Chapter 331 Do You Think We Can
Damien narrowed his eyes, and a chill seemed to fill the air around him. “Since Mr. Tanner has said so, I shall take my leave now.”
With that, he stood up and quickly departed with Cherise.
As they made their way from the main villa to the guest room, Cherise could sense. Damien’s icy demeanor.
He… seems angry?
Upon returning to the room, the girl carefully poured Damien a cup of tea. “Honey, why do I sense that you’re… unhappy?”
Mr. Tanner had clearly provided them with an opportunity. Everything would be fine if they investigated how to uncover the Tanner family’s secret during Mr. Beckham’s birthday banquet, wouldn’t it?
Damien sighed in frustration and pulled her onto his lap, gently biting her cheek twice, playfully pretending to devour her like she was his prey.
“You silly girl.”
Cherise’s cheek felt itchy after his bites, but she looked at him blankly and timidly. “Why are you angry…”
“Mr. Tanner didn’t offer us a way out.”
Damien caressed her cheek and sighed in frustration. “Foolish girl. You didn’t even realize that he was taking advantage of you.”
“We can’t compare to the Tanner family’s power. I’ve been in business for the
past few years and even have a talent like Lennon, but I admit I’m no match for the Tanner family.”
“If the Tanner family can’t solve it, do you think we can?”
Cherise was startled. Her face paled before her cheeks flushed.
So, it means… we practically can’t do… what Mr. Tanner mentioned?
“That’s right.”
Damien closed his eyes. “By saying that, he’s preventing us from using money or our connections to destroy the chip.”
“He means that since he has shown us the way, we can’t blame him if we can’t accomplish it. And if the Tanner family can’t even solve it themselves, do you think we can?”
Cherise bit her lips fiercely.
She… She had never considered it.
As Damien analyzed the situation, she realized that… Old Mr. Tanner had deceived them.
At the same time, in the Tanner Residence.
“Dad, you want these young people to help us find me and Ari’s daughter?”
Beckham frowned deeply. “Even I can’t find her. They won’t be able to find her neither.”
“Then why did you trick them like that?”
Mr. Tanner stroked his beard and smiled. “Don’t say that. Wasn’t the girl quite confident?”
After Damien’s explanation, Cherise understood that she had fallen into Mr. Tanner’s trap.
She pursed her lips and grumbled softly. “These business people are so cunning.”
She looked up pitifully and leaned into Damien’s arms. “Honey, did I say the wrong thing?”
The girl resembled a bashful kitten, causing Damien to shake his head in frustration.
He reached out to stroke her hair. “It’s not your fault.”
“Even if you hadn’t said anything, Mr. Tanner’s words would have had the same intentions.”
“It’s just a matter of whether we agreed to it.”
Cherise pressed her lips together. She still felt uneasy. “I won’t speak thoughtlessly next. time.”
“These wealthy people are too intimidating.”
Damien’s lips curled into a smile. He kissed her soft lips. “I’m wealthy too. Am I intimidating?”
His gaze grew more lustful and dangerous.
