Alain’s lips grew thin with disapproval as he regarded Damien’s gesture of ‘goodwill’.
Nevertheless, he remained composed in front of Damien.
His daughter had caused a scene early in the morning at the entrance of someone else’s company, leaving him no choice but to sit there quietly, adopting a humble demeanor as he gazed at Damien.
“I’m curious as to why Mr. Alain is so eager to meet with me. Is there something of importance that you wish to discuss?” Damien elegantly crossed his legs and signaled for Frances to pour coffee for Alain.
Alain cleared his throat awkwardly and spoke, “Um, Mr. Lenoir, I have come here today to offer my apologies.”
Damien raised an eyebrow inquisitively, “Apologies? I do not recall any wrongdoing on your part, Mr.
Alain.”
Taking a deep breath, Alain continued, “I am here to apologize on behalf of my daughter, Yolanda.”
“Mr. Lenoir, Yolanda is young and tends to act impulsively when faced with challenges, which led her to disrupt the operations of the Lenoir Group early this morning.”
“I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive her, considering that my son has already been harmed by your actions, and my daughter is still a minor… Could you perhaps request the authorities to release Yolanda?”
Damien lifted the corners of his lips slightly; then, he gracefully picked up the porcelain teacup and took a sip. “I am afraid that decision is not within my power to make.”
“Miss Yolanda has disturbed public order, and this is a matter that requires more than just my say.”
Setting down the teacup gently, he added, “I regret to inform you that I cannot assist you in this matter.”
Alain clenched his fist tightly, and his face grew grimmer by the second.
After a moment of silence, he tightened his lips and addressed Damien earnestly. “Mr. Lenoir, I have come here with sincerity.”
“Yolanda has led a sheltered life and possesses a delicate temperament. It would be unbearable for her to spend a night in a detention center.”
“I implore you to show mercy towards Yolanda, especially considering that you have a daughter of your
Own.”
Damien smiled wryly.
Raising his gaze to meet Alain, he spoke coldly, “Indeed, I almost forgot that you also have a daughter, Mr. Alain.”
Casting a glance in Cherise’s direction with a faint smile, he continued, “In fact, I would like to remind

you that my wife is also someone’s daughter.”
Alain froze.
“Yes, I am aware.”
“Mrs. Lenoir is a member of the Tanner family, and I have been aware of this fact for quite some time.”
“Therefore.”
Damien’s eyes, dark as obsidian, bore into Alain. “If the Tanner family were to discover my wife’s current predicament, what hells of fury would they unleash?”.
“You are familiar with the methods of the Tanner family.”
“In that scenario, not only your daughter but your entire family could find themselves behind bars.” Alain’s face turned pale as a ghost, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
Dabbing his forehead with a tissue, he spoke cautiously, “Mr. Lenoir, I urge you not to jest.”
“I am well-informed about the recent events.”
“Sebastian received his due punishment, and injuring his leg was a lenient act on your part!”
“I have warned Sebastian numerous times to mend his ways, but he refused to heed my advice!”
“Mr. Lenoir, you may not be aware that even though Sebastian is my son by blood, he is also illegitimate. He resided with his grandmother until the age of fourteen or fifteen.”
“The relationship between Sebastian and our Weiss family is strained, and I do not hold much affection for this son of mine.”
“Therefore, Sebastian’s actions are in no way a reflection of our family!”
“If you seek retribution against Sebastian, Mr. Lenoir, I will not intervene!”
Damien chuckled softly, “Mr. Weiss, you are quite adaptable. You are willing to disown your own son just to prevent your daughter from spending a night in jail.”
