The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire Chapter 548: Bare Her Heart

After baiting Jeff to the shopping mall, Charis asked her men to wait in the area. If things went well, Jeff
should be able to succeed. But things didn‘t go as planned.

Less than an hour had passed when her subordinate called her to report that Jeff had been caught and
taken away by Ethan and his men.

Upon hearing this, Charis‘s heart leaped to her throat. She didn‘t say anything and hung up directly.
Without a second to lose, she immediately went back to her apartment in Barnes and began to pack up
her things. She had a bad feeling about this and couldn‘t help but tremble in fear as she packed. Why
was Ethan in the mall with his men? When she was done packing, she immediately called her father.

“Dad, I‘m heading home. Has anything happened recently?” Charis hadn‘t called Luke in a long time.
Luke was happy to hear from his daughter and said in a cheerful tone, “Nothing much has happened
while you were gone. You coming home already?”

“Yeah, I‘ll be back by today. Bye, Dad,” Charis said with a smile, sighing with relief.

In the Turner family home in Seacisco, as soon as Charis stepped foot inside the house, she found that
the atmosphere was depressing. As usual, she tried joking with the servants.

“What‘s going on today? You all look weird!”

The servants smiled awkwardly at her and then busied themselves with their work. Shrugging it off,
Charis turned towards the living room and instantly froze. She saw Ethan sitting on the sofa opposite to
Luke, who had a long, gloomy face. All the color drained from Charis‘s face. She turned around and was
about to make a break for it, but was stopped by Ethan‘s men.

“Miss Turner, please have a seat.” She didn‘t expect that Ethan would go to her father. Biting her lower
lip, she sat down next to Luke. Luke didn‘t look so good. Ethan had told him everything. Ethan laid the
evidence neatly on the table. His tone was calm, but his words packed a punch.



“Miss Turner, you‘re much capable than I have known you to be.” With balled up fists, Charis didn‘t dare
to look in Ethan‘s eyes. She wanted to defend herself, but she stopped on second thought. She knew
that she couldn‘t fool Ethan and making excuses for herself would do her no good.

“I... I don‘t know what you are talking about,” Charis said as calmly as she could manage, lowering her
head.

As she spoke, a single teardrop of desperation rolled down her cheek. She now knew that she would
never have a chance to be with Ethan. Although she had expected that this might happen, she couldn‘t
face it calmly. Ethan had no feelings for her, and she knew this all along.

But she couldn‘t bear for him to know about her vicious side. Perhaps now, after knowing about
everything she had done, Ethan could only see her as a vicious woman. Ethan‘s sharp eyes seemed to
pierce into her very soul.

“Were you involved in all the incidents that put Janet‘s life in danger?” Charis subconsciously shrank, as
though all the strength had left her body. She smiled bitterly and said in a shaky voice, “Janet... Janet
doesn‘t deserve you!”

She decided she had nothing to lose and bared her heart in front of Ethan. She still believed that she had
planned and handled everything perfectly. Ethan should‘ve never found out it was her! Ethan didn‘t say
anything at first. He simply stood up and strode towards her ominously.

All of a sudden, his hands shot out and grabbed Charis by the neck. His eyes were filled with an anger
that Charis had never seen before. “Say that again, I dare you!”
