Eliza frowned. She did not know how long he had been standing there. “Young Master Jewell, you’re at the wrong place. Cindy’s lounge isn’t here.”“I didn’t know that you’re quite good at styling,” Chester had been standing there since she started working on her hair.He saw her fingers nimbly weaving in and out of the hair at the back of her head as if she had eyes there.This woman knew where her beauty was. It was a very simple hairstyle, but it was enough to emphasize her exquisite and refined face. He did not know a woman in a costume could look so beautiful.“I can’t help it. Someone bribed the stylist and is deliberately working against me, so I have to fend for myself,” Eliza said indifferently, as if she was talking about a matter that was inconsequential to her.“Are you saying that Cindy did it?” Chester looked at her, his dark eyes showing a slight sneer. “Are you complaining to me?”Eliza frowned.She could not figure out what Chester meant by that. Was he condemning
“Eliza, you don’t have to act innocent,” Chester said with a snort, “Everyone knows that Monte has messed around with you before this.”Chester was taken aback by this remark that came out of his own mouth.He knew that he had always spoken nastily, but he did not expect himself to be this nasty.It was not his intention to humiliate Eliza when he came here. However, seeing her attitude… He just went out of control.Eliza widened her pretty eyes.She probably did not expect to hear such a remark from Chester as well.Silence filled the lounge for a short while. Chester thought she would fly into a rage, but she lifted her chin with her eyebrows arched arrogantly. “So are you unhappy because I turned you down and didn’t let you fool around with me?Chester’s eyes darkened. He stood up and approached her slowly. “Eliza, are you trying to provoke me?”“I don’t know what you mean by that. Am I supposed to show an aggrieved and tearful look in front of you to make myself seem as tho
It had been a long while since Chester met such an interesting woman. Unfortunately...“Ellie, why did you close the door?”Leanne’s voice suddenly rang from outside. “I’m so mad. When I looked for those makeup artists just now, they said they were busy. When I looked for the head of the department, he claimed that we were late and caused a lot of problems for them…”The door was forcefully opened.At the sight of the man who opened the door, Leanne was instantly dumbfounded. She stammered, “Y-Young Master Jewell…”“Mm.” Chester acknowledged her with a captivating hoarse voice before striding out with his long legs.Leanne’s eyes settled on his silhouette for a moment before she glared at Eliza.Eliza was overwhelmed with unease. “Don’t misunderstand…”“Of course, I won’t misunderstand. What could I misunderstand? It must be due to your late arrival which made Young Master Jewell upset. That’s why he scolded you, right?” Leanne said in a huff, “Have you explained yourself to Yo
The assistant director had made it very clear that the first supporting actress’ beauty had surpassed that of the female lead, which would twist the intended theme of the movie. Upon hearing his words, Director Cheever became annoyed. “Eliza, if you want a role that allows you to look beautiful and a character that has a distinct personality as well as characteristics, you’re in the wrong set. Since today is the first day of shooting, you can still leave. But… if the crew suffers any losses because of you, you need to compensate us.”“Director Cheever, I think it’s Eliza’s first time being involved in blockbuster movies like this, so she might not be clear about some things.”Cindy promptly came over and explained, “Eliza, just follow the makeup artist’s arrangement. I have a scene that requires me to fall into mud tomorrow. Director Cheever asked me to go bare-faced and cast my image aside. Actually, Director Cheever is renowned for his filmmaking expertise, so we should believe i
Eliza’s calm, gentle voice sounded.As she was speaking, Director Cheever’s expression turned grimmer. If Eliza had not personally mentioned this, he would not have known that she had been staying alone in a hotel that was 30 kilometers away. Even the car that she used for traveling was a shabby Ford.He also just found out that nobody from the production department had informed Eliza of anything regarding the shooting. “Is everything she said true?” Director Cheever shifted his stern gaze to the production crew.“How could it be?” Leader Wells from the production department immediately stood up. “Yesterday, I asked a crew member to text her assistant. Clearly, she came late on purpose. How dare she lay the blame on us? She even said that she doesn’t want to stay with Cindy, that’s why I had to arrange for her to stay farther away. This place is remote, and there are only two good hotels here.”“You don’t want to stay with me?” Cindy was astonished. “Why? Is it because… you’re un
“You’re crazy. You must’ve spiked the drink, right? I won’t drink it.” Cindy began to scream. “Daphne, we used to be friends. Have you forgotten our promise to fly high together…” “Yeah, but I’ll fly high on my own. I’m really sick of you. Whenever we’re together, you’re forever the one in the limelight. All he thinks about and sees is you.” Eliza made this statement coolly throughout, but her eyes revealed wickedness and cruelty. “Go to hell, Sister.”As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed Cindy’s chin forcefully.Director Cheever watched the scene from the camera. Despite looking pretty and clean, Eliza was able to portray the ferocity, insanity, and wickedness of the character superbly.Eliza had not screamed or deliberately widened her eyes.It felt like… it was in her nature to be so evil.Compared to Eliza, Cindy’s expression was… relatively exaggerated and unnatural.She could not express her fear and frustration well so she had to resort to shrieking and gogglin
Director Cheever left as soon as he finished speaking.Eliza followed suit.Everyone gazed at her silhouette incredulously. They could not believe that someone could actually pass on their first try when filming with Director Cheever.Moreover, Eliza was not nervous at all when shooting with Norman, the best actor. Her acting was even comparable to his, causing the female lead, Cindy, to pale into insignificance.Cindy, who was being supported by her assistant, was inwardly seething. She did not expect Eliza to be able to act so brilliantly.She had to kick Eliza out, or Eliza would outperform her once the movie was released.Something seemed to hit Cindy.She darted a glance at the gazebo, only to realize that Chester had left without her knowledge.She sighed in annoyance. Chester must have witnessed what had happened just now.…After Chester got into the car, the chauffeur asked, “Young Master Jewell, are you going back to Canberra?”“Not yet. Let’s find a place to have
Shedrick said, “Sure enough, good actors will only be able to perform well if they have experienced the situation themselves. By the way, since you’re not saying anything, I’ll… ask Cindy to come back. I’ll tell her that it’s your decision, okay?”“You’re good at shifting the responsibility to me, huh?” Chester expressed a sense of sarcasm.“Ahem. Do I have any other choice? Everyone knows that she’s your woman. How can I manage her?” Shedrick said embarrassedly, “Why don’t you tell her in person?”“No need. I don’t want to say such harsh things to her.”Chester hung up the call.…On the set.After Eliza finished her lunch, she leaned idly on the chair to rest. Leanne quickly advised her, “Don’t rest anymore. The shoot that’s scheduled this afternoon is about to begin. Although you’ve managed to convince Director Cheever with your acting this morning, he dislikes snobbish actors.”“You’re overthinking it. I just feel that… I might not be able to shoot this afternoon.” Eliza
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
