After things fell through with Charis and Ethan, Charis left the Larson Group.Afterward, many companies
offered her job opportunities but she was interested in none of them.She used to think that she liked
financial management a great deal.
But after leaving the Larson Group, it dawned on her that she wasn’t interested in finance at all.She only
did it because she wanted to help Brandon out and be closer to him.
During this time, she had been staying at her family’s home.She had been gardening with her mother,
watching TV, and attending charity auctions.
In a nut shell, she finally got to enjoy her life.
At the same time, she was very clear that she was not happy just going about these things.It wasn’t until
the Turner family got an invitation from the Larson Group that Charis had a rude awakening.It happened
to be the invitation to Brandon and Janet’s wedding.
Staring down at it, Charis lost the only hope she had been grasping on to.
For a very long time, she was depressed.She didn’t feel like eating and had been feeling agitated.She
appeared to have changed into a whole other person overnight.
The only thing she could do was to keep telling herself that at least Janet’s family background was not as
good as hers and she would not be able to hold onto her Mrs.Larson position for long.
She would appear in Brandon’s life again when his love for Janet was gone.She didn’t pay much
attention to the fact that Beal and Johanna had arrived at Seacisco.
However, when she later found out that Janet was, in fact, the daughter of the White family, there was
finally nothing left for her now.Her parents could see how devastated she had gotten.
The Turner family had always supported her to do whatever she liked.
They had never stood between her and her love for Brandon.But now, her love for him had vastly
changed.
Once love became obsession, many things were bound to be different.
Now, she would do anything in her power to get what she wanted and this was called obsession.She
wouldn’t give up until Brandon was hers and hers alone.She did everything possible to cheer herself up
and make plans to get the love of her life.She wasn’t a senior executive in the Larson Group now, so she
didn’t need to care about how others saw her.
Furthermore, Brandon had known by now how scheming she could be.
If she wanted to get Brandon, she had to get Janet out of the picture first.She stayed in Barnes for a
while and learned some more about the white family.
That was when she found out about Lila.
Back then, Lila’s real parents secretly swapped the babies in the hospital.
And now that the Whites had found out about it and Janet was back, Lila was no longer the glorified
noble lady she used to be.
Charis stared at the woman at the newspaper article.She appeared so pitiful and helpless right then.
Charis thought that Lila must think everything was just very unfair right now.
As far as she knew about human nature, Lila would definitely have something against Janet, which made
her a perfect pawn.
Charis then decided to stay in Barnes longer and even hired a private detective to keep tabs on Lila.
One night, the private detective gave her a call, saying that Lila was drinking by herself in a bar.
After changing her clothes, Charis soon got to the bar.She had to initiate her plan step by step.
The first step she had to make was to leave a good impression on Lila.
As soon as she walked into the bar, she saw with her own eyes that Lila was surrounded by several
men.
Seeing that this was her chance, she stood up for Lila and won over her trust.
Tears started to well up in Lila’s eyes as she had never been so helpless before.
Charis had just rescued her and she appeared very kind, which made Lila trust in her entirely.She
embraced Charis tightly and displayed her most vulnerable side to her.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "It’s all because of that horrible bitch! It’s because of her that my parents
don’t want me anymore!"
"If you don’t mind, you can tell me all about your troubles.You have to talk about it with someone instead
of keeping it all bottled up inside," Charis said gently.
Hearing her say that, Lila felt even worse.
Even a stranger happened to treat her so well, but her mother only spoke bad things about her in front of
Janet.
Lila curled her lips and cried even more woefully as she began to fill Charis in on everything.
