The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1114

Her smartwatch buzzed on her wrist, a call from Sheryl.

Truth be told, Sheryl had never left and was lurking outside with an eye on things.

When she saw the ambulance arrive, she figured her poison had done its job and hurried to ask the security guard what had happened.

To her shock, the guard told her a man and a woman had been poisoned. Could it be Fredric and Jelena?

To confirm her fears, she quickly dialed Nina.

Nina slipped away to a secluded corner.

"Nina, who did you give the chocolate to?" asked Sheryl.

Nina was fuming. She shouted, "Mom, you lied to me. You poisoned the chocolate. You're a liar. I'm so disappointed in you."

Tears streamed down Sheryl's cheeks as she replied, "Nina, do you know why I divorced your dad and got kicked out of the Stirling family by Aurelia and Jelena? They conspired against me. I've been barely hanging on. You're my daughter. If you don't help me, who will? Do you want to see your mother destroyed by them?"

"Aunt Aurelia would never do that. You were the one who desecrated graves and that's why the elders banished you."

"They set me up and hired some wizards to trick me into doing it."

"But Ms. Jelena said she won't marry my dad. She already turned down his proposal. Aunt Aurelia doesn't want her to marry dad either."

Sheryl snorted. "Jelena is just trying to spite me because of Joyce. That's why she deserves to die."

Nina sniffled, "And what about Kane? He's just a kid and he never hurt you. He even voted for you at the family council. Why do you want to poison him?"

Sheryl clenched her teeth, "Because he's Aurelia's son. If he doesn't die, he'll come after us one day."
