The Mysterious Wife

Chapter 355 The Scapegoat

On her way back to the office, Charis worried nonstop. She couldn't give Ethan a bad impression; she just couldn't in a panic, she called the private detective she had hired. “Get me information on all of Janet's enemies by the end

of today. Got it?”

“Miss Turner, how detailed are we talking about?”

“I want to know every single enemy Janet has made ever since she was a child!”

Without waiting for a response, Charis hung up the phone angrily.

She didn't expect that Ethan would pursue this matter so thoroughly. Given the connections the Larson Group had, it'd only be a matter of time before he found out that she was the one behind all this.

of course, Charis didn't want Ethan to know about the horrible things she had done. *

She wanted to stay perfect in his heart. 9

Fortunately for her, the private detective she had hired was really good. He got Charis the information she wanted within the day.

There was a woman in particular who stood out to Charis. Her name was Elaine Sellers.

Charis had seen this name in the personnel files before. Elaine was fired because of Janet. Later, she was even sent to jail because of Janet again. She must've hated Janet to the core.

Upon reading through the file the private detective had sent her, Charis sneered and went to see Elaine.

Elaine had graduated from a famous university in Seacisco, but now, she worked as a receptionist in a motel.

Elaine looked up in surprise when she saw Charis in high heels and sunglasses here. “Miss Turner, what brings you here?”

When Elaine was working in the Larson Group, she had seen photos of Charis and thought that she was a really intelligent and beautiful woman. But before she ever got to meet Charis in person, she was fired because of Janet.

Charis delicately removed her sunglasses and glanced around the shabby motel in disdain. “Miss Sellers, allow me to

be straightforward with you. I'm here to ask a favor of you. Should you agree to help me, you will be rewarded

generously.”

Because Elaine now had a criminal record, she could no longer find a decent job. Her current job was just enough to keep her fed.

"What do you mean?” Elaine clenched her fists secretly. She had to admit that Charis gave out an intimidating aura.

Charis leaned closer to whisper in her ear, “I want a scapegoat.”

Elaine shook her head immediately. “No, I've already been in jail once. I can't go there a second time.” §

Her days in prison were so horrible that she shuddered at the thought of it.

If she became Charis's scapegoat, she would inevitably be sent to jail again.

"Hear me out first before you make your decision,” Charis said calmly. “The charge won't be serious. Even if you are put in jail, it'll only be for a few years. You've already been there once, it's no big deal if you go back. But the money I'll give you in exchange for this will be more than enough for you to live the rest of your life in luxury. What will you choose? To live like this forever? Or to spend a few years in jail in return for a lifetime of luxury?” .
