Almost everyone in the business world was excited to watch a good show.
Would the Larson Group defeat the Klein family or would the Klein family trample over the Larson Group? Too many things had happened during this period of time, and it seemed that the business world of Seacisco was about to change greatly.
Charis thought that Sebastian would be too busy to care about her, so she continued to focus on her career.
She also learned from Luke that some time ago, Sebastian had put Elissa behind bars. It was said that Elissa had poisoned Natalie, nearly killing the latter.
Charis felt bad that Natalie survived the whole ordeal.
Charis shook her head, burying those messy thoughts in the back of her mind.
She hadn’t seen Sebastian in a long time.
When she saw him again, her suppressed feelings surged up all of a sudden.
She couldn’t resist approaching him and striking up a conversation.
“Brandon, when did you get back to Seacisco?”
Charis walked over and greeted the man with a decent smile, as if nothing had happened in the past.
Sebastian’s first reaction was not to respond to her, but to stand up and step in between her and Natalie.He carefully protected Natalie behind him, as if Charis were a man-eating demon.
Charis smiled bitterly.
“Is this really necessary? Brandon, we’ve known each other for years, but now you see me as an enemy.Am I so terrible in your eyes?”
She felt ridiculous. She used to be Brandon’s classmate and business partner. She had thought that their relationship wouldn’t have become so strained even if they had a falling out.
Standing over Charis domineeringly, Sebastian said in a cold voice, “I’ve told you very clearly that you’re dead to me. Who knows what you’ll try to do to my wife again? “
“You…”
Charis stepped back subconsciously. She felt her heart shatter into a thousand pieces and tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt wronged and helpless. She had done so much for this man, yet he hated her to the core.
Sebastian frowned, his good mood ruined by Charis.
Ignoring Charis, he turned and patted Natalie on the back.
“There’s a really nice seafood restaurant here.Do you want to go there?”
After swallowing the last of her sandwich, Natalie nodded obediently.
While Sebastian took her away, she looked over her shoulder and glanced at Charis.
The latter’s eyes were burning with hatred and jealousy.
Natalie would probably never forget the look in Charis’s eye for the rest of her life.
Charis stood there and watched as Sebastian and Natalie leave. She felt completely and utterly powerless. She knew that no matter what she did, she wouldn’t be able to turn back time with Sebastian. But she refused to give up.
Getting Brandon was her dream for the longest time.
Although she had reached rock bottom now, she couldn’t just stand by and watch Natalie being happy.
Just then, a harsh ringtone interrupted Charis’s thoughts. She wiped her tears away and picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
“Miss Turner, something bad happened! It’s one of our employees! She suddenly fainted on the beach!”
It was another employee of Turner Group calling. Her voice sounded particularly anxious.
Charis quickly calmed down and started giving orders.
“Maybe it’s a heatstroke. Take her to the seaside medical station first. I’ll be right there.”
“No, no, it’s nothing like that, Miss Turner. I think she encountered some poisonous fish or something!”
The employee was so panic-stricken that she couldn’t speak coherently.
“Alright.Don’t worry. I’ll be right there.”
Charis tried to comfort the employee.
Smoothing her hair, she rushed over to the beach. It was just a little past ten o’clock.
The sun was getting higher and the sand was already scorching hot.
When Charis arrived at the scene, several people were trying to give the unconscious employee CPR. She rushed headlong into the crowd.
When she got a closer look at the unconscious employee’s body, she saw all the angry rashes on her arms and legs, which made Chans’s skin crawl.
Taking a deep breath, Charis took off her coat to cover the unconscious employee’s body while giving instructions to the others.
“It seems she’s been stung by some kind of jellyfish. We have to rush her to the hospital. Contact the rest of the company; tell everyone to gather here after packing their things. I’m sorry but the rest of the trip has to be canceled. I promise we’ll select a safer spot next time. You can also recommend a place you’d like to see, if ever. Now go!”
The company trip had to be canceled because of this accident, which naturally disappointed the employees.
They all reluctantly collected their things and regrouped at the hotel.
Charis also noticed that everyone was in low spirits, so she asked her assistant to book enough tables in the hotel restaurant to treat all her staff to a hearty lunch to cheer them up
After dealing with this matter, Charis suddenly thought about how Elissa had attempted to poison Natalie.It was said that Natalie nearly died at the time because the poison had caused a cardiac arrest.
If it weren’t for the fact that her colleagues had taken action in time, she wouldn’t have survived that ordeal.
At first, nobody suspected foul play.
They all thought that her heart attack was due to stress and exhaustion.
Perhaps poisoning was the method to go…
Charis began to contemplate this plan.If she could poison Natalie and get her to die of natural-looking causes, no one would know that she was the murderer.
If she couldn’t be with Sebastian, nobody could—not even Natalie. But she didn’t know where Elissa had gotten her hands on such a poison, nor if there was anything else on the market that had the same effect.
Thinking of this, Charis drove back home in a hurry.
Before she enacted this plan, she had to first try asking Elissa about the poison.
Charis had once taken a chance and visited Jeff Gillian in prison but she was later discovered by Sebastian. She had learned her lesson back then and knew much better now, so she was certain that it was unwise for her to personally visit Elissa in prison this time.
The Klein family members could pay Elissa a visit in jail most naturally, without raising much suspicion, and now was the best time.
The Klein family and the Larson Group had reached an impasse. If she wanted to deal with Sebastian’s wife, the Klein family would definitely support her.
As soon as Charis thought about that, she went to Klein Silk Fabric.

In the Klein Silk Fabric office building, Seth had temporarily taken over the business since Ritchie had been paralyzed.
Too many things had happened this past month, which made Patrick actually feel physically and mentally exhausted.
