Marrying the Man in the Dark

Sebastian rested his back against the chair and smiled at Cherise.

Sunlight filtered through the glass window, casting a mysterious shadow on his sharply defined face.

Cherise cleared her throat. “No.”

But she did hate him, especially when Lennon mentioned that Sebastian was determined to prevent Damien from succeeding. Deep down, she held some resentment towards him.

In other words, even if it were not Sebastian and were someone else, Cherise would still find the person despicable. He took advantage of the Lenoir family’s crisis to enrich himself.

Despite knowing the situation involving the Lenoir family and that the shares could not be sold at such a low price, he still took advantage of Tristan’s financial difficulties. He secretly purchased the shares while Damien was away. He even refused when the Lenoir family offered to repurchase the shares at a higher price based on market value.
