Chapter 274 Mandy’s Boyfriend, Damien
Cherise held Lucy’s hand. “Shall we go visit Jacob’s clinic?”
Lucy became interested. “Sure!”
She found Cherise more charming, being her own happy self without vanity.
“Cherise Shaw.” Just as Cherise and Lucy walked toward the door, Jessie stopped Cherise. “Mandy is buying the cla*s a meal at Viopril Palace tonight. Hope you can join us.”
“Viopril Palace? Haven’t you had enough at that place last time?” Cherise curled her l*ps.
Last time, when Sunny organized for the whole cla*s to eat at Viopril Palace and extorted money from Cherise, Jessie was also one of the organizers.
Jessie’s face darkened. She blocked Cherise with her hand. “You’re not the host today, so don’t overthink. Mandy is treating us tonight. Her boyfriend, Damien, will be paying the bill. You’re invited for a free meal. So, are you coming or not?”
Cherise arched her brow. “Mandy’s boyfriend, Damien?”
Jessie nodded. “I bet you don’t know yet. While you were resting at home, your husband became close with Mandy.”
The incident with Ian caused a sensation in the city, so Cherise’s cla*smates were aware of it, too.
They were jealous of Cherise’s fortune and, at the same time, disdained her for marrying Damien for the sake of money.
Humans tend to choose to believe what they thought was true. So, even after witnessing lan behaving hysterically at the news press and Old Mr. Belcourt standing up to testify, Cherise’s cla*smates, whom Jessie led, still believed there was some kind of entanglement between Cherise and Lennon.
As such, when Mandy hinted at her intimate relationship with Damien, they chose to believe it.
“Cherise, please don’t blame Mandy. Any ordinary woman wouldn’t turn down the pursuit of an outstanding man. Moreover, you and Damien have long parted ways, haven’t you? You’re seeing Lennon, so why can’t Damien see Mandy?”
“Is that how Mandy brainwashed you guys?”
Lucy grabbed Jessie’s collar indignantly. “Mind your tongue! The news stated clearly that there’s nothing between Cherise and Lennon. What do you mean Cherise and Damien have parted ways? I think your parents are the ones who have parted ways!”
Before Cherise could stop Lucy, Mandy walked over, accompanied by her other cla*smates. “Jessie! What are you talking about?”

She turned to look at Cherise and said, “Cherise, please don’t misunderstand. Jessie was overthinking.”
Her tone was gentle, her attitude generous, and her smile was flawless, as if she had undergone professional training.
Then, she feigned an angry look and glanced at Jessie. “Please stop talking nonsense in front of Cherise. There’s nothing between Dame and 1.”
Jessie broke free from Lucy’s grip on her collar. “Mandy, you’re too kind. You always claim there’s nothing between you and Damien, but you’re already calling him Dame. He even allows you to use his driver and car. Isn’t that obvious enough?”
Then, Jessie darted an arrogant glance at Cherise. “You were almost late this morning. I guess you must have come by public bus, right? The car that used to pick you up and the driver, Mr. Kolson, have been serving Mandy since last week.”
