Chapter 742 Do You Think I’m Naïve?
“I said I know Gwenn Tanner.
Rowena smiled at Cherise. Three years ago, Gwenn informed me that the woman who saved Damien from the fire had passed away. That’s why I took her place.”
She continued, “At that point, I was unaware of your connection with Gwenn until… I saw your press conference in Lermille.”
Her expression turned earnestly. “Honestly, I don’t know her well. I’m just profoundly grateful that she shared information that changed my destiny.
“But later, I discovered that you and I are alike. Our family harbored an impostor daughter at home.” Rowena’s eyes softened with a touch of sympathy. “We’re in the same boat, so why hurt each other?”
“When you were in Lermille, you’d rather admit to having psychological issues than reveal why your hand was injured. Is it because you can’t let anyone know about the incident from three years ago?”
Cherise furrowed her brow as she looked at Rowena.
Despite her disdain for Rowena’s manipulative nature, she could not deny that this woman was incredibly sharp. She had even dug up all these details..
Cherise took a deep breath and maintained a firm gaze on Rowena. “What are you trying to say?”
“What I mean is…” Rowena’s eyes contained a hint of plea as she looked at Cherise. “Since you can’t reveal the past, and I can’t give up the identity of Damien’s savior… why can’t we coexist peacefully?”
Her eyes glimmered with hope and desire. “Why don’t we help each other out? I promise not to have any improper intentions about Damien in the future, as long as you don’t tell him the truth and don’t kick me
out!”
Then, Rowena raised her hand and swore solemnly, “Don’t worry. I swear I’ll never entertain any improper thoughts about Damien in the future! Honestly. I never had feelings for him. I was only attracted to his status and position. There are plenty of other good men in this world, and I’m not limited to him, so…
Cherise yawned. She looked at her as if watching a clown. “Rowena, do you realize how ridiculous you sound right now?”
“Damien and I are committed to being together for a lifetime. As such, I will eventually have to tell him. about this matter. Since my past concealment has led to such a catastrophe, I won’t continue hiding it from him.
“As for you… we have no personal connection, so why should I make such a deal with you? Do you think I’m as naive as Ursula?”
She pulled out her phone and casually dialed a number. “Mr. Kolson, bring some people over.”
Then, she ended the call and turned to Rowena. “By the way, you might not know about this due to your lack of education, but impersonating someone to gain support and gifts is also a form of fraud.”
With that, she turned around and left.

Rowena stood there with her mouth gaping in shock. However, before she had a chance to recover, the door swung open again.
Mr. Kolson entered the ward with several police officers. “Ms. Mortis, Ms. Shaw accuses you of suspected. fraud. We hope you can come with us to assist with the investigation.
Cherise drove straight to the detention center after leaving the hospital.
Ursula was already waiting for her in the visiting room. She looked disheveled and had bloodshot eyes from being up all night.
At the moment, she was seated in a chair with her hands and feet shackled.
Cherise gracefully sat down before her. “Ms. Mortis, we meet again.”
“Cherise!” Ursula glared at her and uttered through gritted teeth, “What brings you here? Have you decided not to trouble my sister anymore?”
