Nevertheless, it was no easy task to make a new artist popular. Take Cindy. So much money had been spent to make her popular. However, based on Cindy’s contract, she was entitled to 70 percent of the commission, whereas the company was entitled to 30 percent.What was more, Cindy was not as popular as Eliza.Chester was willing to destroy Eliza for Cindy’s sake. Nevertheless, Shedrick believed that it was not a good move. With Eliza’s potential, she would surely be able to earn about one billion dollars for the company before her contract ended.…After Eliza got downstairs, she held a meeting in her office.Only Skyler and Hailey showed up. As for the other assistants, makeup artists, and bodyguards who had worked for Eliza for a long time, they did not come after learning that something had happened to her.“What an ungrateful bunch of people,” Skyler criticized. “Lizzie, you’ve always treated them well. Besides giving them their base salary, you gave them a large sum of bonus
The next day, Felix Media announced the termination of its contract with Eliza. Once again, Eliza was in deep water.[The matter regarding Eliza is true. Even the company has terminated its contract with her.][Felix Media is a trashy company. Although the company is trying to deny its connections with Eliza, the scandal it was embroiled in can’t be erased.][I’m curious about Young Master Patterson, who kept Eliza as a mistress. Considering that he could keep an A-list celebrity just like that, he must have an impressive background.][Do you know Janee Hotel? It’s everywhere. You can even find the hotel overseas. I heard Young Master Patterson is the son of Janee Group’s chairman.]“...”After reading the comments on the Internet, Skyler felt a little intimidated. “Lizzie, is it fine to hire Internet ghostwriters to expose Monte’s identity?”“If we don’t expose him, how can Monte contact me?” While packing her things, Eliza replied, “Drop the subject. Let’s move out first.”
“Stop pretending. I bet you can recognize my voice.” Monte said furiously, “I’m engaged, and now everyone knows about the affair between us. Not only did my dad yell at me, but my fiancée also pulled a long face.”“Oh, it’s you.” Eliza said casually, “Considering how rich the Patterson family is, why didn’t you hire any Internet ghostwriters?”“...”Monte choked. He did use his connections to remove all the online comments related to his affair yesterday. After all, he must not allow anyone to discuss his real identity on the Internet, yet his identity was exposed today. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Eliza, were you the one who contributed to the online comments? You deliberately turned the netizen's attention to me.”“Stop accusing me.” Eliza’s pleasant voice sounded cold and indifferent. “Given my fame, it’s normal for you to appear on the trending list since we were once together.” Stung by her mockery, Monte found it strange, for Eliza never used to behave like that. Howeve
After Eliza read Monte’s post, she quickly shared it on Facebook. [I was in a relationship just like everyone else. But am I supposed to be considered a kept woman just because I’m a celebrity and my ex-boyfriend is rich? Can’t university students be in a relationship? Because of this relationship, I've been my hard work in the entertainment industry has been denied, and no one cares about my progression. If you like me, you may continue to do so. If you don’t, I won’t force you either.]Catherine and Freya promptly liked Eliza’s post and commented on it.Catherine: [I trust that you take relationships seriously.]Freya: [Hah. I’ve been wanting to say this. I’ve introduced some wealthy and powerful men to you, but you've never cared about them. It makes me wonder whether the netizens who called you a kept woman know who your friends are.]The netizens hotly discussed the matter.[I knew Eliza wasn’t that sort. Listen up. She was just in a normal relationship with Monte. You dirty-
[It turns out that Eliza has issues with her relationship just like us. Hugs.]“...”Upon noticing that the online comments were getting better, Skyler was so touched that she teared up. “Lizzie, this is wonderful. We won this time. Furthermore, many netizens who were here to criticize you have become your fans. Everyone saw you as arrogant back then, but now your fall this time has made everyone feel that celebrities are ordinary people instead. They also found you more approachable.“This shows that our efforts weren’t in vain.” Eliza smiled faintly.She was not over the moon about it because it did not matter to her whether she could continue staying in the entertainment industry or not. She just did not want everyone to misunderstand Eliza.After all, Eliza’s birth mother was still alive, and she must not let Eliza’s mother hang her head in shame.“Lizzie, say. Now that you’ve proved your innocence, I’m sure the company will be infuriated when they see this,” Skyler said ex
“I have no idea.” Shedrick frowned. “But when I had a meal with Monte some time ago, he didn’t mention Eliza at all. What’s more, when they broke up, Monte was really… done with Eliza.”“Done with her?” Chester uttered this word with a deep voice.An indescribable feeling overcame him.It turned out that b*stard Monte was done with Chester’s woman.Was Eliza such a disgrace?Afraid that Chester would flip the table in rage, Shedrick said bitterly, “It would've been fine if we didn’t cancel her contract with us. This time, it is our company’s fault. I need to persuade her to come back and sign the contract with us, but she’ll definitely reject it.”“I won’t let her get away with it.” Chester’s tone was cold. “I’ll make her return obediently and work with us.”Shedrick opened his mouth.He wanted to say that it was their fault from the start and that it was not a good idea for them to force Eliza to come back using threatening means.Nevertheless, Chester had always been tyranni
Monte watched her hang up on him and found it unbelievable.He could not believe Eliza dared to tell him off and even hang upon him.Was she not madly in love with him?Yet now, she did not give a shit about him. Could she be playing hard to get?A hint of interest crossed Monte’s eyes. He had to admit that Eliza’s tactic had attracted him.…While Eliza was making breakfast, Hailey called her. “Have you moved out?”“Yeah. Since the contract has been terminated, there’s no reason for me to use Felix Media’s apartment anymore.” Eliza stirred the noodles in the pot.Hailey was filled with a mix of emotions. “Eliza... you’ve come up with a solution, right?”“Hailey, you think too highly of me. If this issue hadn’t offended Monte, I wouldn’t have had any solution.” Eliza sounded indifferent. Regardless of how Hailey had treated her back then, the two of them were destined to go on different paths after Eliza left the company.“Do you think President Daley and President Jewell wil
“So you really did sleep with Monte?”There was a hint of fury in Chester's eyes, as though he was looking at the dirtiest thing in the world. He even tightened his grip.Eliza’s chin hurt so much that it felt like it was going to break, and she did not hold back her tears from running down her face. She looked disgusting with her tears mixed with the powder.Chester let go of her and took a piece of tissue paper to wipe his dirty hand. After that, he tossed the paper onto her with a bad temper. “Eliza, you’re f*cking dirty.”“What can I do?”Eliza forced a smile. “Since you don’t want to help me, I only have myself to rely on. President Jewell, did forcing me to sleep with you make it all too easy for you that, especially since you didn’t spend any money with me at all, you think of me as cheap? No matter how nasty your attitude was toward the women you previously slept with, you would at least give them what they deserved, right?”Truth be told, she would be throwing insults
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
