Chapter 117 Misunderstanding
“Mm-hmm.”
Jacob awkwardly took up the cup and had a sip of tea. “This is what happened. On the day you got injured, Mr. Hampson called me and asked me to come over personally to treat it. But, that day…”
Jacob let out a cough in embarra*sment. “My favorite TV show released the latest episode. I was too lazy to head out, so I sent lan to treat your injury. Damien was unhappy that I sent his love rival to treat you and warned me to avoid letting you guys meet.”
He scratched his head awkwardly before continuing, “I took his words seriously. But dismissing lan has nothing to do with Damien.”

Jacob took another sip of tea and explained, “Actually, the reason I dismissed simple. My clinic is small and doesn’t have many patients. He’s an ambitious person stays in my clinic, he can’t go far and fulfill his career aspirations. He kept asking me why I didn’t promote my medical skills. I felt that our visions are different, so I let him go. allowing him to explore the wider world out there.”
After finishing explaining, Jacob yawned in resignation. “It’s as simple as that. What were you guys thinking? You even disturbed my nap.
Cherise was rendered speechless after hearing from Jacob, not expecting such a reason.
She looked at Jacob before glancing at Damien. Then, she turned to look at Jacob again. “You can’t be bluffing me, right?”
“Why would I?” Jacob lay listlessly on the table. “If you don’t believe me, go and ask Ian. I even wished him all the best when I dismissed him.”
Cherise pursed her l*ps and dug her nails into her palm. So… It seems like I misunderstood Damien.
She bit her l*ps and looked at Randall, who was sitting silently in the corner. “Why then. was Cressa admitted to the mental hospital?”
Randall didn’t expect Cherise to ask him directly. He was startled for a second before standing up and greeting Cherise politely. “Mrs. Lenoir, I believe that’s our family affair.”
“Similar to Jacob’s, your matters are no longer as simple as family affairs.”
Damien took a sip of tea and said coldly, “Tell us. Why did you send your daughter to the mental hospital?”

Randall’s face reddened. He lowered his head and mumbled, “Mr. Lenoir, can I refuse to answer this question?”
Damien smirked and answered with an icy-cold voice. “What do you think?”
His tone and attitude were as aloof and domineering as always.
Looking distressed, Randall took a deep breath. “Please don’t misunderstand, Mrs. Lenoir. It wasn’t Mr. Lenoir’s idea to send Cressa to the mental hospital. Mr. Lenoir intended to send Cressa to a secluded school abroad to learn some life lessons, but my wife and I can’t. bear to be apart from her. The girl has been spoiled since she was young. I know she was reckless and often offended you…. So, I decided to forge a mental checkup report and confine her to a special ward in the hospital. This is so that she won’t suffer. At the same time, she can no longer provoke you, while my wife and I can still see her….
Cherise was utterly dumbfounded to hear the story. What kind of absurdity is this? He confined her daughter in a mental hospital to keep her in the country and see her daily!
