Sebastian‘s eyes flashed dangerously. He tightened his grip around Charis‘s neck, which cut off Charis‘s access to oxygen completely. Just when she thought she was going to die, Sebastian suddenly threw her to the ground and let her go.

“Ahem!” Writhing on the ground, Charis covered her neck with her hands and coughed violently. Regardless of her image, Catherine squatted on the ground and patted her daughter on the back anxiously. She glared at Sebastian and roared, “Who do you think you are? Why‘d you do that to Charis?” Sebastian removed the cuff links on his suit, rolled up his sleeves, and looked down at the two Turner women with a sneer.

“Your daughter has tried to kill my wife on more than one occasion. I thought I went too easy on her just now.” Catherine glanced at Luke in shock.

“What are you talking about? How could my daughter do such a thing?” Catherine had her own career and didn‘t bother too much about her daughter‘s. She never had to worry about the capable Charis. All she knew was that Charis had left the Larson Group a while ago. She had thought that this was a good thing, because now Charis could take over the family business.

Both Catherine and Luke knew that Charis liked Brandon, but they didn‘t know what she had done in order to get him.

“Brandon, I‘m warning you. Although Charis worked under you before, she doesn‘t have to listen to you anymore. I can understand that there might be some problems between you two, but that doesn‘t mean you can hurt my daughter!” Sebastian sneered. He gathered the evidence on the table and looked down at the coughing Charis, “Since you‘re the daughter of the Turner family, I can‘t hurt you in your own house. However, if you dare try to hurt my wife again, I will not let you go.”

Charis‘s face was full of resentment. She gritted her teeth and glared at Sebastian defiantly.

“I didn‘t do anything wrong. You can‘t blame me for being a bit hot–headed!”

“Are you sure?” Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked in a bone–chillingly cold voice. Looking into his eyes, Charis paused for a few seconds and suddenly burst into tears.

“We‘ve worked together for years, Sebastian! Why don’t you have feelings for me? You fell in love with someone who came after me! Do you really think I‘m not as good as her?”

“Natalie would never do the things you have done,” Sebastian said, his voice void of emotion.

His indifference made Charis cry even harder.She had never cried like this in her entire life.

Since the moment she started working with Sebastian, she had never dared to show too much affection for him.She thought a man as mature and put together as Sebastian would probably like a woman who was also as decisive and restrained.

“I wouldn‘t have done those things if Natalie never showed up.You left me no choice! Sebastian, do you really think you‘re faultless?
