“Eliza, how crazy could you be to put an animal trap in your house? Come down right now and release me.” Chester was in so much pain that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Even so, he bent down to try and open the animal trap, which caused his wound to hurt even more. The more it hurt, the weaker he became. Even his leg began to bleed.“Okay, okay. I’ll come right now.”Eliza replied promptly. After entering her room, she nearly burst into laughter.The animal trap was meant to prevent people from sneaking into her house. She did not expect it to trap Chester.It served him right.She leisurely got changed and headed downstairs. Chester had long been waiting eagerly. After noticing that she had gotten changed, he was seething with anger. “You actually had the leisure to get changed. Eliza, are you f*cking tricking me?”“President Jewell, don’t accuse me. I wasn’t wearing a bra just now. What if you thought that I was trying to seduce you?”Eliza took a glimpse of his wound wi
After hearing what Eliza said, Shedrick was dumbfounded. “Do you mean President Jewell climbed the wall of your house, got injured from the animal trap, and was sent to the hospital?”“I didn’t mean for him to get hurt. As you know, given my popularity, there’ll usually be haters harassing me, like the last time those haters ruined my car. I’m doing this to protect myself. Who knew President Jewell… would be so lawless?”Eliza grumbled glumly.Shedrick was at a loss for words.Oh well. He actually thought that she was, to some extent, right.“Don’t tell me that I’m unreasonable. I’ll be transferring one million dollars to you to compensate for President Jewell’s medical fees and mental damage caused. I believe that should be enough for him, and can you remind him not to try to blackmail me? If I’m forced to a corner, I’ll share the issue online and consult a lawyer.” Right after that, Eliza hung up the call mercilessly. Shedrick looked at his phone and gasped.How arrogant and
Shedrick was speechless.That was indeed cruel.After all, it was natural for people to fall sick nowadays.However, Chester had not used that tactic for a long while now. By the looks of it, his boundaries had been challenged.“President Jewell, Eliza is in the wrong, but she’s only protecting herself because she was injured by some haters a while back. It’s understandable for her to place an animal trap in her house.”“Why are you standing up for her?” Chester suddenly asked coldly. “Could you be interested in her? Oh, by the way, I heard you privately gave her 50 million dollars when the company terminated its contract with her.”Although it was a hot day, Shedrick felt a chill run down his back. “Don’t get me wrong. I gave her 50 million dollars because I did think it was the company’s fault, and I felt a little guilty about it. As for why I’m standing up for her, our company has been involved in so much scandal that a lot of people dare not work with our artists. Eliza is th
Chester lifted his head mockingly. “Now that my leg is injured, am I supposed to entertain you both with a smile? It’s fine since you’re my mom, but who is she to receive the same treatment?”Madam Jewell was so angry that she nearly felt a pain in her chest. “We’re just concerned about you, and Cindy is my lifesaver.”“Yeah. For your sake, I’ve given her all the resources she wants, yet she’s still not content. Does she want me to marry her and be nice to her too?”A taunting look washed over Chester’s face. “If not for the fact that you need her blood, would she be able to stand before me and make demands over and over again?”“You…”“No worries, Madam Jewell.” Cindy stopped Madam Jewell and forced a smile on her face. “Young Master Jewell just got injured, so it’s normal that he’s in a bad mood. I’ll take my leave now and come to visit him another day.”Cindy wanted to stay at first, but Chester’s remarks were getting nastier.He had never made it so obvious back then.Howev
However… Charity was dead.Whenever Chester thought of her, he would feel miserable.…Only after Chester was in the hospital for three days did Shaun learn that he was admitted to the hospital. With that, Shaun brought some fruits to visit Chester.“This is rare. It’s my first time seeing you admitted to the hospital.” Shaun asked in surprise, “How did you get injured?”“...”Chester looked terrible. He wondered why everyone who came had to ask him that question.As the party involved in the incident, he was too shameless to answer it.“Where’s Catherine? Did she approve of you visiting me?” Chester changed the topic. He took an orange and began to peel it. “She couldn’t stand the sight of me that day on the court.”At the mention of that, Shaun turned glum. “Oh, she and Eliza brought the kids on vacation to Hawaii two days ago. She even posted all kinds of stories on Instagram. She’s probably having so much fun that she got carried away.”Chester squeezed the orange so hard
Chester tossed the phone back to Shaun expressionlessly. “When are they coming back?”“Haven’t you ended your relationship with Eliza?” Shaun was confused. “Can you please stop provoking her? It puts me in a very difficult position caught in the middle. There are plenty of beautiful women in your company.”Chester grinned wryly.Although there were plenty of beautiful women, Eliza was the one who put him in the hospital.Shaun shook his head helplessly. “It’s fine that you were indifferent back then, but why are you so cold now? Find yourself a girlfriend you can spend the rest of your life with. Look at my life now. I’m very happy.”“You were just lucky enough to meet Catherine,” Chester said calmly.“Cathy is indeed nice, but it’s because I was wise enough to notice it. One day, we’ll get old. No matter how fickle you were and how much fun you had when you were young, only a few people are sincere to you.”Shaun said, “I’m certain Cathy is willing to spend the rest of her life
After the two of them walked out of the airport, Shaun personally came to pick up his wife and children.Then, he sent Eliza back to her villa.After watching the car leave, Eliza turned around and wanted to enter the villa when a few husky men suddenly came from behind to surround her.“Miss Robbins, Young Master Jewell would like you to meet him,” One of the burly men, who was 1.9 meters tall, walked up to her and said.“What if I say no?” Eliza asked composedly.“We’ll have no choice but to bring you there by force,” the man warned.“...Okay.”Eliza nodded.The burly man threw a strange look at her. It was rare for a woman to be so calm in the face of such a situation.Those men sent Eliza to the villa on Sherman Mountain.Ever since Chester was discharged from the hospital, he had been recuperating in his own villa.Eliza had been to Sherman Mountain numerous times but mainly to visit the Hill family’s manor. It was her first time visiting Chester’s place.Although Ches
Chester’s eyes met Eliza’s.Her eyes were calm, dark, and without a trace of fear.No woman had ever dared to meet Chester’s eyes so fearlessly or even challenge him.As Chester suddenly recalled how Eliza was behaving back then, he narrowed his eyes with mixed feelings. “Eliza, you never used to behave like that. Who gave you the courage to behave like this?”“Of course, it’s because my men have left Australia,” Eliza said frankly without intending to hide the truth.God knew how disgusting it was for her to pretend to be with him earlier.Chester fixed his eyes on her for a long time until he finally saw the light.“I see.”Chester let out a deep, hoarse laugh. “This is unexpected. I can’t believe I’ve underestimated you.”No wonder she was behaving so differently than before. At first, he thought she was playing hard to get, but she exposed her true colors layer.On top of that, it turned out that when he lost interest in her because she was too submissive, it was all just
