Without saying anything more, Ethan stood up abruptly and left the interrogation room. Now, he
understood everything. The pieces of the puzzle were coming together. If Charis was the mastermind
behind everything that had happened, then everything made sense.
Back in Seacisco where everything started, the only family that was powerful enough to do all those
things without leaving a trace was the Turners. And the Turner family had some connections in Barnes
as well.
Although it couldn‘t compare to how many connections they had in Seacisco, money made the world
go round. It wouldn‘t have been hard for Charis to clean up her trail.
Ethan had thought that Charis would stop after he warned her, but he was wrong. He was ruthless to
anyone who crossed the line, even if the culprit was his former classmate and partner.
When Ethan got home, Janet immediately stood up and approached him.
“Did Jeff say anything?” she asked anxiously. Her big, bright eyes were filled with worry. After what had
happened today, she lost her appetite for shopping.
She absent–mindedly wandered around the mall with Elizabeth for a while and then went back home
empty handed. “Yes. Somebody helped him get out of jail. It was Charis.”
Ethan shrugged off his coat and put his arm around Janet‘s shoulders.
“I have to go back to Seacisco for a few days.” Janet frowned slightly. Hearing Charis‘s name, she
couldn‘t say she was surprised.
“Does she really hate me that much?” Charis had tried to destroy her relationship with Ethan, but she
had already married Ethan and everyone knew it. It had been so long, Janet thought that Charis had
given up on Ethan already
“She was never fickle when it came to relationships, but even I never thought she‘d do all these
horrible things,” Ethan said in a low voice. The way she tackled her relationships was the same as how
she tackled business–she‘d do everything she had to just to achieve her goals.
“You know her well, don‘t you?” Janet stuck out her lower lip, glancing at Ethan aggrievedly. Then she
stopped in her tracks and got frustrated at herself. She was already married to Ethan. Why was she
jealous? She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
“You two have known each other a long time. Will you let her go?”
“If she goes unpunished, she‘ll only take it as encouragement to keep going further. You‘ve been in
danger so many times. First, the car accident. Then the kidnapping. Maybe she was behind all those.
What‘s terrible about all these is that she never has to get her own hands dirty. She uses others to do
her dirty work and then they take the fall.” Ethan‘s tone grew gloomy and his eyes darkened.
“She has tried to hurt you too many times. I refuse to let her go so easily.” Enveloped in Ethan‘s arms,
Janet felt the hairs on her neck stand on end.
There was no enmity between her and Charis, but Charis had tried to hurt her so many times just to
get Ethan back. Ethan packed some documents and flew back to Seacisco. At the same time, he
ordered his men in Barnes to investigate Jeff‘s early release. It turned out that he was right.
Charis had pulled some strings and got Jeff out. Charis had bribed someone working in the prison to
delete the surveillance video of her visit there. Ethan reported it to the police and the police had their
best technicians restore the video.
When the footage was restored, they were all sent to Ethan‘s computer. When Ethan‘s private plane
landed in Seacisco, he went straight to the Turner family with the evidence in tow.
