Although Doctor Jewell was usually gentlemanly, he was also famous for being cold-blooded in the hospital. There used to be many pretty female doctors who wooed him. However, Chester would simply say heartlessly with a smile on his face, “If you’re presenting yourself to me to have sex with me, I’ll consider it as long as you don’t have a disease and if you’re beautiful and unrestrained enough. Nevertheless, if you want me to like you and take responsibility, that’s… impossible.”In private, everyone said to not fall in love with someone like Chester because he was heartless and would never fall in love with any woman. It was said that the previous hospital director’s daughter had loved Chester to the extent she jumped off a building. Even so, Chester remained indifferent. Over time, people in the hospital no longer dared to have the wishful thinking of winning over Chester’s heart. Some people still liked him, but they only admired him and had a crush on him. The nurse tr
“Are you still my best friend?” Chester gritted his teeth. “The woman you’re talking about can't possibly be Eliza, right?” Shaun said, “I noticed earlier on that you were paying too much attention to her. I’m not saying it’s love, but there must be fondness and admiration. However, the Chester I know is calm and composed. You have a lot of experience with women. Even if you like someone, you can still control yourself and won’t torture yourself to this miserable state.”Chester’s expression was filled with self-deprecation. Shaun was right. If Eliza was just Eliza, he could still back off even if he admired her. Besides, he did intend to give up and distance himself from her initially. However, after finding out that Eliza was Charity, Chester suddenly understood clearly that Charity had always been in his heart.His hatred and contempt for her back then were because of his intense love for her. Nevertheless, he was unable to see the truth then.When he got attracted to E
Shaun drove back to the Hill family’s manor after sending Chester back to the villa. They both lived on the same mountain, so the drive took only six to seven minutes. It was a Saturday. Catherine accompanied and played with the children at home. When she saw Shaun returning, she glanced at him lazily. “You went out at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. Was it because a beauty had asked you out?”Shaun did not say a word. He simply walked over and hugged her tightly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips. “Wow, Mom and Dad are doing embarrassing things.” Suzie, who was playing with wooden blocks at the side, covered her eyes. “What are you doing?” Catherine pushed Shaun away while blushing. She scolded in a low voice, “It’s improper doing this in front of the children.”“I couldn’t resist it.” Shaun embraced her and rested his chin on her forehead. “Cathy, thank you for being able to forgive me back then. If not… I might get drunk in a bar every day and be in a living he
10:00 a.m.Charity received a call from Catherine. “How’s your progress in learning Neeson Corporation’s situation these days?”“I’m almost done understanding everything.” Charity said emotionally, “The core employees of Neeson Corporation from the past have all switched companies. We’ll have to boldly push for a revolution in our business if we want to start developing again.”“I have no clue about sports and exercise, so I didn’t know where to start even though I knew there was a problem with Neeson Corporation.”Catherine smiled and said, “Everyone is a master in their special fields. You have to be the one to do it.”“No. You’ve helped me out a lot. If it weren’t for you getting an experienced manager to help me manage the company, the core ideas would’ve been sold early on.”Catherine paused before diving into the main topic. “I heard from Shaun that Chester drank till midnight, which caused his stomach to bleed last night. It seems he’s been getting drunk these few days. He
After some time, she spoke again. “How does it feel to have a child?”“Let me start from after I divorced Shaun. At that time, the parents who raised me weren’t my biological parents. I didn’t have a mother, and my biological father already had a family and children of his own when I found him. I felt like I was an extra.”Catherine said emotionally, “After being tortured until I was half-dead by Shaun and escaping overseas, I really felt that living was meaningless. During holidays and celebrations, I didn’t even have anyone except Freya to wish me happy holidays until Suzie and Lucas were born. I didn’t like children a lot in the past, but no matter how tough and tiring things get for me, my heart would melt whenever I return home and look at my children while they ask to be spoiled.“It feels like there’s someone finally related to you in the world, and no one can erase that fact. Children are innocent. They’ll treat you like you’re their whole world. Then, you’ll realize that yo
“Besides, even if you want to meddle in these matters, you don’t have the ability to do so.” Chester gave Hunter an indifferent sidelong glance. Hunter’s face flushed red from anger. “No matter how incapable I am, you wouldn’t have been born into this world if it weren’t for me.”“If it weren’t for me, Jewell Corporation would’ve gone bankrupt long ago,” Chester reminded again. Hunter was exasperated. “You unfilial son. Other people have filial sons. Look at yourself. The only thing you haven’t done is not treat me as your father.”“It’s not your first day knowing I’m a scumbag,” Chester spoke lazily, looking utterly reckless. Hunter was speechless. Chester could even brazenly scold himself a scumbag. What else could he say?“Chester, I really don’t know why you’ve become like this,” Hunter said sullenly. “At the very least, you grew up in a family with a strong financial background. You didn’t lack clothes or food. You wore branded items that people envied. When you’re outs
Attorney Larsen kept quiet out of fear, but there were still some things he had to say. “President Jewell, once the 10 percent of shares are given to Eliza, her amount of shares will be almost even with your father’s. With your father’s abilities, he’s definitely not Eliza’s opponent. When the time comes, he might not even be able to maintain his position as the chairman. Once Eliza becomes the chairwoman…”He did not finish his sentence. Eliza was not like the stupid bunch of the Carlson family.She had wide connections and capabilities. Once she became the chairman, she would most likely remove Chester from his position. Attorney Larsen did not know why Chester would be so stupid to present an advantage to Eliza. “I know.”Chester’s eyes were half-closed. “Even if there comes a day when she wants Jewell Corporation, I can give it to her.”“...”Chester was crazy. He had truly gone insane. …A day later, Attorney Larsen rushed to Neeson Corporation after handling the r
What did Chester want?Charity was able to guess it. Maybe Chester wanted her to forgive him and get back together with him again. However, Charity did not want that at all. Putting aside the fact that they had a grudge between them, she was also obsessed with cleanliness. Chester had been with many other women before. She thought he was dirty. At that moment, her phone rang. Max’s refreshing voice came through the phone. “I’m back in Australia. Didn’t you promise to go shopping with me before? When are you going to fulfill your promise?”Charity glanced at the time. After thinking in silence for a few seconds, she said, “Let’s go tonight.”“Okay. I’ll pick you up after I get off work.”“You don’t have to. I can go over myself—”“I’ll pick you up. Let Steven and the others get off work earlier,” Max interrupted her. “You have to give them a day off once in a while.”“...Okay.”Charity put her hand to her forehead. After hanging up the call, her secretary, Layla North,
