After taking a seat, Rodney heard two minor celebrities discussing something behind a partition.“The man in the blue suit earlier is so good-looking. He’s even more handsome than the male celebrities in the entertainment industry. From what I see, his clothes are quite expensive. I wonder which wealthy businessman is he?”“Oh, him. You joined the industry late, so you might not know about this. He’s Rodney Snow.”“His last name is Snow. Is he that person from the Snow family…”“Shhh. Keep your voice down. Yes, that’s him. But don’t even think of playing up to him. He has been abandoned by the Snow family and even stripped of his inheritance rights.”“Even if he has been stripped of his inheritance rights, he’s still a member of the Snow family. Even crumbs that fall from the hands of those people would be enough to feed us for the rest of our lives. Besides, if we get him to be our financial backer, we can take advantage of his connection and resources.”“Ha! You are too naive.
Eliza was satisfied with Rodney’s expression. There was nothing better than killing a person by torturing their heart.Did Rodney not claim that Freya was evil? Now, she would let him know that his ex-wife had not done anything bad all along.“Freya was just taking the blame for me.”Eliza swirled the glass of red wine in her hand. She was smiling, but her pretty eyes were void of warmth. “Freya only knew that I kidnapped Sarah when it was almost morning. By the time she rushed over, I had severely injured Sarah. Freya knew that if I were caught, you would definitely kill me. However, she was different. She was your wife, the prime minister’s goddaughter, and the mother of your child. Even if she got caught, you wouldn’t kill her even though you were furious.”Rodney’s expression was as cold as ice. He stared straight into Eliza’s eyes. “Did Freya tell you to come and lie to me on purpose? She has found such a ridiculous excuse just because she wants to reconcile with me. Ha! Doe
Rodney had no choice but to marry Sarah. He had no choice but to live such a suffocating life.He did not even want to go back to his so-called home.All of that was caused by Eliza.Rodney’s eyes reddened from anger.He increased the force he exerted in his hands.Eliza’s small face was red from being strangled. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and made a shattering sound, which alarmed the people nearby.“Ah! Young Master Snow is killing someone.”Someone exclaimed, and the banquet was thrown into a mess.Luckily, a man nearby came over and separated Eliza and Rodney. Eliza doubled over while grasping her throat in pain. She felt as if she was on the border of life and death. She almost suffocated.“Let me go. I’ll kill her,” Rodney shouted angrily.Seeing his ferocious expression, the security guard put in more strength and held him down tightly.“Miss Robbins, are you okay?” A few gentlemen from the banquet surrounded Eliza and helped her up.“I’m… fine.” E
“Don’t worry, Miss Robbins. Rodney doesn’t have any real power now. The projects he has aren’t going well either. On the other hand, you’re the top celebrity of Felix Media, who has the backing of Jewell Corporation. Who would dare to give you a hard time?”Eliza touched her neck, which was red from being strangled. She sneered in her heart. ‘Rodney, go ahead and be angry. The angrier you are, the more frustrated and regretful you’ll feel.’However, the game had only just begun.…After leaving the banquet, Eliza’s phone rang.It was Chester who called. After picking it up, his cold voice sounded. “Eliza, you’re pretty amazing, huh? To think you made such a huge commotion from attending a banquet.”“...”“Why? Are you a mute now?” Chester got even furious when he did get a reply.“No…” Eliza spoke with her dry and painful throat, “Young Master Snow strangled me. My throat feels uncomfortable.”“You’re so bold. Why didn’t he strangle you to death?” Chester’s mockery sounded a
“Yes, he wouldn’t dare.” Chester realized that he liked Eliza’s confident expression. It made him want to throw her on the bed and conquer her immediately. He pinched her chin. Just as he was about to kiss her, he halted all of a sudden. “It’s always the same cold face. Smile. I don’t want to have fun with a robot.”Eliza said calmly, “I'm threatened to do this. You should be grateful that I’m not vomiting.”“Vomit?” Chester chuckled. However, his eyes were ice-cold. “Do I disgust you that much?”“You know full well how many women you’ve slept with. To be honest, I’m quite afraid of catching a disease.” Eliza did not mince her words at all.“Oh, what gives you the right to criticize me?” Chester tightened his pinch on her chin. “Didn’t you used to be someone else’s lover? Besides, it’s not your first time having sex with me either. Why are you acting like you’re so innocent? It’s disgusting.”“Don’t touch me if you feel disgusted.”When Eliza met Chester’s gaze, his cold and ha
Chester’s expression remained indifferent as he exhaled a puff of smoke.He was like an audience sitting below the stage, watching the show.The look on Chester’s face made Rodney grab the collar of Chester’s robe in a fit of anger. “Say another f*cking word. Do you think I don’t have the guts to hit you? Chester, I really want to kill you now. Why do I have a best friend like you? You’re a f*cking backstabber and a selfish person.”“Are you done talking?”Chester finally spoke. His voice and expression were calm. “Rodney, think about it. For whose sake did you come here to bother me?”“Don’t you know who I’m doing this for?” Rodney’s eyes were bloodshot from anger. “Because of you, my life is ruined and in a mess.”“Because of me?”Chester laughed sarcastically. “Rodney, you always do this. You push all the blame on Shaun, Freya, and me. Haven’t you thought about why your old friends are getting further away from you? How many people attended the high profile, lavish wedding yo
“Enough. Stop passing the blame.” Rodney gritted his teeth. “When I went to rescue Sarah, Freya was the only person there, and Sarah was critically injured. Freya was caught red-handed with evidence. How could I have believed her?”“What about after the incident?” Chester raised his eyebrows. “Did you calm down and think it through? Did you at least try to believe your wife a little? If only you put in some effort investigating it, you would’ve known that Freya left The Lodge in the morning. How could she have had the time to hurt Sarah? Or, if you had put in more effort, you would’ve found out that the kidnapper had no connection to Freya at all. However, you didn’t trust her and insisted it was her. Why should Freya explain things to you? She must’ve been so disappointed.”“Shut up. Shut up.”As if his tail had been stepped on, Rodney’s face paled. “Freya was not willing to explain things to me. I would’ve wavered if she had spoken even one sentence. She was the one who wanted to
Rodney had never thought of that before. He only hated Freya because she stripped Sarah of her role as a mother.When the thought of what would happen if Sarah gave birth to the child finally hit him, he shuddered. He was not sure whether he should feel fortunate or sad.“What else do you want to say? Say it all.”He looked at Chester numbly.Chester leaned back a little. Although he was wearing a smile, the remarks he made were extremely harsh. “You came here to look for me angrily not just because you were lied to, but because you hadn’t been living well. The more unsatisfied you are, the more you miss your previous life. Back then, your parents were very close to you, and when you got home, you had a cute wife and child waiting for you. What about now? What do you have? You have a woman who makes you feel bad and wants you to hold a grand wedding for her even though you’re short of money? A woman who always asks you for money, power, and wealth, or perhaps a woman who suspects y
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
