Chapter 708 Youâre A Murderer
âGurgle. The sound reverberated in the room once again.
Cherise chuckled somewhat sheepishly. âMs. Ursula, itâs not that Iâm hungry. Itâs just a natural bodily response that I canât control.â
Upon hearing Cheriseâs explanation, Damien furrowed his brows slightly and looked at her tenderly. âWhy donât you go downstairs and grab something to cat? Iâll ask Jacob to come and examine Rowena.â
âAre you allowing her to leave and cat?â Ursula raised her brows furiously. âShe hasnât explained why she told her son to drug my sister!â
Cherise found it amusing. She looked at Ursula indifferently. âI told him?â
âOf course!â Ursula retorted icily. âMr. Lenoirâs son would never misbehave. Youâre his mother, and you must have influenced him! How could a five-year-old child think of drugging someone? An adult must have put this idea in his head!â
Cherise raised her brows. She admired Ursulaâs incredible ability to change her stance. Ursula never spared Cheriseâs children and would berate and curse them in her presence. However, Ursula was now claiming that Cheriseâs son was innocent and it was all her fault in front of Damien.
âI simply asked my son some questions.â Cheriseâs brows furrowed slightly. Her voice was calm and aloof. âMy son said he just crushed up an effervescent Vitamin C tablet that I usually give him and put it in Ms. Rowenaâs gla*s.â
Ursula was taken aback. âVitamin C tablets?!â She pointed at Cherise and started berating her. Then why did my sister faint after drinking the water? This is clearly poison!â
âHeh. Are you trying to cover up the crime you instructed your son to commit? You made him drug my sister, but now youâre claiming that the substance in the water was a Vitamin C tablet?!â Ursulaâs voice was shrill and piercing. âHow dare you call yourself a proficient doctor? Youâre a murderer!â
Cherise smiled serenely. âYou can decide whether Iâm a doctor or a murderer, Ms. Ursula.â She walked ove leisurely and picked up the gla*s of water. âWould you like to see if youâll faint after drinking this gla*s of water, Ms. Ursula?â
âDo you think Iâm a fool?â Ursula rolled her eyes. âMy sister fainted after just one sip. If I take a sip and faint as well, you can basically do anything you want to us. Who will stand up for the two of us then?!â
Cherise maintained her calm smile because she clearly saw that the âunconsciousâ Rowena had a strange expression as she lay in the wheelchair.
It seemed that the drug was taking effect. It was⊠very difficult to resist the effect of the laxative. But since Rowena had chosen to put on such an act, she would simply watch Rowena continue to struggle.
However, while Cherise was contemplating how she could continue to stall, Damien extended his large hand. He picked up the gla*s of water and downed it in one gulp.
The two women in the room were astonished.
After finishing the water, Damien gracefully placed the gla*s back on the table. âRowena fainted after just

The man yawned. He extended his slender fingers to gently rub his temples and smiled faintly. âIn fact, 1- feel quite invigorated.â
Cherise was dumbfounded. You foolish man. You probably have no idea whatâs about to happen.
Ursula was utterly stupefied. âI⊠SheâŠâ She was still crying over Rowena, but Damien suddenly did such at thing.
She took a deep breath and attempted another argument. âMaybe⊠maybe itâs because my sister has a unique constitution. PerhapsâŠâ
