Chapter 876 Damien’s Timely Intervention
There was a prolonged silence on the other end of the line before Beckham let out a soft chuckle. You silly child.”
“This is what parents should do.”
Cherise shook her head, “Dad, your video came at the perfect time…”
Just this morning, she revealed her initial failed case, which involved her own mother. Within an hour, Beckham’s and Charisa’s videos from years ago were uploaded directly to the internet.
Before the troll army attacking Cherise could escalate the situation, these two videos completely nullified their efforts.
“Damien orchestrated it,”
Beckham chuckled. “That video was recorded a few days ago when Lucy visited with Mandy to inform me of the challenges you would face.”
Cherise’s grip on the phone tightened as she processed this revelation. “You mean… this video…”
She slapped her forehead, finally understanding why Lucy had rushed to find Mandy.
So, when she went to see Mandy a few days ago, it was for this…
A surge of warmth filled the woman’s heart.
So… Damien knew everything.
Before she even confessed to him, he had already deduced that the first case in her thesis pertained to Charisa, hadn’t he?
Otherwise, why would he have hastily dispatched Lucy to Europe before the plagiarism incident erupted?
“Yes,”
Beckham chuckled, his voice tinged with emotion. “Damien truly cares about you.”
“The crisis the Lenoir Group faces now is dire, and I am well aware of it.”
“I thought that at this time, he would devote all his energy to work. Yet, unexpectedly, he had foreseen the crisis you would face and made the most timely response…”
“In this regard, he surpasses even me.”
His tone grew somber. “Throughout his life. I have never been able to protect the person I love the most…”
“But Damien has done it.”
“Cherise, with him by your side, even if I were to pass away now, I would have no regrets…”
Alarmed by Beckham’s words, Cherise quickly interjected, “Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“I no longer have a mother, so you must live well. I still need you to help me take care of my children in the future!”
Beckham was brought back to reality by his daughter’s words.
He forced a bitter smile. “Yes, I cannot afford to die.”
“Your two little ones at home can’t do without me…”
After ending the call with Beckham, Cherise felt a gnawing unease.
She hesitated for a long while before dialing Mandy’s number. “Keep an eye on my dad for
me.”
“I have a feeling that something is amiss with his emotions…”
He’s not unwell or facing any calamity, yet he mentioned death several times during our recent conversation. As a daughter, Cherise couldn’t help but feel unsettled.
“Understood,”
Mandy replied promptly. “I’ll visit Uncle Beckham more often these days.”
But…”
She paused, leaving the rest unsaid.
Cherise furrowed her brows, “But what?”
“It’s nothing,”
Mandy sighed. “However, I’ve noticed lately that he’s made many new friends and seems happy every day.”
“I don’t think he’s feeling down.”
“But since
have concerns, I’ll you
pay
closer attention.”
Cherise nodded, finding solace in Mandy’s observation that Beckham had recently made new friends.
