“I have to follow the prime minister overseas tomorrow. I need to go back and make preparations beforehand.”Max spoke frustratedly. “Didn’t you say you’re on leave tomorrow?” Charity’s eyes gleamed. “That’s right. There were last-minute changes.” Max’s gaze was strange. “I even asked you to go shopping for clothes with me. It seems like it can’t be done.”“Let’s wait until you return.”After seeing Max off, Charity received Chester's message very soon. [If you have Max’s best interests at heart, keep a distance from him.]As expected…Charity had a vague feeling that the matter was related to Chester. She did not expect it…However, it was normal. After all, the Jewell family had been established in Canberra for tens of years. If it were not for her making the previous issue a big deal in public, Chester would surely have had a way to escape being sentenced to jail. …The next day. Charity was awakened by Catherine’s call. “I wanted to call you right after returning
“What are you thinking? You didn’t wrong me in any way. It’s the opposite. You’ve helped me a lot,” Charity said in a serious tone. “It’s fine, Charity. No matter how some things are explained, it’s a fact that besides Chester, Shaun was also involved in you going to prison back then,” Catherine said honestly. “When you were sentenced, I truly couldn’t forgive Shaun. It was because of Chester’s, Rodney’s, and his stupidity that hurt you. However, I still forgave him a few years after you passed away. This matter has always been a thorn in my heart.“Shaun caused Logan to lose a finger in the past. Ultimately, Shaun cut off his finger to compensate Logan. But what about your life? No one can pay that back even if your wrong accusations are cleared and you continue living in Eliza’s body. After all, who doesn’t want to use their own body?“I’m thankful toward Eliza. If it were not for her giving up her life, you might’ve already died. Since Monte hurt her in the past, it’ll make my h
“I’ll go with you. There has to be a lawyer present during a transfer of company ownership.” Shaun followed after Catherine worriedly. Although his wife was clever, there were too many loopholes in the law. He was afraid she would be at a disadvantage. “I really don’t need you to follow me. I’m transferring it to someone I know…”“It’s easier to be deceived by an acquaintance.” Shaun insisted. Catherine turned her head and rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. “You can go do your own stuff.”“Wifey, I think you’re being… secretive.” Shaun was sharp and realized something was off. He suddenly became bitter. “You’re not transferring it to someone I can’t meet, right? For example, a handsome younger man.”Catherine’s face darkened. “Are you silly?”“I heard you guys were having fun in the clubhouse with a young master from Newcastle.” Jealousy filled Shaun’s gaze. “You had a great time and never thought about how lonely I was at home.”“That’s because I met a few of Eliza’s frie
After Attorney Larsen left, Chester quickly called Shaun. “Did Catherine sell Neeson Corporation to Eliza?”“Huh?” Shaun was astonished. “So she’s selling it to Eliza.”“Catherine didn’t tell you about such an important matter?” Chester said bluntly, “Shaun, your status in the family is unacceptable.”“Now you know that I’m the lowest hierarchy.” Shaun sighed. “Why did she sell it to Eliza?” Chester was curious. “Maybe because Eliza and Charity were best friends. Cathy is usually busy. She has a few companies in her hands and can’t manage them all. Selling it is a good option.” Shaun made a guess. However, he felt depressed. Why did Catherine not tell him the truth in the morning? He would not say anything if he knew she was selling it to Eliza. Chester was deep in thought. As he was thinking, someone knocked on his office door. “Let’s talk next time.” Chester put down the phone and raised his head. Cindy entered in a white dress while carrying a food container. “Chester
“Since we don’t have to be so clear on money...” Chester flicked off some ashes on the ashtray and faked a smile. “That’s all the more reason you shouldn’t ask me for money. Look, I treat you as a friend. Seeing that we’re friends, you donating blood to my mom who’s sick is no big deal, right?”“...”Cindy suddenly had no words. She only found her voice after some time. “Donating blood isn’t a small matter. Moreover, my blood type is rare. If an emergency occurs, it’ll cost a life. The doctor also said it’s safest to have a six-month gap between the first blood donation and the second.”“So?”Chester cocked his head slightly. “You want the safest way to donate blood. You also want me to treat you well and give you money. Cindy, are you a cow or a whale? Do you have four stomachs? You’re so greedy.”“You misunderstood me. I just want to start my own business,” Cindy said hastily. “Why don’t you ask me how much money I’ve spent on you?” Chester said, “It must’ve been at least hu
Chester sneered. Who was not scared of death?However, Cindy’s actions were truly repulsive. After working overtime into the night, Chester drove his car. Without knowing it, he arrived at Neeson Corporation. The lights in the president’s office were still on. He stared at it for two seconds. Then, he opened the car door and got down. It was his first time at Neeson Corporation. When he entered, the security at the entrance blocked him. “It’s past office hours. Do you have any business?”“I’m the boyfriend of your new boss. She hasn’t gotten off work yet, so I came to pick her up.” Chester threw a pack of cigarettes over to him. The cigarettes, worth a few hundred dollars, made the security, who was a heavy smoker, smile like a flower. “I see. Please, come on in. The security studied Chester’s looks as he spoke. Chester’s suit looked expensive at a glance, and the watch on his wrist could not be bought without a few million dollars. Besides, celebrities on TV could no
Charity lowered her gaze and gave it some thought. Suddenly, she took out a small card from her pocket and inserted it into the pocket of Chester’s suit jacket. Chester followed her gaze and looked downward. He took out a… card with a women’s bikini printed on it. “Look at it properly. They offer all types of beautiful girls and services. The prices are low, and there are even promotions.” Charity’s tone was lazy. “You don’t have to thank me.”Chester held the card between his fingers and looked at it seriously. He laughed out of anger. “Do you, a woman, bring this thing around on you?”“Someone put it on my car,” Charity said calmly. “I just don’t want to litter the floor. I didn’t think it would be useful.”“Do you think… I’ll fancy these things?” Chester ripped the small card. He bent his waist and looked right at her. He squinted his eyes. “Can’t you understand from my words that I just want you? Other women aren’t good enough.”“Stop.” Charity’s body leaned backward to sta
A look of shock briefly flashed across Charity’s eyes. She probably did not expect Chester to throw such a question at her.“Were you also like this when you’re with Monte?” When Chester noticed that she was quiet, his gaze turned sharp. “Should I go and ask Monte?”“You’re insane.” Charity could not help but tell him off.“Let me ask Max, then.” Chester suddenly asked, “Have you been to bed with him before?”“It’s none of your business.” Charity glowered at him.“Eliza, you need to get your illness treated.” Chester said with a laugh, “The longer you drag it out, the poorer your health will be especially if you have an illness in this area.”“I don’t have an illness. I’m perfectly fine.” Charity withdrew her hand in annoyance. She could not be bothered about him. She took her laptop and walked out.She turned around, only to realize that Chester was continuing to stay in her office.“If you don’t leave, I’m going to lock the door.” Charity took out her key.“Lock it, then.
