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 a*sist 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. Phil*ps, 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?”
Cherise had just distrusted Damien wrongfully, so she utterly believed in him at that moment. Pressing her l*ps, she gazed at lan sincerely. “lan, this must be a misunderstanding. Maybe they didn’t want to hire you, so they made an excuse.”
Perceiving Cherise’s complete trust in Damien, lan was at a loss for words. Finally, he spat through gritted teeth, “Mr. Lenoir, you’re indeed shrewd.”
“You too.”
Ian’s face reddened. With that, he took his luggage and walked past Cherise and Damien. without saying goodbye.
He gripped the name card from Damien in his hand. It represented his hope for the future.
Watching Ian leave, Cherise sighed and said, “Hubby, lan must have misunderstood you, just like me before.”
