Chapter 708 You’re A Murderer
‘Gurgle. The sound reverberated in the room once again.
Cherise chuckled somewhat sheepishly. “Ms. Ursula, it’s not that I’m hungry. It’s just a natural bodily response that I
can’t control.”
Upon hearing Cherise’s explanation, Damien furrowed his brows slightly and looked at her tenderly. “Why don’t you
go downstairs and grab something to cat? I’ll ask Jacob to come and examine Rowena.”
“Are you allowing her to leave and cat?” Ursula raised her brows furiously. “She hasn’t explained why she told her
son to drug my sister!”
Cherise found it amusing. She looked at Ursula indifferently. “I told him?”
“Of course!” Ursula retorted icily. “Mr. Lenoir’s son would never misbehave. You’re his mother, and you must have

head!”
Cherise raised her brows. She admired Ursula’s incredible ability to change her stance. Ursula never spared
Cherise’s children and would berate and curse them in her presence. However, Ursula was now claiming that
Cherise’s son was innocent and it was all her fault in front of Damien.
“I simply asked my son some questions.” Cherise’s brows furrowed slightly. Her voice was calm and aloof. “My son
said he just crushed up an effervescent Vitamin C tablet that I usually give him and put it in Ms. Rowena’s glass.”
Ursula was taken aback. “Vitamin C tablets?!” She pointed at Cherise and started berating her. Then why did my
sister faint after drinking the water? This is clearly poison!”
“Heh. Are you trying to cover up the crime you instructed your son to commit? You made him drug my sister, but
now you’re claiming that the substance in the water was a Vitamin C tablet?!” Ursula’s voice was shrill and piercing.
“How dare you call yourself a proficient doctor? You’re a murderer!”
Cherise smiled serenely. “You can decide whether I’m a doctor or a murderer, Ms. Ursula.” She walked ove leisurely
and picked up the glass of water. “Would you like to see if you’ll faint after drinking this glass of water, Ms. Ursula?”
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Ursula rolled her eyes. “My 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?!”
Cherise maintained her calm smile because she clearly saw that the ‘unconscious’ 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 glass of water and downed it in one gulp.

The two women in the room were astonished.
After finishing the water, Damien gracefully placed the glass back on the table. “Rowena fainted after just

The man yawned. He extended his slender fingers to gently rub his temples and smiled faintly. “In fact, 1- feel quite
invigorated.”
Cherise was dumbfounded. You foolish man. You probably have no idea what’s about to happen.
Ursula was utterly stupefied. “I… She…” She was still crying over Rowena, but Damien suddenly did such at thing.
She took a deep breath and attempted another argument. “Maybe… maybe it’s because my sister has a unique
constitution. Perhaps…”
