Chapter 870 Dreaded Confrontation
“Don’t you dare speak ill of my mother. If you repeat anything bad about her, I won’t let it slide!”
“Hehe, you little brat, you think you can intimidate me? Who do you think you are? You’re not even as tall as a scallion, yet you act like a big shot…”
“Ah—!!! Let go, let go!”
The woman’s screams pierced the air.
Cherise sprinted towards the source of the commotion.
Her heart pounded with fear as she witnessed her son, Soren, sinking his teeth into the woman’s arm, eliciting cries of agony.
As the pain overwhelmed her, the woman’s rationality vanished, and she raised her hand to strike Soren’s head.
Cherise’s eyes widened in alarm, and she dashed forward with frantic urgency.
However, she was still too distant to intervene.
In the nick of time, a man’s hand, with elegant and elongated fingers, intercepted the woman’s arm just before it could contact Soren’s head.
“I—!”
Despite her efforts, the woman found herself unable to reach Soren. Frustrated, she glared at the man confronting her. “You-!”
“A responsible adult wouldn’t resort to violence against a child,”
The man’s deep voice resonated. Simultaneously, his other hand expertly cradled Soren in his arms. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine…”
Soren’s tearful voice trembled as he nestled into Damien’s embrace. “Daddy, I didn’t mean to bite her…”
“She kept saying bad things about Mom!”
Furrowing his brow, Damien cradled Soren tenderly. “I know, Soren. You’re not at fault.”
“Yeah.”
Soren’s eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t want to go to this kindergarten anymore! The parents there are all mean!”
“The kindergarten teachers talk bad about Mommy too!”
Damien’s heart ached at Soren’s distress. “Alright.”
“Mr. Lenoir…”
Hearing what Soren said, the kindergarten teacher beside paled.
While she had engaged in discussions with her colleagues and privately ridiculed Cherise for the plagiarism scandal, she hadn’t intended to upset Damien.
After all, the Lenoir Group was the silent investor behind the kindergarten!
“Tomorrow, the Lenoir Group will withdraw its investment.”
Damien’s stern gaze swept the room, settling on the teacher and the angry mother. “Since my son finds this kindergarten unsatisfactory, there’s no reason for it to continue.”
After lifting Soren into his arms, the man turned towards the elevator.
Upon pivoting, he noticed Cherise standing nearby, tears glistening in her eyes.
Furrowing his brows slightly, he questioned, “What brings you here?”
The kindergarten teacher interjected nervously, “Mr. Lenoir, I only called Mrs. Lenoir…”
Damien’s brows knitted in frustration. “You called me first, then my wife?”
“Do you presume that I am incapable of handling my son’s affairs or that I lack the means to settle the compensation demanded by this aggrieved parent?”
The teacher faltered under Damien’s gaze, rendered speechless by his imposing presence.
The mother sneered, addressing Cherise, “Tsk tsk, hiding under a hat and mask? Let’s see the face of the shameless plagiarist!”
With a swift motion, she ripped off Cherise’s disguise.
Simultaneously, Damien attempted to rush forward but was hindered by carrying Soren, and he couldn’t match the woman’s speed.

Chapter 870 Dreaded Confrontation
With a resounding “smack,” the woman forcefully threw Cherise’s hat and mask.
“So this is the face of Cherise, the plagiarist!”
The woman shouted indignantly, “I never expected someone who appears so respectable to lack any sense of propriety!”
