Hearing the voice, Charis turned back and saw Fiona walking into the ward.

She had already learned a lot about Fiona beforeing to the hospital. Now, seeing her in person
made Charis realize the woman wasn''t as gentle as she seemed in the photo. She looked cunning.
Strands of hair around her temples had turned grey and the wrinkles around her eyes seemed more
prominent, revealing her age.
"Hello, Mrs. Lind." Charis withdrew her arms from Jocelyn, stood up, and nodded politely.
"You''re finally here, Miss Turner. That cruel bitch has ruined Jocelyn''s life. Do you see what lengths
she had gone to take her revenge?" Fiona grabbed Charis''s hands andmented.
However, Charis felt disgusted. She had never seen such an unreasonable person in her life. It was
Jocelyn who had started all this. She was the one who had hired men to assault J, but her n
had backfired.
However, Charis hid her disgust and frustration and forced a smile. "Don''t worry. People cannot do
bad deeds and get away with it. They''ll be punished for all their wrongdoings. J, too, will pay the
price for her mistakes. She will face a terrible, miserable end."
Fiona looked at her grimly. For a moment, she thought Charis was mocking her. Sometimes, she
would wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night because the past continued to haunt her
even now.
Fiona studied Charis''s face and realized thetter wasn''t mocking her. She seemed cheerful and
easygoing. Considering her parents had pampered her and spoiled her, Fiona concluded that
Charis was just another sweet innocent girl and there was no hidden meaning behind her words.
She thought she could win Charis over by ying the victim.
Fiona sat down and told Charis about how cruel and ungrateful J had been to the Lind family.
Charis patiently listened to her. She was aware of the things Fiona had done in the past. The
woman seemed smarter than Jocelyn because she had managed to manipte Bernie, an honest
man, to do whatever she wanted. She had done a lot of bad deeds without the Lind family''s
knowledge.
She had resorted to despicable means to put J into trouble. If Ethan hadn''t helped J, Fiona
would have seeded.
Fiona was undoubtedly smarter than Jocelyn and would be able to help Charis. However, there was
one downside: Charis wouldn''t be able to easily deceive her.
"Miss Turner, have you been busy ofte? Every family has its own problems. I''ve heard about the
new predicament in your family. Mrs. Turner and the male star made the headlines again
yesterday." Fiona patted Charis''s hand and sighed concernedly. "By the way, you and Jocelyn seem
very close. What do you think of her?"
Bile rose in Charis''s throat. She could understand what Fiona meant.
She wanted Jocelyn to marry into the Turner family. Fiona and her daughter both had thought
Charis was a fool who only knew to spend money.
"As you know, there will always be rumors about influential families. My family runs several
entertainmentpanies. Reporters tend to blow things out of proportion. My mom only has a
professional rtionship with those stars. Don''t believe those baseless rumors," Charis patiently
exined.
''What a bunch of fools!''
It was stupid of Jocelyn to think she could rece Chairs''s mother. Her confidence both irked and
surprised Charis.
Although Luke had affairs with several women, his marriage had always been stable.
Charis''s mother belonged to one of the wealthiest families in the city, and she owned two top
entertainmentpanies in the country. She was a strong, independent woman capable of
supporting the Turner family all by herself.
Luke and his wife got married for mutual benefits. They led different lives and had partners outside
wedlock. However, they had a good understanding and got along well when they returned home.
Over the years, no matter how many mistresses Luke had, they would never be a threat to his wife
and take over her position, because he wouldn''t let it.
