NovelGoldChapter 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 tit
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 cto her before, even though she had been weak and ill for weeks.

Chapter 189 Poisoned by Her Own Blood
She had blamed her age, thinking her body simply recovered more slowly. 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 cto 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! | don’t know anything about a poisoning case. Besides, I'm Mrs. Luke- Jensen's wife! How dare
you speak tolike 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?

“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 nthrough 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, | nearly
gave my life to save you. And now you think oflike 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.
