Charity felt absolutely guilty. She admitted that she was too petty just now. She could see that even though Chester could walk after having a prosthetic leg, there were still some differences between him and normal people. “Will you be… like this forever?”“The doctor said it’ll get better after some time, but I can’t put on my prosthetic leg every day.” Chester picked up his walking stick. “It’s getting late. I’ll be heading back first.”“I’ll… I’ll escort you back,” Charity said worriedly upon recalling him falling just now. “There’s no need for that. I won’t fall as long as no one pushes me so suddenly.”Charity did not say a word. Well, she could refrain from getting violent whenever she met him in the future. If that were not possible, she would scold him to satisfy herself. In the end, Charity insisted on seeing Chester off. “When are you planning to return to work at Jewell Corporation?”“I’m not going back anymore,” Chester said nonchalantly. Charity was stun
“What’s with your attitude?” Hunter said harshly. “Your mom isn’t well, yet you haven’t come to visit her after your return. She talks about you every day.”“Doesn’t she have Cindy as a daughter? Why does she still think of me?” Chester said sarcastically. “That was because you weren’t by our sides. We were lonely, and only Cindy often came to spend time with her. Cindy fulfilled all the responsibilities that you did not. Speaking of which, Cindy is really a nice girl.”Chester was speechless. If it were not for him having some similarities to Hunter and his wife in terms of looks, he would suspect that they were not his biological parents. He did not know how their brains developed either. Did their brains shrink due to old age?“Ha. Would Cindy treat you guys well if not for the money I gave you?” Chester snorted. “I heard you two gave Cindy a lot of money to start her company. It would be best if you took it easy. Don’t come to me asking for money once you run out of it.”
“I’ll handle it immediately.”Ken nodded. “By the way, the hospital director has contacted me several times. He’s asking when you’ll be going back. Ever since you left, the hospital director has encountered a few tricky conditions. However, no one in the country can compare to you in terms of brain surgeries.” Chester lowered his head and looked at his hands. He said slowly, “I’ve left the operation table for over a year now, and my hands have lost their touch. Forget it.”“The hospital director said you can work in the outpatient department if you don’t want to do surgeries.”“Let’s talk about this again next time.” Chester’s gaze shifted toward the house next door. Ken was helpless. It seemed like Young Master Jewell was not interested in doing anything besides watching over the person living next door. …In the house next door, Charity had just finished feeding Cal. After handing Cal to Aunty Lorrie, she received a call from Levi. “Do you have time today? Come to Ferra F
“What’s wrong with Cindy?”Shedrick forced a smile. “Felix Media previously used many resources to promote her. Although that was Young Master Jewell’s order, as the president of the company, I didn’t make things difficult for her either. Yet now, the problem comes. Now that she has become the big boss, she’s making things difficult for me. Considering even my web drama can’t be aired, she must’ve pulled some strings behind my back.” Charity was speechless.Although Shedrick had the bad habit of oppressing his employees, he took good care of Cindy. Earlier, many artists who signed with Felix Media were dissatisfied with the company’s overly nice treatment toward Cindy.Yet, Cindy was now making things difficult for Shedrick.However, Shedrick got over it at last. “That’s for sure. I’ve seen people like her. Even though she used to be an artist under my care, now that she managed to turn things around, she’s definitely having fun torturing her ex-boss. However, I’m not as cruel
“You’re keen on working with Kearny Technology, but Cindy refused, huh?”Charity soon grasped the point.No wonder Levi dared not take Shedrick into the company. It was because Cindy had been secretly acting against Shedrick, and if Levi accepted Shedrick, it would result in a falling-out with Cindy.“Could Cindy have suggested making me kneel and beg her for forgiveness?” Charity guessed grimly.“No.” President Gilbert said in embarrassment, “She said she didn’t want the money. All she wants is ten percent of Eagle Videos’ shares.”Amused, Charity burst into laughter.It suddenly hit her that Cindy was different from before.In the past, Cindy would use despicable means to deal with Charity or tear people apart in secret. She would also weep in front of Chester and feigned pity.Now, she was a lot smarter.Eagle Videos had become well-known internationally. By relying solely on the ten percent of the company’s shares she owned, she would be eligible for a high dividend every
In the office filled with sunlight, Levi and President Gilbert exchanged nervous glances. As soon as Charity and Cindy met, they were already hostile toward each other.The only thing Levi and President Gilbert feared was that Charity would get mad.However, Charity did not. All she did was laugh calmly. “No. I think I look better this way. Having more fat makes me look like I have enough collagen. On the contrary, I almost couldn’t recognize you. Honestly, it’s better not to undergo plastic surgery. Look at yourself. Even though your nose was slightly flat back then, it was natural. You might look good now, but your face is stiff.” Cindy’s delicate face darkened. “Really? Do you think it’s stiff because something is wrong with your eyes? President Quimby, what do you think of my face?”Levi’s scalp tingled.If it were back then, he would definitely not respect Cindy. However, at that moment…He knew that if he said something wrong, it would mess up his plan for both companies t
“It’s not impossible for you to be friends with me.” Cindy ran her hand through her hair seductively. “If you cut all connections with Catherine and Freya and give me some of Eagle Videos’ shares, we can work together. Additionally, keep a distance from everyone in the Jewell family.”Levi frowned. Although he wanted both companies to collaborate, he thought Cindy was too greedy. Cindy’s attitude, especially, made it look like Charity was begging her. Other people may not know Charity well, but Levi did. Earning money was a piece of cake for her. As long as she revealed her identity, many wealthy people worldwide would be looking for her to collaborate on businesses. However, instead of revealing her identity, Charity chose to keep a low profile. Although she invested in many companies, she rarely meddled in the company’s affairs. It could be said that she had more than enough money for the rest of her life. Cindy, on the other hand, was indeed different from before. Neverth
Levi was shocked. “But you can earn dividends and profit from Eagle Videos.”“Based on Cindy’s personality, she’ll definitely want to meddle in Eagle Videos’ affairs after she joins. From an investor’s perspective, I don’t trust her abilities.”Charity shrugged her shoulders and went straight to the point. “I admit that for her to achieve what she has now despite coming from a financially-struggling family, she’s capable. However, her skills don’t lie in the business industry. She didn’t major in management or economics in university either. It’s easy to earn money, but earning lots of money while leading the company to greater heights is difficult. Frankly speaking, Cindy is narrow-minded. She has only achieved some minor success, yet she’s become so arrogant. She won’t be able to go far with that personality.”Levi was torn. After all, Eagle Videos had brought a lot of profit to him over the past year. “But isn’t Kearny Technology developing well under her management?”“You menti
