Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 593

"You..." Charis stepped back subconsciously. She felt her heart shatter into a thousand pieces and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She felt wronged and helpless. She had done so much for this man, yet he hated her to the core. Ethan frowned, his good mood ruined by Charis. Ignoring Charis, he turned and patted Janet on the back. "There's a really nice seafood restaurant here. Do you want to go there?"

After swallowing the last of her sandwich, Janet nodded obediently. While Ethan took her away, she looked over her shoulder and glanced at Charis.

The latter's eyes were burning with hatred and jealousy. Janet would probably never forget the look in Charis's eye for the rest of her life.

Charis stood there and watched as Ethan and Janet leave. She felt completely and utterly powerless.

She knew that no matter what she did, she wouldn't be able to turn back time with Ethan.

But she refused to give up. Getting Brandon was her dream for the longest time. Although she had reached rock bottom now, she couldn't just stand by and watch Janet being happy.

Just then, a harsh ringtone interrupted Charis's thoughts.

She wiped her tears away and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Miss Turner, something bad happened! It's one of our employees! She suddenly fainted on the beach!" It was another employee of Turner Group calling. Her voice sounded particularly anxious.

Charis quickly calmed down and started giving orders. "Maybe it's a heatstroke. Take her to the seaside medical station first. I'll be right there."

"No, no, it's nothing like that, Miss Turner. I think she encountered some poisonous fish or something!" The employee was so panic-stricken that she couldn't speak coherently.

"Alright. Don't worry. I'll be right there." Charis tried to comfort the employee. Smoothing her hair, she rushed over to the beach.

It was just a little past ten o'clock. The sun was getting higher and the sand was already scorching hot.
