Vivian recalled a conversation she had with Charis.
Charis had told her that Janet had gone to such lengths to make Brandon fall in love with her. Naturally, she wouldn't let go of any chance to help him regain his memory.
Vivian figured that in order to help Brandon regain his memory, Janet would definitely keep coming back. Vivian also knew that if she could be one step ahead of Janet, she could avenge Charis and get rid of Janet once and for all.
She just needed to figure out who Janet might go to next and where to find them...
Although Charis had been somewhat of a social butterfly when she was alive, she didn't have many true friends. Most people knew her on the surface level only. Very few knew her deeply.
After returning home, Vivian had thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that Charis had mentioned a person to her before...
******
When Vivian saw Allie Olson, she was working a minimum wage job in a coffee shop far away from downtown.
Vivian ordered a latte and then sat at a table near the window, waiting for Allie to serve the coffee.
"Excuse me, are you Allie Olson? Miss Turner often mentioned you to me before." Resting her cheek on her hand, Vivian smiled sweetly. She looked very approachable.
At the mention of Charis's surname, Allie's face suddenly became unnatural. Without saying a word, she set the cup of coffee down and was about to turn around and leave.
In fact, Allie had worked as Charis's assistant for three years. She had come to work for Charis right after graduating from a prestigious university. She had always been one of Charis's right-hand subordinates.
Charis's death turned her life upside down. Not only did she suddenly lose her job, she was also questioned about Charis wherever she went. It was impossible for her to find another job.
She used to be the top student in a top university, but now she had to work minimum wage as a waitress. Even in a place as obscure as this one, she ran into someone who came to ask about Charis.
"Don't leave. Why don't you sit down?" Seeing that Allie was about to leave, Vivian immediately stood up and stopped her.
