Chapter 549: Not As Good As Her

“Uh! Ah! Ethan—! Let go of me!” Charis tried to scream but it got stuck in her throat. Her face turned
purple from the lack of oxygen. She struggled and kicked, crying

“Dad! Help me! Dad?!”

Ethan was by no means a weak man. He could‘ve snapped Charis‘s neck without breaking a sweat.

Frightened out of his wits, Luke stood up immediately to protect his daughter.

“Mr. Larson, calm down! Let‘s talk about this!” He tried his best to pull Ethan‘s arm away but in vain.
Catherine happened to come downstairs at this time. When she saw this scene, she was so frightened
that she screamed. Her usual elegant and easy–going manner vanished instantly.

She rushed to help her daughter and shouted, “Brandon, do you know what you‘re doing?! You are not
allowed to hurt my daughter in her own home!”

Ethan‘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, Ethan 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 Ethan and roared, “Who do you think you are? Why‘d you do that to Charis?”
Ethan 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!” Ethan 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 Ethan defiantly.

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

“Are you sure?” Ethan 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, Ethan! 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?”
