Charity pressed her lips together. She sometimes felt that Chester was abnormal.“Treat other people better.”Charity suddenly said, “You’re underestimating those women and think that they’re out here to be prostitutes. You look down on them, but everyone has their reasons. You have a prominent status and don’t need to worry about food and necessities. You can have everything you want, so you don’t understand the feelings of people with lower social status. They just want to have better lives.”“You’re actually defending them.” Chester found it unbelievable. Charity sighed. “Some people are rich, while it’s hard for some people even to study. Some people can switch villas daily, but some people with families of four or five have to squeeze in a 500 or 600 square feet house obtained through a loan. They have to raise their children and earn a living simultaneously. Who doesn’t want to love themselves? These women simply want to take a shortcut using their bodies.”Chester agreed w
“Maybe…” Deep down, Chester sighed lightly. “By the way, were you the one who hired the two research team members in the private room tonight?”Charity subconsciously had her guard up as a sign of alertness.“Don’t be on your guard against me. I don’t have the intention to hurt you.” Chester said softly, “If I were you, I won’t allow them to show up in the office for the time being.”Charity looked deep in thought.Chester straightened his body and got the ashes off his pants. “Toby won’t let the matter rest. Of course, I can help you if you ask me to.”“No need.” Charity declined. “Thank you for reminding me.”With that, she turned around and walked away.As Chester watched her figure disappear from sight at the end of the corridor, he felt as though a hand was clenching his heart.He placed the cigarette between his lips again. After smoking, he returned to his own private room.“Young Master Jewell, you left for quite a long time. We thought you weren’t planning to come bac
Chester took out a business card from his pocket. “You can look for my assistant, and he’ll give you 100 thousand dollars. You can choose to study or set up a business using the money. It’s up to you.”With that, he picked up his coat while ignoring the stunned Laura. He rose to his feet and said to everyone, “Director Evans, I’m leaving now.”“Young Master Jewell, that’s it?”Director Evans quickly leaped to his feet. “Is it because these women can’t satisfy you?”“No. They’re good. Don’t make things difficult for them.”Chester waved his hand before turning around and leaving. Director Evans walked up to Laura. “Did you say something that offended President Jewell?”“No…” Laura tightened her hold of the business card in her hand and said in a trembling tone, “President Jewell told me to look for his assistant to get 100 thousand dollars so that I can continue my studies.”Director Evans exchanged glances with everyone for a while. In the end, President Laurent gritted his te
“I just found out about this recently. Actually, he said those things back then because someone was trying to ruin my relationship with him. There was a misunderstanding between us. However, many things have happened after that that I can’t forgive him.”Doctor Dexter asked, “Have you ever loved someone else?”“...No.”Doctor Dexter stopped writing for a moment and said, “In fact, you have a kind of mood disorder, including indifference, anxiety, and fear. This disorder is common, and I’ve cured many types of it. After all, you’ve been deeply hurt in relationships, so you subconsciously shut your emotional awareness out to avoid being hurt. This is an instinctive form of self-protection.”Charity nodded as she could sense it as well.Doctor Dexter looked at her. “Have you ever thought you’ll fall in love with that person again after you get better?”Charity was stunned for a bit. After that, she smiled and shook her head. “That’s impossible. I won’t love him. Although our previou
Over the next two days, Charity took the medicine obediently, and she persisted with jogging every day.Beside the villa was a park, so every night, Charity would jog around the park for one round, which was a distance of three kilometers.Especially the first few days of her starting jogging, Charity felt like she almost died. When she returned, Max was standing at the entrance of the neighborhood with two bags of food in his hands. He looked at her with a smile. “Charity, you need to work harder. You’ve only jogged for three kilometers, and you’re dog-tired.”Charity rolled her eyes at him. Little did she know that her body would be so weak until she started working out.“Let’s go. I’ve bought you some kebab skewers.” Max shook the package in the bag. “My friend recommended it to me. He said the kebab from that restaurant tastes good.”After jogging, Charity happened to be hungry. The minute she heard the word ‘kebab’, her stomach growled.Upon entering the villa, Max opened
As soon as Max heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced at Charity in admiration. “I didn’t know you’d be so clever.”“...”Charity lowered her head and ate the kebab in slight embarrassment.If it had not been for Chester’s reminder at the bar the other day, she might not have done that.At most, she would have arranged for more people to protect Sherman and his mentee.However, substitution was the best solution.A hair slid off her ear and landed on her cheek.With the black-and-white contrast, Max could not help but stretch out his hand to tuck the hair behind her ear.Being touched by the opposite sex, her body suddenly stiffened.She lifted her head, only to meet Max’s black, bright eyes.“I’m worried that you got oil on your hair.” Her gaze made Max’s ears turn hot. Even so, he tried his best to feign indifference while speaking. After that, he looked down, revealing his red ear lobes. Such a look coupled with his handsome face made him look a little cute.Charity looked
Charity took a deep breath.There was no dirt on Janee Hotel in March this year, so it seemed like the Patterson family had removed the video and did not disclose it.If it were exposed online, that matter would be filed and subject to investigation.Who sent that video?Charity glanced at the address on the courier bag, which read ‘Chester Jewell from Jewell Corporation’. “...”She was quite speechless.People would usually keep their identity anonymous when doing such a bad deed. However, it was as if Chester was worried that no one knew that it was his doing.In fact, she could more or less guess it even if Chester had not left his signature.Nevertheless, it would be great if she could pretend she did not know who it was.Now…Charity carefully watched the video once again. At last, he contacted Levi from Ferra Film Group.Levi sighed. “Eliza, you’re getting more extreme. It’s not easy to dig up dirt on the Patterson family. How did you get it?”“I got it through my o
“How could it be?” Chester walked toward the water dispenser while holding the cup. His lips curled up. “I just can’t wait to stand up to women like you.”Charity was dazed for a moment.Chester added, “The girl in the video was just casually walking on the hotel corridor, yet she ended up being dragged to a room. Don’t you find it terrifying? After the incident, there was no news about it. How’s the girl now? What happened after she was dragged into the room? Aren’t you curious or angry?”Charity’s heart sank.As a female, she surely found it terrifying. “Since you were able to get your hands on this video, you should know what happened afterward.”“What happened afterward was that the girl died. The man who dragged her into a room was on drugs. Janee Hotel has suppressed this issue. It forbade such a scandal from being uncovered as it’d bring a huge impact on its business. The girl’s parents have tried to appeal their daughter’s death, but the evidence wasn’t convincing eno
