Chapter 551


    After confronting the Turners, Ethan returned to Barnes.


    He reported to the police that Charis had pulled some strings to get Jeff out of jail, and had even sent


    them all the evidence to prove it.


    But since there was no evidence tying Charis to all her other crimes, there was nothing Ethan could do.


    Because Charis had paid for Jeff’s bail, the matter wasn’t too serious. It didn’t take much effort for the


    Turner family to get Charis out of this mess.

    When everything was settled, Luke spoke to Charis seriously. “Don’t go near Barnes again and just


    stay at home.”


    He didn’t want thepany’s interests to be affected because of his daughter’s selfish acts. Although


    he loved his daughter very much, he knew what was more important.


    Charis’s bare, haggard face was pale and tired. She leaned back against the sofa and waved her hand


    dismissively. “I know. Now that Ethan has figured it all out, I can’t do anything anymore.”


    Ethan could make trouble for the Turner family with a snap of his fingers. Charis knew that she had to


    be careful.


    Luke nodded. “It’s good that you’vee to your senses. You’re a Turner; you shouldn’t degrade


    yourself for a man.”


    Charis forced a smile but didn’t say anything.


    There was another, more important reason why she couldn’t act rashly. Now that Ethan had found out


    about her vicious side, if she was caught again, he would definitely destroy not just the Turner family,


    but her as well.


    Seeing her so depressed, Luke stopped scolding her. He thought for a while and said, “Why note


    to work for me? It’s easy for people to overthink things when they’re idly. If you busy yourself with work,


    you might find a sense of fulfillment. Soon, you’ll forget all about this fiasco.”


    “Okay. I’ll start work tomorrow.” After all, Charis also didn’t like the feeling of being cooped up at home.


    She was too weak now. She needed to get stronger first in order to get what she wanted in life.


    As for Ethan, she believed that they would meet at the peak again one day.

    When Ethan came back, J could tell that he had finished dealing with Charis. She could also tell


    that he was angry. Although he didn’t show it on his face, she believed that Ethan must’ve gotten into a


    fight with Charis.


    These days, the Larson Group had focused on slowly nting its roots in Barnes. It didn’t take long


    before the legendary corporation settled in this city.


    Since Ethan and Garrett had now moved to Barnes, their secret security force Pole Shadow also


    followed them there. As a member of it, of course Laney also had to move.


    “I didn’t want to move here, but Garrett promised he’d give me a raise if I did. He’s not lying to me, is


    he?” Laney felt that it was a hassle to uproot her life in Seacisco.


    “Ethan didn’t mention anything about that.” But J was extremely happy that Laney hade to


    Barnes. “It’s so good that you’re here now. It almost feels like I’m back in Seacisco where we had so


    much great time together!”


    Her smile was full of joy. Reuniting with a good friend after a long time felt so good. They had a lot to


    catch up on.


    J’s joy was infectious. Laney’s dissatisfaction was instantly dispelled and she excitedly told J


    all about what she had been through in Seacisco after the other woman moved away.


    It wasn’t until the sun set that Ethan joined them. “Garrett has made us a reservation at this restaurant.


    You girls can continue to talk over dinner.”
