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
Manager Starr frowned. “After the video was disclosed, I got netizens to fuel the issue, but it didn’t really work. This has provoked outrage, particularly among the females. An apology alone isn’t useful. What’s more, if Eliza has evidence telling everyone that the woman is dead, I’m afraid that the consequences…”Toby said furiously, “Those women are really idle. Well, Ruby Vernon deserves what happened to her. Since she was dressed so beautifully late at night, she deserved to be dragged into the room by Huxley Todd.”Manager Starr curled his lip awkwardly. He did not dare to say a word.Deep down, he was sneering at Toby and Monte.In this era, what was wrong with women going out dressed beautifully?However, Manager Starr currently relied on the Patterson family for his bread and butter. It was not easy to get a job out there. He had long put aside his principles for the sake of money. Monte pursed his thin lips silently. Now, he was rather scared that he would be dragged i
“Didn’t you want me to marry Eliza to get benefits from her?”Monte was slightly wistful.Men enjoyed conquering clever and brilliant women.In the past, he was fed up with Eliza. Nevertheless, ever since Eliza humiliated him, he had been so dissatisfied that he felt the need to win her heart.Toby glared at him. “Of course, I hope so. But do you have the capability and charm to do that?”“I…”“Now, it finally hit me that Eliza is an albatross. If you don’t marry her, you’ll have to do away with her.”Toby’s eyes flashed with cruelty. “This woman isn’t simple. Although I’ve warned her many times, she’s still not afraid and can even counterattack so quickly. Apart from Huxley, I still need to get a helper.”“Who?”“Chester.” Toby snorted. “Considering that Eliza sent Chester to jail, I believe he hates her.”After some thought, Monte said with concern, “Dad, that might be true, but Chester has gotten out of jail for some time and Eliza is still fine.”Toby glowered at him. “I
Madam Jewell’s expression stiffened. “Your dad used to have a good relationship with Toby. We can’t possibly steer clear of them the moment they get into trouble. He came to visit us back when you were in prison too. The Jewell family can’t do that kind of thing.”“You two are so merciful,” Chester mocked. “Look at what he did. You’re a woman too, Mom.”“But Toby wasn’t the one who did this,” Madam Jewell said resignedly. Chester could not be bothered to care about her. He started walking toward the reception room in long strides. “It’s been a while, Chester.” Toby stood up and held out his hand to Chester. Chester did not even look at his hand, not to mention shake his hand. Chester went to a sofa and sat down. “Why are you here, Uncle Toby? The Patterson family is detested by many now. There’s a crowd surrounding the hotel’s entrance, wanting the hotel to provide an explanation, but here you are at my home. Dad, you must be muddled too. You actually dared to open the door f
“Huxley’s making a move?” Chester asked with a frown. “Hasn’t he been apprehended?”Toby smiled. “President Jewell, you may not know this, but Huxley has been on drugs for a few years.”He pointed at his head. “After taking so many drugs, he’s become abnormal. He has a rash temper, is violent, easily angered, and crazy. A person like that won’t care about consequences.”“Were you the one who told him it was Eliza’s doing?” A gleam flashed across Chester’s eyes. “Of course.” Toby was quite smug. He even thought Chester would thank him. Chester changed his position and showed a smile on his handsome face. “Uncle Toby, I need to have a few words with you privately.”Toby’s eyes brightened. Hunter said in dissatisfaction, “What do you have to say that you can’t say in front of me?”“A lot.” Chester stood up rudely and went upstairs. “If you’ll excuse me, Hunter.” Toby followed Chester to the study upstairs with a troubled expression. Chester closed the door lightly and even
Hunter had the urge to strangle his son to death. “Are you okay, Toby?” Hunter quickly helped Toby up. However, he was puzzled upon seeing Toby’s face, which was perfectly fine. “Did my son hit you?”Toby was exasperated. He had been screaming his head off, yet Hunter was still asking him if he got hit. Was it not obvious?“I almost got beaten to death.” Toby raised his clothes while trembling. There were patches of bruises on his body. Those were only external injuries. His internal injuries were probably more severe.Hunter felt embarrassed. Toby was his guest. “You know that my son’s mood is unpredictable. He usually doesn’t respect me either. What did you say to offend him?”Toby recalled Chester’s words and shuddered. “Your son said he loves Eliza.”He was stupid. He should not have come to look for Chester.Who would have thought of it?Even a devil like Chester said he was in love. It was so bizarre. Hunter was stunned. “This… This is impossible. His personality… How
