Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 550

"Janet would never do the things you have done," Ethan 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 Ethan, she had never dared to show too much affection for him. She thought a man as mature and put-together as Ethan would probably like a woman who was also as decisive and restrained.

"I wouldn't have done those things if Janet never showed up. You left me no choice! Ethan, do you really think you're faultless? I've loved you all these years yet you turned a blind eye to it! You could've just told me that you had no feelings for me, but you always kept me guessing..."

Her voice broke as she spoke. Charis murmured softly, "How could I get you back if I just sat there and did nothing?"

"I thought not showing you any affection in return was clear enough of a message." Ethan frowned. "I used to admire you as a capable business partner, but now I have nothing but disgust for you."

After saying that, Ethan turned around to leave. He didn't want to have anything to do with this despicable woman anymore.

When he passed by Luke and Catherine, he shot them a cold glance and warned, "Keep your daughter in line, or else she might end up in a miserable position."

Then he left.

Catherine had understood what was going on. Heaving a long sigh, she helped up the crying Charis and shook her head. "You've always been a smart girl, Charis. How could your judgment get so muddy this time? And why are you so hung up on that man? There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
