"You know what you did! You provoked me on purpose so that I'd make a fool out of myself!" Charis shouted, pointing a trembling finger at Janet.
Since things had come to this, she felt desperate.
However, Janet didn't say anything. The angrier Charis was, the calmer her opponent became.
"Why would Janet want to do that? You have no enmity with her." Brandon pointed at the water stains on the carpet and added coldly, "Unless you can give me a reasonable explanation for this."
Charis was rendered speechless. Brandon had lost two years of his memory, which meant that he had completely forgotten about the feud between her and Janet.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Brandon frowned unhappily.
Charis looked into his eyes and saw clearly his unmasked disappointment.
"You already know the answer, don't you?" A single teardrop rolled out of the corner of her eye and into her mask.
Brandon didn't know why she kept crying so sadly. She seldom cried before.
How come he chose to believe in Janet instead of Charis, his friend and trusted confidante?
Because he had gotten to know Janet over the past weeks. After spending time with her, he understood what kind of woman Janet was. She was kind, caring, and considerate. She wouldn't hurt anyone for no reason.
Charis, on the other hand, had been extremely sensitive and irritable recently. She was always paranoid, feeling that someone was talking behind her back and laughing at her. It wasn't the first time she had lost her temper with someone at the company.
