Cherreads

Chapter 4 - A Slap Of Truth

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Harley. They saw that his pale body was indeed covered with frightening red rashes, and his face was flushed red due to difficulty in breathing. It looked very dangerous. In no time, the child was drenched in sweat. His face was not only pale but was gradually turning blue.Upon seeing this, many people were terrified.

Cerillo bellowed with rage,"Where's the doctor? Get the doctor here immediately!"

Those who were present at the banquet were either business partners or important figures in the political field; there were no doctors.

"Since Harley is severely allergic, all guests have been rigorously screened before entering. Where could this allergen have come from?"

"It must be someone close who had the opportunity to commit this!"At this moment, someone asked, "Where's Madam Julissa?"

Once everyone heard this, they froze. Could it... be her? "I think I just saw Madam Julissa dragging her luggage out!" someone in the crowd quipped. "What is she doing, dragging her luggage around for no reason?" "Could she be trying to murder Harley and then escape out of fear of punishment?"

Cerillo stiffened, unable to suppress the fury which subsequently exploded. He had known all along that Julissa was planning to elope with Garvit on the same day, so he had already locked her in the bedroom. Unexpectedly, she would not even spare her son! Apart from anger, there was a hysterical ache in his heart.Did she truly... hate him that much? Did she detest him to the point where she would not even spare her own child?

Cerillo, looking at his anguished son with red-rimmed eyes, immediately decided to pick up his child and shouted, "Prepare the car!"

That shout was filled with hysteria. Mooresa knew that Cerillo had become fully convinced that Julissa wanted to kill Harley and felt an evil joy in her heart. She quickly followed after him.

When Julissa rushed over in a hurry after sensing the commotion, she immediately felt something was amiss. She ran toward the crowd, yelling loudly, "Make way. Please give me some space!" Hearing Julissa's voice, Cerillo abruptly turned around.Mooresa also froze, unable to believe what she saw, and turned to look. A familiar figure caught her eye, panting heavily with a flushed face. It was clear to her that she had run over frantically. Everyone looked over. Many people could not help but be attracted by what they saw.

How stunning! Even though she had not put on any makeup and her hair was all messed up because of how quickly she rushed over, she still looked beautiful! With just one glance, it was enough to attract everyone's attention to the scene. Stunningly captivating that no one could take their eyes off her.

This figure... If it was not Julissa, that was said to have eloped!

"Julissa?" A cry of surprise laced with disbelief. The crowd stirred. "Didn't someone say that Julissa eloped?" "She's so beautiful. She looks stunning even without makeup!"

"I thought Mooresa would be the most beautiful one today, but I didn't expect..."There was a sharp glint in Cerillo's eyes. How did she manage to escape?

Mooresa stared at her in disbelief. She left, didn't she?

According to the original plan, Yousra would have been the one to meet her and join Garvit. At this point, Julissa should have already eloped with Garvit, so why would she be here? There was a moment of panic in Mooresa's eyes, but she calmed herself down. She appeared ecstatic, rushed forward, and called out, "Julissa, l'm glad you've finally arrived! Harley, he.... Julissa completely ignored Mooresa's presence and stormed in.

In the next second, she found herself in the hateful, bloodshot gaze of Cerillo. A gaze akin to a demon's.She stiffened slightly, instinctively feeling fear. But now was not the time to fear. She lunged toward her son.

Seeing her son's ashen face, her eyes instantly reddened. Julissa cried out with a trembling voice, "Harley, Mommy's here..."

"Don't touch my son!" Cerillo shouted, grasping Julissa's hand. The force of his grip felt as if it could shatter her wrist! His breathing was ragged, his eyes bloodshot. His hands that held Harley were even trembling. The onlookers noticed that Julissa was casually dressed, completely oblivious to her son's upcoming birthday party. Everyone was mulling over silently. As expected, she planned to take flight and flee the country!Julissa knew that in everyone's heart, they had already assumed she was the culprit.

In her previous life, because she eloped with Garvit, everyone thought that she had caused Harley's death. They concluded she had done this to ensure a carefree flight of love with Garvit. But, it was not her... The resentment and bitterness piled up from two lifetimes surged like a tide.Trembling slightly, Julissa looked straight into Cerillo's eyes, feigning calm as she pleaded, "Give Harley to me. I can save him. Please, Cerillo!"

In her previous life, what she regretted the most was blindly trusting the despicable couple. She was still filled with regret when her son passed away. She had remorsefully fantasized countless times late at night. If she could start over, she would definitely live her current life well and save her son...She went back to university to continue her studies in traditional medicine. She even stayed with a prestigious traditional medicine family to prepare herself just for this day! Cerillo gazed at Julissa's remorseful face in front of him and found it laughable.

Seeing the situation, Mooresa covered her face and sobbed weakly. "Julissa, I know how deep your feelings are for that man, but Harley is only three years old. He's a living person, your flesh and blood! Even if you want to be with that man again, you can't just do this to Harley..."

Here it came again. Again! Julissa sneered.

Behind every seemingly supportive word from Mooresa was an intention to push her into the abyss. As expected, as soon as Mooresa's words fell, many people around them could not contain their anger. "This is too outrageous!" "Just because of a man, she didn't even spare her own son. She's simply a monster!" Everyone had already treated her as a murderer.

Julissa shot a glare fiercely at Mooresa.

Those beautiful red eyes that were full of malice were about to tear her apart! Like a demon straight out of hell.Mooresa only felt a sudden rise of coldness in her body and took a step back uncontrollably. How. How terrifying! Was this really Julissa?

In the next moment, Julissa raised her hand and slapped Mooresa across the face.

Smack! The sound of the slap stunned everyone.What... What.. What just happened? Mooresa covered her cheek, her eyes full of shock. "You... How dare you hit me!" "Yes, I hit you!" Julissa shouted angrily. "I'm standing right here, and you openly implied that I'm the murderer. What are you up to?" Mooresa was startled, totally unsuspecting that Julissa would react so quickly. She panicked for a moment. "I.

In the next instant, Julissa had already turned to those around her and yelled loudly, "If Harley dies, I'll die with him!"
