Chapter 401 Drop The Lawsuit
Damien had been and was good to her.
But she…
She had…
“It’s not your fault!” Zachary took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto hers. “I promise you, Elvis won’t
end up in prison or die. But you need to keep yourself together now.”
“Think about it. What else does Damien have left now?”
“Why doesn’t he want to meet his sister? Do you really think Damien is unaware of what happened
back then?”
“He’s avoiding his own sister for your sake.”
“If you also walk away because of baseless lies, what will he have left?”
“He’s let go of his hatred and is trying to move on with his life for you. If you can’t do the same…”
“Then, you don’t deserve him!”
Zachary’s rapid words left Cherise completely stunned.

Tears still clung to her cheeks, but Cherise was determined not to shed any more. Zachary’s stern
reprimand had left her feeling somewhat dazed.
Zachary gritted his teeth and bellowed, “Mandy, Blake, get in here!”
Startled by his loud voice, Mandy, who had just finished packing, hurried into the room with her
backpack.
Meanwhile, in the study room, Cherise had become a weeping wreck.
Zachary pushed Cherise towards Mandy, “Take her to Damien’s car”
Mandy hesitated, almost mentioning that Damien wasn’t waiting outside. However, when she caught
the man’s gaze, she felt a twinge of apprehension and refrained from asking questions. She swiftly,
with the assistance of Blake and Mr. Kolson, guided Cherise out of Wool Manor.
After all the commotion, only Zachary and Maeve remained in the study.
The room hung heavy with an unsettling silence and tension. Maeve wheeled himself to the window,
observing the tree shadows swaying in the breeze outside.

“Why bother helping them? Separating them would only serve your interests.”
There was a hint of contempt in Macve’s voice. “I heard that Ariel’s condition for you was granting the
headship of the Miles family to anyone who brings her daughter back.”
Turning to face Zachary with her cold gaze, she said, “Don’t tell me you have no interest in becoming
the head of the Miles family.”
“You’ve been on a wild goose chase looking for Cherise for over a year. If you didn’t intend to marry
her, why go to such lengths to find her?”
“Now that you’ve found her, you’re not making any moves to win her over, but instead, you’re trying to
make her reconcile with my brother.”
Maeve shook his head in exasperation. “I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you. You know, we could
have formed an alliance.”
“I don’t need to team up with someone like you,” Zachary said, crossing his arms and leaning against
the door with a cold expression. “I’ll achieve what I want through my own efforts. I don’t need to depend

A flicker of anger crossed Maeve’s face. “Who are you calling a ‘hideous freak’!?”
“You! Your actions are nothing short of monstrous, and you certainly look the part,” Zachary
commented indifferently.
Maeve, her patience running thin, asked, “Why are you here?”
Zachary let out a yawn. “By the way, I didn’t come here today to watch a Lenoir family soap opera.”
“Then, why did you come?”
“For you to drop the lawsuit.” He raised his hand, pointing his finger at Maeve. I’m talking about
Elvis Shaw’s case.”
“He holds great importance for our family head.”
“So, you must retract the lawsuit. Otherwise, it will lead to a confrontation with the Miles family.”
Maeve held onto the wheelchair’s armrests tightly. “Why go through all this trouble to bring back a
bodyguard who’s now worthless to the Miles family
“Laws exist everywhere, and every family has its own code of conduct.”
“He’s let our family head down, so it’s our family head’s duty to decide his fate.”
