Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 We Are Even 

“It’s blood from her nose after 1 hit her.” 

Jacob was rendered speechless. 

He quietly gave Cherise a thumbs-up. 

Still, Cherise refused to apologize to Cressa. 

Jacob had to persuade and plead with her before she agreed to meet Cressa with him. 

Moreover, he would be the one to apologize. 

Thus, he tugged Cherise by her sleeve and arrived at the office where Cressa was in. 

“Goodness! Cressa, your face!” The voice of a middle-aged woman sounded dramatically from inside. 

“Let me have a look. Did someone bite you? Which b*tch dare to do this to you?” 

Cressa cried and flung herself into the woman’s embrace. “Mom… You must avenge me…” 

Her father, Randall, scolded her the last time she taunted Cherise. Therefore, Cressa did tell Randall that she got into trouble again. Instead, she called her mother, Rhonda Candor. 

Jacob stood at the doorway. He could not help but feel apprehensive. 

Even though he dragged Cherise over to apologize, it seemed the matter could not be resolved with an apology. 

But the police would not release her unless they pay the bail. 

As Jacob was hesitating, Cherise pulled her arm from his hold. “I’ll continue kneeling 

She did not believe the police could lock her up forever, even if she refused to apologize. 

Jacob quickly grabbed her. “This can be resolved with an apology. Don’t you want to be with Damien during his surgery?” 

Cherise pursed her lips and paused. 

Jacob said Damien was having surgery to recover his vision. It was highly likely that Damien would be able to see again after the surgery.

Naturally, Cherise wanted to be the first person Damien saw when he woke up. 

Meanwhile, Cressa and Rhonda noticed noises from outside their room. 

They turned toward the door. 

Cressa put on a pitiful expression and pointed toward Cherise. “Mom! That’s the one!” 

“So, you did it!” Rhonda rolled up her sleeve and slapped Jacob’s face. “You called yourself a man. How dare you bite my daughter’s face? Have you no shame?” 

Rhonda’s slap sent the whole room into silence. 

Jacob widened his eyes in shock and was too furious to speak. 

Cressa turned pale. On the other hand, Cherise frowned and stepped forward to Jacob from Rhonda. “Madam, you hit the wrong person. It was I who bit Cressa.”

At Cherise’s words, Cressa pursed her lips and said, “Mom, it’s that girl who hit me.” 

Rhonda’s hand paused in midair. She frowned upon hearing Cherise and regarded the petite woman before her. 

Cherise was short. She looked so small and slim that the wind could blow her away. Her eyes shone like crystals, and her face looked delicate, like a doll. 

Rhonda’s frown deepened. She looked at her daughter. 

Cressa was tall. She was at least 170cm and weighed around 70kg.
