Chester did not speak. He simply stared at Charity with an affectionate and melancholic yet frustrated gaze. Charity immediately felt uncomfortable. “I’m leaving.”“Thank you for your hard work today. See Miss Robbins off, Ken,” Chester said hastily. “No need. I know the way out.” Charity took her bag and scurried away. As Chester watched her leave from behind, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. Ken said, “President Jewell, you can use work as an excuse to ask Miss Robbins to come over.”“You have a point there.” Chester was stunned for two seconds. Then, he praised Ken. “My head injury has really made me stupid.” Ken thought to himself, ‘You didn’t look like you were stupid when you were pretending to be weak and fragile.’“You shall go to the board of directors meeting at Jewell Corporation tomorrow to protect her,” Chester told Ken, “If she supports Finn, I’m afraid my dad will act out of control. Tell my dad directly that this is my stance.”“But this will c
During the board of directors meeting in the morning, the directors appeared one after another. They were all men and women older than Charity. However, no one dared to underestimate Charity when everyone gathered. What a joke. Who would dare to be careless with a countryside girl who had climbed to such a position? Director Carlson went up to her immediately. “Lizzie, did you eat the pumpkin soup I sent you when you were in the hospital? It’s especially suitable for girls because it’s great for beauty and wound healing.”“Thank you, Uncle Jeremy.” Charity smiled. She did not sound very enthusiastic, and it even sounded a little cold. When Hunter, who entered afterward, saw Charity and Director Carlson so friendly with each other, his face darkened. He scolded, “Some people must’ve lost their conscience. Someone almost lost his life to save her, yet she’s so ungrateful to him.”“That’s right. Don’t be too heartless, Eliza.” A director close to Hunter warned, “If it weren’t fo
A director standing beside Hunter said, “Director Carlson, what a wonderful thought you expressed. Why don’t you calculate how much money we’ve previously spent on the investment in the medical courses in different schools? Now, you’re even planning on building a medical school. Do you think it can be settled with merely two billion dollars? Not to mention the training of a professional team, how about you try and calculate the yearly bonus we can get?”To many directors, the bonus was the apple of their eyes.Director Carlson laughed. “When President Jewell was here, that was what he considered too. He believed it was necessary to build a medical school. Think about it. Are we desperate for money? What we’re desperate for is fame. After hundreds of years, we’ll be gone, but the medical school we’ve established will continue to stand firm in Australia. Our company will be able to make a breakthrough in the medical field and contribute to humankind.”Hunter reacted as though he had h
In the meeting room, it was pin-drop silence.Charity remained seated quietly and elegantly.Only after she swallowed the coffee did she hear Director Carlson say, “Chairman Jewell, we’re now voting for the position of the chairman. We’re talking business, so you shouldn’t make personal attacks. More importantly, you shouldn’t use Chester’s kindness of saving Ms. Robbins to morally kidnap her.”“Jeremy Carlson, this b*tch is siding with you, so you'll definitely stand up for her. I shall see for myself what you guys can do. But let me remind you that since you plan on spending so much money on it, your family can get the hell out of the board of directors if you can’t perform.”With that, Hunter slammed the door and left in a fury.Given that Director Carlson was provoked in public, his expression was ghastly.However, someone mediated the dispute right away.Next was the election of the deputy chairperson position.Director Carlson personally elected Charity as the deputy chai
Just as Charity walked out of the office to the elevator, two sturdy bodyguards stood in her way.“Chairman Jewell has told us to escort you to his office for a talk.”One of the bodyguards clutched Charity rudely on the shoulder.“Hayden, you’d better be polite to Miss Robbins.” Ken strode toward the sturdy bodyguard, who was nearly two meters tall, and the bodyguard instantly became timid.“Ken, this is Chairman Jewell’s instruction.” Being put in a difficult position, Hayden Liddell said, “If it hadn’t been for her, Chairman Jewell wouldn’t have lost the chairperson position. Chairman Jewell is currently mad. Please don’t make things difficult for me, alright? Don’t forget that the Jewell family is paying you and that you’re working for them.”“Excuse me. Young Master Jewell is the one paying me, and he won’t allow anyone to hurt her,” Ken said with a helpless sigh. However, Hayden did not share the same sentiment. “A wise man submits to circumstances. With the sorry state Yo
“You would lose even without her.”Chester brutally told the truth. “Your plan was wonderfully thought out, but you neglected the true significance of a hospital. All you see are benefits. I’ve long since told you that you need to look in the long term–”“Shut up.”Hunter was so angry that his temples bulged.Back then, all he heard was people telling him, “Hunter, you’re blessed with such a brilliant child.”“Hunter, I admire you. Although you’re not very competent, your son is.”Then, there was the indifferent look his son always gave him as though he was useless trash.“Chester, I’m your dad. Also, look at your current state. You can’t even sit up, much less walk. What do you know? What gives you the right to criticize me?”After Hunter told Chester off, a thought flashed across his mind. All of a sudden, he pointed at Chester and snorted. “I got it. You told Ken to protect that b*tch because you knew, huh? Not only did you not stop them, but you even sided with outsiders.”
Shaun was shocked. He never thought things would escalate that far. All he did was go to the company in the morning. “Where were you this morning?” Shaun pulled Ken over, who was stunned. Ken clenched his fists, with regret written all across his face. “Young Master Jewell told me to accompany Miss Robbins to the meeting in Jewell Corporation. He was afraid Chairman Jewell would make things difficult for her at the company.”“Are you silly? He could’ve informed me if he wanted to protect Eliza. I could send people over.” Shaun was exasperated. “You’re his right-hand man and the only one left that he can trust. You should be by his side at all times.”“I’m sorry…” Ken stammered, “I didn’t think Chairman Jewell would do such a thing. No matter what… Young Master Jewell is his son.”“How can he be considered a father?” Shaun gritted his teeth. “Call the police and sue him for attempted murder. My last name isn’t Hill if I don’t lock him up to teach him a lesson.”“We can’t,” K
What replied Catherine was silence, so she asked again, “Are you going?”“Mm? I will.” Charity returned to her senses and said, “I’ll go with you.”“Okay.”After Catherine finished her meal, she drove to pick Charity up. It was nighttime when Charity stood at her neighborhood’s entrance wearing a coffee-colored coat. She seemed like she was deep in thought, with her hand dancing in the night breeze. Catherine drove the car up to Charity and honked. However, Charity was in a daze and did not seem to hear it. “Let’s go, Charity.” Catherine had to stretch her head out and called out to her. Charity snapped back to her senses, got in the car, and looked backward. There were clothes and toiletries in the backseat. “I’m guessing Shaun will be staying at the hospital tonight, so I brought some stuff for him,” Catherine explained. Charity lowered her gaze. “Logically speaking, I’m supposed to be accompanying Chester. After all, he saved my life.”“You only got discharged recent
