Chapter 755 A Shocking Revelation

Cherise’s phone rang as Damien started the car.

It was a call from the detention center. “Ms. Shaw, Ursula attempted suicide in her cell, and we barely saved her

ife. She asked to see you. Will you be willing to meet her?”

Cherise was astounded. Ursula tried to take her own life?

She frowned and asked, “Are you sure it was Ursula who attempted suicide and not Rowena?”

“It was Ursula.” The police officer confirmed. “Ms. Shaw, we wouldn’t make such a mistake. The one who tried to

end her life is the younger sister. The elder sister is in a different cell.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “I’ll be there shortly.”

Even though she was not fond of Ursula, it was still a life at stake. Furthermore, after Cherise played Ursula an

audio recording that proved Rowena had been manipulating her, Ursula broke down in tears. It seemed unlikely that

Ursula would conspire against her with Rowena anymore.

Thus, she turned to Damien, who was driving. “We must go to the hospital. Ursula tried to kill herself.”

Damien’s brow furrowed slightly. His voice was laced with indifference. “Are you still concerned about the Two

sisters?”

“I’m not, but Ursula asked to see me.” Cherise took a deep breath before continuing. “Perhaps she has something

important to tell me.”

Damien fell silent for a moment. Eventually, he turned the car around. “I’ll go with you. Ursula has always been

hostile toward you.”

Cherise and Damien arrived at the hospital half an hour later.

The hospital room smelled strongly of disinfectant.

Ursula sat up, leaning against the headboard. Her face was ashen. Meanwhile, her left wrist was swathed in thick

bandages, and crimson stains seeped through the layers.

Her pale lips twisted into a sardonic smile when Cherise and Damien entered the room. “Why? Are you still

concerned that I might harm her in this condition?”

Damien ignored her question. “What do you want from Cherise?”

“Nothing much.” Ursula looked at Cherise and smiled weakly. “I wish to say goodbye.”

“Tomorrow, I will go to court and accuse Rowena of fraud and deceiving Mr. Lenoir’s trust to extort valuables from

him. However, I will likely be sentenced for attempting to run you over.”

Her voice was as raspy as before but now devoid of arrogance. Moreover, every word she uttered was steeped in

resignation and melancholy.

“I should thank you. Without you, I would have been Rowena’s puppet for the rest of my life. Do you know she still

called me ‘sis’ when she arrived at the detention center? It disgusts me…”

Cherise pursed her lips. “Ursula, I understand that you feel despair from being betrayed by your loved ones. But…

you’re still young, you can’t give up on life yet…”

Although Cherise felt no affection for Ursula, she was still a doctor. It pained her to see someone attempting to take

their life. Thus, she felt compelled to counsel Ursula.

“Thank you for caring about me.” Ursula smiled. Her eyes were filled with self-derision. “I was foolish to plot against

you and cause you trouble…”

Then, she sighed and looked up at Cherise before continuing, “I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Before this…” Ursula closed her eyes. “I bribed one of your servants under Rowena’s orders and stole latest

research paper.”

Her revelation cast a momentary silence over the hospital room.

Cherise frowned. “You stole my research paper?”

“Yes.” Ursula smiled bitterly. “Rowena said your non-biological sister wanted it.”
