Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1058 Uncovering Sebastian's Schemes

Before long, a voice resonated from the other line.

"You calling about Trent's hometown?"

"Yeah, he's from a small mountain village near Shawbury. I'll shoot you the address soon."

"Wait, you're tellingyou haven't discovered his location? You said a few days back you were looking."

After a quick chat with his classmate, Steve hung up and received the information he wanted.

The village lay not too distant from Shawbury, an area marked by its poverty and lack of development.

As soon as Damien received the address, he swiftly passed it on to Blake and Otto, outlining their task: locate Trent's family,

document their findings with photos and videos, and relay the information.

With the plan underway, Cherise furrowed her brow and turned to Damien, her curiosity piqued. "Earlier, you mentioned your team

was keeping tabs on Trent and Savannah. Why not intercept them?"

Damien stood up casually and pulled Cherise into an embrace. Then he gestured for Steve to join them in leaving. Together, the

tmade their exit from the restaurant. "It's true that we need to hinder their movements," Damien agreed as they were strolling.

"However, we must exercise caution."

As the man guided Cherise and Steve into the car, his demeanor remained composed. "Sebastian was intentionally permitted to

flee," he disclosed evenly.

Cherise's eyes bulged in disbelief. "Intentionally allowed to escape?" she echoed, struggling to grasp the revelation.

"Why?" she inquired, her confusion evident.

Prior to recovering her memories, Cherise had only associated Sebastian with deception.

Yet now, with her recollections fully restored...

Every detail of Sebastian's actions against Damien and herself flooded back to her.

No longer did she see him as the timid, pudgy boy from junior high school.

The current Sebastian embodied arrogance, self-absorption, moral distortion, and indifference.

His entire being reeked of antisocial tendencies, emanating an unsettling aura.

His wicked, intense, and distorted demeanor radiated an aura of danger.

As long as he roamed free, individuals like him constituted a significant threat to society at large.

Cherise couldn't comprehend why Damien had purposefully allowed him to escape.

As if reading Cherise's unspoken thoughts, Damien arched an eyebrow ever so slightly. "Because there was another party

involved," he remarked, his tone contemplative.

"How did Sebastian, after years of fruitless searching, suddenly track you down so effortlessly?" Damien pressed on, his curiosity

evident.

"How did Sebastian acquire such intimate knowledge of your background, experiences, and every detail about you?" Damien's

questions hung in the air, leaving Cherise to tighten her lips in silent contemplation.

She grappled with Damien's words, their implications swirling in her mind.

Cherise had previously assumed that Sebastian's influence gave him the opportunity to find out detailed information concerning

herself.

However, Damien's disclosure left her thoroughly baffled.

It was indeed puzzling.

Sebastian insisted he'd been hunting for her for six or seven years.

So why was there difficulty in locating her all that time, only to miraculously uncover her and possess such intimate knowledge

about her?

And then there was Alexis.

Cherise hadn't even confided in Damien about Alexis!

"The other party who helped him was Gwenn," Damien's voice cut through the air.

His sneer deepened as he elaborated, "Alain, Sebastian's father, revealed this to me."

"Gwenn's influence stretches far and wide. It was through Alain's disclosure that I made the connection between Sebastian and

her."

Cherise stood stunned, rendered momentarily speechless by the revelation.

"So... does Gwenn still have her hands in all of this?" Cherise's inquiry bore the weight of her persistence.

The woman's tenacity was undeniable.

In the past, she had orchestrated the maneuvers of the Mortis sisters. It seemed even Sebastian, too, was entangled in her web.

A bitter snicker escaped Cherise's lips. "I've exercised patience for far too long."

Over the years, Cherise had deliberately kept her distance from the Tanner family, refraining from asserting her claim to their

wealth.

Instead, she chose a strategic approach to avoid head-on confrontations with Gwenn. Seeking refuge with the assistance of Wendy,

she skillfully maneuvered through the intricate web of the group's affairs within the Tanner family, sidestepping potential conflicts

with finesse.
