Chapter 33 I’m Working
Cherise shook her head. “Never mind.”
“Why?”
“They want to ridicule me and will always find something to discuss. Even if I prove Damien isn’t old, ugly, fat, or bald, they will still taunt him for being disabled.”
She took a deep breath and put on her earphones. “I can just ignore them.”
Since she had married Damien, she had to take care of him. She couldn’t give him any trouble.
Lucy pursed her lips in exasperation. “Cressa is insulting you for no good reason.”
Cressa’s taunting would become worse if they couldn’t show her proof.
When Lucy thought about it, she felt that it was unfair. “Cherise, your marriage is legitimate. Why should they slander you like this?”
Cherise smiled slightly. “It’s alright. Ignore them.”
She gave Lucy some water. “Have some water and calm down. The lecturer is about to come.”
Today’s class was advanced mathematics with their lecturer nicknamed Ice Queen.
Lucy rolled her eyes and sipped the water. Cherise could accept it, but not her.
After the advanced mathematics lecture ended, Lucy said she was going to look for her cousin before she disappeared.
After Lucy left, everyone continued to insult Cherise and said Lucy was calling in reinforcements for Cherise.
Cherise didn’t care about what they were saying.
After classes ended, she walked to the entrance with her bag as usual.
“Cherise!”
Cressa’s annoying voice rang behind her. She had with her a group of classmates with malicious intentions, “We want to see who is providing for you!”
They kept pestering Cherise. Even if she didn’t want to get into a conflict with them, she grew agitated at their relentless behavior.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Mr. Kolson not to pick her up when Cressa’s surprised voice rang behind her. “Dad!”
Cressa’s father was dressed impeccably as he stood before an extended Lincoln. He was quietly looking around at the school entrance.
Cressa’s jaw dropped, and her mouth was wide open.
Her father, Randall Lyes, was a reputable figure in Adania. Cressa had always wanted Randall to pick her up at school, but Randall always said he was busy. Unlike other fathers, he had never sent or picked her up to and from school.
But Randall suddenly appeared at the school entrance today.
Cressa immediately felt excited when she saw the extended Lincoln vehicle beside her father. “My dad is here to pick me up!”
And he came in an extended Lincoln. It looked very imposing!
It was clear that although Randall usually never paid much attention to Cressa, he still cared about his daughter.
With everyone crowding around Cressa, she passed Cherise as she walked to the school entrance in enormous strides.
“I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare you today.”
Cressa said to Cherise nastily as she walked
past.
Cherise didn’t say a word and continued typing her message to Mr. Kolson. ‘You don’t have to pick me up today. I can take the bus.”
Mr. Kolson replied instantly. ‘I can’t pick you up today, Mrs. Lenoir, but someone will come in my place.’
Cherise furrowed her brows. She wanted to reply to Mr. Kolson, saying he didn’t need to bother, but she heard a commotion.
She looked up subconsciously and saw Randall, almost fifty years old, walk to her respectfully. “Mrs. Lenoir, I’m here to pick you up in place of your driver, Mr. Kolson.”
There was an uproar around her.
Cressa’s eyes widened. “Dad!”
Randall Jurned to glare at her. “I’m working!”
After that, he turned back and smiled respectfully at Cherise. “This way, Mrs. Lenoir.”
Cherise felt her blood freeze.
The person
who Mr. Kolson had said would come in place of him was Cressa’s father?
