Chapter 543 New Pawn
"They confessed. It''s all in this video. How do you want to do this?" Ethan slid the sh drive in front
of J.
"I couldn''t care less about Jeff, but I know that my parents still care about L. I want to talk to them
first." J was hesitant. She didn''t think it was a good idea to put L behind bars without
consulting her parents first.
Upon hearing this, Ethan''s expression darkened. He reached for J''s hand and said softly but
firmly, "I respect that, but you shouldn''t be asking your parents for their opinion. You should just be
informing them about what L has done. I''m not going to let her go this time, honey."
Unlike J, Ethan wasn''t as indecisive.
He sent the video directly to the Whites.
When Johanna watched the video, she was furious. "I raised her for twenty years, but this is what I
get in return? A criminal? How dare she do something like this?!"
Even Beal gave up on his former daughterpletely. What she had done this time was simply too
despicable for words.
He rubbed his temples and sighed, "Do whatever you want with her. She has to be punished. She is
no longer a member of the White family. Whatever she has done has nothing to do with us."
After Jeff and L were brought to court, they were sentenced to jail.
The Gillian family was poor, so they couldn''t hire a goodwyer for L and Jeff. And even if they
did have the money, they had offended Brandon Larson. Nowyer in Barnes would be willing to
take their case.
As if that wasn''t bad enough, the Gillian family''s small grocery store was in shambles. A group of
thugs kept showing up at the store and made a scene, which forced them to shut down the
business.
Glenn and Eva couldn''t get Jeff out of prison and had no means of livelihood in Barnes. Therefore,
in despair and defeat, they left Barnes and returned to their vige.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Charis had been living in Barnes this whole time. Even her parents
thought that she was traveling abroad.
She hadn''t made any movestely. After all, Ethan had almost found her out after the parachute
incident. Luckily, she reacted quickly to get rid of L''s coach in time. Although the woman didn''t die
in the end, she could never talk again as a vegetable.

Now, she knew she had to lie low. But lying low didn''t mean she couldn''t keep a close eye on
Ethan''s and J''s movements.
What had unfolded recently was really interesting.
It never urred to Charis that L would be expelled from the White family so soon. She had been
the Whites'' daughter for over twenty years after all.
What surprised her more was that very soon after L joined the Gillian family, she conspired
against J with her brother.
And now, Ethan had put the two siblings behind bars for good. Charis had no pawns left.
She had never thought that L would be this stupid. If she had continued to work with her, she
might''ve gotten her own ass in trouble, too.
Jeff, on the other hand, had piqued Charis''s interest. He looked like a reckless fool who would do
anything for money.
Charis felt that she had found a new pawn. At first, she had had no hope for the Gillians, but now it
seemed it was necessary for her to drop by Barnes'' Prison.
