Chapter 1021 Confronting Ian
She smiled at him, her demeanor calm yet determined. “I have a gift for you, Ian,” she declared. She
grabbed the objects on a nearby table with swift precision and launched them towards him. Though he
managed to evade the first cup she threw at him, Otto quickly intervened, restraining lan. In the
ensuing chaos, hot water, a kettle, teacups, plates, and fruits rained upon Ian.
After hurling everything within reach, Cherise regained her composure quickly, to everyone’s surprise.
“Take him back to the mental hospital,” she instructed, her voice steady. She took a moment to gather
herself before continuing, “His presence is no longer needed.”
“Mrs. Lenoir, are you absolutely sure?” Otto’s grip tightened on Ian as he posed the question, his
concern evident on his wrinkled brows. Damien had emphasized to Otto about Ian’s role in recovering
Cherise’s memories. Hence, Otto hesitated to send Ian away despite what Cherise had said.

Ian was an incredibly sly man. Should his current schemes fail, his future ploys upon potential release
from the mental hospital would undoubtedly escalate to more extreme measures.
“Yes,” Cherise affirmed, drawing a deep breath. “Even if my memories remain elusive, I no longer
require his presence.” She felt distressed for Damien. A man of his stature rarely gave in and was
barely swayed easily. He had only set aside his dignity because her memories focused on Ian. Cherise
was Damien’s number one priority. Yet, she refused to allow Damien to be so subservient or
constrained, even if it was for her sake.
“Cherise!” Ian fought against Otto’s restraint, his voice teeming with desperation. “Cherise, what I said’
before were lies, I swear… You might not recall Damien now, but you remember me. You know what
sort of person I am.”
“What I said earlier-Damien made me say it… Really…” Ian’s gaze bore into Cherise, his expression
fraught with pain and anguish. “I never meant to address you in that manner… This whole situation is
Damien’s doing. This is his and Otto’s scheme!”
“Is that so?” Cherise retorted with a scoff. “But it was my choice to be here. Having this conversation
was also my idea.”
She gazed into Ian’s eyes. “Ian, you’re quite the performer. If it wasn’t for what you said, I wouldn’t
have been aware that you had initially intended to dispose of the study materials you gifted me back
then. I was deeply touched at the time, believing you genuinely cared for me, but it was all a façade.
You’ve probably said the same to countless other girls.”
“Thank you,” Cherise added, offering lan an indifferent smile. “You’ve taught me a valuable lesson.”
lan was taken aback. “What is it?”
“It shows that what you witness might not always be the whole truth. Moreover, I can’t take others’
words at face value. Take him away,” she commanded before briskly leaving the room.
As the swung the door open and stepped into the corridor, a frown creased Cherise’s brow, and she
turned to glance at Otto. “By the way, Otto, if I’m about to meet someone dangerous, can you ensure I

keep you protected.” After a momentary pause, he locked eyes with Cherise. “But if you want to face a
dangerous individual, Mrs. Lenoir, it’d be best for Mr. Lenoir to be there with you.”
“Otherwise, Mr. Lenoir won’t rest easy. And I’d strongly suggest steering clear of any risky encounters
without his knowledge,” Otto advised. Despite his recent return to the country, Otto had already shown
himself reliable, as others had attested.
