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
Chester ended the call after speaking. Catherine quickly found Charity’s number and dialed it, but she could not reach her. She hastily looked for Ryan and asked for Max’s number. Then, she requested the number of Charity’s bodyguard from Max. When she finally managed to contact Steven, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Where’s Eliza? I’m her friend. Is she okay?”Steven glanced at the woman sitting in the backseat. “She’s fine. She’s reading some documents. Do you have any business with her?”“Chester told me to tell her that Huxley has escaped. He might bother Eliza. He’s crazy, so you guys should pay attention,” Catherine said anxiously. “Where are you guys now?”“We’re heading to the supermarket.” Steven gazed at the overpass in front of him. “We’re crossing the overpass soon, and we have two bodyguards in the car. There are bodyguards watching the villa too. It should be fine.”“Anyway, you must be careful. Drive slower too. Tell Eliza not to go to the supermarket anymore
At this moment, it was as though the Range Rover had gone crazy. It hit the smaller cars that were blocking it out of its way and emerged, chasing after them like a bull. “F*ck, they must be crazy.” Steven punched the steering wheel. On a usual day, he could show off his driving skills in spacious places. However, he could not do that on the highway. There were many big cars. If things went badly, someone might die.The judge would not let them go after they caused a pile-up just because they were escaping for their lives. Steven was scared, but the people in the car behind him had gone mad. They did not even care about the commoners’ lives. Charity could confirm that the driver of the car behind them was definitely Huxley. The Range Rover quickly caught up with her Audi A8 like a cat chasing after a mouse. “Miss Robbins, what do we do now?” Steven asked in a serious manner. “If he really hits us, our car won’t be able to go up against a Range Rover. It even has a long
The surroundings were chaotic.Some were screaming.Some were helping to save others.Some were going all out to grab hold of the Audi so that it would not fall into the river.Charity faintly remembered that she was the first to be saved.Later, her memory of everything else was hazy.She vaguely heard some voices in her mind.“Isn’t she the A-list celebrity, Eliza?”“Probably.”“It looks like the Land Rover was trying to hunt her down to kill her.”“Hurry up, the one in the sports car seems to be badly injured.”“The psycho in the Land Rover came out again.” “...”After that, everything could not be heard.“Beep, beep…”Charity gradually woke up amid the sound of the defibrillator.She opened her eyes, only to find herself lying in the VIP ward.“Charity, you’re awake.” Max’s handsome face appeared in front of her with a concerned look.“Charity, are you feeling okay?” Catherine hurried over.“Charity, do you remember me? I’m Freya. You didn’t lose your memory and
