Chapter 1156 You're Heartless

"Can't | care for her as her friend? Should friends be as heartless as you? As both Lucy and Lennon's friend, you've never really

shown genuine concern when something unfortunate happened to them! You'repletely lacking in empathy!"

"I'm heartless?" Damien scoffed, smoothly pouring himself another cup of tea. "Then what does it mean not to be heartless?

Should | criticize Lennon and Lucy's past in front of Lennon? Is that how you show concern for Lucy? What right do you have to

worry about Lucy? She's so withdrawn and sad now after meeting Lennon today because of your so-called ‘concern’ for her."

Colin was dumbstruck. His voice rose sharply, punctuated by a deep breath, as he fixed a fierce glare on Damien. "You're just...

strange! Both you and your friend! You've never treated Lucy like a friend or lover. It's all business to you! You have no feelings!"

With determined steps, he swung the café door open and stormed out.

Damien watched Colin's retreating figure with a shrug, returning his attention to the tea before him. It seemed Colin had been

protected too well by Dorothy. Despite being in his thirties, Colin often approached life with the innocence of a child. Damien shook

his head in exasperation. It was tough for someone so naive and innocent to endure so many harsh realities in such a short time.

When Cherise and Lucy arrived at the bar, Lucy wasted no tin ordering two bottles of strong liquor and slumping onto the

counter. As soon as the drinks were served, Lucy seized one bottle and began drinking straight from it.

Witnessing Lucy's bold consumption of alcohol, Cherise felt a mix of concern and distress. She vented her feelings to Mandy over

the phone. 'l want to kill Lennon!"

Mandy's response was swift. 'Cherise, you can't. You won't win against Lennon."

Cherise: 'Even if | can't win, | still want to kill him! If it weren't for him, Lucy wouldn't be like this!"

Mandy: 'Cherise, don't act impulsively. I've got your back. Once I'm in Yatesville, Lennon and Violet won't know what hit them!"

Cherise: "You have such a packed schedule; do you really have ttoe to Yatesville? | find that hard to believe.

Mandy rolled her eyes. As she was on the verge of responding, an announcement blared through the airport. "Attention,

passengers. The seven o'clock flight to Yatesville is now open for boarding..." She pursed her lips, turned off her phone decisively,

and rose to her feet. With a determined air, she gestured to her assistant behind her. "Let's go!"

Her assistant followed closely, lugging two oversized suitcases, observing the graceful sway of Mandy's hair as she strode forward.

"Ms. Wool, are you really heading to Yatesville? The Tanner Group doesn't have much business there. Is it necessary for you to

make the trip?"

Mandy flicked her hair back and turned to face her assistant squarely. "I want to go. What's it to you?"

Her assistant was dumbfounded and knew better than to provoke a woman who held the presidency, especially someone like

Mandy, known for her unique and sharp temperament!

Meanwhile, while Cherise and Mandy vented on the phone, Lucy had already polished off one bottle of strong liquor and was

eyeing the second. Cherise couldn't be bothered about Mandy any longer. "Lucy!" she intervened abruptly, wresting the bottle from

Lucy's grasp. "Enough! Don't drink so much because of that scoundrel!"

Lucy let out a bitter laugh, turning to Cherise. "You think he's a scoundrel too, don't you?"
