Chapter 756 It’s Too Late
“That day, a woman came to collect the research papers. I suspect your sister intends to use them against you in
the future. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to have me steal them for
her.”
After saying that, she looked into Cherise’s eyes and smiled sadly. “I have nothing with which to repay you. I can
only offer you this warning so you can be prepared.”
Cherise furrowed her brow and sighed. “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me.” Ursula sighed. Her face was still pale. “Previously, I could never understand. why
Damien would reject Rowena’s advances and go around the world looking for you. Now I finally understand…”
“You’re kinder, more virtuous, and endearing than Rowena. If I hadn’t tried to harm you on Rowena’s behalf, I
might have also desired to be friends with you.”

Cherise looked at Ursula’s face, wanting to say something, but ultimately, she remained silent. She turned to
Damien instinctively.
Damien furrowed his brow. “How did you know Gwenn?”
“We have known Gwenn from the beginning. That’s how we were able to act as your saviors.”
Ursula smiled bitterly. “Do you think Rowena could have tricked you all by herself, making you believe she was the
one who rescued you? It was always Gwenn who controlled everything behind the scenes.”
“Gwenn knew what Cherise wore that day. She even knew when Cherise appeared and details about how she saved
you. Those details were so numerous that it felt like she was right there at the scene of the fire. Perhaps the fire
was orchestrated by her.”
Then, Ursula paused and looked at Damien: “Didn’t you also fall for her scheme?”
Damien narrowed his eyes. His gaze gradually turned cold.
On the day of the massive fire three years ago, a business partner invited him for a drink. He kept. mentioning
Cherise, causing Damien to drink more than usual.

regained consciousness after being rescued from the fire.

business dealings with the Tanner family.
“Dame?” Cherise voice awakened Damien from his reverie.
“Let’s go.”
Cherise held his hand before turning to Ursula. “Please take care.”

Then, she looked at Damien. “My colleagues are still waiting for us.”
Damien narrowed his eyes and gave Ursula a final glance before leaving with Cherise.
Cherise called her supervisor as they traveled to New World Restaurant. “Mr. Whitlock, there might be at problem
with my paper. Can you retract it from the academic journal?”
Since Gwenn had gotten the research papers, Cherise suspected she might want to cause trouble with the
copyright.
Mr. Whitlock was enjoying a drink at the restaurant. “Why do you want to retract it? Your paper is so well- written.
What could be wrong? Besides, I submitted it several days ago. They’ve probably finished. reviewing it by now. It’s
too late to retract it!”

submitted it to? I’ll request them to retract it myself.”
