“Perhaps something is wrong with me as well. Aren’t all of you desperate for money? In that case, I’ll criticize and insult you. I deal with a lot of stress at work everyday, having to perform surgery and manage such a huge company. Besides giving me more pressure, my parents have been grumbling about me and telling me off. Because of that, I say whatever is on my mind. I don’t hide things. I’m sure all of you have cursed me behind my back, but that’s fine. I don’t care because I’m exhausted and uncomfortable, so nobody should feel happy too.”“...”At that point, Charity had no idea what to say.She had never heard Chester speak so much in her past and current lives.She concluded that Chester’s personality had become extreme probably after he broke up with her.What was more, he was with women from the entertainment industry the most.Truth be told, it was easy to make money in the entertainment industry, but the scene was very messy. Regardless of men or women, many people had
Charity was utterly stunned.She used to think that Chester disliked her.However, she just found out that she and Chester broke up because they misunderstood each other as a result of Sarah’s plot.It seemed like Charity and Chester had been in a vicious cycle for many years.If she had not died, she would regret it and find it a pity. She would even blame it on fate.However, her feelings for Chester had been overwhelmed by hatred for many years.He was the reason Charity was resistant toward relationships and even resented them.What Chester said tonight had finally cleared the air, but that was all.“Eliza, putting aside the issues earlier, I think we’re quite a good match…”Chester’s mesmerizing voice and presence slowly drew closer to her.Nevertheless, as he got closer to her, all he saw was Charity’s indifferent eyes.His body froze, and somehow, he felt frustrated. “At least show me some respect. After all, I’m quite good-looking, and I have a good voice and physiqu
Charity was stunned. However, probably because she did not have a good sleep and had a headache, she rolled her eyes at Chester. “You’re lucky I didn’t make you pay for staying overnight, and now you ask me to prepare breakfast for you? Are you out of your mind?”Then, she stacked the pancakes and placed them on the plate before bringing the food to the dining room with some milk for breakfast.Chester gnashed his teeth. While watching her eat with relish, he was also a little hungry. “Where are your other pancakes? I’ll make one on my own. I’ll pay you, okay?” “It’s in the second row of the freezer.” Charity munched her food and thought for a moment before she responded.Chester promptly took out a pancake and made it. After that, he shamelessly took a bottle of milk from the fridge. “Oh, Lizzie, pass me your contact number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”Charity took out her phone, tapped on it for a while, and showed him a QR code with 23 dollars. “Just scan it.”“...”
“Not only have I been hurt by Monte, but by you too. Anyway, I’ve had my fair share of bad guys. It’s nice to be alone.”Charity took a bite of the pancake and chewed on it.Chester looked at her dejectedly. “I can get you a psychologist.”“What’s the point of getting a psychologist?” Charity mocked, “To have me treated for your enjoyment?”“Well… We can all have fun, right?” Chester asked, “Don’t you want to have a child?”“Why must I have a child? Being pregnant for nine months isn’t easy, and the child can be annoying. Isn’t it better to live my life alone?” With that, Charity suddenly looked down. “What’s more, what’s good about having a child? I’m a public figure. Given that our affair has caused such an uproar, the child will become the topic of discussion. However, the child is innocent.”“If you give birth to my child, no one will discuss it.”“With you?” Charity nearly rolled her eyes. “Am I crazy?”“...”Chester returned to the topic again.He said, “I’ll get you a
“What could be more important than me?” Monte was pleased with Eliza’s reply, but still, he asked sourly. “I’m not telling you.” Charity responded with a quick retort. Upon detecting a hint of forced arrogance in her voice, Monte’s heart melted. He found Eliza too mild-mannered back then, so he was delighted that she now showed her arrogant side. Indeed, a short separation between a couple could refresh a relationship. “Fine, don’t tell me. However, don’t get too close with other men behind my back,” he warned sternly. “I think the man who sent you home that night may be interested in you.” “That was Ryan’s friend.” Charity got in her car while putting on an act for him over the phone. “He was the blind date that Ryan introduced to me a while ago.” Monte was taken aback by that unexpected reply, and he immediately felt upset, “Lizzie, are you doing this on purpose? I’ll admit that you’ve made me jealous, terribly jealous.” Charity was speechless. Coming across that
Only after Monte left did Hugo only dial Catherine’s number. “Miss Jones, the fish has taken the bait.”“That’s good. Thank you, Young Master Jeffs.”“No worries. It’s my honor to be able to work with you.” Hugo did not forget about his father calling him last night, saying that they had successfully achieved a partnership with the Costner family. His father was so ecstatic that he even showered Hugo with praises. Hugo had not been praised like that by his father for a long time. “Don’t say that. The entertainment activities in Neah Bay and Newcastle are similar, so having a partnership will only make our businesses grow bigger,” Catherine said and smiled. “We’ll still be counting on you after this.”“It’s fine. Once Monte starts his operation, I’ll hand you the related information. When that time comes, you guys will be the ones to report it to the police.”“Thank you.”After the call ended, Hugo lit a cigarette in a good mood. He did not expect that coming to Canberra woul
Chester frowned. “She isn’t willing to get a check-up.”“That’s normal. Many women don’t think they have any problems, especially those who have been hurt before. They’ll even think avoiding contact with the opposite sex will bring them lesser harm. Basically, it’s a type of self-defense.”Doctor Levin thought about it and gave Chester a complicated glance. “Ahem. Actually, you should keep a distance from that kind of woman if you meet one.”“...”Doctor Levin took a deep breath and mustered his courage. As an excellent psychiatrist, he thought he was obliged to rescue that lady. “Those women used to be traumatized by men, and they were harmed by them. If they get hurt in relationships again, their condition might deteriorate. They might even become twisted and extreme. If it’s a serious case, they might self-harm or inflict harm on others. Therefore, I think it’s better for you to stay away from that kind of woman for her sake and your own safety.”Chester laughed. “Doctor Levin,
“Did you guys agree?” Chester tightened his grip on the wine glass. “I had to.” Shaun supported his forehead on a hand. There was a helpless and doting smile on his mouth. “If I dare to disagree, Cathy will definitely take the kids and leave the next moment.”“Is her relationship with Eliza that good?” Chester was confused. “It’s that good.” Shaun nodded. “It’s weird. She clearly hasn’t known Eliza for a long time. However, there are plenty of rooms in the Hill family’s manor. Eliza can even stay there for a year or so.”Chester took another sip of wine. Was he that hateful to Eliza?She would rather move to the Hill family’s manor and live under someone else’s roof than return to her villa. “Speaking of which, don’t you feel embarrassed making a scene in other people’s neighborhood?” After letting out a tsk, Shaun said, “Even I can’t do that kind of thing, okay?”“Embarrassment?” Chester patted his handsome face. “That word isn’t in my dictionary.”“...”Shaun was speech
