Seth was one of the most promising young men.
His company in Sugden had developed steadily in a positive direction.
It would be helpful to stabilize the board if he took over Klein Silk Fabric in Seacisco.
When Seth was informed that there was a beautiful lady waiting downstairs, he thought it was Julia. He wondered why she hadn’t given him a heads up in advance that she was going to stop by Seth was a little surprised to see that his visitor was not Julia but Charis.
The Turner family was well-known in the entertainment and fashion industries.
Although these were not the major economic businesses, capital laundering in recent years always had something to do with the entertainment industry.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Turner,” Seth said in a gentle and easy-going manner, while he squinted slightly from his curious, thoughtful frown.
“What brings you here today? The last time I saw you, you were still in college.”
Seth remembered that the last time he met with Charis was before he went to Sugden.
At that time, she was a simple, young girl who was infatuated with Sebastian to the degree of obsession. Charis made her way straight into the office and took a seat opposite Seth.
“Mr. Klein, I indeed have my agenda here, and I’m sure you’ll be interested in my proposal. So let’s just cut to the chase, shall we?”
She then explained everything to him and requested that he assisted her.
Seth was wary of Charis because he knew full well that she loved Sebastian.
Even though her love now seemed to have turned to acidic hatred, no one knew what a woman driven crazy by love like her would do the next second.
With desperation in her eyes, Charis said, “Sebastian is too ruthless to me. He can’t see how well I treat him. All he cares about is Natalie. I’m nothing to him. Maybe he even hates me now.”
Thinking of the indifferent look in Sebastian’s eyes that morning, Charis almost couldn’t breathe.
“I don’t care what Sebastian will do. All I want now is to kill Natalie. As long as she is dead, I will feel much better,” Charis said with firm, determined resolve.
“The Larson Group and the Klein family are now fighting. Think about it. If something happens to Natalie, it will definitely distract Sebastian and make him panic. Let’s do this together. And as a token of our sincerity, the Turner family will always give priority to the Klein family in all future projects.”
Seth thought her proposition over in his mind. He leaned back in the leather chair, picked up the lighter, and lit a cigarette.
“Let me think about it.” Seth’s jaw was tightened. His face was soft and harmless.
At this moment, however, he looked a bit insidious despite the softness of his expression. His eyes were calm yet menacing at the same time.
In Charis’ memory, Seth had always been the most excellent child in the Klein family. He was modest, polite, and decent.
She had never seen this side of his character until this very moment.
“I will help you ask my mother, but Miss Turner, I still want to remind you that if affection becomes an obsession, it will harm both others and yourself.”
Seth peered at Charis quietly through the hovering smoke.
Charis stood up and looked back at him with a faint smile, but the smile was so faint that it completely disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.
Her voice was calm and even as she replied, “There’s no turning back already. I want people to go to hell with me. The more, the better.”
After saying that, she left. Seth smiled, took another drag of his cigarette, and snuffed it out in the silver ashtray.
If Charis succeeded, he would also benefit from it. It was good for the Klein family if Natalie were to die. If something happened to her, Sebastian would definitely have no time to take care of Larson Group.
The next day, Seth made his way to the prison facility.
Being incarcerated had caused Elissa to look much more haggard than ever.
Now she hated Sebastian to the core.
“How are you doing?”
Seth was born to be indifferent and collected.
Even though he saw Elissa is such a haggard state, he still maintained his expressionless composure.
“You can see for yourself.
Anyway, did you just say that the girl of the Turner family wanted to do something to Natalie? Isn’t it great news that she wants to do the dirty work for us?”
Elissa sneered and continued, “There is the contact information of the seller on the computer in my room. Give it to Charis.”
Soon, Seth came to Charis with what she had asked for.
“Is this real?”
She didn’t expect things to move so fast. It had only been two days.
Seth smiled at her, but his eyes were devoid of warmth.
“You can pay my mother a visit in person and ask her if it’s real or not if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I’ve upheld my end of the deal.I hope you will, too.”
“I’ve already talked to my father about your… ‘plight’. He’ll know what to do.”
With a snort, Charis turned around and left.
She went back home, opened her computer, and logged in to the website that Seth gave her. She had to input several passwords and answer countless questions, but in the end, she made it to the dark web.
Back when Charis was still in college, she had logged into the dark web once out of curiosity.
There were indeed all kinds of people in it-psychopaths, murderers, escaped convicts, drug addicts, and so on. Illegal transactions such as human trafficking and organ selling were rampant there.
With Seth’s help, she was able to find the poison seller on the dark web.
The web page was still the same, but a very simple dialog box popped up.
Charis described the poison that Elissa had bought and asked the seller if he still had it or anything similar to it.
Soon, she received a reply.
“No. That person you mentioned has already asked me for that poison twice. It’s something that was developed twenty years ago. Where’s the fun in studying something similar?”
Charis sighed in disappointment.
Was this opportunity about to slip through her fingers? Just then, another sentence popped up in the dialog box.
“Who’re you trying to get rid of? I can check if there are any other drugs that’ll meet your requirements.Quality and low price guaranteed.”
Charis rolled her eyes.
Clearly, this seller just wanted to make some money off of her. But Charis decided to tell the seller her situation without scruples.
After all, IP addresses were untraceable in the dark web and she didn’t have to worry about censoring anything.
“I need to get rid of a woman. She took my man away from me.”
The seller replied quickly, “It’s easy to kill a person. But if you kill the lover of your loved one, he’ll only miss her. You’ll never be able to defeat a dead person. Isn’t that more annoying? It’d be better to make your loved one forget all about his lover. I have something that can help with that.”
Charis’s eyes widened when she read this. How could there be such a good thing?
“You have a drug that can erase one’s memories?”
