“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
“Seemingly, you’re going to use my video.” Chester’s tone was relaxed and happy again.Charity choked. After some time, she said reluctantly, “I didn’t want to use it at first. After all, I don’t want to be involved with you anymore. However, having said that, the poor girl was innocent. I have no choice but to support your act of upholding justice.”“Thank you very much.” Chester curled his lips without her realizing it.His secretary wanted to enter the room to take her phone. When she secretly hid behind the door and caught sight of Chester’s expression, she was nearly blinded. His smile was very sweet. Could her boss be possessed?“You’re welcome.” Charity ended the call.Chester stared at his phone, feeling attached to it. Then, he waved at his secretary. “Here’s your phone.”“Thank you, boss.” His secretary cautiously lifted her phone.“Another scandal related to Janee Hotel will break this afternoon. Later, get some people who side with Ferra to add fuel to the fire and
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
