However, Levi had investigated Eliza’s background information before. She did not look like a person who was hiding her identity as a finance tycoon. He found Eliza mysterious. He thought that with Eliza’s current financial ability, she did not need the meager earnings from the entertainment industry at all. Nevertheless, Levi had self-awareness. Everyone had their private matters. As long as Reborn was willing to help Ferra Film Group, Ferra would have more confidence and funds to expand on a large scale. Did Felix Media not have their confidence that day because of the capital behind Chester?“Money makes everything easier.” Eliza signaled Skyler to make some coffee. “Ferra Film Group’s development hasn’t been as good as Felix Media’s for the past years. You should be aware of the reason. The celebrities under your company are taking on low-quality dramas for money. You can buy high-quality scripts and invite popular big shots when there's money. You can also produce your ow
A chill ran down Skyler’s spine. She did not expect Eliza to be so ambitious. However, Eliza looked pretty… cool like this.…In the following days, Eliza rested at home and did nothing. She occasionally went shopping with Freya and Catherine or went to a spa. Her days were spent carefreely. On that day, when Eliza was playing badminton with Freya and Catherine at the badminton court, Freya received a call from Ryan.“Where are you?”“I’m playing badminton with Lizzie.” Freya was very into the game. She said annoyedly, “Do you have anything to say? If not, I’m hanging up. I have to continue playing.”Ryan’s handsome face darkened. “Doesn’t she have to film? You’ve been having fun with her a lot lately. Did you forget that you have a boyfriend?”“How could I forget that?” Freya chuckled and said, “It’s just that every time we go on a date, we’re either eating, watching movies, going on a walk, or shopping. It’s not as interesting.”Ryan was hurt. He sounded like he was grit
Catherine glanced at Freya coldly. “I’m sorry. The person beside my husband isn’t a good man.”Freya cleared her throat awkwardly. “It’s fine. Some people won’t be affected because they know how to keep their hands clean.”Eliza did not say a word. She simply turned around and walked to a bench at the side to rest and drink some water. She also took a towel and wiped the sweat on her face.“Wifey, I didn’t think you guys would be here too.” When Shaun saw them, he was surprised and nervous at the same time. After all, his wife utterly hated Chester just some time ago. She did not even let him climb onto the bed.Shaun added in an effort to please, “If I had known you guys were coming, you could’ve invited me too. I wouldn’t have had to ask Chester. After all, you know that I don’t have many friends. I had no choice.”After he spoke, he glanced at Chester with disdain. Chester was speechless. F*ck, it was a typical move of abandoning a friend now that he had a wife.However,
There were only two badminton courts in the huge arena.Only five of them were there. When Eliza spoke, the shuttlecocks of both courts just happened to fall on the ground. Although she had lowered her voice, her words still reached every corner. Catherine and Freya did not think there was anything wrong with it.However, Eliza’s boss was still present…The few people looked toward Chester in unison. After the corners of Chester’s lips raised into a sarcastic smile, he bent over and picked up the shuttlecock on the ground. “Come, let’s continue playing.” Shaun strangely felt nervous. On the other hand, Shedrick was exasperated due to Eliza’s arrogant words. “Eliza, don’t you think you have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities? Even the best actors aren’t as arrogant as you. Although Director Lawrence hasn’t filmed many movies, he has still filmed a considerable number of them. He has wide connections and knows many people. If you continue being ignorant, getting offers
That day, Eliza’s hair was in a sleek ponytail to make it easier to play badminton. She wore black leggings, a purple sports T-shirt, and white sports shoes. Her delicate and clean ankles were revealed. Eliza’s badminton skills were not bad. When she bent her waist, Chester could see her nicely-shaped bottom from his position. Sometimes when she jumped, her chest looked good too. It was not that Chester had not touched them before. He was familiar with every part of her body. Maybe it was because he had not been with a woman lately. He took a cigarette, lit it up, and took a few drags. Freya, who was opposite him, was unhappy looking at him. She hinted at Eliza with her eyes in secret. Eliza was speechless. She did not really understand. Not long after, she saw Freya hitting a high overhand shot. She turned around to chase after the shuttlecock and receive it. When she saw the shuttlecock failing in Chester’s direction, she immediately figured it out. To not disappo
Freya was surprised. The person Ryan brought was truly not bad. “This is my friend, Eliza Robbins.” Freya immediately went to Eliza’s side.“Nice to meet you, Ms. Robbins.” Max extended his hand politely. Eliza shook his hand. When their gazes met, it was calm. Chester watched them coldly. Everyone was an adult. He knew what Ryan and Freya were thinking. However, would Max fancy Eliza?He would just have a fling with her as well. “I was just about to take a rest, Mr. Langston. Why don’t you play in my stead? I’ll have a chat with Ryan.” Freya handed the racket to Max. “How are your badminton skills?”“It’s so-so.”Max stood on the other side. Eliza served first. Both of them played back and forth. The rally lasted for tens of strokes. Eliza would sometimes make tricky shots, but Max could receive them all. They played back and forth and were in tune with each other. As Freya watched from the side, she sighed. “Your friend has great skills.”“I’m not lacking compa
“I understand too,” Ryan said. “People like us have been living on top of the hierarchy since we were young. We’ve had many people around us pleasing and flattering us since birth. However, I’ve always thought that everyone is equal.”“Really? I don’t think so.” Chester’s attitude was lazy and slack. “President Jewell, being overly arrogant isn’t a good thing,” Ryan reminded out of kindness. Chester scoffed. It was obvious that he disagreed.…They had a badminton match and played to their hearts’ content. After that, Eliza went to the bathroom to wash her face. Max came out from the men’s bathroom on the opposite side after washing his hands. Both of their heads were lowered. Max laughed lightly. “I haven’t played badminton with you like this for a long time. But your badminton skills in the past weren’t as good as they are now.”Eliza did not raise her head. “Did you come here on purpose?”“By coincidence. Ryan said his wife had a great friend who was single and he wan
“President Jewell, didn’t you ask me to stay nine feet away from you?” Eliza reminded Chester out of the goodness of her heart.“Now, I’ll allow you to stay within two feet from me,” Chester said in a merciful tone.The moment Eliza heard it, she laughed.It was as if she had heard a joke.The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds. Chester’s icy voice carried a sense of warning. “I believe your financial backer won’t dare to go against my order.”“Go and look for my financial backer, then. Both of you should communicate before you get him to look for me.”Eliza hung up on him.As Chester heard Eliza hang up, a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes. This woman was bold. How audacious of her to hang up on him.Was she under the impression that he could not deal with her?Chester soon informed his subordinate. “Check on Eliza and find out who her financial backer is. I must know the result within a day.”He wanted to see what kind of a man she found who allowe
