The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1062 Charis Order
It was raining nonstop in Barnes in the past few days.
While Vivian was driving to the Larson Groupâs building, the drizzle outside gradually turned into
torrential rain. Suddenly, a familiar figure of a woman appeared on the road.
Like always, she was elegantly dressed and was holding an umbrella to shield herself from the rain.
Vivian watched as the woman joined the crowd not far away.
When she saw the womanâs face, her eyes widened in shock. âMiss Turner?â she mumbled to herself.
But the next second, Chartsâ figure disappeared into the crowd.
Without thinking, Vivian rushed out of the car and followed Charts. âMiss Turner, wait! Did you poison
Mr. Larson? Tell me!â
Theories flooded Vivianâs mind one after another. She wanted to find out the truth right then and there,
but Charts seemed to have vanished in thin air.
All of a sudden, Vivian felt a cold hand slap her back. She instinctively looked back and saw Charts
standing behind her.
In a blink of an eye, Charis appeared in front of Vivian, reached out her hands, and tried to strangle
Vivian. âWhy didnât you take revenge for me? Why?! You even betrayed me.â
Charisâ delicate face looked so ferocious right now. It was unlike the gentle and elegant woman Vivian
remembered. She was terrifying.
Meanwhile, Vivian could not breathe. Just as she felt she was going to pass out, she jolted awake.
It was a dream!
Vivian touched her neck and took deep breaths. Her nightmare felt so real that her body broke into a
cold sweat.
At this moment, she looked outside the window and saw it was still dark. In a daze, she went to the
bathroom and splashed her face with ice cold water. Before dawn, Vivian drove into a villa in the
suburbs. It was one of the Turner familyâs properties as well. âIs he still fighting back?â Vivian asked
one of her subordinates. She couldnât fall asleep after having that nightmare, so she decided to come
here.
âIâve tied him up, but he wouldnât shut up.â
Vivian dismissed her subordinates and opened the iron door to the basement. As she did so, a stink
wafted into her senses.
Upon hearing the door open, the blindfolded man shouted, âWhy did you kidnap me? Mr. Larson, I
didnât do anything! I swear to God Iâm innocent!â
With a sneer tugging at the corners of Vivianâs mouth, she dragged a chair for her to sit in front of the
man. âIf you didnât do anything, why did you leave your hometown and feign your death, leaving your
70-year-old mother alone? The salary of a rescue team isnât low as far as I know.â
A long time ago, when Janet was in danger, Brandon personally participated in the search. But for
some unknown reason, he fainted on the rescue ship.
After the investigation, Vivian realized that Arion Quinn, the man who had offered Brandon the drink
before he fainted and lost his memory, was suspicious.
What made it more baffling was that after the incident, Arion âdiedâ in an accident. Just when Vivian
thought she had reached a dead end, Arion reappeared in Barnes about a year later.
At this moment, Vivian yanked Arionâs blindfold off.
When he saw that the person in front of him was not Brandon nor one of his subordinates, a perplexed
look flashed across Arionâs face. âWait a minute. Youâre not Brandonâs subordinate!â he exclaimed.
The truth was, it was Charis who had asked Arion to fake his death and flee the country. Of course, he
obediently did as told. After all, this country was Brandonâs territory. As long as Arion was here,
Brandon would catch him in whichever city he fled to.
Arion lived a happy and prosperous life abroad with Chariâ help. However, his mother died
unexpectedly, so he had no choice but to go back to the country and arrange her funeral. Because of
this, he was caught as soon as he got off the plane.
He was in a state of panic after he was caught. He had a feeling that Brandon was behind all of this. To
his surprise, Brandon was not here but a strange woman.
âWho are you?â he asked with confusion written all over his face.
âIt doesnât matter who I am.â Vivian grabbed Arionâs collar and queried, âWhat did Charis ask you to do
back then? Did you lace Brandonâs drink because you have something against him?â
Arion was shocked to hear such an accusation, but he immediately denied it. âWhat the hell are you
talking about? Iâm just a rescuer. How could you accuse me of doing such a thing?!â
âI know you donât want to admit what youâve done because Iâm not Brandon. But I can still use his
means to make you talk. Letâs see how long you can hold out,â Vivian sneered.
Without waiting for Arionâs response, she turned around and slammed the door shut. She then ordered
the guards not to give him any food or water until he confessed.
Arion held on for two days before giving up.
âFine. Iâll tell you everything. Since Charis is dead, nobody will come to make trouble for me even if I tell
you everything.â He took a deep breath and began recalling the story. âThat day, Charis gave me a
small vial and asked me to pour its contents into Brandonâs drink. Before you ask, I did it for money. I
thought she just wanted a night with him or something, and it was, you know, that kind of drug she gave
me. But after quite some time, I heard from my fellow rescuer that Brandon had lost his memory.â
Arion could no longer bear his thirst. He swallowed hard and stared at the bottle of water in Vivianâs
hand longingly. âBeing rich is amazing. Rich people can get whatever they want, even things you donât
know existed.â
Vivian had heard enough. She expressionlessly threw the bottle to the ground, and Arion crawled over
to pick it up.
âHow could this be?â she mumbled while taking deep breaths.
How could Charis do such a cruel thing to Brandon? Could it be that Charis Turner, the woman Vivian
had respected most the whole time, was actually scheming and evil?
