Marrying the Man in the Dark Chapter 775

Chapter 775 A Chance For Redemption

“Nice try to persuade me.

“Ortunately, it falls short.”

Turning her head, she cast a challenging glance at Cherise. “But I’ll only believe it if you can prove that the recording is my brother’s voice and not a fake or clever imitation.”

Cherise felt anger coursing through her, causing her temples to throb. Taking a deep breath, she locked eyes with Kareen, “You’re making this much more difficult than necessary!”

Kareen turned away, fatigue and sadness etching lines on her flawless face. “Well, who started this mess?”

She looked back at Cherise and said defiantly. “Whatever happens in the Miles family will be resolved among ourselves. We don’t need outsiders to interfere. I can take care of my brother. So, keep your unsolicited advice to yourself. I’m done with your nonsense!”

Her gaze then swept across Lyra’s face, a coldness settling in her eyes.

“I already told you

that you

will not

see my brother again, and I stand by that.”

Kareen stormed out, leaving an oppressive silence in the air.

Biting her lips, Cherise grappled with a sense o

gainst Kareen’s stubborn determination.

Cherise found herself faltering under Kareen’s steady gaze and resolute demeanor. For a moment, she was unexpectedly unsure of what to do. She had always assumed that Lyra’s struggles with Kareen stemmed from her timid nature. But now, faced with Kareen’s unwavering resolve, Cherise felt a flicker of doubt.

After all, Zachary and Kareen were siblings by blood, and an outsider couldn’t easily replace the significance they held for each other.

In a silent gesture of support, she squeezed Lyra’s hand. “Don’t give up just yet. There’s always a way.”

Just as their hope seemed to fade, a chillingly familiar voice cut through the silence. “Wait a second.”

Damien stood behind her, arms folded, gaze fixed on Kareen’s retreating figure. “What if I could offer you and your brother a chance to regain the favor of the Miles family? A

to tame your stepmother and half-brother? Would you be willing to listen to us?”

Kareen’s body stiffened before she turned, “You? Solve our family’s problems?” she scoffed.

She and Zachary had been marginalized within the Miles family for far too long.

Their mother’s tragic death had barely been mourned before Walter married Patricia, who then gave birth to Chad within a mere six months. It further solidified Kareen and Zachary’s exclusion from their rightful place in the family.

Since then, Zachary and Kareen, siblings by blood, fell out of favor within the Miles family.

If it weren’t for Charisa, who later became the head of the family and took them under her wing, Kareen wouldn’t be the woman she is today. But with Charisa gone, they were all alone, Zachary was Kareen’s only pillar of support, and now…

“Yes, I can.” Damien assured with a smile, “Ms. Miles, how about we sit down and discuss this? I believe I

can help you resolve the issues within the Miles family and your stepmother. In return, I ask for your respect towards your brother and Lyra’s choices.”

Kareen pursed her lips, her mind racing. Finally, a slight frown appeared on her face. “Very well. I’m curious to hear how you, an outsider, plan to solve the complex situation within the Miles family in such a short time.”

Damien, a figure of quiet confidence, crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe. A calm smile remained on his lips. “It’s not that difficult. I can make it happen if you agree to allow your brother and Lyra to have their wedding.”

“And if you fail?” Kareen challenged, her gaze unwavering.
