Chapter 749 Are You My Real Savior
I haven’t hidden anything from you. Cherise did save you three years ago, but I saved you too!
“At first, I thought you were looking for me. However, not long ago, Cherise came back and claimed she was the one who saved you that day. That’s when I realized I had made a mistake! I’ve wanted to explain it, but you were always busy…”
Rowena crafted a convincing lie. She pretended she misunderstood and was not deliberately impersonating someone else.
“Dame…” Rowena called from behind.
Damien furrowed his brows. He turned around, squatted down, and gently tilted Rowena’s chin. “What did you call me?”
Rowena thought she saw a glimmer of hope and quickly called his name, “Dame! Please hear me out!”
However, a cold smile appeared on Damien’s l*ps before she could complete her sentence. “Who permitted you to call me that? You are to call me Mr. Lenoir. Don’t force my hands.”
Rowena stared into Damien’s ruthless gaze in shock. Despair gradually seeped into her heart.
Previously, she thought Damien’s kindness toward her was a sign of affection. She was even secretly glad that the woman who saved him died. Otherwise, Damien would surely be indebted to her.
Damien was tremendously kind to her, thinking that she saved his life. Rowena firmly believed she might be the only person he would marry if he failed to find his ex-wife.
After all, having spent three years by Damien’s side, she had witnessed him turn down numerous eligible ladies and reject countless women who willingly approached him.
Everyone envied her for having the chance to save Damien and be acknowledged by him.
If Cherise had not returned, Rowena had planned to seduce Damien soon.
After all, she was the only woman he was kind to. She mistook that kindness for affection until Cherise’s return changed everything.
Then, she noticed the look in his eyes when he gazed at Cherise. It was not only kindness but genuine affection. His eyes seemed to sparkle whenever he looked at Cherise.
On the other hand, even the little kindness in his eyes when he used to look at her completely vanished. upon Cherise’s return.
His
gaze
had turned so cold that she felt like she had plunged into a frozen lake during a severe winter. She did not doubt that Damien meant it when he threatened to hit her.
After a while, she laughed in despair. “Damien, hit me if you dare! You might as well kill me. Then everyone will know how heartless you are to the person who saved you! Three years ago, I sacrificed my legs to save you. Is this how you repay me?”
Damien narrowed his eyes. His gaze was filled with indifference and mockery. “How exactly did you injure

your legs? Do you want me to reenact it for you?”
Rowena narrowed her eyes and laughed bitterly. “Are you sure you dare to treat me this way? Everyone knows I saved your life Have you considered what others would think if you mistreat me?”
“Imagine people found out the president of the prestigious Lenoir Group abusing his savior in such a manner? Since you dare to hurt your avior, what more would you do to future business partners? No one would dare to collaborate with you in the future”
Rowena’s repeated reference to herself as his savior infuriated Damien. He despised it when Rowena uttered that word because it reminded him of the three years of misplaced gratitude
He sneered at Rowena. “But, are you my real savior?”
