What a bold woman. “Eliza, stop fooling around. Didn’t I make myself clear enough? This is Chester Jewell.”“Oh, really?” Eliza’s brows relaxed. “I assumed the man who fell for Cindy to be ugly and have poor taste. When I saw this elegant and strikingly handsome gentleman, I didn’t dare take him as the rumored Young Master Jewell.”“Eliza…” Shedrick’s face went red with rage.“Did I say something wrong? I just praised Young Master Jewell for his strikingly handsome looks.” Eliza shrugged, looking baffled. “I had never seen Chester before, so I could only imagine his appearance. Since I hate Cindy, I don’t have a good impression of her man either.” Her words left Shedrick exasperated. All he could do was look at Chester fearfully. “I’m sorry, Young Mater Jewell. Eliza… She may be good at acting, but there’s something wrong with her brain.”Anyhow, he wanted to keep Eliza, considering that she was the company’s milch cow. Chester put out the cigarette in the ashtray. When he lift
Shedrick looked abashed. “Our company can arrange another movie for you—”“If you’re not satisfied with this company, you can switch to another one.” Chester interrupted Shedrick and glanced at Eliza sideways with a hint of playfulness. “You want it to be fair, but tell me. Which company in the entertainment industry is perfectly fair? If you’re unhappy with it, feel free to get lost as long as you can afford the compensation for breaching the contract.”Eliza fixed her eyes on his indifferent and cruel face, but she was not put out by his nasty remark.Instead, she nodded after looking into his calm eyes for a moment. “Okay, I’ll pay the fees. I won’t interrupt both of you further.”“Sure.” Chester smiled wanly. “But as you know, the Jewell family occupies half of the entertainment industry. I can easily blacklist you.”Eliza’s body stiffened, and she glared at him.This man in front of her made absolutely no pretense of hiding the hostility in his eyes.Just like that, the atm
Chester took a deep drag at his cigarette and warned Eliza.Eliza stared at his back. Out of his sight, her eyes flamed with hatred.“As far as I know, Charity had very few friends. The only people she knew were Freya and Catherine.” Chester said, “You didn’t even visit her when she was in jail. It makes me wonder how she came to be your friend. You even dug up her parents’ ashes. If you don’t give me an explanation…” He paused for an instant and turned around with a cold gaze. “I could suspect that you’re doing some secret cult activities, and I’ll call the police to arrest you.”Eliza looked at him. “If I tell you that she appeared in my dream and delivered the message to me, will you believe it?” “Do you take me for a fool?” Chester instantly burst into a scornful laugh. Eliza bit her lip. “What I said is true.”She slowly took out an antique pendant from her necklace. “It’s most probably because of this pendant. Charity and I used to live in the same courtyard when we wer
Chester threw a grim glance at Shedrick.Shedrick’s heart shuddered, and he promptly corrected himself. “If you’re interested in her, I’ll try my best to send her to your bed, alright?”“Shut up.” Chester could not help but warn him, “I was asking her about something else.”“Seriously?” An incredulous look crossed Shedrick’s face.Chester rubbed his temples. “Have you seen me pursuing or forcing any woman?”“That’s true too. With your status, it has always been the women pursuing you,” Shedrick answered with a grin.Chester could not be bothered to drone on with him.Hence, he turned around and walked out with long strides. When he was at the door, he paused to ask, “Is the movie The Belle that great?” “Of course. Look who the director is. It’s Director Cheever. All his movies are f*cking excellent.” Shedrick continued, “Tsk. Casting the female lead aside, people have also been vying for the first and second supporting female roles fiercely.”Chester fell silent for a few sec
Chester must not have thought that Eliza was actually Charity.Charity did not understand why he was still concerned about her. Was he not willing to let go of her even after her family was broken and she was dead?If she were to describe her feelings toward Sarah as bone-deep hatred, then she loathed Chester. If she had another chance, she wished she had nothing to do with this man. That was why she had been trying hard to hide from him over the past two years, and even so, she still ended up crossing his path.At this point, all she wanted was to make more money to compensate for the breach of contract and leave Felix Media afterward.Amid her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Shedrick. “Eliza, I have good news for you. Young Master Jewell just said that our company owes you, so although you can’t be the female lead, he’ll cast you as the first supporting actress.”Eliza’s face stiffened. “Are you sure he wants me to be the first supporting actress? Is he t
Eliza kept quiet.However, the white mask looked intimidating and eerie under the dim lights. Having been imprisoned in this dark spot for a long time, Thomas was on the brink of breaking down. He bellowed uncontrollably, “It must be her. It must be her. Ask her to come here. I’m her brother.”“I’m sure she detests having a brother like you.” Eliza said unforgivingly, “You disrupted her plans time and time again even though she has advised and warned you before. If you didn’t stir up trouble, she wouldn’t have done this to you. You couldn’t even handle the trivial tasks she asked you to do.”“My bad. It’s my fault.” After hearing her words, Thomas was even more certain that Sarah was the one who kidnapped him.He knew better than anyone else that his sister had always been cruel. She had some mysterious people secretly working for her.“I won’t dare to do it anymore. Tell her that I’ll behave myself in the future.” Thomas said tearfully, “Chester has crippled me down there, and
Eliza also hated Shaun, but her friend had just gotten back together with him recently. In this case, she did not mind lending her friend a hand.“After Thomas makes his escape, we can’t use this place anymore. You need to find another location soon,” Eliza ordered.“Alright.”...After Eliza left, the man took Thomas to the mountain behind.Only until Thomas was almost awake did the man pretend to use a shovel to dig a hole seriously. At the sight of the scene, it finally dawned on Thomas that the man wanted to bury him alive.The man thought he was dead, but he was still alive.While enduring the pain in his chest, Thomas ran away stealthily. “Eh? Where are you? Stop there.” By the time the man realized it, Thomas had run a considerable distance, and the former started going after him right away.Thomas ran like the wind to the village at the foot of the mountain while screaming ‘help’.With that, the man stopped going after him and ran off in the opposite direction inst
“Apparently, you know quite a lot of things.”Shaun’s tone was grim.Upon hearing it, Thomas’s heart raced in fear. “I can be your witness, but you need to promise me one thing, that is to ask Chester to protect me. I don’t want to be kidnapped anymore.”Although Shaun was a shadow of his former self, he was Chester’s good friend. In this regard, Thomas believed that Chester would still be able to protect him.“Kidnap?” Shaun was startled.“Yes. Sarah, that b*tch, probably thinks that I always give her trouble and disrupt her plans, so she wants to kill me.” Thomas said in agony, “I’ve been locked in a dark cellar for the past one month. Every day was like a living hell for me. There was a masked woman who occasionally came and tortured me. She even planned on killing me in the end, but I escaped. I’m still wounded.”“Alright. I’ll get someone to protect you. Keep a low profile and don’t let Sarah find out,” Shaun immediately said.“Okay, okay. Young Master Hill, I’m counting on
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
