“Of course. Not only that, you can also accurately control how long the effect will last by manipulating the dosage.”
It sounded too good to be true…
So Charis started to suspect that the seller was lying.
But the drugs Elissa had bought off of him were indeed effective.
Thinking of this, Charis decided there’d be no harm in trying.
Anyway, she had plenty of money.
She wanted to erase all of Brandon’s memories of Natalie, which meant erasing everything in the past two years.
As long as he forgot Natalie, he could go back to himself from two years ago.
Charis believed that based on their deep friendship before, she would have a bigger chance to win his heart if Natalie was out of the picture.
If she could get her hands on those drugs, she’d finally be able to have Brandon all to herself.
Charis typed in the dialog box, “I need him to lose about two and a half years’ worth of memory. Is that possible?”
“Sure thing. I’ll send you a link. You pay and leave me the address. I’ll deliver the drug to you in three days.”
Before long, the dealer sent her a link that allowed her to make an online payment.
The cost of the drug was considerably high.
Charis sneered at the blood-sucking dealer in her mind for charging her five million.
In truth, five million was just a drop in the ocean for Charis.
The cost was not a matter of concern for her, she only cared about whether it would work or not. She had no choice but to take the risk, no matter what the cost.
Just as long as she could make Natalie suffer, she didn’t care about the money. It would all be worth it as long as she could be with Brandon in the end.
“Are you sure the drug will work? I am not someone to be trifled with. If you dare to trick me, you will definitely regret it.”
Charis wasn’t going to accept any cheating.
The seller reassured her, “The people who deal with me are not ordinary people. If I were a liar, I wouldn’t have been in this business for more than twenty years.”
Charis paused to think for a while before she agreed.
After all, this was the same drug dealer Elissa had dealt with twenty years ago.
The fact that he was still in business convinced her that he must have been a man of his word.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted this long in this business.
Those who lurked in the dark web were not ordinary people after all.
When Charis paid and filled in the address, out of caution, she gave the address of an empty villa near her home.
The owner of the villa had emigrated to Canada, and Charis also left a note stating that the package should be placed at the gate of the villa.
Two days later, when she was jogging past that villa, she saw a parcel in front of the gate. She cautiously picked up the package and brought it home when no one was around.
As soon as Charis got back home, she opened the tightly wrapped package.
Finally, she had the drug and an application guidance booklet.
The drug was to be taken orally.
Although she had received the drug in hand, the hard part would be getting Brandon to take it.
Moreover, she would have to carry out this operation without arousing any suspicion.
After all, Brandon was a male in his prime. He wouldn’t just lose his memory out of the blue.
An orchestrated accident would have to do the job.
Charis patted herself on the head and sat back on the chair, trying to calm herself down. She had to think it over in great detail.
Brandon losing his memory would only be the start as her path to success entailed far more troublesome things.
The whole world knew about Brandon and Natalie’s marriage.
Even if he were to lose his memory, Charis couldn’t go back to the past and change that. How could she take Natalie’s place and be with him?
After all, she couldn’t make everyone lose their memories, so she had to come up with a solution really quick.
Charis carefully read the manual that came inside the package.
The drug had a shelf life of six months, which meant that she still had time to plan for it. She breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
This time, she had to be prepared for anything in case something unexpected were to happen again.
Initially, Natalie had only planned to stay one night at the beach. However, the seaside was so beautiful, and Sebastian hadn’t relaxed in so long, so they decided to stay the whole weekend.
Come Monday, Natalie went back to Barnes. She felt bad for asking for a week’s leave.
Moreover, she hadn’t been able to contact Laney ever since she left her house. Natalie was worried that something might’ve happened to Laney, but Sebastian kept reassuring her that Laney was a tough woman and a bodyguard.
If anyone could protect her from harm, it would be herself.
Still, Natalie went directly to Laney’s apartment when she landed in Barnes. She rang the doorbell a couple of times before the door was finally opened.
“Laney, you haven’t replied to any of my texts.Did you ever stop to consider how worried I’d be?” Natalie pulled a long face.She had brought with her two bags of groceries.
Laney was by no means a good cook, so Natalie knew that Laney hadn’t been taking care of herself while she was gone.
Laney stepped aside and let Natalie in. She was still in low spirits, but she managed to force a smile.
“Sorry. My phone’s screen broke the day you left, so I had it repaired and didn’t get it back until today.”
Looking at the dullness in her eyes, Natalie didn’t have the heart to scold her again.
Instead, she went straight to the kitchen and got busy.
Soon, the sound of vegetables being chopped echoed in the apartment.
Laney stood by the kitchen counter and watched Natalie cook absentmindedly.
Seeing how listless she looked, Natalie sighed.
“What’s on your mind? Tell me.Maybe I can help.”
“Garrett used to come to me all the time, with all kinds of excuses. But ever since I rejected him, he has never showed up,” Laney said in a low voice.
Natalie stopped what she was doing and looked at Laney seriously.
“If you feel sad without him, then be with him. Don’t worry about what might happen in the future and just enjoy being with him.”
Laney shook her head.
