Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 865

Chapter 865 Sibling Strategies 

“Why the charade of being virtuous?” 

“A hypocrite!” 

Sebastian lounged on the car’s leather seat, a sardonic smile on his lips. “I merely suggested to afford myself a suitable pretext to encounter her once more.” 

Yolanda arched an eyebrow. “So, you used me?”

“You’re my sister; who else would I employ?” 

Sebastian’s smile remained light as he gave a black card to Yolanda nonchalantly. “Five hundred thousand, and this affair concludes.” 

“Fair enough.” 

Yolanda pursed her lips, stashing the black card away before fixing Sebastian with a direct gaze. “Do you genuinely fancy that Cherise?” 

Sebastian raised a discerning brow. “Indeed.” 

“I hold no fondness for her.” 

Yolanda’s lips formed a thin line. “Even if she parts ways with Damien in the future and aligns with you, I shan’t coexist with her harmoniously.” 

“I’ve no need for your concord with her.” 

Sebastian chuckled softly, his gaze drifting into the distance with a profound air. “You’ve yet to elucidate your motive for pilfering her manuscript.” 

“Why steal her work and level plagiarism accusations in a field foreign to you, medicine?”

Yolanda sighed, casting him a resentful glance. “It was Gwenn’s demand.” 

“If I spurn her request, do you think she’d acquiesce to Tristan, of the Lenoir lineage, hastily selling Lenoir Group shares to us at a discount?”

his handsomeness…” 

Observing Yolanda’s enamored countenance, Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. “Besides his appearance, is your eagerness to lay claim to Damien rooted in his business acumen?” 

Yolanda faltered, realizing her misstep. 

Swiftly, she averted her gaze. “Primarily due to his allure!” 

“Well, I’m not averse to a contest.” 

Sebastian’s smile softened as he gazed out the car window. “I’m cognizant of my sister’s desire to find a business rival, ensuring the Weiss dynasty isn’t solely within my purview henceforth.” 

Yolanda’s complexion drained of color. “I never contemplated such matters.” 

“It’s inconsequential.” 

“Now that you’ve targeted Damien, I’m content to await his ascent to becoming my brother–in–law, thereafter engaging in competition.”
