With a smile, Chester suddenly moved closer to Eliza’s ears and said nastily, “Eliza, you wanted to send a few of your subordinates overseas before this, right? I don’t think I’ve told you that they haven’t been able to leave the country…” Eliza suddenly lifted her head, her eyes pretty and clear. She glared at him in shock. “What did you do?”“Nothing much. All I did was refuse their visas. With their names and identities exposed, they can’t go overseas for now. As you know, they might be in danger being in the country too. Having said that, I can easily do something to ensure their safety.”Chester covered the cigarette in his mouth while lighting it. As usual, his remarks were harsh, but he said it with a gentle smile on his handsome face, like an elegant young man.However, his behavior was far from gentlemanly.Eliza instantly grasped his meaning.Her right hand was shivering with anger. She had an urge to slap him.“You want to slap me, huh?” Chester raised his brows. “Su
“Good…”Chester lifted Eliza’s chin softly before he leaned over to kiss her.Eliza subconsciously resisted him.“Did you forget what I said?” Chester nibbled her lips and stared at her. Their long eyelashes almost tangled together. Eliza was filled with despair. Ultimately, she had no choice but to surrender to her fate. She opened her lips slightly and accepted his kiss.She was still not done eating the egg, so the taste was still in her mouth. If this had happened in the past, Chester would have been disgusted. However, he found the egg particularly delicious today.He kissed her so passionately that it was as though he was going to eat her up.Only until he kissed Eliza’s neck did she dodge him. “I didn’t rest well last night. I’m exhausted.”“Okay. I’ll let you rest for two days.” Chester was not in a hurry, and he stroked her long hair.“I want to go to the hospital to visit Freya this afternoon. No matter what, I need to thank her,” Eliza said lethargically with her h
“Young Master Jewell…” Hailey looked at Chester, not knowing what to do. “You and Eliza…”“It’s what you see. She’ll stay here more often from now on, so please buy her more clothes and send them over. Also, don’t set too tight of a schedule for her. Don’t let her go too far as well. I don’t want my woman to be too busy. Do you understand?” Chester ordered.“I got it.”Given that Hailey had been in this industry for over ten years, she had encountered this kind of situation a lot. It did not take her long to pull herself back together.After Eliza got changed, she was ready to leave. At that moment, Chester suddenly clutched her arm and pointed at his thin lips.That behavior made Hailey look away quickly. She was filled with dread.Although she was not too familiar with Chester, she had heard from other managers that he was always cold and distant toward women. Even before he was engaged to Cindy, he would give her the cold shoulder during the occasional company events, let alon
Freya just woke up from her nap. Since she could not move, she watched television with Catherine. The minute she saw Eliza come in, she was both surprised and pleased. “Eliza, it’s good to know that you’re fine.”Staring at the bandage in front of Freya’s chest, a mix of feelings welled up in Eliza. “Chester said that your rib is broken…”“It’s no big deal. The doctor said I’ll be fine after a while.” Freya said with a grin, “Cathy and I were talking about you just now. We’re really thankful that you helped us take revenge against Sarah. I’ve long since hated her.”Eliza was disconcerted by Freya’s laugh. She turned around, only to meet Catherine’s curious and confused gaze. “Lizzie, I didn’t know you were friends with Charity. You’ve never mentioned it.” Catherine bent over to pour a cup of hot coffee for her. “Take a seat. I hope the three of us can have a talk.”“There’s nothing much to talk about. Well… Charity and I had known each other since we were young and before she s
It was over...Was it really over?No, it was just the beginning of certain things.For example, the relationship between Eliza and Chester, as well as between Freya and Rodney.Eliza’s gaze was complicated. “Freya, Sarah is badly injured, so I reckon she’ll be paralyzed in the future. You and Rodney will surely…”“That’s even better. I’ve been wanting to divorce him for a long time.” Freya laughed in a carefree manner. “Once I get a divorce and recover, I’ll treat you guys to a meal.”“Go ahead and divorce him. I’ve got your back.” Catherine could not put up with Rodney, that sc*mbag, any longer.“Freya, you’re such a great person. You’ll definitely meet someone better than him.” Eliza secretly sighed. Anybody with a discerning eye could tell that Freya was much better than Sarah. Yet, Rodney did not know how to appreciate her.When Eliza left, Catherine walked her down.Freya was alone in the ward, and her tears fell in spite of herself.She promptly wiped them off.Was sh
“I’ll feed Dani. It’s a mere trifle.”At the sight of Ryan’s firm gaze, Freya snorted. “You’ll know it when tomorrow morning comes. But if you don’t get some good sleep, how are you going to work tomorrow?”“My mom said she’d look after Dani with Aunty Loretta tomorrow. Aunty Wendy will also be coming over tomorrow…”Although Ryan and Rodney had a falling-out, Wendy was still Dani’s grandmother. Freya went quiet for a while before she said, “Ryan, you shouldn’t let Aunty Wendy take Dani back to the Snow family at this time. I’m not worried about Aunty Wendy, considering she always keeps her word. However, I’m afraid that Rodney will take me as a wicked person and think that I don’t deserve to be Dani’s mother because of this matter. It will be a problem if he fights for Dani’s custody.”“Freya…”Ryan suddenly opened his mouth and furrowed his attractive brows. Then, he bit his tongue. “I think there’s something I need to tell you. Sarah has already been rescued. The doctor said
When Catherine came back, she asked, “Why are your eyes red? Did you cry when I was out?”Freya then briefly told her what Ryan said.Catherine’s expression was grave. “That’s possible. Now, let’s wait and see what Sarah will tell Rodney when she wakes up.”…Sarah woke up the next day after her operation.She woke up with a start and was still in shock after that.Only when she saw Rodney did she begin to bawl. “Rodney, why are you so late…”Sarah’s body jerked. All of a sudden, she realized that her limbs had no strength. At the thought of what happened that night, she sank into utter despair.She was disabled.She was paralyzed.Her face was disfigured too.“I’m sorry, Sarah.” At the sight of Sarah’s pale face, Rodney was heartbroken and deeply embarrassed. “It’s all my fault for not getting there in time. I really didn’t expect Freya to be so cruel. I’m really, really sorry. I’ll bear the responsibility…”He grabbed hold of her hands with his reddened eyes.Sarah froze
Sarah caressed her belly. She did not weep, but her tears rolled down uncontrollably. “Rodney, I didn’t plan to tell you this, but that night was a dream come true for me. I thought I’d be content with the memories I had of that night when I’m abroad. Also, I knew you couldn’t bear to part with Freya, and I wanted to see you happy. Ah, my child. My poor child…”She was indeed heartbroken.After all, she had planned to use the child as a bargaining chip to enter the Snow family in the future.Now that she had lost the child, she had no choice but to come up with another way.“You’re too silly.”Rodney stroked her long hair.Sure enough, his speculation was right.Sarah had sacrificed a lot for him, so much that he could never repay her in his lifetime.He did not even dare to tell her that she could never get pregnant again.However, it did not matter. He had a child anyway.“By the way, Rodney, has Freya been arrested?” Sarah suddenly asked in fear.Rodney’s body stiffened.
