Chapter 550: Don’t Look Back 

"Janet would never do the things you have done," Ethan said, his voice void of emotion.

His indifference made Charis cry even harder.She had never cried like this in her entire life.

Since the moment she started working with Ethan, she had never dared to show too much affection forhim.She thought a man as mature and put together as Ethan would probably like a woman who wasalso as decisive and restrained.

"I wouldn‘t have done those things if Janet never showed up.You left me no choice! Ethan, do youreally think you‘re faultless? I‘ve loved you all these years yet you turned a blind eye to it! You could‘vejust told me that you had no feelings for me, but you always kept me guessing..." Her voice broke asshe spoke.

Charis murmured softly, "How could I get you back if I just sat there and did nothing?"

"I thought not showing you any affection in return was clear enough of a message." Ethan frowned.

"I used to admire you as a capable business partner, but now I have nothing but disgust for you."

After saying that, Ethan turned around to leave.He didn‘t want to have anything to do with thisdespicable woman anymore.

When he passed by Luke and Catherine, he shot them a cold glance and warned, "Keep your daughterin line, or else she might end up in a miserable position."

Then he left.

Catherine had understood what was going on.

Heaving a long sigh, she helped up the crying Charis and shook her head.

"You’ve always been a smart girl, Charis.How could your judgment get so muddy this time? And whyare you so hung up on that man? There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

Catherine first thought that the reason why Charis went to work in the Larson Group was that she likedBrandon.

However, as the Larson Group developed, she started to believe Charis chose to stay there becauseshe saw potential in the company, not because she liked Brandon.

As an experienced woman, Catherine knew that any woman who valued love more than her owncareer and even life would come to no good end.

Charis burst into tears.She shook her head and cried, "He‘s the only man I‘ve ever loved.I won‘t behappy if I can‘t have him.And if I can‘t have him, neither can anyone else!"

Catherine sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Words of reason would do no help.

Charis had always been a stubborn girl.She would stop at nothing if she had set her mind to it.

"If that‘s the way it‘s going to be, then you have to at least protect yourself.You know how powerfulBrandon is.If he really wants to hurt you, no one can stop him.I defended you earlier because I wasafraid that he would hurt you.But if we really fought against the Larson Group, both sides would suffergreat losses.Your father and I have worked hard all our lives for the Turner Group.Are you going tothrow away our lives‘ work just because you love that man?"

Catherine sighed helplessly and handed her daughter a tissue.She tried to talk some sense into herdaughter, hoping the latter would see the light.

Charis still had a bright future ahead of her.It wasn‘t worth it to ruin her life over a man.

What‘s more, the way Brandon looked at her just now–his eyes were simply full of disgust.

It was the stupidest thing in the world to try to win the heart of a man who hated you.

Charis fell silent and wiped away her tears.

No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
