The next day, Eliza got up before the sky was fully bright and secretly headed to the bathroom to take a pill.After that, she returned to the bed. At dawn, she took a deep breath and plucked up her courage to feel her way toward Chester.Chester opened his eyes, only to see a woman with a pretty face and figure lying on his body.He was soon awake. He held her waist and giggled. “Well, you’re quite proactive today.”“Are you going to give me an apartment?” Eliza hooked her hands around his neck. At that moment, her originally cold face looked like she was fawning on him.“Do you want it so badly?” Chester caressed her slim wrist. “Haven't you earned quite a lot this year?”“Earning money is hard.” Eliza buried her face in his neck. “I’m not as fortunate as Catherine and Freya to be able to have Shaun and Ryan as their boyfriends. Also, they come from impressive family backgrounds.”“You admire them, huh?” Chester’s eyes darkened.“...”Eliza did not say a word, which meant th
“Where’s Cindy?” Chester turned around and asked his assistant.His assistant said with mixed feelings, “Chairman Jewell had someone contact Cindy, but she rejected him. She even went to the police station and refused to come out.”Chester snorted and finally saw the light. Given that Cindy was hiding in the police station, he would not be able to do anything to her even if he planned to send some people to catch her.Hunter said furiously, “Chester, I don’t care if you’re merciless in other times, but you can’t let your mom die.”Unbothered about him, Chester turned around and dialed Cindy’s number.“Chester…” Cindy’s soft voice rang.“You’re quite brilliant.” Chester said with a laugh, “Cindy, I know you’re hiding in the police station, but can you hide there forever?”Cindy gritted her teeth. “I have no choice. Now, I don’t have a job, and I get teased wherever I go. Chester, you can’t possibly ask me to sacrifice to save your mother.”“You haven’t learned your lesson, huh?
Chester most probably took after his grandfather. Anyway, he did not take after Hunter.…Eliza had a photoshoot for a brand this morning, and only in the afternoon was she free to join the crew.Before the shooting, a makeup artist was helping Eliza to apply makeup.At that moment, Heather personally took two cups of juice over. “Miss Robbins, I’m treating everyone to some juice. These are for you and your assistant.”“Thank you.”Although Eliza thought that juice could quench her thirst, she did not really like it. However, since Heather had treated her to the drink, she was too shy to turn it down despite her dislike for Heather.After giving Eliza the juice, Heather was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she sat on the couch at the back. “Miss Robbins, have you watched ‘The Treasured Voice‘?”“I don’t have the time to watch it, but I’ve heard of it,” Eliza answered nonchalantly.The makeup artist said, “‘The Treasured Voice’ is quite popular. I heard the cover songs have ma
“Where is Cindy going to further study?” Eliza was curious.The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Hailey replied, “Film studies at the University of Canberra.”Eliza sighed. “That’s a good place. Not only has it produced many award-winning actors and actresses, but the professors in the field are also well-regarded. It seems like the company is insistent on making her an award-winning actress.” “...”Hailey felt helpless.As Eliza’s manager, Hailey actually knew a lot more. It was impossible for an ordinary person to do film studies at the University of Canberra if they did not take an entrance exam. The university agreed on it only because Jewell Corporation was willing to invest in a library on the campus.Even Eliza was not qualified for that.She could not understand what was so great about Cindy. First, Cindy plagiarised someone’s work. Then, she was known to have a bad character, thus ruining her reputation. She even caused a huge loss to the company du
“In the office.”“Thank you.” Eliza turned around and left.The few employees walked out of the pantry in trepidation and asked their colleague outside, “How long has Eliza been here?”“I have no idea. When I came over, I saw Miss Robbins standing here,” the colleague responded.Those employees trembled in fear, wishing the ground would swallow them up.…In the president’s office.When Eliza entered, Cindy’s manager, Madison Clare, was also present. Madison grinned. “Please thank President Jewell on my behalf. It’s all thanks to him.”“Cough.” Shedrick quickly glared at Madison. “Hurry up and leave. I’m busy.”Madison turned around with a smile and greeted Eliza enthusiastically. “Eliza, what brings you here today? I’ve already had Cindy sign the contract for the period drama the company recommended to Hailey the other day. Thank you for giving Cindy such a great opportunity. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”“You’re welcome.”Eliza nodded and replied nonchalantly.“It’
“So…”Shedrick was so furious that he laughed. “Well, Eliza is a woman too. With the unfair distribution of resources and your bias for Cindy in many ways, Eliza is certainly upset. Why don’t you allow her to set up her own studio? Knowing that Cindy has one but not her, she’s bound to make a scene.”“Eliza is currently the artist who brings in the most income for the company. If you allow her to set up her own studio, she’ll slowly slip out of the company’s grasp and reduce the company’s revenue. If you can, why don’t you make a few more artists famous for the company?” Chester’s icy voice rang out.Shedrick sighed. “Chester, you’re really sc*mmy. After all, Eliza has slept with you for a long time. However, all you do is treat her as a tool to sleep with and make money. To you, is she not even as important as Cindy?”“Cindy is quite useful,” Chester said indifferently. “As for Eliza, you can still try to secure other resources and endorsements for her.”“Fine. Forget it.”Shedr
However, men would not treasure something once they got it.Chester sat down by the window with a long face and took out a cigarette packet from the drawer.Upon seeing that, Eliza sat on his lap. She spontaneously took the lighter from the drawer and covered it to light the cigarette for him.Chester raised his thick, black brow. Then, he looked down at the woman in his arms who lit the cigarette for him. She had thick make-up on her lashes, and her face was heavily powdered. It was indeed pretty and delicate.Nevertheless, the scent of the cosmetic products she used made him feel that she was no different from other women he had been with.The buzz of excitement that had just rushed up inside him somehow wore off.“Why are you wearing such heavy make-up today?” He brushed his hand on her face. When he saw the powder on the tip of his finger, he wiped it on her skirt disdainfully.Eliza was at a loss of words.He was the scum of the earth.“Wash it off.” He pushed her away.
Eliza’s body trembled out of anger. After some time, she said, “Okay. Let me be a shareholder of Felix Media, and I’ll stop arguing with you over this matter.”“Argue?” Chester narrowed his eyes and smiled. “You don’t have the right to argue with me. As for you becoming a shareholder of Felix Media, don’t even think about it.”After that, he started walking out as if he could not be bothered to deal with Eliza.Eliza grabbed his notebook from the table and threw it on the floor. Chester turned around and slapped her. He ordered coldly, “Pick it up.”Eliza raised her head. Tears from her eyes smudged the low-quality mascara that she deliberately put on. “What will happen if I don’t pick it up?”Chester did not have a good temper or patience, and at that moment, he lost it. “Did you forget the reason you looked for me? If you don’t pick the notebook up, don’t talk to me about money or houses. You won’t get any good resources either. Don’t even think about being more superior tha
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
