“...”Charity’s throat moved. The phrase ‘get lost’ almost escaped her mouth.Did he think she did not want to wash her hair? The place was so remote that using water was so inconvenient.“I’ll boil some water for you and let you experience my hair washing skills later,” Max suddenly said with excitement.“Don’t–”Before Charity could finish her sentence, Max had left.Half an hour later, Max walked in with a bowl of boiled water, in which he poured some cold water to make warm water.“Come. I used to wash my mother’s hair quite often back then.” Max rolled up his sleeves.Charity’s thin lips twitched as she noticed his excitement. Moreover, since she was feeling dizzy, she might feel better after a hair wash.However, she regretted it right after she laid down. “Can you be gentler? My head isn’t your prey.”“In that case, I’ll treat your head like a gun. I always take good care of my gun.” At that thought, Max really did reduce his strength. “...”Charity was at a loss fo
When Max saw Charity’s expression change, he quickly said, “What sister-in-law? She’s my sister, you know? My boss, my master.”Charity was speechless.“Alright, Max. Go and do your work.” Steven was not inexperienced in relationships, so he knew that his brother, Max, was most probably still in the courting phase.“Get lost.” Charity nearly kicked Max. “Okay. I’ll get lost immediately.” Max smiled as he turned around and got in the jeep. Charity stood at the side of the mountain road and watched as the car left a trail of dust and smoke along the S-shaped road. Her dark eyes were filled with confusion. When Eliza left in her dreams, she said she was still clinging to something.Clinging to something…It turned out that Eliza had never let go of some things. Upon returning to the rundown manor, Charity received a call from Skyler. “Lizzie, good news. The tourism board wants to have you as an ambassador, and these endorsements are on the national level. The endorsement fe
“Chester will definitely be furious.” Freya found it simply satisfying. “But then again, it all seems a little coincidental. Someone shorted Jewell Corporation’s stocks while problems occurred in the jail, and visits aren’t even allowed. It’s scary now that I think about it.”“This can only mean that… too many people have their eyes on the valuable Jewell Corporation.”Catherine poured some wine for Freya and Eliza after she spoke. “Lizzie, tell us about your life in Drildool. Look at you. You’ve gotten tanner.”The topic quickly changed, and Charity started talking about the interesting things that happened in Drildool.It was past 9:00 p.m. when Shaun gave Catherine a call, and only then did everyone get ready to go home.“Shaun’s car is downstairs.” Catherine stood up. “He brought the children to a nearby theme park today before they came over. Maybe the children are sleepy and tired from all the playing.”“Okay. I’m going in your direction, so I’ll get a ride from you.”Frey
Clothes dropped to the floor one by one. It only stopped after a long time. “How much did you drink tonight? Your mouth smells like wine.” After Shaun was satisfied, he hugged Catherine in his arms. His voice was raspy.“Hmph, I drank fruit wine. Doesn’t it smell good?” Catherine glared at the man with a cat-like lazy gaze. “It smells nice. Every scent on you smells good.” Shaun pecked her cheeks. Then, he said with mixed feelings, “Do you like Eliza that much?”“Yes. You don’t like her?” Catherine’s charming eyes became alarmed in an instant. “Because she went against your friend before?”“I don’t like her, nor do I dislike her. I know Chester was in the wrong. I’m a lawyer. I can differentiate between right and wrong,” Shaun quickly explained. “I just feel that Eliza isn’t that simple. I think I’ve had a lot of experience with people. To be honest, I can’t see through her.”Catherine went silent. She suddenly said, “Actually, I can’t see through her either. However, I can s
“Hunter is just a good-for-nothing. He doesn’t even have 30 percent of Chester’s shrewdness.”The long-haired woman said in disdain, “If Chester hadn’t completed his studies and returned to Australia 10 years ago, Jewell Corporation’s owner would’ve already changed. By the way, Finn Carlson requested to meet you.”“There’s no need for that,” Charity said indifferently. “You just have to relay my message to Finn not to worry. I won’t be his obstacle in Jewell Corporation in the future.”The long-haired woman said puzzledly, “Why don’t you consider working with Finn? You can only have the power to go head to head with Chester after he comes out if you two join hands.”“Chester went to jail this time because he lost after neglecting his opponent. He was caught off guard. Do you think he’ll still be that easy to deal with when he comes out again?”Charity shook her head. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife. “The Carlson family isn’t Chester’s opponent. Look at how the Carlson family has
“The Carlson family is just a pathetic clown. There’s no need to fear them,” Chester said indifferently. “I only need a week to make Finn Carlson get down from his position obediently.”Hunter moved his lips unnaturally. “Did you do any other stupid things?” Chester’s gaze turned piercing instantly. Hunter glared at Chester in frustration. “I’m your father. How can you talk to me this way? Ultimately, these troubles were all caused by you flirting around.”“Ken, you tell me.” Chester was too lazy to listen to his father talk. Ken said in a low voice, “When the company was investigated and penalized by the authorities some time ago, a party took the opportunity and shorted Jewell Corporation’s shares. After they took… 90 billion dollars, Jewell Corporation’s shares were severely impacted.”It was so quiet outside the prison that only the sound of birds could be heard. Chester’s dark pupils constricted. Then, an icy coldness surged out of him. “Dad, I told you to keep an eye
Finn fell to the floor from the punch. His face and mouth were burning in pain. He got furious and shouted, “Is anyone there? Chester is hitting me. Quickly call the police to apprehend him.”He had arranged a few groups of bodyguards at the door.Despite calling for some time, the person who entered was Ken. “President Jewell, the people outside have all been taken out,” Ken said respectfully. “Fine. You even arranged people to deal with me.” Chester grabbed Finn and held him up. Finn started resisting vigorously. However, Finn’s fat figure could not put up a fight against Chester at all. He was down after a few punches. “Stop… Stop hitting.” Finn usually led an extravagant life. He had not been treated this way before. He could not stand it after a short while. “Chester, you’d better restrain yourself. Recently, many departments are already investigating Jewell Corporation. You were the one who caused all of these problems. Many people on the board of directors are dissat
“Conduct an investigation. Investigate it thoroughly.”Chester ordered indifferently. Eliza had given him a profound lesson. He no longer dared to underestimate anyone anymore.Maybe there was a hole that had gone unnoticed on the bottom of his ship. He would not find out about it if he did not pay attention.“Okay.” Ken turned around and was about to leave. “Wait,” Chester called him. “How’s the situation on Eliza’s side?”Ken was taken aback. He said hastily, “She donated the one billion dollars you gave her to poverty-stricken areas. She received many good comments on the internet. Her popularity and fanbase have surpassed A-list actors and actresses. Many tourist boards throughout the country are looking for her to be an ambassador for them, but she rejected all of them. She expressed that she’ll never enter the entertainment industry again.”“What on earth does she want to do?” Chester sat on the leather chair. He had stopped treating her as a plaything to satisfy his des
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
