Chapter 72 Did You Do It?

In less than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. Then, Ben pushed the door open and came in. "Mr. Yusuf, the person is here." "You may leave." Damon nodded slightly. "Yes, sir." Ben turned around, walked out of the room, and closed the door. "Mr. Yusuf, why are you looking for me?" Sherry stood at the door with a guilty conscience. "Come here." Damon did not look up. He sat on the sofa and flipped through the magazine on his knees. Looking at this posture, Sherry felt cold sweat on her back. She clenched her hands and slowly moved forward. After the lesson last time, she had understood how scary this man could be. On the surface, he was calm, but he was able to kill people imperceptibly. Damon looked up and saw that her movements were slow and her expression was stiff. He smiled and asked, "Did the mango last time taste good?" At the mention of mango, Sherry's stomach could not help but feel sour. She endured the discomfort and took a deep breath. "It's... delicious..." It had been so delicious that she did not want to eat mango ever again! "Good if it's delicious," Damon said softly. "Where were you at around 8:30 last night?" "I... I was eating with everyone in the private room." "Did you go out?" "I went to the bathroom twice..." Damon looked at her expression and continued to ask, "Did you know that Adele fell into the pool yesterday?" Hearing the word Adele, Sherry's face turned white, "I know... Mr. Yusuf, you wouldn't suspect that I did it, right?" "You didn't do it?" Damon raised his eyebrows. "No! I was drinking with everyone in the private room yesterday. I went to the bathroom with Jane. You can ask her if you don't believe me! I didn't know where Adele had gone at all!" Sherry said with certainty. "Well, did you do anything to Adele in the bathroom of the restaurant yesterday noon?" Damon asked calmly. "I..." Sherry widened her eyes and was speechless for a moment. When she saw Adele at that time, she was indeed angry. She vented her anger on her and even splashed water on her. "Tell me about it," Damon said with a serious expression. "I didn't do it on purpose. I just accidentally splashed the water on her!" Sherry said hurriedly. "What about yesterday morning? Did you do anything to the water for the ice bucket punishment?" Yesterday morning, he and Adele had lost the game and got the ice bucket challenge. At that time, he saw Sherry wandering around the ice bucket. Later, he took responsibility and the two buckets of water were poured on him. He clearly felt that one bucket of water was much colder than the other bucket. Obviously, there was a lot of ice added. Someone had tampered with it. When Sherry heard this, her face immediately turned pale. "Mr... Mr. Yusuf, I just wanted to teach her a small lesson. Last time, because of her, I was punished and stayed in the hospital for several days. I felt uncomfortable... This time, I saw that she implicated you, so..." Hearing her say this, Damon frowned, and his heart was stifled. He had guessed what had happened to the ice bucket when he saw her wandering around the bucket. He saw that there was water on Adele's face and saw her coming out of the bathroom. These two things were done by Sherry, so he naturally associated her with the matter of Adele falling into the pool last night. He clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "Did you push her into the swimming pool?" Sherry trembled and said, "No! I just wanted to teach Adele a little lesson. How could I dare to do such a terrible thing?" Looking at her trembling body and explaining herself, it seemed that she was not lying. Damon took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Sherry, I have tolerated you for so long because of your uncle. If there is a next time, you know what to do without me saying it." "Yes! I will never do it again!" Sherry said quickly. After she left, Ben came in. Damon asked, "She was there last night?" "Yes, I asked several people. They all said that Sherry had been there all the time and went to the bathroom with others." Ben nodded. "Okay, I got it." Damon threw the magazine to the side. This matter seemed to be much more complicated than he had imagined. At the same time, in Shore Manor's high-end suite on the same floor, there was a person sitting in front of a large French window. Suddenly, the man in the wheelchair said slowly, "He had stayed there for the whole night?" "Yes, he left this morning, but he seems to be a little suspicious." Roman nodded. "Is the waiter you arranged tight-lipped? Will he tell anyone?" Kobei shook the goblet in his hand. "He is very tight-lipped, and he doesn't dare to say it out loud. The one who pushed her was him, and the one who saved her was also him. If he said it out loud, Damon would not let him go." "In your opinion, do you think he has feelings for Adele?" Kobei asked softly. Roman was silent for a moment before replying expressionlessly, "Young Master, I can't say for sure about feelings." Kobei smiled and said softly, "In that case, let's try him again." After he finished speaking, he turned to look out the window and his gaze finally stopped on the lake. "I heard that it's the Administrative Department's turn to swim in the lake today?" he muttered. "Yes." Upon hearing the answer, the smile on Kobei's face continued to rise... ..... "Bang! Bang!" "Adele, are you still awake?" Adele was still dreaming when she was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door. She got up from the bed and looked at the time. She couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her head. How did she end up sleeping until this hour? Half of the bed beside her was empty. Adele swept her gaze around before her gaze finally stopped on the piece of paper on the bedside table. "Have a good rest. We will row a boat in the lake in the morning. If you don't want to go, you can stay in the hotel." Adele curled her lips and heard the sound of Shirley knocking on the door. Only then did she react and quickly opened the door. "I'm sorry, I'm too tired," she said as soon as she opened the door. "I heard that you fell into the pool yesterday. Are you alright?" Shirley asked. "I'm fine," Adele said with a smile. "It's good that you're fine. Let's go to the lake together this morning. Do you want to go?" "Sure," Adele agreed without thinking too much. When she first arrived at Shore Manor yesterday, she was already amazed by the scenery here. Today, she could finally go out to take a look, so she naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. After changing her clothes, she followed Shirley to the gathering place by the lake. Not long after Adele arrived, she saw Damon and Ben walking over. Everyone greeted Damon. Damon nodded slightly and looked around. Finally, his eyes fell on Adele. He had clearly told her to have a good rest in the hotel. Unexpectedly, she still came. Seeing that everyone had arrived, the staff at the lake asked, "How do you guys want to play? Playing a game as well or simply touring the lake?" When Daniel heard that there was a competition, he immediately asked about the rules in high spirits. The staff explained, "The competition is to split into groups to sail. Two to four people in a group. We put some red flags in some reeds. The group with the most red flags wins." After hearing the rules of the competition, everyone wanted to play. Damon paused and swept his gaze over Adele. He cleared his throat and said, "Why don't we split up according to yesterday's group?"
