Chapter 189 Poisoned by Her Own Blood


    “How could this be? Why would she do this?”


    Lucy had served the Summers family for years, and her rtionship with Quincy had always been good. Just recently, when Lucy’s grandson was ill, Quincy had even given her arge private red envelope. And now–Lucy had poisoned her?


    Quincy couldn’t understand it at all. <fnfe78> Get full chapters from find·novel</fnfe78>


    One of the officers lowered her voice. “ording to Lucy, it was on the orders of your daughter Sharon.”


    “Impossible!”


    Quincy’s voice rose sharply as she struggled to sit up.


    “Sharon would never do that! She wouldn’t!”


    But unease gnawed at her heart.


    Wouldn’t she?


    Not long ago, when Quincy had neglected Sharon because she missed Natalie, Sharon’s cold, venomous eyes had bored into her–like a snake about to strike.


    The officer, sympathetic to her shock, exined, “We already have evidence. It was Sharon who bought the poison on the ck market and ordered Lucy to slip it into your food. You’ve been suffering from slow poisoning for twenty days now. This particr poison is usually used on pests; <i>it </i>doesn’t act quickly, but over time it causes the organs to fail. Lucy has confessed. As for Sharon, our people are already bringing her in.”


    Quincy’s vision went ck, and she nearly fainted.


    “How could she? I’m her mother!”


    Her sobs tore from her chest.


    Since Sharon’s return, she had cast Natalie aside, giving everything to Sharon–every ounce of her love and attention. And this was how her daughter repaid her? With poison?


    She couldn’t understand. And yet, deep inside, she knew it was true.


    The police had nevere to her before, even though she had been weak and ill for weeks.


    Chapter 189 Poisoned by Her Own Blood


    She had med her age, thinking her body simply recovered more slowly. But it hadn’t <b>been </b><b>age </b>at all–it was Sharon, her own flesh and blood, feeding her poison.


    “Ha… ha ha <i>ha </i>ha!”


    Quincy burst into wild, brokenughter, tears streaming uncontrobly down her cheeks.


    Her emotions spiraled out of control. The doctors rushed in and ushered the police out. Momentster, Quincy copsed back into unconsciousness.


    Meanwhile, Sharon hurried alongside Jensen back to the gates of Lanju, desperate to exin herself. But before she could, the police arrived and restrained her.


    “Ms. Summers, we need you toe to the station to assist in a poisoning investigation.”


    At once, Jensen’s face darkened.


    “Poisoning case?”


    He instinctively looked at Sharon.


    Her heart gave a violent lurch.


    <i>What </i><i>was </i><i>going </i><i>on</i><i>? </i>


    A <i>poisoning </i><i>case</i>? <i>Why </i><i>her</i>?


    Could Lucy have slipped up somehow?


    <i>No</i><i>, </i><i>impossible</i><i>! </i><i>The </i><i>poison </i><i>was </i><i>colorless</i><i>, </i><i>tasteless</i><i>–</i><i>undetectable</i>.


    “You’re mistaken! I don’t know anything about a poisoning case. Besides, I’m Mrs. Luke- Jensen’s wife! How dare you speak to me like this?”


    Sharon tried to wield her title as a shield, but Jensen cut her off coldly.


    “No matter your title, first you are a citizen. And citizens have a duty to cooperate with police investigations. Sharon, if you’re truly innocent, no one can wrong you.”


    Panic wed at her chest.


    Innocent? She was anything but.


    If she were innocent, would she cling to Jensen this desperately?


    <b>“</b>Jensen, you can’t abandon me! I’m Mrs. Lukt<b>—</b>your jugui


    Corp will be dragged down too. Do you really want to see that happen?”


    It <b>was </b>all she had left to hold on to.


    But Jensen, remembering the sight of her with that beggar, recoiled at her touch.


    Now, as she tried to cling to him again, his face turned to stone.


    “If you truly remembered you were Mrs. Luke, you’d know your every word and action reflects on Luke Corp. And now you talk of saving its reputation? Haven’t you already dragged Luke Corp and my own name through the mud?”


    Sharon bit her lip. She knew he was furious about what had happened earlier.


    Tears streamed down her cheeks. “I was framed! Why won’t you believe me, Jensen? Five years ago, I nearly gave my life to save you. And now you think of me like this?”


    The words struck him like ss in his throat.


    <b><i>Yes</i></b><i>. </i>


    Five years ago, she had saved his life.


    Without Sharon, he wouldn’t even be alive today.


    He shut his eyes. Emotions churned and collided in his chest, pressing down heavy as a stone that would not move.
