Chapter 121 Why Do You Have to Deny It
Damien took out a name card and handed it to lan. “Bring this to the research institute for registration tomorrow morning. Someone will be there to assist you.”
lan trembled as he took over the black card embossed with gold words. He gazed at Damien with complicated emotions. It took a while before he could bring himself to say thank you!
Damien waved his hand. “Don’t mention it. If you want to express your gratitude, thank Cherise. She thinks you’re capable and doesn’t want your talents wasted in your hometown. So, she rushed over.”
Cherise shook her head and said, “No, no. You don’t have to thank me, Ian. It’s my hubby’s idea to send you to the research institute. I wouldn’t have been this smart to think of sending you there.” She giggled.
Ian fell silent, thinking Cherise was right. If Damien hadn’t made an offer, a country girl like Cherise wouldn’t have thought of using Damien’s privilege to get him into a research institute.
At this thought, Ian wore a rueful smile. “Mr. Lenoir, you asked all medical institutions in Adania to blacklist me before this. Yet now, you offered to send me to a research institute. Is this a way of compensating me?”
Cherise knitted her brows, thinking they had clarified with Jacob regarding lan’s dismissal. “My hubby didn’t blacklist you.”
Ian’s expression turned solemn. “He didn’t? If I were merely fired from Jacob’s clinic, I wouldn’t have been this desperate to the point I had to return to my hometown. I’m in my current situation, thanks to Mr. Lenoir.”
Damien frowned. He wouldn’t bother going out of his way to boycott an insignificant doctor like Ian. If he really wanted to make things difficult for lan, he had countless ways. to pursue him directly.
“Hubby?” Puzzled, Cherise turned to look at Damien.
“Mr. Philips, there must be some misunderstanding.”
Ian narrowed his eyes. “That’s impossible! The employers clearly stated that the Lenoirs. notified them not to hire me.”
Damien pondered upon it for a moment and said, “It seems like it’s not a misunderstanding but framing.”
1/2
Ian gritted his teeth indignantly, seeing Damien’s calm look.
I told the truth, yet he claimed it was a misunderstanding. I insisted it wasn’t a misunderstanding, but he said it was framing. He was the one who gave the order. How could he pretend as if he was uninvolved?
“Mr. Lenoir, just admit it if you’re the one who arranged it. Why do you have to deny it? Even if you admit it, I can do nothing to you!” Ian became worked up.
Damien smiled. “I didn’t do it. Why should I admit it?” Then, he turned to look at Cherise. “What do you think?”

🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
