Chapter 392


    Despite her calm and rxed facade, Natalie had been discreetly on high alert since she arrived. So


    when Charis tried to ssh her with boiling water, she was able to dodge it in time. The hot water


    sshed onto the floor, and a few drops managed to ssh onto Natalie’s skin, leaving red marks.


    Perfect! Now was her chance to get rid of Charis once and for all! “Help! Someone, call security! Charis


    is crazy!” Natalie yelled at the top of her lungs and fled in horror from Charis’s office.


    Charis liked to keep a close eye on employees, so her office was located on the floor where most of the


    ordinary employees worked. As soon as Natalie left Charis’s office, she caused a stir. Her words were


    like a fuse, igniting all the rancor of the employees against Charis. All the employees came up to


    Natalie and anxiously asked, “Mrs. Larson, what happened? Are you okay?”


    When Natalie spoke, her lips trembled with fear mixed with adrenaline. She pointed in the direction of


    Charis’s office and said shakily, “Charis suddenly poured hot water on me and said she felt disgusted


    when she saw my face.”


    “Oh my God! It’s getting more and more ridiculous!” the employees said horrified. Everyone started


    comining about Charis, airing their grievances. “Miss Turner must have gone mad from the fire! She


    hasn’t been the same since she came back!”


    “She has messed up a lot at work and caused countless losses to thepany! Not to mention the fact


    that she’s hit a lot of people here! And now, she’s even trying to hurt Mrs. Larson! She is definitely


    doomed now!”


    “I can’t take it anymore.”


    “Her face is so scary! I can’t keep working at the Larson Group like this with her around!”


    “It’s okay! Calm down, everyone.”


    Seeing that everyone was getting more and more restless, Natalie spoke up loudly. “We need to focus


    on the matter at hand. I’m sure Mr. Larson will do us justice!”


    After speaking, Natalie sent someone to call the security guards while she called Brandon.

    Charis’s office floor was still wet. Curled up like a ball on the couch, Charis covered her face and wept


    bitterly. She was wearing a mask and a scarf, so no one could tell if she was really crying or not. They


    could only hear muffled soundsing from her, which was a bit scary. As he surveyed the scene in


    front of him, Brandon’s expression darkened.


    “Exin to me, Charis.”


    Charis stopped crying immediately. “It was Natalie. She kept insulting me! That’s why I lost my mind


    and poured hot water on her!” Panic gripped Charis, and she couldn’t think straight. She had never


    been so reckless in her life, and what she had just done scared even herself. At that moment, she only


    felt pure rage and raw emotion. She wanted to disfigure Natalie’s face so that she, too, would know


    what it would be like to be an ugly monster. The consequences of doing so never urred to her.


    Brandon looked at Natalie, who was standing in the doorway to Charis’s office, and said nothing.


    Natalie looked at him with an innocent look and asked, “Do you think I would do something like that?”


    “You know what you did! You provoked me on purpose to make a fool of myself!” Charis yelled, pointing


    a trembling finger at Natalie.


    As things hade to this, she felt desperate. However, Natalie said nothing. The angrier Charis


    became, the calmer her opponent became.


    “Why would Natalie want to do that? You have no enmity with her,” Brandon pointed to the water stains


    on the carpet and coldly added, “Unless you can give me a reasonable exnation for this.”


    Charis was speechless. Brandon had lost two years of his memory, which meant that he had


    completely forgotten about the feud between her and Natalie.


    “Because you say nothing?” Brandon frowned sadly. Charis met his eyes and clearly saw his


    disappointment unmasked.


    “You already know the answer, don’t you?” A single tear rolled out of the corner of her eye and onto the


    mask. Brandon didn’t know why she kept crying so sadly. She rarely cried before. How is it that he


    chose to believe in Natalie instead of Charis, his friend and trusted confidante?


    Because he had gotten to know Natalie over thest few weeks. After spending time with her, he


    understood what kind of woman Natalie was. She was kind, caring, and considerate. She wouldn’t hurt


    anyone for no reason.


    Charis, on the other hand, had been extremely sensitive and irritable recently. She was always


    paranoid, feeling that someone was talking behind her back andughing at her. It was not the first time


    she had lost her temper with someone in thepany.


    Many employees had approached him recently,ining about her horrendous behavior. And every


    time an employee filed aint, Brandon didn’t do anything about it because he felt sorry for


    Charis.


    This time, however, she crossed the line. He had to do something now. The Brandon of two years ago


    would have dealt with things in an even cooler manner.


    He looked at Charis, his eyes devoid of warmth, and said, “You’ve gone too far this time. Even if


    Natalie hadughed at you, you shouldn’t have tried to hurt her like that. Do you know how badly she


    would have been hurt if the hot water had sshed on her?”


    Charis snorted indignantly. Once again, he chose Natalie’s side. “Your state of mind is incredibly fragile


    right now. If you continue to work here, I would be putting my other employees at risk. You should seek


    therapy first and go back to work after receiving treatment.” Brandon’s words were cruel. “Otherwise, I’ll


    have to resort to firing you.”


    Charis felt as if her soul had been sucked from her body. Her feet seemed to have been nailed to the


    ground, rendering her unable to move. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Brandon, too


    hurt to say a word.


    He had kicked her out of the Larson Group for Natalie once before, but she never expected to get


    kicked out again. And this time, he did it in front of so many people. Charis felt like she was going


    crazy. Her eyes swept the crowd, and all the employees were looking at her with disgust.


    Finally, her gazended on Brandon. His face was cold, and he looked at her indifferently, as if he were


    looking at aplete stranger.


    Suddenly, Charis threw her head back and burst into hystericalughter. Everyone present was startled


    by her sudden hysteria and subconsciously backed away.


    Then, as abruptly as she started tough, she stopped. Her eyes swept the crowd, her expression


    unusually calm and disconcerting.


    “Well, get back to work, everyone,” Brandon said lightly.


    “I’m going to see a psychologist.” She then picked up her bag and quietly left.


    Brandon frowned. He watched Charis go, deep in thought. There was something wrong with her, but he


    couldn’t say what. However, he was grateful that she had finally agreed to seek professional help. The


    two had been friends for many years, after all. He didn’t enjoy seeing her like this.


    Natalie also fixed her eyes on Charis as she left, wondering what she was doing. Still, she was relieved


    that she had finally driven this dangerous woman away.


    Without Charis, The Larson Group had be much calmer. The gossiping employees talked about


    her from time to time, as a funny joke.


    For the next few weeks, Natalie didn’t hear any news about Charis. Time passed quickly. Her name


    was not mentioned again. Autumn had long sincee to an end.
