When She Rose From the Ashes

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!”
