My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

“They confessed. It‘s all in this video. How do you want to do this?” Ethan slid the flash drive in front of Janet.
“I couldn‘t care less about Jeff, but I know that my parents still care about Lila. I want to talk to them first.” Janet was hesitant.
She didn‘t think it was a good idea to put Lila behind bars without consulting her parents first.
Upon hearing this, Ethan‘s expression darkened. He reached for Janet‘s hand and said softly but firmly, “I respect that, but you
shouldn‘t be asking your parents for their opinion. You should just be informing them about what lila has done. I‘m not going to let
her go this time, honey.”
Unlike Janet, Ethan wasn‘t as indecisive. He sent the video directly to the Whites. When Johanna watched the video, she was
furious.
“I raised her for twenty years, but this is what I get in return? A criminal? How dare she do something like this?!” Even Beal gave
up on his former daughter completely. What she had done this time was simply too despicable for words. He rubbed his temples
and sighed, “Do whatever you want with her. She has to be punished. She is no longer a member of the White family. Whatever
she has done has nothing to do with us.”
After Jeff and Lila were brought to court, they were sentenced to jail. The Gillian family was poor, so they couldn‘t hire a good
lawyer for Lila and Jeff. And even if they did have the money, they had offended Brandon Larson. No lawyer in Barnes would be
willing to take their case.
As if that wasn‘t bad enough, the Gillian family‘s small grocery store was in shambles. A group of thugs kept showing up at the
store and made a scene, which forced them to shut down the business. Glenn and Eva couldn‘t get Jeff out of prison and had no
means of livelihood in Barnes.
*******
Unbeknownst to everyone, Charis had been living in Barnes this whole time. Even her parents thought that she was traveling
abroad. She hadn‘t made any moves lately.
After all, Ethan had almost found her out after the parachute incident. Luckily, she reacted quickly to get rid of Lila‘s coach in
time. Although the woman didn‘t die in the end, she could never talk again as a vegetable. Now, she knew she had to lie low. But
lying low didn‘t mean she couldn‘t keep a close eye on Ethan‘s and Janet‘s movements.

What had unfolded recently was really interesting. It never occurred to Charis that Lila would be expelled from the White family
so soon. She had been the Whites‘ daughter for over twenty years after all. What surprised her more was that very soon after
Lila joined the Gillian family, she conspired against Janet with her brother.
And now, Ethan had put the two siblings behind bars for good. Charis had no pawns left. She had never thought that Lila would
be this stupid. If she had continued to work with her, she might‘ve gotten her own ass in trouble, too. Jeff, on the other hand, had
piqued Charis‘s interest. He looked like a reckless fool who would do anything for money. Charis felt that she had found a new
pawn. At first, she had had no hope for the Gillians, but now it seemed it was necessary for her to drop by Barnes‘ Prison.
