“It gets weirder the more I investigate it, so I had people go to the US. Reborn first appeared six years ago. It’s said that she only stayed there for half a year and then magically disappeared. She showed up again on Europe’s stock market two years ago. Her methods were similar to before, but she backed out after earning ten billion dollars. She popped up in a few places around the world in these few years, and her movements are irregular.”Chester squinted his eyes and crossed his arms. “Has anyone seen the real Reborn?”“I think no one has seen Reborn’s face aside from Della’s team.”“By the way, you said this was related to Charity just now?” Chester suddenly asked.“Yes,” Ken said. “I’ve checked Bay Hotel, which is the hotel Reborn stayed in when she first appeared six years ago. I spent a lot of money and found something particularly strange. This is the photo saved in the hotel’s security cameras.” He had spent a lot of money to find out that Reborn had previously stayed in
Some truths were becoming apparent.“No.”However, Chester could not believe it at all. “This is impossible. If Charity was really Reborn, what about Eliza? How can Eliza be explained? She doesn’t know a thing about finance, so who’s helping her behind the scenes? Don’t forget that Charity… is already dead. If she was Reborn, it means that Reborn is gone too. Della and the other people are Wall Street’s elites. They can’t possibly be following Eliza without a reason.”“That’s my biggest doubt too.”Ken continued to flip through the documents below. “But what surprised me more after I kept investigating was that Eliza’s mother has a few estates overseas. It’s worth as much as a few billion dollars. They were all bought two years ago.”“Isn’t her mother an ordinary housewife in the countryside?”Chester had even met Eliza’s father before. He was a gambling addict who led a life of pleasure. He abused his ex-wife and kept exploiting Eliza for the sake of the son he had with another
Ken nodded. “I’m not interested as well, but I have a niece who’s Eliza’s hardcore fan. She has watched all of Eliza’s dramas and movies. She said that although Eliza is pretty, her acting skills were so-so in the past. After that, her acting skills improved by leaps and bounds as if she was reborn.”Chester frowned. “Didn’t Shedrick use to hire teachers to train the artists’ acting skills? Of course, her acting skills would get better.”“Maybe.” Ken scratched his head. He turned around and left. Chester sat quietly for a while. He took the topmost document on Charity and flipped it open. [Charity Neeson graduated from Yale University. She obtained a double degree in finance and economics. She participated in the theater club and band during her studies…]Chester’s gaze locked on the words ‘theater club’. Then, he quickly turned on his laptop and hacked into Yale University’s university forum.After typing the year, Chester found content related to the year Charity graduated.
“Yes. I’m watching the dramas Eliza filmed in the past,” Chester said in a low voice. Shedrick was speechless. F*ck. President Jewell must have been badly tortured by Eliza.“Answer my question.” Chester became annoyed. Shedrick scratched the back of his head. “I remember… No. Before taking on that drama, Eliza broke up with Monte and was hospitalized for some time because she had attempted suicide. When the script for ‘Above the Clouds’ reached my hands, I never considered Eliza because her acting skills couldn’t portray a crazy character that was in a love-hate relationship. It was Eliza who went to the director to fight for it. She acted out a section of the script in front of the director. The director thought she did well, so her role was decided on the spot.”“Does that mean her acting skills suddenly improved after she attempted suicide?” Chester asked in a stern voice. It might have been Shedrick’s wrong impression. He kept feeling that Chester was quite agitated.
“Is there more? Were there any other abnormalities like her preference for food?”Chester felt his heart trembling violently. It trembled to the extent he could not breathe normally. He had never been this way throughout his entire life. Hailey started getting confused because of Chester’s words. However, she still recalled her memories seriously. “Eliza used to like to eat sweet stuff a lot, desserts like chocolate cake, milk pudding, and more. I was afraid she would get fat, so I usually had someone keep an eye on her to make her eat less of those. After regaining consciousness, she didn’t really like eating sweet stuff anymore. I had specially bought them for her before, but she didn’t even touch them. She seemed to like spicy food more.”“Spicy food?”“Yes. She didn’t like to eat spicy food in the past. After waking up, she often asked her assistant to buy spicy hot dogs for her during every filming. Also, she used to like Spanish cuisine, but she preferred Italian, French
The morning sunlight shone on Chester’s handsome face. He looked dejected and anxious. There were also dark shadows beneath his eyes. Shaun thought he was seeing things. He immediately stepped on the brake and rubbed his eyes. Only then did he realize that he was not mistaken. “You… Why are you standing at the gates of our manor instead of sleeping?” Shaun walked over and eyed Chester puzzledly. He had known Chester for more than ten years. He had never seen him in this state. Chester had always been elegant and refined. He was tidy down to every strand of his hair. “...Eliza… was at your manor last night, right?” Chester’s bloodshot eyes behind his glasses looked toward Shaun with complicated feelings. “I want to meet her.”“No. When you drank with me the day before yesterday, you said you've let go and won’t bother her anymore.” Shaun felt like his head was about to explode. “I even vouched for you and said you’re a man of your word, not someone who would endlessly pes
“I’m not harassing Miss Robbins but Miss Neeson…”Chester walked up to Charity step by step. He fixed his dark gaze on her as if he wanted to engrave her appearance on his heart. It was as though they were very far apart.It was as though they were separated by life and death.Steven was puzzled.Charity was dazed. A trace of deep confusion flashed across her eyes.“Chester, what are you trying to do? Didn’t I make it clear to you that night?”“I’m not clear about things. You’ve concealed a lot of things from me.”Chester’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions. “Earlier, I had someone look into Reborn’s identity. Then, I found out many unbelievable things. I think we should find a place and sit down to talk about your real identity.”Charity stared at Chester for quite a while without blinking.The man’s gaze could make her scalp turn numb.“Fine. Let’s go to my office and talk about it.”“Miss Robbins…” A worried look washed over Steven’s face.“It’s fine. Since th
“I had someone check the address of the hotel Reborn stayed in that year. Coincidentally, Charity appeared in that hotel too.”A mix of emotions then revealed in Chester’s gaze, and it even carried a sense of uneasiness. “However, Charity is already dead. So, who’s the Reborn now?”“Are you trying to say that I’m impersonating Reborn? This is merely your speculation, and you don’t have any credible evidence.” After hearing that, Charity secretly sighed. Her appearance in the States back then and her overseas qualifications were not confidential, so anyone could easily find out.“By piecing many coincidences together, my speculation will slowly point to the truth.” Chester, on the other hand, did not agree with her.He subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette because his heart was racing madly at that point.However, only when he took out the cigarette pack did he realize it was empty.“Don’t smoke in my office. I don’t like it to be filled with the smell of smoke,” Charity s
