“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,
Charity grabbed her leather bag and threw it hard at Manager Green’s face. The fatty flesh on his face trembled from anger. He stretched his hand to hit her. Suddenly, a strong hand reached around him from behind and gripped his wrist. “You have a death wish…” When Manager Green turned his head, the person behind him threw a strong punch in his face. Manager Green had a sturdy physique, standing at six feet tall and weighing 176 to 186 pounds. Even so, he flew three feet away from that punch. “F*ck.”Manager Green cursed and stood up. He glared at the person who punched him with a fierce expression. Which b*stard dared to hit him? He would make that person pay. However, Manager Green immediately grew timid when he saw the muscular and towering man in front of him clearly. Although the young man in front of him was not as large as him, he had a feeling that he was not that guy’s opponent just by looking at his rolled-up sleeves, tightened muscles, and sharp gaze. “F*c
“This case will be submitted to court sooner or later. It still depends on the lawyer by then. Having said that, I have a lot of evidence at hand, so he’ll lose even if he gets a good lawyer,” Charity interrupted Max’s words.Max sighed gloomily. “Fine. I couldn’t help much again.”“Who said so? You saved me just now, didn’t you?” Charity said with a laugh, “Considering Manager Green’s physique, I definitely couldn’t have beaten him.”At the mention of the issue, Max frowned guiltily. “It was because I allowed Steven to take a day off that Manager Green managed to take advantage of the situation.”“This has nothing to do with you…”“No, it’s all my fault.” Max’s gaze was crestfallen.Charity blinked. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through him. “What do you want to do, then?”“Let me compensate you with a set of clothes.” Max’s gaze was no longer crestfallen. “I’ll buy you clothes as an apology.”Charity did a facepalm as she saw it coming. “No need…”“No way. It’s a terribl
“Hah. You can come to the mall and eat with Catherine and the rest but not me?” Max clicked his tongue and asked, “Am I not your friend?”“The thing is, you’re a man.” Charity smiled faintly. “I won’t mind unless you undergo sex reassignment surgery.”Max was speechless for a while before giving her a thumbs-up. “I don’t think you’ve ever treated me as a man.”It was Charity’s turn to be stunned.Max looked as if he wanted to cry but could not. “I think you treat me as your female buddy.”“...”Charity was dumbfounded. All of a sudden, she had no idea what to say.Deep down, she reflected on herself.Had she been treating him that way?“No. I treat you as my male buddy.” Charity picked up the cup in embarrassment, feeling the need to save her friendship that was at stake.“If you’re not good at speaking, eat more fish. I heard fish can make one smarter.” Max took a big piece of fish for her.Charity brutally stepped on his foot under the table.After the meal, Max came out
Charity let out a sigh.She had no idea what she could take of her friendship with Max.“Charity, there’s a women’s clothing store. Let’s go in and take a look. As I said, I want to buy you clothes.” Max pointed to the store ahead.“It’s fine. I’m not desperate for clothes…”“You can take a look at the new collection. No woman would think they have too many clothes.”Max tried to drag Charity along into the store.However, Charity refused, and the two of them were locked in a stalemate.At last, Max got frustrated. His usually beaming and handsome face immediately turned grim. “Charity, you always stand on ceremony with me…”“I’m really not desperate for clothes.” Charity tucked her hair behind her ear. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony with you. I’ve always considered you my family.”Max looked at her. “Since you consider me your family, and it's early now, let’s go and watch a movie.”Charity exchanged glances with him for a while before she finally nodded.Hence, the
Charity frowned. “Chester does know my identity, but we will never get back together.”Max’s dull eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you serious?”“How big of a heart do I need to get back together with Chester?” Charity asked.Max touched his tall nose. “But didn’t you used to love him very much?”“That was in the past. After we broke up, he got together with quite some women, and I’m not a trash can either.”She was not a trash can that collected waste material.The metaphor made Max laugh. “Chester isn’t a trash can, though. Many women dream of marrying him, but he just fools around with them.”Casting aside Chester’s behavior, he was actually charming in many aspects. Firstly, he had a unique identity, and secondly, God gave him a flawless face and model-like physique. Even his medical skills were said to be the most outstanding in Australia.In the face of such a love rival, as someone from a small town, Max felt inferior.However, Charity did not agree with him entirely. “You’re
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
