uncle and aunt…
