Chapter 189: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
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 relationship with Quincy had always been good . Just recently , when Lucy's grandson was ill , Quincy had even given her a large private red envelope . And now - Lucy had poisoned her ? Quincy couldn't understand it at all . One of the officers lowered her voice . " According 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 , explained , " We already have evidence . It was Sharon who bought the poison on the black market and ordered Lucy to slip it into your food . You've been suffering from slow poisoning for twenty days now . This particular poison is usually used on pests ; it 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 black , 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 never come to her before , even though she had been weak and ill for weeks .

But it hadn't been age at all - it was Sharon, her own flesh and blood , feeding her poison . " Ha ... ha ha ha ha ! " Quincy burst into wild , broken laughter , tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks . Her emotions spiraled out of control . The doctors rushed in and ushered the police out . Moments later , Quincy collapsed back into unconsciousness . Meanwhile , Sharon hurried alongside Jensen back to the gates of Lanju , desperate to explain herself .
But before she could , the police arrived and restrained her . " Ms. Summers , we need you to come 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 . What was going on ? A poisoning case ? Why her ? Could Lucy have slipped up somehow ? No , impossible ! The poison was colorless , tasteless - undetectable . " 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 clawed at her chest . Innocent? She was anything but . If she were innocent , would she cling to Jensen this desperately ? 2/3 " Jensen , you can't abandon me ! I'm Mrs. Lukt - your jugui Corp will be dragged down too . Do you really want to see that happen ? " It was 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 glass in his throat . Yes . 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 . 3/3
