Chapter 389
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
There were over twenty medical staff waiting in the loungeâRaina and her team, the medical superintendent of Serene Hospital, and his specialists.
Startled, Charlotte thought Sharon was about to die.
When she came closer, she saw Sharon lying on the bed weakly. The latter was awake and clear-
headed. She doesnât look that pale.
Well, sheâs different. As an heiress, her life is more valuable.
When my father was alive, I used to enjoy such privileges.As heâs no longer alive, my life is utterly worthless!
At that thought, sorrow filled her heart.
âMr. Nacht!â the medical staff greeted him with a polite bow.
âHow is she doing?â
âWeâve examined Ms. Blackwood thoroughly. She suffered from food poisoning. As she received treatment in time, her condition is currently stable,â reported Raina. âWeâve pumped her stomach. Sheâs still weak but recuperating well.â
âIâm glad to hear that.â Henry heaved a sigh of relief and informed the other medical staff. âLeave us alone. Raina can stay.â
âYes.â
The medical personnel filed out of the room. Soon, the room quieten down.
âSharon, how are you feeling?â Henry came to her bed and inquired in concern.
âI feel a little unwell, but itâs fine,â came Sharonâs weak reply. âThank you. You mustâve been so worried for me.â
âWhat a fool.â Henry berated himself. âI didnât protect you well. But donât worry, Iâll make sure to give you and your father an explanation!â
He yelled furiously, âBring her here!â
A bodyguard dragged Charlotte over and shoved her onto the bed. She tried to straighten her back, but he pinned her to the bed by her shoulder.
âWhat are you doing?â Charlotte demanded in fury. âIâm not a criminal. Why are you doing this to me?â
âShut up!â Henry glared at her before turning to Sharon. âSharon, tell me.â His voice softened. âWhat did you eat today?â
âAfter my arrival at the airport, I went to Divine Corporation immediately. Iâve been busy preparing for the press conference since then. The only thing I drank was the cup of coffeeâ¦â
Suddenly, something clicked. Glaring at Charlotte, Sharon demanded, âDid you do something to the coffee?â
âMm,â Henry nodded. âWeâve run a test. The coffee was poisoned.â
âW-Why did you poison me?â Sharon pointed at Charlotte, totally enraged. âI might be hot-tempered, but Iâve never harmed you. Why are you so ruthless?â
âSeriously? Look into my eyes and answer me. What did your conscience tell you? Did I poison you for real?â Charlotte refuted in disbelief. âYou were the one who forced me to make you a cup of coffee.
How would I get the poison to poison you?â
âStop coming up with excuses!â Sharon was infuriated. âJust because I exposed your relationship with Michael, causing Zachary to take action, you held a grudge against me and tried to poison me!â
âThatâs not it!â
âShut up!â Henry thundered angrily. âI canât believe something like that happened behind my back. How many more secrets are you keeping from me?â
âIââ
âShe has done this before.â Sharon glowered at Charlotte. âPreviously, she put something in Mr. Sterkâs coffee and he nearly choked to his death. Everyone in the company knows about it.â
âYes, youâre right.â Spencer inclined his head. âIâve heard of that.â
âGood,â Henry sneered. âHurry, take her away!â
âHold on!â
Both Zachary, who had just walked into the lounge, and Taylor, yelled out simultaneously.q
