Chapter 76 A Pricey Dress
Cherise’s face flushed red.
She pursed her lips. “He’s my husband. What should I call him if not hubby…”
The woman’s voice became softer toward the end until it was almost as soft as a
mosquito’s buzzing. “Besides, we’re a couple. Even if I like him… there’s nothing wrong with it…”

Lucy did not hear her last sentence.
When she looked back at Cherise, her food tray knocked into a girl.
She apologized immediately, yet the other person stayed silent.
Lucy raised her head. Of all the people, she ran into Cressa.
The girl who had humiliated Cherise about being a kept woman. Then, she was slapped by her own
father in the end. That Cressa Lyes.
Cressa was wearing a pricey dress today.
And at that moment, the dress was smothered in sauce from Lucy’s food.

and slapped her.
“Smack!” The sound rang through the entire cafeteria.
Cherise had just poured her leftovers away. She raised her head instinctively and was shocked by the
scene.
She quickly rushed toward them. “Lucy!”
“Hmm, isn’t it Cherise Shaw?”
Cressa crossed her arms. She ordered people around her to clean her dress while keeping a cold
eye on Cherise. “No wonder this
out she has someone behind her.”

The mockery and jealousy in her eyes burned. “I thought some country bumpkin managed to do
something well and get some status. I didn’t expect she got some blind. man as a sugar daddy.”
When Cressa’s father, Randall, came to fetch Cherise home, he warned Cressa not to

disrespect Cherise.
At that time, Cressa was stunned. She would avoid Cherise whenever they met for the next few days.
But she heard news that Cherise was working in a sanatorium.
She began to think that something was amiss. If Cherise had powerful support, why would. she work
herself?
She sent people to investigate, and the truth sounded like a joke!
That man was her support?
That blind Lenoir who was cast out from his family over a decade ago? The one who sat in his
wheelchair all day long doing nothing terrified her father?
Her father was overreacting over a disabled person!
Cherise’s hands on her side slowly curled into fists when Cressa mocked her about the blind man.
But she did not do anything else.
After all, Lucy was in the wrong today.

“How should we solve this, Ms. Lyes? My friend didn’t mean to do it. We can pay you the cleaning
fees.”
She thought it was not sincere enough and added, “If you think that isn’t enough, we can get you a new
dress, Ms. Lyes.”
Cressa laughed loudly and unrestrained.
“Get me a new dress? Cherise, you’re thinking too highly of yourself! Do you know how expensive this
dress is? Do you think you can even afford it?”
It was as though she had heard a hilarious joke as the others laughed along with her. “A country
bumpkin depending on a scholarship says she wants to pay for my dress?”
“What will you pay with?”
“Oh, right, you might be able to pay for it. Go home and sleep with that blindy a few times. You might
be able to get enough money for it.”

“Cherise, does that blind husband of yours know that you’re hideous?”
Cherise narrowed her eyes. Her fists were clenched tightly.
