Max felt afraid and fearful upon hearing Eliza’s empty and lost voice. “There are still many things in life. Did you forget about Mrs. Robbins? Since you’re now Eliza, you should take care of her family. The closest people to you may be gone, but you can get married and have children. Your husband and children will be your family.”Of course, if Eliza was willing, he could be her partner anytime. However, Max was afraid that it would scare her and she would distance herself from him. “Others have said the same, but… My heart's already numb. I don’t know how to love someone anymore.” Eliza shook her head. “I’ve even lost the ability to love someone.”“...”Max’s heart throbbed. How much pain did a person have to go through to end up like that?“It’s okay, Charity.”Max strode over and patted her head. The outline of his features was sharp, but it looked tender at that moment. “Take it slow. There’s no need to rush. Maybe you loved too hard in your past life that you don’t k
7:00 p.m.A doctor was bent over and bandaging Chester’s wound nervously. He did not even dare to let out a breath. He swore that he had never seen Chester’s expression so awful before after working with him for so long. Chester was known to be amicable in his workplace, the hospital. “President Jewell, the treatment for your wound… is… is done.” The doctor reminded him nervously, “But you must take care and rest. Or else—”“I’m a doctor too. I know this better than anyone else.”Chester interrupted the doctor coldly. He was also aware that Eliza had stepped on him with full force. She actually hated and despised him that much. Chester, who had always been haughty, had never been humiliated so badly by others.Up until this moment, Chester was in disbelief that Eliza said she had to consume drugs whenever he touched her. She had utterly trampled on his pride as a man. What made Chester even more furious was that Eliza had been deliberate in the attitude she showed
When Chester silently got into the car, he suddenly remembered Eliza’s words. She said that Charity was not even as important as Sarah in his heart. “Attorney Larsen…” Chester’s hand rested on the car door. He asked all of a sudden, “Were there many loopholes for Charity’s case back then?”Attorney Larsen was stunned. After quite some time, he said, “It was you, President Jewell, who said we had to win the case. You told me to get lost if we didn’t win.”“...”Ha, did he?It turned out that Chester had said those kinds of words before. He got in the car and slammed the door without saying a word. Ken shook his head angrily at Attorney Larsen. Attorney Larsen was puzzled. Did he do something wrong? He was just doing what he was paid to do. In the car, Chester ordered the driver, “Go to the bar.”“President Jewell, you’re injured. You can’t drink alcohol.” Ken was put in a difficult spot. Chester glared at Ken so coldly that Ken did not dare to say another word. Ches
[To hell with this. Chester is really haughty. Does he think he commands the whole of Australia and he can ban anyone he wants to?][There’s no choice. Who doesn’t fall sick nowadays? Everyone’s scared.][If Chester is that great, why doesn’t he just become the prime minister?][Jewell Corporation is utterly arrogant. The medicine they sell is pricier than other pharmacies. Getting outpatient care is getting more expensive each year.][That’s true. I caught a cold last time and went to the hospital. It cost me over a thousand dollars. Haha.]“...”Chester’s expression worsened as he read on. He never thought there would be fearless people who dared to release his news. What made him more flustered was that the netizens linked issues of his personal life to Jewell Corporation. If the situation was left to escalate…“Where’s Shedrick? Ask him to come over right now.” Chester gritted his teeth. “President Daley is on his way here. Why don’t you… have some breakfast first?”
“If that person can keep fuelling money to Ferra Film Group to plan a scheme, Felix Media… might have to withdraw sooner or later.” Shedrick revealed his thoughts. “You’re not aware, but people from Ferra Film Group have been offering high prices to recruit a few of our top artists recently. They’re even willing to pay the penalty fee. Edward Sloan of our company has already requested the termination of his contract.”Chester’s expression hardened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”“You were injured. I didn’t want to affect your mood.” Shedrick smiled bitterly. “The company hasn’t been doing well lately. Many directors aren’t considering our company’s actors. Our celebrities don’t have movies to film. It’s also difficult to get advertisement offers. In addition, Eliza isn’t filming anymore. Now that Edward is leaving too…”“It looks like the other party came prepared. They likely have other plans.”Chester knew that his plans to dominate the entertainment industry would probably fail. Wh
“You can refrain from participating in the plans against Jewell Corporation.”Eliza suddenly glanced at Levi indifferently. “You aim to bring down Felix Media. Chester most likely doesn’t have the effort to dominate the entertainment industry now.”“That’s just temporary peace.”Levi smiled bitterly. “How can I possibly have the chance to back down after joining hands with you? Chester is a person who seeks revenge, even for the smallest matter. His failure this time might be the biggest humiliation of his life. Will he let me off easily? After Jewell Corporation stabilizes, he’ll still make me pay. Instead of that, I’d rather attack him with you. When he loses an arm, he won’t be able to bother me.”Eliza raised her eyebrows. A hint of astonishment flashed across her calm eyes. She did not expect Levi to be pretty clever to have predicted that point. No wonder he could go head to head with Felix Media for so long in the entertainment industry without any substantial investment
“I think… It’s Eliza.”Chester flicked off some cigarette ash and laughed sarcastically. If it were before, he might not have been suspicious. However, the words Eliza spoke at his villa the last time were filled with hatred toward him.Moreover, Eliza was planning to leave the entertainment industry. She did not care about having a way out at all. “Eliza?” Shedrick was shocked. “Why would she do this? The company single-handedly made her famous.”“Because she despises me.”Eliza despised Chester for using despicable methods to force her to obey him. He even violated and humiliated her on the bed. Suddenly, Chester had a profound realization that he had severely underestimated Eliza before. Actually, it was Eliza who was too good at hiding things. She clearly hated his humiliation so much, yet she could tolerate being beneath him and lurk around. Ha, Chester had never seen such a woman. Shedrick opened his mouth. “Then I’ll go contact Eliza—”“President Jewell, t
Eliza chuckled. “I’ve been collecting scandals of the company’s artists ever since you forced me to have sex with you. Luckily, I was part of the company’s internal personnel, so it was pretty easy to get these materials. While everybody wasn’t paying attention, I could easily hide in the bathroom to eavesdrop or check other people’s phones. I learned from you to wait for the right opportunity to seek revenge.”“Fine. You’ve indeed taught me a lesson.” Chester’s eyes were clouded with darkness. “However, do you think you can make me suffer heavy losses with just these things? You’re naive. I don’t care about those people’s life or death at all.”“You don’t care about them, but you’ve put in quite a lot of money into Felix Media, right?”After pausing, Eliza suddenly said playfully, “Moreover, I wasn’t aiming to make you suffer heavy losses. I just want to let everybody see how deep your feelings for Cindy are. You spent so much money on her. You can’t possibly let her be a secret lo
