Chapter 513 Cherise’s Sacrifice
Contrary to widespread belief, she was very much alive.
The security guard stared in disbelief at the woman standing before him.
Maeve confidently strolled into the venue and announced, “Today is my brother’s wedding day.”
“As his sister, how could I miss the chance to bless my beloved brother and my dear Cherry personally?”
Maeve’s sudden entrance sent a chilling breeze throughout the venue, enveloping it in an eerie ambiance.
Cherise furrowed her brow and instinctively shifted her gaze towards Damien.
There was a spark of joy flickered in his eyes.
When the wedding invitations were sent out, Maeve had declared her absence from the event,
Her reason was her dislike for Cherise.
Though she had initially opted out of the wedding, Maeve’s unexpected presence had caused some upheaval..
Was her apparent distaste for Cherise a sign of genuine concern for Damien?
Damien released his grip from Cherise’s hand and walked towards Maeve.
Finally, he stood before her and said sternly, “Hello there, sister.”
“Hmm.”
Maeve retrieved a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Damien, “This is a token of my sisterly affection.”
Her brown eyes swept across the room and asked wryly, “Aren’t you going to offer me a seat?”
Damien hesitated as he scanned the room.
The venue was nearly at total capacity.
Charisa’s formidable presence left an empty seat beside her.
Damien frowned, turning to Charisa, “Maeve, you see…”
“Then I’ll have that seat.”
Maeve smiled and said coldly, “I can also foster some rapport with this in-law.”
As the celebrations continued, Damien failed to notice the momentary darkness that flickered in Maeve’s eyes.
The banquet continued in a blast.
Damien and Cherise soon raised a toast to the Fuoco family’s table.
A woman in an elegant white dress rose, her lithe figure grinning at Cherise. “Cherise, do remember who I am?”
“I’m Melanie Fuoco.
Cherise furrowed her brows, fixed her gaze on her, and muttered, “I remember.”
Her outstanding quality was her remarkable ability to remember things.
you
She remembered Melanie, the second daughter of Fuoco Corporation, who had attempted to sign lan Philips and establish a private clinic for him.
Fueled by her hatred towards Cherise and Damien, she and her family believed that the Lenoir family had failed to take responsibility for her sister.
But what brought someone of her stature to their banquet today?
“Of course, I came to extend my blessings to the both of you.”
Melanie smiled, her eyes twinkling.
She stood up and raised her glass to Damien, “My sister wasn’t fortunate enough to be with you. so I can only wish Ms. Shaw well.”
Damien glanced at her indifferently, refilling Cherise’s empty glass with wine.
Cherise initially focused on Damien but then turned towards Melanie.
In the corner of her eye, Melanie’s hand grasped a gleaming silver weapon from the table.
Cherise’s heart dropped, and her eyes widened in shock at the dangerous glint.
It was… a dinner knife!
The atmosphere grew taut as Melanie, ready for a menacing act, directed the knife toward Damien’s heart. Cherise swiftly intervened, and the imminent peril hung heavily in the charged.

Pain-surged through her heart.
Melanie had exerted a great deal of force.
The sharp dinner knife pierced through Cherise’s palm.
