Jocelyn intended to get along well with Charis, and the latter seemed to happily play along. After their
meeting in the restaurant, Charis often took Jocelyn out for lunch and shopping.
“You don’t have to save money for my dad. He is a wealthy man, after all. Besides, you are still young.
Now is the time to enjoy life.” Charis held Jocelyn’s hand, took her into a luxury store, and brought
several Birkins bags.
Jocelyn was used to squandering money and had always led a decadent life. She wanted to be humble
and sweet before Charis. However, after hearing her statement, Jocelyn felt she had finally found a
friend who shared the same view about life.
“You’re right. Girls should pamper themselves. But Mr. Turner just thinks I’m wasting money.” Jocelyn
pouted.
“My father doesn’t care about how much money I spend. He has never said no to me and has given me
everything I want. He believes I deserve the best. I mean, that’s what all fathers want for their
daughters. But I know my father just fears that I might end up marrying a poor boy. If he thinks you
spend too much money, I’ll talk to him about it. After all, we are family. If you still feel awkward or
embarrassed, consider me your best friend. Anyway, all my friends are abroad. I don’t know anyone
here. I liked you the moment I saw you. We clicked instantly.” Charis grinned. As expected, Jocelyn fell
for her sugar-coated remarks.
“Okay. We are best friends from now on.” Jocelyn smiled. She trusted Charis with all her heart and
shared everything with her.
The two walked around the mall. It took them all morning to shop and then they found a perfect French
bistro for lunch.
Charis learned from Jocelyn that Fiona was in jail because she had attempted to harm Janet. The Lind
family had also fallen into a decline. Charis immediately guessed that Brandon had been Janet’s secret
guardian angel the entire time.
“By the way, you told me Janet is the reason why your mother is in jail. Do you think Janet is capable of
pulling that off? Do you need my help to find out who is really behind all this?” Charis asked, pretending
to sympathize with Jocelyn.
“Can you do that?” Jocelyn’s eyes widened with excitement.
“Of course. It’s no big deal. Our family has connections with several big shots in the city.”
Charis feared that Brandon might find out about her plan, so she couldn’t get directly involved in it.
However, she could drive a wedge between Jocelyn and Janet, manipulating the former to ruin Janet’s
life. Helping Jocelyn was no big deal because Charis needed her to fulfill the plan.
A day later, Charis asked Jocelyn to meet with her again.
“Your family’s problem has something to do with Brandon Larson, the CEO of the Larson Group.”
Charis handed all the evidence to Jocelyn.
“What? But why is he doing all this? We are not involved with him in any way.” Although Jocelyn didn’t
know much about Brandon, she knew he was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Seacisco.
Charis pursed her lips and pretended to think. “You got punished right after something happened to
Janet. Do you think it’s a coincidence?”
The frown on Jocelyn’s forehead deepened. Knowing her plan was working, Charis continued. “Well, I
don’t think you know this. As a senior manager of the Larson Group, I heard that Brandon has been
paying special attention to Janet. I don’t know much about her, and it’s immoral to gossip behind her
back. But we have no choice but to probe the possibilities. Do you think Janet might have hooked up
with Brandon? He is probably smitten by her, so he sent your mother to jail for trying to harm her.”
Jocelyn clenched the teacup until her knuckles turned white. Her jaw tightened; she was seething with
rage. “That slut is capable of doing it! You’re right Charis. She must have slept with Brandon. That’s
why he had sent my mother to jail. He wanted to impress her! Or maybe it was she who asked him to
do this for her!”
