Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband

Chapter 849 It’s All Heather’s Fault 

Cherise opened her eyes and met Heather’s inquisitive gaze. Heather seemed to be silently asking.

“Are you okay?”

Cherise responded reassuringly and smiled at Heather, calming her anxious heart.

Ever since Cherise arrived at the institute, Heather had been worried about her. Although she knew

Cherise had Damien’s protection, she was concerned that Damien wouldn’t be able to arrive on time if

Mr. Whitlock were to bully Cherise.

As Cherise’s friend, Heather felt responsible for ensuring Cherise’s safety. Now that Cherise confirmed

she was okay, Heather felt relieved.

Meanwhile, Mr. Whitlock stood behind Heather. His eyes lit up as he looked at the steaming cup of tea.

Suddenly, he grabbed the cup and hurled it towards Heather.

Heather was focused on Cherise and was unaware of the danger behind her. On the other hand,

Cherise saw Mr. Whitlock splashing the tea and wanted to pull Heather away. Unfortunately, it was too

late.

Heather screamed. Her face instantly turned red from the scalding tea.

Mr. Whitlock smashed the cup on the floor, shouting, “Heather, did you come here to spy on me? Are

you afraid I won’t slander Dr. Shaw as you wish, so you came in to check on me!?”

Heather’s body trembled violently from being scalded by the hot tea. She swayed unsteadily and fell

backward. Cherise caught her immediately. “Heather, are you okay?”

Heather was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak for a while. She stuttered before managing to say

two words, “It hurts!”

Seeing the usually friendly girl in so much pain ignited Cherise’s anger.

However, Mr. Whitlock continued to slander Heather, “Cherise, don’t fall for her lies! Heather made me

produce these so–called pieces of evidence! No one knows better than me that you didn’t plagiarize!

It’s all Heather’s fault! She conspired with Yolanda, bribed me with money, and used my family matter

to force me to work with them!”

Heather gritted her teeth. Her face had turned pale from pain, but she still mustered the strength to look

up at Cherise, pleading, “Cherise, I didn’t…”

Of course, Cherise knew that Heather didn’t do those things.

Heather was naive and a little clueless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unaware of Cherise and Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Damien’s relationship and kept gushing to her about how famous Damien was until he came to

propose to Cherise.

Furthermore, she wouldn’t have claimed to be Lennon’s close friend without inquiring about his

relationship with Lucy.

How could this innocent girl be the mastermind Mr. Whitlock described, bribing and coercing him with

money? Anyone could see that it was Mr. Whitlock’s desperate attempt to shift the blame and clear his

involvement.

Cherise sneered and turned to Mr. Whitlock. “Did you say Heather bribed and coerced you? Then, tell

me, how much money did she offer you? When did she coerce you?”

Mr. Whitlock was astonished. He hesitated for a long time before answering, “She offered me two

hundred thousand… Also, she said she would send my son abroad to make me conspire with her.”

He didn’t expect Cherise to question him.

After all, he had decided to slander Heather on the spur of the moment. When Cherise asked for

details, he couldn’t come up with a story immediately. He had to retrofit Heather’s situation to match the

conditions Mr. Zeller offered him.

However, in his haste, he failed to consider Heather’s actual circumstances.
