Chapter 391


    “You can’t continue like this. I know a psychologist who is very good at what they do. You should go


    see them.”


    Tears started rolling down Charis’ cheeks as she put her trembling hands on the desk. She knew the


    day woulde when Brandon would let her go, sooner orter. And this was it! “Do you think I’m


    crazy?” she asked with a trembling voice.


    Brandon shook his head and exined his reasoning patiently. “I don’t think you’re crazy, but I do


    believe your state of mind is delicate right now. I understand how you feel. I don’t want to me you,


    but I strongly suggest you seek professional help. Otherwise, it will affect your work and life in the


    future.”


    Charis clenched her fists tightly. In her eyes, Brandon was just making excuses. She knew he must be


    upset with her. After all, her face was disfigured now, and she couldn’t work as skillfully as before. How


    could he possibly fall in love with her?


    “Okay, I hear you,” she scoffed coldly. As soon as she left Brandon’s office, she copsed and ran out


    crying, not taking his business card. Obviously, she didn’t want to see a psychologist.


    Rubbing his aching temples, Brandon waved and sighed. In her current fragile state, Charis couldn’t do


    anything right. But considering the fact that they were friends, he couldn’t just kick her out of the Larson


    Group. He could only hope that she would figure things out.


    At first, Natalie didn’t realize how bad Charis had be until Brandon informed her about the


    seriousness of the situation. He also saw this as the perfect opportunity.


    Charis used to be a serene and intriguing woman, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint her


    vulnerabilities. But now, she was at her most fragile state. Finally, it was time for Natalie to move


    forward.


    From Brandon’s conversation with Charis, she rarely left her office or spoke to anyone. She didn’t want


    to face the gazes of the intrigued employees, nor did she want to fight with anyone and give Brandon


    one more reason to push her away.

    Given her fragile mental state, it was difficult for her to control her temper now. She knew better than


    anyone that she could barely keep calm in these days. The more she tried, the worse things got.


    At that moment, she heard the door open to her office. Thinking it was just her assistant who came to


    deliver some documents, she didn’t bother to look up from her desk. “Put the documents on the table,”


    she said absentmindedly. But a familiar voice sounded. Charis raised her head and met Natalie’s


    smiling eyes.


    “Mrs. Larson, do you have a date? If not, please get out of my office,” Charis said hatefully.


    This woman must havee just to make fun of her. Ignoring her refusal, Natalie entered the office


    and calmly looked Charis up and down. Less than a month had passed since thest time they saw


    each other, but Charis seemed to havepletely transformed into a different woman. Although


    Natalie couldn’t see her face with her mask and scarf, she could tell that Charis was about to lose her


    temper.


    “We need to talk, Miss Turner,” Natalie kept her smile. They were at the headquarters of the Larson


    Group, and she was sure Charis didn’t know. She wouldn’t dare to chase her away. Charis gritted her


    teeth angrily.


    Just looking at Natalie made her want to skin the dog alive. But since Natalie was the wife of the CEO,


    she had to be courteous to her. “Then please sit down, Mrs. Larson,” she said with stiffness.


    Charis unconsciously wrapped herself tighter in her coat, feeling ufortable and even a little shy


    under Natalie’s intense gaze. Natalie sat on the sofa and crossed her legs with elegance. “You set fire


    to the haunted house to kill me, right?” Charis’s entire body stiffened, as if she had been struck by


    lightning. After a moment of silence, she stammered, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    “Do you need a mirror to see yourself now? How do you see yourself?” Natalie’s smile widened, and


    her eyes shone dangerously.


    “You have what you deserve, Charis. You failed to kill me in that fire, and now I’ve managed to turn you


    into a beast. How are you feeling?” Charis bit her lower lip hard, forcing herself to calm down.


    She wasn’t stupid; she realized that Natalie was deliberately trying to elicit a confession. She was


    probably even recording their conversation right now.


    “I said I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why would I want to kill you? You are Mrs. Larson, and I


    respect you. For the sake of my friendship with Brandon, I’ll forget what you just said. I have work to


    do. You can leave when you’re done with that cup of tea.” Charis refused to engage in this


    conversation with Natalie. She was afraid of losing control of her emotions and getting into a fight.


    “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I simply enjoy seeing you like this,” said Natalie with a smile. “I


    mean, you wrap up to cover your whole body now, right? What makes you stink. I know that my


    husband gets so upset every time he sees you like this.” Charis’s nostrils red, but she still did her


    best to remain calm.


    However, every word that came out of Natalie’s mouth hurt her deeply. The audacity of mentioning


    Brandon! How could Charis withstand such a blow? “Get out of my sight right now!” Charis stood up


    suddenly and roared at the top of her lungs.


    Seeing that she had gotten what she wanted, Natalie took her bag and sneered proudly, “I was about to


    go anyway. I feel bad just looking at you like that. Now that you’re an ugly monster, you should give up


    your dream of being with Brandon. You don’t deserve it!”


    Herst words finally pushed Charis over the edge. She was furious and lost control of her mind


    completely. She picked up the kettle of hot water from the table and threw it at Natalie.
