Brandon didn't understand.
How much did Charis hate Janet? And why did she hate her? Charis loathed Janet so much that she was willing to kill herself in the process of getting rid of the latter.
Frowning deeply, he tried to think about how the two had treated each other. To his memory, they rarely even talked to each other. Whatever happened to make Charis hate Janet so much?
Why was this happening?
Could he have just forgotten something important due to his memory loss?
"You didn't have a grudge against each other before. Why do you want to kill Janet all of a sudden?" he asked carefully.
With a sneer, Charis looked at Janet ferociously. "We've always hated each other, Brandon, but you've forgotten all about it. Well then, let me refresh your memory."
Charis then told him everything.
Previously, Brandon had grown obsessed with Janet, which made Charis extremely jealous. After all, she had met him first and she deserved him, not Janet. Later, she tried everything to separate the two, but kept failing.
In the end, she set the fire in the haunted house to kill Janet, but her plans backfired and she ended up disfiguring her own self.
The more he heard, the bigger Brandon's shock.
He racked his brains trying to recall the things Charis had said, but a throbbing pain in his head kept interrupting him.
Pressing his hands against his throbbing temples, he looked at Janet and asked helplessly, "Is she telling the truth? Why didn't you tell me all of this sooner?"
