Chapter 214: Sow Discord


    Seeing the look on J’s face, Charis hurriedly held her hand.


    “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. It’s all in the past. Oh, God. Hasn’t Ethan told you?” Licking her


    pale lips, J forced a smile.


    “No. Were you two in a rtionship?” J felt the two must have been together before. Why else


    would Ethan hide the truth about Charis? Every time she tried asking about her, he would always try


    changing the topic or give a perfunctory answer. Charis shook her head and let go of J’s hand.


    “It’s all in the past. Forget it. It will only ruin your current rtionship with him. Besides, I think it would


    be better for you to hear it from Ethan himself. Miss Lind, please don’t take my words to heart.” She


    smiled wryly.


    Charis’s words only piqued J’s curiosity.


    The ambiguous answer made her wonder about the kind of rtionship she shared with Ethan. A


    thousand thoughts began to swarm in her mind.


    “You said it was in the past, so why don’t you tell me?” J asked, restraining her anger. She couldn’t


    understand why she was angry.


    “No. I don’t want to talk about it. I hope you don’t mind. Forget about what I said. Let bygones be


    bygones. Ethan is married now, and I only wish the best for you both.” Charis smiled.


    Although she seemed calm, the sadness was evident in her eyes. J could tell that Charis still had


    feelings for Ethan, and she wouldn’t give up.


    ‘‘No wonder Charis called Ethan in the middle of the night. She isn’t stupid enough to forget the time


    difference. She must have done it on purpose” thought J.


    “Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.” With that, J stormed out of the office. She


    always had an inkling that Ethan was hiding something from her. He had only told her that Charis was


    just his ssmate, but not once did he mention that Charis liked him.


    J’s suspicion intensified; she strongly believed Ethan was hiding something from her. Acent


    smile emerged on Charis’s face as she watched J walk away, she had told everything she wanted


    to say and sown the seeds of suspicion in J’s mind. She had managed to stir her peace by giving


    ambiguous answers to her desperate questions.


    Jealousy simmered in J’s heart. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn’t concentrate on anything.


    When it was time to leave, Kent called her again.


    “We have finalized the design today. I think it deserves a celebration. Would you like to join me for


    dinner?” J’s mind flitted to the proud,cent smile on Charis’s face earlier.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.” Kent had prepared himself to face another rejection. But excitement


    bubbled up in her heart when he heard her answer. It looked like all his efforts had finally paid off. He


    quickly booked a table in an exquisite restaurant in a five-star hotel with floors of guest rooms just


    upstairs, so it would be convenient for him to take her up for some after-party after dinner.


    Kent picked J from the office and drove her to the hotel. The two got out of the car and walked


    inside. Meanwhile, Garrett brought his girlfriend to the same hotel. Just as he was about to take a bite


    of food, his gaze fell on Kent.He stopped and looked intently to see the man’stest conquest. Garrett’s


    eyes widened in horror when he saw J walking beside him.
