Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196 He's Small
An icy smile curled on Lucy's lips. "If that's your desire."

"I'm here today because the director hinted at a potential raise," she continued.

"Could I ask how much Ms. Belcourt has in mind?"

Lucy's demeanor held steady, revealing no hint of disappointment or sorrow. Meanwhile, Violet was peeved by her response. "Is money all that concerns you?" she queried.

"What else should?" Lucy retorted.

Lucy's smile was faint as she spoke, her tone measured. "Ms. Belcourt, aren't you here to seek my advice for your finances?"

Violet's expression twisted into a sneer, her voice dripping with disdain. "I didn't think you'd come to this topic so soon."

Undeterred, Lucy maintained an indifferent expression. "What other things could we talk about if not for finances?"

"Perhaps who pleases Lennon better at night?" she added.

"You—How dare you!"

Violet's cheeks flushed crimson with fury!

Lucy's self-deprecating words were directed toward herself, but they had a sting that struck deep within Violet.

Five years prior, Lucy had a brief affair with Lennon, which led to a pregnancy.

What about Violet?

She had idolized Lennon for as long as she could remember, harboring dreams of being betrothed to him since she was a kid.

During her youth, her family had treated Lennon poorly, fueling her constant desire for his approval.

After patiently enduring for years, she had finally persuaded Lennon to tie the knot!

But what transpired next?

Despite her attempts to intoxicate him, drug his food, or seduce him with her body...

She employed every conceivable method, yet Lennon remained resolute, steadfastly insisting on waiting until their wedding night before they proceeded!

She bit down on her lower lip, resentment brewing in her eyes as she glared at Lucy. Was she trying to brag?!

Brag about having shared Lennon's bed!?

After a moment of tense silence, Violet couldn't help but chuckle.
