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
Although Josh’s assistant was a female, she was related to him. Hence, she was bolder with him and spoke in an abrasive manner. “I’m telling the truth. Even though Chester saved your mom, it’s a fact that Chester hurt Eliza and forced himself on her. We can’t forget the hurtful things Chester did just because he saved Eliza.”Josh refuted with dissatisfaction, “That’s right. Chester forced himself on Eliza, but he lost a leg for her sake.”“But have you heard what Eliza said in the recording? Chester has never talked to her as a human. Eliza truly hates him too. But to men like you, she’s someone who has slept with a few men.”His assistant’s mouth twitched, and she was a little angry. “Since you’re not a woman, you don’t understand the feeling of being forced upon and helpless. Chester was in a relationship with Cindy at that time. He could even destroy Eliza at any time for Cindy’s sake.”In the face of his cousin’s self-righteous manner, Josh instantly became diffident.His ass
Josh recalled talking about female celebrities in the entertainment industry when he went overseas for a competition with some athletes.At that time, most male athletes expressed their liking for Eliza.Besides the fact that she was naturally beautiful, she exuded an indescribable sense of elegance. Her eyes conveyed maturity, calmness, and confidence as though she was born to be a rich young lady.Josh’s assistant laughed and said, “I never thought people like you still exist, Miss Robbins. You’re rare to find in today’s society.”Charity smiled and glanced at the time. “It’s getting quite late. Would you like to have dinner together? It’ll be on me.”Josh’s assistant did not answer. All she did was shoot a look at Josh.She was under the impression that Josh would decline the offer, but surprisingly, he raised his brows. “Sure.”This time, it was Charity’s turn to be astonished. She was just being polite and thought Josh would decline, considering he hated her so much.In th
It was night. Charity went to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine. Considering that she was about to take care of a cat, she went to a pet shop to get cat food and a cat bed. The following day, she called Josh. “Where are you? When can I go over to pick up the cat?”“Didn’t I say I’ll send it over to you?” Josh seemed to be doing something as he was panting. The man’s panting voice coming through the phone sounded sexy, and it made Charity feel awkward hearing it. “Did I call you at an inconvenient time?”“It’s indeed not the right time.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were doing… that?” Charity’s scalp heated up. “That?” Josh was puzzled. “What are you talking about?”“Okay, I got it.”“What did you get? I’m training.” Josh wiped some sweat off his forehead. “You can just come to our training base to get the cat. It’s in my car.”“Training?” Charity was surprised and embarrassed at the same time. “Nonsense. What else can I be doing if not training?” Josh paused as if h
Charity was astonished. Was it still the stray cat she saw yesterday?The cat’s fur was washed clean. It smelled good, and its sharp nails were gone. “Thank you.” Charity thanked Josh sincerely. “How much did you spend? I’ll transfer the amount to you.” “It was just a few hundred dollars. I’m not short on money.”“That can’t do.” Charity did not know him that well. Although a few hundred dollars was a meager amount to them, she had to give him the money. “What’s your number? I’ll transfer the money to you.”“You women are so troublesome.”Josh flashed a QR code linked to his contact. Charity was stunned. She thought he would be showing a QR code for payment. However, it was all the same. She could transfer the money to him after adding his contact. Josh immediately put his phone into his pocket after Charity scanned the QR code. “Okay. I have to go back to my training.”Then, he left without waiting for Charity to speak. Charity transferred him 500 dollars as soon as
A gleam flashed across Charity’s eyes. She stared at that name for a long time, and in the end, she added that person to her contacts. After that, she placed her phone aside. Five minutes later, the phone vibrated. Charity hesitated for a few minutes before picking up the phone. Chester had sent her a picture of blue skies and green mountains. The picture was beautiful, which reminded her of inner calmness. Chester sent a message. [Are you doing well? I’m recuperating at this place. It’s lovely. I’m greeted with the peaceful scenery outside every day when I open my eyes.]Charity sighed and touched her forehead. She could not ignore his greeting. Hence, she had no choice but to reply to him. [I’m doing well. What about you? How’s your injury?]Chester: [I can stand up now. I’m trying to walk around with crutches.]As Charity read his message, she felt a lump in her throat. She only sent a reply after some time. [It’ll get better.]Chester: [Yeah.]The man in the
