Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767 Business Deals 

“Aren’t you worried that Zachary will be devastated when he wakes up?” 

Walter’s face turned a shade paler. 

He cleared his throat and clarified, “How could I possibly be ignorant of Zachary’s plight?” 

“I’m the one responsible for his medical expenses!” 

“Besides, he’s bound to wake up sooner or later, right?” 

“I negotiated a business partnership with Mr. Lenoir to support Miles’ family. Zachary will undoubtedly appreciate my efforts when he awakens. Why would he be devastated?” 

He gave Cherise a mildly displeased look and said, “Cherry, if you had told me all this when you were still engaged to Zachary, I might have been more willing to listen.” 

“But look at you now.” 

“Are you worried that Mr. Lenoir may misinterpret your concern for Zachary now that you’re marri 

Walter’s words seemed to caution Cherise about Damien’s feelings, but his underlying motive to instigate trouble was evident. He glanced in Damien’s direction, suggesting that he was bothered by Cherise and Zachary’s relationship. 

In reality, Damien was utterly unfazed.

he man snapped and stood up. He grabbed Cherise’s hand and spat, “I get Uncle Walter’s proposal. I’ll consider the collaboration when I’m d@mn well ready.” 

“Forget this meal!” 

The pair left the place in a huff, their faces contorted with fury and frustration. 

Walter sat at the dining tabie, biting his lip in frustration. He glared in the direction where Damien had exited and muttered under his breath, “What a show-off!” 

“He’s simply a man who relies on his family’s fortune!” 

“Enough” 

Patricia looked helplessly at Walter, then at Chad, and sighed, “Patience.” 

“Have you not realized, given the close relationship between Cherise and Zachary, Damien’s relationship with Zachary can’t be strained?” 

“You didn’t even pretend to care for Zachary; you just jumped straight to financial matters. Now, you’ve messed it up, haven’t you?” 

After saying this, Patricia took a deep breath, hurried towards the exit, and huffed, “I’ll go out and check on 

them.” 

“I’m furious!” 

Cherise clenched her fists as she exited Miles Manor, and a wave of violent fury rose inside her.
