Chester was at a loss for words.“Keep it up. Work hard and be the pioneer. You might be able to go down in history, and many men will thank you,” Charity said with a sincere expression.Chester laughed in exasperation.If he believed her, not only would the public lash out at him, but the Jewell family’s ancestors would also haunt him from the graves. “Why are you laughing?” Charity blinked her eyes. “Do you not believe me or yourself? You believe you can dominate everything, don’t you? Something is right as long as you think it is. Similarly, something is wrong if you think it is. You think no one can turn against you, so what’s with fooling around with women? To you, they’re sl*ts who have no self-respect, and by fooling around with them, you show them the respect they need and think highly of them. Could it be that… you don’t even know what shame is?”After uttering the last sentence, Charity paused for a moment. The last few words were like a tight slap in Chester’s face, an
After the auction ended, Charity promptly left the venue.That was when a staff member brought a painting over. “Miss Robbins, this is the painting you bade for.”“I think you’ve made a mistake. I didn’t manage to bid for it.” At first glance, Charity could recognize that it was the painting Chester bade for.The staff said, “The bidder's name written here is yours.”“Really?” Charity lifted the painting up from the tray. After turning it around twice, she finally raised her hand and hurled it into the trash can beside the door.The painting formed a beautiful arc in the air before it fell into the trash can perfectly.The staff was dumbfounded for a moment before seeing Charity swing her dress around and left.Not far away, Chester snorted when he witnessed the scene.…At 10:00 p.m.As the main character, Chester arrived late at the clubhouse.Shaun said with a grin, “We’ve been here waiting for you with good food and drinks, and you? As the main character, you couldn’t ha
As someone experienced in relationships, Shaun had a feeling that if Chester insisted on being involved with Eliza’s matter, Chester might one day be in great trouble.…Late at night, Shaun took Chester, who was quite drunk, into the car. Then, he reminded Ken, “Send him back, but drive slowly.”“Thank you, Young Master Hill.” Ken nodded. Only after Shaun left did he turn around to look at Chester, whose face was flushed red from the alcohol. He rarely saw Chester drink so much. It was probably because being in jail for three months was too depressing.“Young Master Jewell, where would you like to head back to?” Ken asked, “The Jewell family’s residence, the villa, or the apartment?”Chester opened his hazy eyes. “Go… Go to Eliza. I have something to… ask her.”Ken was speechless.‘You’re really drunk.’After some thought, Ken sent Chester back to the villa.The next day, Chester was woken up by a call from his assistant. “President Jewell, a few directors came to your offi
Director Carlson said, “Have you heard of Reborn? Reborn seems to be from the financial industry overseas and currently holds ten percent of the shares.”“...”The office turned eerily silent for a while. Chester slowly took a cigarette from the table and lit it. After taking two drags on it, he suddenly let out a deep laugh. “Reborn?”“Yes, Reborn.”Somehow, Director Carlson became a little timid.Those familiar with Chester knew that was a precursor to his anger.The next moment, Chester leaped to his feet and kicked the coffee table furiously. “What a bunch of dumb*sses. Do you know who Reborn is? Reborn was the one who short-sold Jewell Corporation’s shares this time. That person conned Jewell Corporation out of 90 billion dollars and used the money to buy the company’s shares. He or she probably didn’t spend any of their money and got more bang for their buck.”“What? Reborn was the one who short sold Jewell Corporation’s shares?” Several directors looked grim. “What is t
The next day.At 8:55 a.m.In the meeting room in Jewell Corporation, over ten shareholders sat accordingly.Chester and Hunter sat at the front because they held the most shares, occupying 40 percent of the company’s shares, followed by Director Sutton, Director Sharpe, Director Carlson, and his son. The remaining shareholders only held very few shares. It was clear that there was a change in the structure.“Have you heard about the changes in the company’s shareholders?”“Someone wanted to buy my shares, but I didn’t sell mine. However, President Lister and the rest couldn’t resist the temptation. After all, the other party offered a very high price.”“Same here. The company lost over 100 billion dollars when our share prices were fluctuating. I’m afraid too.”“Nobody knows who the new shareholder is either. Considering that he or she holds ten percent of the shares, they can probably become a director.”“That’s for sure. That person’s shares are the same as Director Sutton a
Eliza was an average celebrity, was she not? Chester even forced upon her due to her inferior status.Yet now, she was a shareholder of Jewell Corporation? What a joke.How did she get so much money to buy the shares?Hunter could not help but be the first to ask, “Eliza, this is the general meeting of Jewell Corporation. Did you come to the wrong place?”Charity shot a look at Della.With that, Della tossed the document onto the desk. “No. She’s Reborn. Reborn is her identity in the States, and this is the document regarding the change of shares. If you don’t believe me, read it yourself.”Chester’s secretary walked toward her and took the document to have a look before nodding at Chester.“Eliza, how brilliant of you.” Chester’s dark eyes were fixed on Eliza’s aloof figure. He went from feeling astounded to feeling a mix of emotions. She had surprised him too many times.In the past, he had always thought that he knew Eliza very well.That was until she sent him to jail, and
Stung by Eliza’s criticism, Hunter’s face turned red with anger. Hence, Chester stopped him and asked, “Well then, tell me what good suggestions you have.”“If I put forward my suggestions, what’s the point of you sitting here?” Charity asked sarcastically, “Is it because of your good looks and great figure? Or is it because you have a bunch of people guarding outside so you can force those who refuse to obey to do whatever you want?”With that, all the shareholders’ expressions shifted.Were they aware of the men guarding outside? Of course, they were.Everyone was well aware of Chester’s strong-arm tactics.Over the years, Chester did bring in a lot of profits for them, so they did not mind. However, the shareholders were dissatisfied with the reduction in profits this time. Since they could not bear to provoke Chester and there was no leader, all the rest could do was obey. Charity’s words seemed to reflect everyone’s thoughts.At that moment, everyone in the meeting room wa
Chester looked toward Charity. “Do you think so too?”“Of course.” Charity faked a smile. “I spent so much money purchasing Jewell Corporation’s shares because I want to earn money. Actually, I think everyone’s request isn’t very demanding. If you can’t do it, President Jewell, I suggest you step down. I mean it. I’ll volunteer myself, and I can definitely fulfill everyone’s request.”Director Sutton, Director Carlson, and the others were speechless at her bold statement. Even if Chester stepped down, she, a newcomer, would not have a chance. What did she take them, the older people, for?Hunter said angrily, “You’re an actress. You know nothing about the medical industry. What do you understand? This isn’t the film industry.”“I was just saying. Of course, I know no one will agree.” Charity’s gaze swept across the directors opposite her. “All of you may be thinking, ‘You’re just a newcomer. Even if President Jewell steps down, it should be our turn. Who do you think you are?’”
