Hearing what Chester thought were words of repentance, Charity wanted to laugh. Was her goal just to make him eat his words?Did he really think his feelings were important to her?Chester did not understand at all. She was not just carrying the weight of Eliza’s body being coerced. There was her share as well. “Do you think that I hate you just because of the incident where you forced me to obey you?” Charity asked. Chester gave it some thought. “Is it also because I revealed you and Monte’s relationship to use you as a shield for Cindy and the company in order to divert the netizens’ attention?”Charity chuckled. She waved her hand to call the waiter. “Give me a serving of roasted rack of lamb, smoked octopus, and seared foie gras.”“Okay.” The waiter memorized it quickly. He asked Chester, “President Jewell, what would you like?”“Help me make an order.” Chester glanced at Charity. She stared at him in silence for a few seconds. Then, she smiled vaguely and said, “Give
Charity stared at Chester with deep hatred. “You’re a murderer. You never even felt a sliver of guilt before. I said that I was Charity’s childhood friend. However, how did you treat her friend? You’re a pervert and a cold-blooded animal. You’re destined to be lonely forever. No one will like you, not even your family. That’s because they think you’re terrifying. Nevertheless, you can benefit them.“You have many women by your side, but everyone is simply targeting your money. They just want to obtain advantages from you. You seem to have many friends, but each person is just taking what they need from you. Did you see Rodney’s friends contacting him when he fell into a miserable state?“Shaun might be your only sincere friend, but he has his children and family. His wife despises you, which determines that your friendship can never be the same as before. Otherwise, why didn’t he offer to help you when you went to jail…”Bang. Chester slapped his hands on the table and stood up ab
“Isn’t it pretty good? Charity said calmly. “You hate me and are desperate to kill me, yet you can’t do anything to me. You have to give me bonuses from the money you earn yearly. How good is that? I can even criticize you openly in the company if you do badly and accuse you of not letting us shareholders gain profit.”Chester laughed out of anger. It seemed like he had lost in that round as well. He used to think that being Jewell Corporation’s president was pretty satisfying. Now listening to the way Charity talked about it, he felt like an employee. He was indeed earning a huge sum of money, but he was racking his brain and working every day. On the other hand, Charity did not need to do a thing. She could get money just by sitting at home. That made Chester slightly jealous. However, he would not be willing to hand over the power he had. At that moment, the waiter served the food. Charity held a knife and fork and started cutting the lamb rack. She ate quickly but no
Chester spoke thoughtfully. Ken said puzzledly, “I don’t know where Eliza found that kind of people and the group of people who kidnapped Sarah previously. They don’t seem ordinary.”Chester thought of something. “Investigate Reborn. I need to know all the information about that person. Check her background and the first time she appeared. Investigate if anyone has taken photos of her true face overseas.”“I heard that she’s very secretive. She had on a mask and sunglasses the few times she appeared…”“Even the most careful can still make mistakes. As long as we’re willing to spend money and time, I don’t think we’ll be unable to find something.” Chester’s gaze darkened. Ken said, “You suspect that she’s not the real Reborn. Actually, I find it unbelievable too. Her background and Reborn’s are completely unrelated.”“That’s right. I think so too. Make a copy of Eliza’s information throughout these few years, including the films and dramas she took part in. Instead of her not be
“Your intuition isn’t wrong. We did know each other in our past lives.”Charity’s faint sigh rang. Even the smart Catherine was slightly stunned. At that moment, thousands of weird thoughts flashed across her head. She blurted out, “You can’t possibly have your previous life's memories with you, right?”After she spoke, she suddenly thought she might have become stupid. “I’m done for. I’ve become stupid lately.” Catherine touched her forehead out of speechlessness. “I almost believed you.”“I really have memories from my past life,” Charity said. “...”Catherine felt as if she had entered a supernatural fantasy drama. “Let me treat you and Freya to a meal tonight. There are some things that I’ve never told you guys. It’s time for you to know the truth. By the way, please don’t tell anybody else.” Charity heard no voices from the other end of the call. She found it funny. Those two people would be very shocked that night. After hanging up the call, Catherine pinched her
“Didn’t we just meet yesterday morning? We can see each other again after I return at night.” Catherine was not in the mood to deal with Shaun. “Go back and look after the kids.”Shaun said, “You can meet up with Eliza tomorrow too. Besides, you two have been meeting pretty often, right?”“No. We have something important going on.” Catherine hoped that nighttime would come immediately. The call ended with a beep. Shaun’s heart was twitching from jealousy. Eliza could not get a boyfriend, so she kept inviting his wife out. Ah, if he had any suitable guy friends, he had to introduce them to Eliza. Upon thinking of that, Shaun gave Ryan a call. “That friend of yours… Is Max having any progress with Eliza?”“Is your wife ignoring you tonight as well?” Ryan, who Freya had just rejected, was sulky. Shaun was stunned. He understood immediately. “Freya isn’t accompanying you tonight either?”“...”Shaun laughed. He strangely felt more at ease. At least he was not the only lonely
Seeing Catherine’s and Freya’s excited expressions, Charity simply took a sip of coffee. “Freya, in my past life’s memories, your boyfriend was still a sc*mbag. You married Rodney and divorced him. As for Cathy, you were still with Shaun. You two divorced because of Sarah’s interference too. The bad things that happened were still equally miserable.”Freya was disappointed. “Ah, is that so? Were our past lives the same as this life?”Catherine gave Charity a sidelong glance. “Eliza, are you lying to us? Is this talk about your previous life fake?”“I’m not lying to you guys. You’re the ones who are thinking about it the wrong way.”Charity laughed bitterly and put down her cup. She had a serious expression. “Actually… I’m Charity. I’m Charity Neeson.”“...”The private room was utterly silent for a while. Freya suddenly shuddered. “I feel so cold all of a sudden. Is the air conditioner on?”She trembled and scooted toward Catherine’s side. Although Charity was her friend, th
Freya and Catherine were both embarrassed.At that time, the two of them could not fend for themselves.Even if Charity had shown up, they would not have been able to help her. Charity said, “So all I could do was bear with it. I waited and took revenge using my own means.”Catherine sighed softly. “The means that you had taken revenge against Sarah and kidnapped her with the intention of torturing her to death.”Charity dropped her eyes. “As Sarah killed people using hypnosis, I had difficulty searching for evidence. Moreover, Rodney and Shaun kept speaking up for her at that time, so I had no other alternatives. I didn’t mind dying with her. If Freya hadn’t stopped me then, I wouldn’t be here telling you the truth.”“I see.” Freya saw the light. “When I found you that day, I was astounded by your gaze. It was so full of hatred for Sarah. You claimed to be Charity’s childhood friend, but we were also her friends. Honestly… we wouldn’t have been able to go as far as you. It turn
