Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 742 Do You Think Iâm Naïve?
âI 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. Thatâs why I took her place.â
She continued, âAt that point, I was unaware of your connection with Gwenn until⦠I saw your press conference in
Lermille.â
Her expression turned earnestly. âHonestly, I donât know her well. Iâm just profoundly grateful that she shared
information that changed my destiny.
âBut later, I discovered that you and I are alike. Our family harbored an impostor daughter at home.â Rowenaâs
eyes softened with a touch of sympathy. âWeâre in the same boat, so why hurt each other?â
âWhen you were in Lermille, youâd rather admit to having psychological issues than reveal why your hand was
injured. Is it because you canât let anyone know about the incident from three years ago?â
Cherise furrowed her brow as she looked at Rowena.
Despite her disdain for Rowenaâs 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. âWhat are you trying to say?â
âWhat I mean isâ¦â Rowenaâs eyes contained a hint of plea as she looked at Cherise. âSince you canât reveal the
past, and I canât give up the identity of Damienâs savior⦠why canât we coexist peacefully?â
Her eyes glimmered with hope and desire. âWhy donât we help each other out? I promise not to have any improper
intentions about Damien in the future, as long as you donât tell him the truth and donât kick me
out!â
Then, Rowena raised her hand and swore solemnly, âDonât worry. I swear Iâll 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 Iâm not limited to him, soâ¦
Cherise yawned. She looked at her as if watching a clown. âRowena, do you realize how ridiculous you sound right
now?â
âDamien 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 wonât continue hiding it from him.
âAs for you⦠we have no personal connection, so why should I make such a deal with you? Do you think Iâm as
naive as Ursula?â
She pulled out her phone and casually dialed a number. âMr. Kolson, bring some people over.â
Then, she ended the call and turned to Rowena. âBy 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.â
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. âMs. 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. âMs. Mortis, we meet again.â
âCherise!â Ursula glared at her and uttered through gritted teeth, âWhat brings you here? Have you decided not to
trouble my sister anymore?â
