Money? That was the first thing she thought of? “After the interrogation, I’ll make her to return the
money.”
Allie stared at the man who was speaking in fear. She didn’t expect to be found out. She had nned
to leave Barnes that very day, but just as she was about to board the ne, she was suddenly
surrounded by a group of men in ck.
They took her passport and luggage and brought her straight here. She had heard about Brandon
before.
Although she didn’t know much about him personally, she had worked for Charis for a long time.
Charis was a cunning woman herself, but she once told Allie that she was nothingpared to
Brandon when it came to ying tricks like this.
Recalling this, she felt even more scared.
Her whole body shook like a leaf.
Now that she had fallen into Brandon’t hands, she didn’t know if she’d even get out of this alive.
Then, the man himself turned to look at her coldly, sending shivers down her spine.
“Tell me what you’ve done.”
The weather inte winter was freezing.
Even the river had frozen over.
Brandon’s men had poured cold water over Allie, making her body shiver and her teeth chatter.
“EL…I know nothing…W-why’d you take me here, Mr.Larson? I just sold Mrs. Larson the data on
Charis’sputer, and that’s all!”
Allie stuttered anxiously, her eyes wrought with guilt.
Still, she hoped that Brandon would buy it and let her go.
Brandon sneered.
“If your goal was just the money, then you would’ve ran away a long time ago. Yet you stayed. Because
selling Natalie the information on thatptop was just the first step in your n.Am I right?”
Allie’s eyes went as wide as saucers.
The reason why she stayed was to see for herself what would happen to Natalie.
The rest of the n was all up to Vivian. She knew nothing.But she didn’t dare to mention Vivian due to
their agreement.
Even if she was captured, she couldn’t say anything about her.
Because Vivian was the only person who could save her from Brandon.
“You gave me the sh drive and myputer was hacked the night I plugged the drive into it,” Natalie
mused.
But something nagged at her.
Allie was just an assistant.
Was she really capable of nning something so borate? Allie fell silent and didn’t say anything
more.
“Take her out and get her to talk,” Brandon ordered Sean impatiently.
If Natalie wasn’t present, he would’ve asked his men to get the jab done right in front of him.
Allie was so scared out of her wits that she couldn’t help but scream, “I’ll tell you everything! I’ll tell you
right now.Just don’t take me out!”
No one knew what would happen to her if she was taken out of the room, Allie included. She only knew
that her only priority was to stay alive. She gritted her teeth, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Her voice was full of despair.
“I did it, okay? I hacked into Mrs. Larson’sputer and pretended to be Charis’s ghost to scare her! I
wanted to steal the data from herputer as well, but I failed.”
“I’ve never even met you before. Even if Charis and I were at odds, I’ve never hurt you.”
Natalie found it strange.
Even if Allie was loyal to Charis, she had no power.
Why would she dare to go against the Larson Group? No matter how hard she racked her brains,
Natalie just couldn’t figure it out. Allie red at her with resentment. Her lips had turned purple from the
cold.
“I have hated you for a long time.”
Amused by her words, Natalie looked at her and smiled.
“Okay. Tell me.Why do you hate me? I want to know.”
Yes, how exactly did she offend Allie to make her go to such lengths to hurt her?
“Charis was a good boss, but you killed her! And after she died, I was fired from the Larson Group.I
scoured the city for a decent job, but it was futile. Not a singlepany was willing to ept me after
finding out that I had worked for Charis. I ended up working in a small cafe just to support myself. I
didn’t do anything wrong. Why did I have to bear the consequences of her death? I have my parents to
support, but I lost my well-paying job in the Larson Group. You ruined my life! Natalie, it’s all your fault
that nopany wants me. You and Brandon were trying to ruin everyone Charis knew!”
After hearing Allie’s exnation, Natalie felt bored and couldn’t help but yawn idly.
“Brandon and I don’t have that much time to spare.But now that things havee to this, I might as
welle out and tell you.In my investigation, I found out that in order to conceal the fact that Charis
died disgracefully, her parents deliberately made sure that everyone who had worked for their daughter
was cklisted in this city. That way, n0vel0z they wouldn’t leak the Charis’s dirty little secret to other
companies.At the very least, they were able to protect Charis’s reputation by doing so.”
Truth be told, she felt sorry for Allie.
Charis died in such a humiliating way. it was inevitable for the Larson Group to fire the employees who
had worked for her in order to keep their mouths shut.
However, it was neither her nor Brandon who made sure she couldn’t get a decent job after that, but
the Turners.
When Allie heard what Natalie said, her jaw dropped to the floor She feltpletely lost.
When Natalie was done speaking, it was Brandon’s turn to question Allie.
“Who ordered you to do all this?”
After hesitating for a split-second, Allie averted her gaze and murmured, “No one.It was all me.Nobody
ordered me to do anything.I didn’t mean to hurt Natalie, okay? I just don’t like her. Charis once told me
that she was scared of ghosts, so I came up with the idea of pretending to be a ghost.I wanted to scare
her.”
Brandon narrowed his eyes at her in suspicion. He highly doubted an ordinary girl like Allie would have
the time and resources to aplish all these things.
Besides, judging from what she had said just now, Allie was in dire need of money.
However, Brandon had also investigated the other people who had interacted with Charis when she
was still alive.It was just as Natalie had said.
Everyone around Charis had all been forced to leave Barnes and Seacisco because of the Turners.
Allie was the only one who stayed. It was also because she was the only one left that Brandon was
able to find out that she was part of this.
But there were too many details that didn’t add up, which made Brandon suspect that there was
someone else behind the curtain.
But he decided not to mention it to Natalie for now.
Judging from the rxed look on Natalie’s face, he guessed that she thought that everything had been
settled now that they had pinned it all on Allie.
Brandon turned to Sean and said, “Turn Allie in to the police for theft and fraud.
And then go to the Turners and tell them about what we found.”
Hearing this, Allie breathed a sigh of relief.
Being sent to prison for theft and fraud wasn’t as bad as being killed here.
The police arrived soon.
Allie was handed over to them swiftly.
Natalie watched the police car leave until it turned the corner. She stretched her arms high and sighed
in relief.
“It’s finally over.”
Brandon nodded and patted her on the shoulder gently.
“Let’s go home.”
Brandon took her hand and the two left the vi.
Hand in hand, they walked under the trees.
Dappled sunshine shone through the leaves.
The cool breeze made them feel veryfortable.

Natalie walked next to Brandon with her head lowered.
After a long tim she finally asked, “So when can I get my money back?”
“Money? You’ve always been stingy, haven’t you?”
Brandon was amused.
Then, feigning a serious expression, he said gravely, “You won’t get it back, so you’d better just forget
about it.”
Natalie looked into his grim eyes and knew that he meant it. She sighed helple
While walking, she grumbled, “I can’t believe this happened.
I just wanted to help you regain your memory, okay? Although I honestly don’t think you need it, I still
feel bad when I see you try so hard to get your memory back.”
