Chapter 286


    Charis’s private investigator couldn’t find a lot of information about Laney whose identity was kept


    confidential.


    However, there was a piece of information that shocked Charis. It was that Laney was one of the top


    bodyguards in the country and she had protected many wealthy personalities in the past. This indicated


    that she had several years of experience under her belt.


    Another shocking detail was that Laney was also the same woman who had saved J from the car


    ident.


    Charis didn’t need anyone to tell her that Brandon was the one that hired her for J’s utmost


    protection.


    ‘Aargh! Brandon even got Laney into the Larson Group so that she could watch and protect J


    closely. Since he is going all out to protect that bitch, it means she’s very dear to his heart. This is so


    annoying!’ Charis became angrier and more jealous as she put two and two together.


    “Why does he like her so much? Humph!” She snorted.


    She was so heartbroken that the urge to make J disappear became stronger than ever before.


    ‘Gosh! He has only known J for a few months, but she’s already a very important person to him. Is


    he blind? What does he see in her? I really can’t understand why he’s head over heels in love with that


    in Jane.’


    The more Charis thought about Brandon’s strong love for J, the more worried she became. She


    feared that he might even decide to announced to the public one day that J was Brandon Larson’s


    wife. Not Ethan, Brandon. Hence, she decided to get rid of her before it was toote.


    As much as she wanted to finish J off immediately, she couldn’t do it herself.


    Kent had failed her previously. She even colluded with Fiona, but thetter also failed. Her previous


    attempts were a little easier. But now that Laney was protecting J, it would be more difficult to get


    to her.


    Charis was dead sure that the future held doom for her if she didn’t eliminate J soon. Time wasn’t


    on her side now.


    She tapped her foot on the floor and racked her brain. After a while, she abruptly stood up from the


    chair with a sinister smile on her face.


    “Oh, you were so stupid, Charis! How could you have forgotten the Lester family? Those people are the


    ones that can help you now. You must contact them,” she murmured to herself.


    After falling in love with Ethan in high school, Charis paid utmost attention to the Lester family. She


    knew that everyone in that family wasn’t to be messed with. More so, she was aware that Elissa, the


    real Mrs. Lester, and his two half-brothers hated him so much and they would be more than willing to


    grab any chance to hurt him.


    The Lester Group and the Larson Group were currently rivals in the business industry.


    Now that J worked for the Larson Group, she saw it as a great opportunity to make the Lesters


    hate her. She nned to y her cards right, so this wouldn’t cause any problems for thepany.


    Ritchie seemed to be the best potential ally out of all of them. Hence, she decided to use him.


    It had been ages since Charisst saw Ritchie. However, she remembered that in high school, he


    looked nothing like Ethan even though they had the same father. Ethan was way more handsome than


    him.


    Ritchie had been two grades higher than Charis and Ethan when they got into high school. He didn’t


    graduate from high school with honors, so he wasn’t granted admission to any top university. But his


    family bribed the school admission officer at one of the universities and eventually got him in.

    Right from childhood, Ritchie had been a school bully and hemitted a lot of offenses. However, his


    family always helped him clean up his mess without bringing him to order. He had slightly grown out of


    his troublesome behavior, but it was a known fact that he hadn’t changed much. And this was the first


    reason why Charis thought he was the best person to collude with.


    The Lesters weren’t people who trusted outsiders easily. She would have to employ a good trick to get


    any of them on her side. But she was so blinded by her wicked ambition to get rid of J that she


    didn’t care anything else.


    ‘Ritchie will crush that bitch like a fly,’ Charis thought confidently. Another reason why Ritchie was the


    perfect candidate was that he wasn’t as emphatic and careful as Kent. People like J were nothing


    in his eyes.
