Chapter 743 Seizing the Opportunity
“Your sister?” Cherise arched an eyebrow. “Do you think she sees you as her sister? You’re loyal to Rowena, but sadly, she doesn’t consider you her sibling.”
Ursula scowled and glared at Cherise, “What are you implying? You’re talking nonsense! My sister has always been the best to me! Don’t try to sow discord between us!”
“Why would I need to sow discord between you two?” Cherise smiled calmly. She placed her phone on the table and casually pressed the play button of a recording. “I just left Rowena’s hospital room. Want to hear what she thinks of you?”
Ursula narrowed her eyes and stared at Cherise fiercely. Still, she remained silent.
After a moment, Rowena’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Now that you know, I suppose I have to admit it. Actually, it’s not that I’m particularly clever… She’s just foolish.”
In the recording, the usual warmth in Rowena’s voice had completely disappeared and was replaced with
hatred.
Ursula’s mind went blank as she listened to the conversation in the recording.
Cherise’s stern voice sounded, “Ursula has been your sister for over a decade. Don’t you feel the slightest remorse for exploiting her in this manner?”
Rowena’s voice was harsh and resentful. “Why should I feel remorse?”
Ursula’s eyes gradually dulled.
She slumped in her chair and shook her head vehemently. “No… This can’t be real…”
Meanwhile, Damien sent the two children to kindergarterf
“Are you Soren and Serafina’s father?” a kindergarten teacher asked warmly.
Damien, holding a child in each hand, nodded subtly. “Yes.”
“You can leave the children with me.” The teacher took Soren and Serafina’s hands with a smile before advising Damien, “It’s getting cold, and the weather forecast says it will rain today. Your children are slightly underdressed. Can you get them jackets from home?
The teacher explained, “Children have fragile immune systems. They can easily get sick if they aren’t kept
warm.”
Damien hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Sure.”
After returning home, he searched through the cabinet but found nothing suitable. Just as he was about to call Cherise, he noticed a suitcase under Soren’s bed.
He smacked his forehead.

When Cherise came to Adania with him, she must have packed warm clothing for the children. However, the weather had been warm in the past few days, so she probably had not taken them out.
He took a deep breath and pulled out the suitcase.
“Mr. Lenoir, leave the matter to me.”
Frances stood at the door and persuaded him insistently, “It’s only to get jackets for Soren and Serafina. We can always buy new ones. Let me search the suitcase for you…”
Damien shook his head and frowned as he opened the suitcase. “In the past five years, Cherise brought up the children single-handedly with no one to help her.”
“I’ve never done anything for my children. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I should seize it.”
Frances stood at the door and seemed somewhat at a loss as she listened to Damien. She sighed softly. “Mr. Lenoir, the children will understand how much you care about them.”
Damien nodded quietly and continued searching through the suitcase.
Seeing that her help was not needed, Frances sighed and left.
Damien bent over the suitcase and searched for a long time before finally finding the children’s jackets at the bottom.
However, he also felt something concealed within the jackets.
He frowned and lifted the top jacket, revealing a memory album with metal covers.
