Chapter 602 Mr Lenoir, My Friend
“What other trouble would you stir up if I hadn’t shown up?” Isaac furrowed his brow, his tone laced with rebuke.
“Joy, haven’t I warned you against discussing this matter carelessly? Didn’t I make it clear that Dr. Shaw is a respected physician and we should not disturb her?”
Isaac’s gaze bore into Jordyn, visibly angered with fury in his eyes.
“But look at the mess you’ve made, Joy! You’ve told many others about the Dr. Shaw into a difficult situation!”
Jordyn stood frozen in place.

The afternoon breeze swept through the corridor, rustling the hair at her temples.
She stared at Isaac, her eyes welling up with tears until they finally spilled over.
“All you care about is Dr. Shaw! She’s the one at fault. Why are you taking the blame for her? Why are you covering up for others when you can’t even have a peaceful life yourself?”
She sniffed, tears cascading down her face like a broken string of pearls.
“I’m doing this for your sake! You know that I’ve always been timid. It took immense courage to come to Lermille and expose her in front of everyone! I was held in custody and endured such disgrace, yet you don’t feel any pity. You don’t care about me. All you care about is Dr. Shaw!”
The young girl wiped away her tears.
“I did all this for you! But you don’t appreciate what I’ve done at all!”
Isaac laughed helplessly.
“Do I need you to go to such lengths for me? I’ve repeatedly warned you not to say anything about this…”
“But someone said that you’re not doing well now because of what happened in the past.”
Observing the scene from the side, Damien picked up a key phrase from Jordyn. ‘Someone.’
He yawned, throwing a casual glance at her. “Someone said that he’s not doing well now because of what happened in the past?”
His dark eyes bore into Jordyn. “Who is this person who suggested that his current situation
is all because of the past?”
She was taken aback, only then noticing the tall, imposing man behind Isaac.
The man was striking to the eyes. The air around him was intimidating, and it was difficult to meet his gaze.
The girl’s pupils contracted!
This man…
Isn’t he the one who… the one who held the knife in front of Cherise Shaw that day, the man who protected her?
Jordyn’s mind was in turmoil.
What is this man doing here?
Why did he accompany Isaac?
The girl hastily stepped forward, positioning herself between Damien and Isaac. “Did you threaten Isaac?”
Otherwise, why would he keep singing praises of Cherise?
With this thought, Jordyn gritted her teeth, looking up at Damien defiantly.
“I’ll have you know, the commotion I caused in the classroom that day was my doing. Isaac has nothing to do with it! Come for me if you have any problems with it!”
Damien observed the girl before him with interest. “You probably wouldn’t know. The last person who dared to speak to me in this manner ended up as shark bait.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The man elegantly pulled a lighter from his pocket and toyed with it. “I doubt you can handle what I’ll do.”
Isaac frowned, pulling Jordyn aside.
“What are you doing? Mr. Lenoir is my friend!”
“Friend?”
She arched an eyebrow.
“Since when has someone like him become your friend? I’m telling you, he…”
Isaac frowned, raising his hand, and covered her mouth.
Though he did not have much interaction with Damien, Damien’s conduct and demeanor suggested that he was a man of considerable influence.
