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
[To the person who commented above, are you human? Do you know why Chester isn’t helping his biological father? It’s because Hunter’s principles are terrible. He just wants to monopolize the medical industry and earn more money using any means necessary. That’s why Chester is against it. He thinks the company should establish a medical school and nurture a professional team to tackle all sorts of rare diseases. This way, our country’s medical industry will be much ahead of other countries.][Wow. It’s a good thing Hunter didn’t take over Jewell Corporation. If he did, we citizens might’ve ended up as his targets of exploitation.][F*ck. Those capitalists are really without conscience. They’re rich, yet they still want to exploit patients.][Hunter is truly incapable. Jewell Corporation almost went bankrupt in his hands, and it was Chester who saved the company from the crisis. I don’t know how Hunter has the audacity to be Jewell Corporation’s chairman.][Haha. In Canberra, everyon
Director Carlson took a sip of tea before asking, “If so, are you acting as Chester’s eyes and ears in Jewell Corporation? Or do you have other intentions?”In the face of his suspicion, Charity looked up and met his gaze without panicking. “Director Carlson, do you know why I chose to support you during the board of directors meeting?”“Wasn’t it because you’re an upright person and thought my plan could benefit more people?” Director Carlson asked in astonishment. Charity laughed. “I initially wanted to give up on my voting rights, but it was Chester who asked me to choose you. Director Carlson, you thought you won because of yourself, but you’re wrong. It was Chester who allowed you to win. If not, even if he’s crippled, he can still give orders from the bed by his own means. I think I wasn’t the only one. There must’ve been many directors who got Chester’s consent to help you.”Director Carlson was shocked. After that, he laughed bitterly, feeling conflicted. “That boy…”“Let
Charity remained quiet until her phone produced a ding. Catherine had sent her an address.“It’s up to you to decide whether to go.”“I’m not planning to go. That’s that.” Charity bit the bullet and said coldly, “Chester and I are even now.”Catherine glanced at Charity’s absent-minded look and shrugged. “Charity, are you still visiting the psychologist?”“I haven’t gone there for some time as I was injured earlier. However, I went there a few days ago and began to take medication again,” Charity replied.“Hopefully, you’ll recover soon.”Charity was stunned.After she recovered emotionally and felt better, what was next?She was slightly confused.When the two of them left the cafe, Charity’s secretary gave her a call. “President Neeson, we have an appointment with Josh today to shoot an advertisement, but he hasn’t shown up yet.”“Is he planning to break the contract?” Charity’s expression shifted.Her secretary forced a laugh and said, “I’ve contacted his assistant. She
Josh’s assistant was a little embarrassed. As much as she wanted to apologize, Josh stopped her. “There’s nothing much to say to such a selfish, cold-blooded, and wicked woman. No matter how good-looking some people are, they’re inherently evil.”After hearing that, Charity said, “Thank you.”Josh pricked up his ear. “What did you say? Thank you?”“Shouldn’t I thank you for calling me good-looking?” Charity smiled slightly.She was beautiful. Her face was as fair as snow, and her body was slender. When she suddenly smiled, her eyes dazzled like gemstones.Josh was dazed for a few seconds before he criticized, “You shameless mistress, it’s no wonder you’re so rich. You’re the most scheming woman I’ve ever met. You must’ve used wealth and appearance to trick many men.”What he meant was that Charity could come that far because she relied on men.Neeson Corporation’s secretary could not bear to listen to it. “You’d better watch your mouth. President Robbins–”Charity lifted her ha
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
