Chapter 593: Poison Is The Answer 

"You…"

Charis stepped back subconsciously.She felt her heart shatter into a thousand pieces and tears rolleddown her cheeks.She felt wronged and helpless.She had done so much for this man, yet he hated herto the core.

Ethan frowned, his good mood ruined by Charis.

Ignoring Charis, he turned and patted Janet on the back.

"There’s a really nice seafood restaurant here.Do you want to go there?"

After swallowing the last of her sandwich, Janet nodded obediently.

While Ethan took her away, she looked over her shoulder and glanced at Charis.

The latter’s eyes were burning with hatred and jealousy.

Janet would probably never forget the look in Charis’s eye for the rest of her life.

Charis stood there and watched as Ethan and Janet leave.She felt completely and utterlypowerless.She knew that no matter what she did, she wouldn’t be able to turn back time with Ethan.Butshe 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 Janet being happy.

Just then, a harsh ringtone interrupted Charis’s thoughts.She wiped her tears away and picked up thephone.

"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 employeeCPR.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 herarms 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 givinginstructions to the others.

"It seems she’s been stung by some kind of jellyfish.We have to rush her to the hospital.Contact therest of the company; tell everyone to gather here after packing their things.I’m sorry but the rest of thetrip has to be canceled.I promise we’ll select a safer spot next time.You can also recommend a placeyou’d like to see, if ever.Now go!"

The company trip had to be canceled because of this accident, which naturally disappointed theemployees.

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 tablesin 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 poisonJanet.It was said that Janet 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 thatordeal.

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 Janet and get her to die of natural-lookingcauses, no one would know that she was the murderer.

If she couldn’t be with Ethan, nobody could—not even Janet.But she didn’t know where Elissa hadgotten 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.
