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
“Mom, let’s do this tomorrow.”Charity persuaded Larissa. “The sky’s getting dark. It’s time for dinner.”“Aunt Larissa, please go home for dinner first.” Chester chimed in too. “Okay.” Larissa stood up and put down the hoe. “Let’s go, Chet. Come over for dinner.”Chester glanced at Charity’s face, which suddenly darkened, and refused resignedly. “I’ll decline the offer. Eliza will be unhappy if I go over for meals every day.”Eliza was puzzled. What was that supposed to mean? He made her seem like a petty person. Besides, for someone who lived next door, was he not embarrassed about going over to her place for meals every day?However, Larissa did not look in Charity’s direction. “Ignore Lizzie. I welcome you to come over to our place for meals. Besides, It’s all thanks to you today.”“Mom, what are you talking about?” Charity did not understand a word. Larissa quickly said, “Chet conducted a simple checkup on me today. He’s really skilled as a doctor.”Then, she gave a
“You want to kick me out, huh?”Chester did not panic. Instead, he grinned and rubbed Cal’s chubby chin, teasing Cal. He made Cal giggle, and Cal looked adorable.Charity watched her son smile at Chester happily. Cal seemed to have become familiar with Chester within a day. Annoyed, Charity carried her son to the other side. “Don’t touch my son.”“Fine. Well, I thought I’d tell you about your mum’s condition.” Chester said nonchalantly, “There are some things I didn’t say in front of her because I was worried she’d feel embarrassed.”Once Charity heard it, she immediately became worried. “It was my fault just now. I’m sorry for offending you. Please say it.”“...”Charity’s mood changed so quickly that it left Chester dumbfounded for two seconds. However, he could understand why. Larissa was the only person in the world to whom Charity felt most guilty. After all, Charity occupied the body of Larissa’s daughter, so she would surely go all out to look after Eliza’s mother.“Yo
Charity felt conflicted.Eliza was selfish to commit suicide for the sake of a man. If Charity were not here, she could not imagine what kind of life Larissa would be living.The most painful thing one could experience in their life was to watch their children die before them. After Charity and Larissa arrived at the hospital, the director of the hospital personally took them for a check-up.Charity felt guilty about it. “Director, you may carry on with your work. I’ve troubled you a lot today.”“No worries. You’re the largest shareholder of Jewell Corporation, so technically speaking, you’re my boss.” The director’s surname was Ashby, and he was in his forties. He had a round face and was always smiling.“Don’t say that. You’re a medical expert and an honorable doctor in the country, whereas I’m nothing but a money-grubbing businessperson.”Director Ashby laughed out loud. “I seem to understand how you managed to make Chester become loyal to you.”Charity smiled faintly, not
“Yes. How’s my mother?” Charity’s heart pounded, and she quickly walked over to enquire.“We noticed a polyp in her cervix.”Charity’s face paled. “Is it… severe?”Director Ashby came and took over the report from the examining physician. “Um… The polyp is quite big.”“Yes. Surgery is necessary.” The examining physician knew the director, so he hurriedly nodded politely. “Director, we’re just in charge of body check-ups. Regarding the treatment, we’ll have to transfer the patient to the gynecology department.” “Thank you.” Director Ashby nodded. “Please contact Doctor Stern from the gynecology department and pass the patient to her. Tell her to hospitalize the patient.” After the arrangement was made, Director Ashby said to Charity worriedly, “Luckily, it’s just a polyp. Once it’s cut, it’ll be fine, and it won’t cause much harm. However, the polyp is huge. If you ignore it, it’ll definitely result in bleeding and some other gynecological issues.”Only after hearing his words
Larissa and Charity were utterly shocked by the scene. It was inconvenient for Chester to walk, yet he was here to send them food. “You two must’ve been busy the entire morning and haven’t eaten. I’ve gotten my chef at home to make these.” Chester gestured at Ken to place the insulated lunch boxes on the table. Inside them were mushroom soup, lobsters, and vegetables. Larissa and Charity had been busy, so they were not hungry. They had even forgotten about eating. However, when they saw the food, their stomachs started growling. “How could we accept this? You even brought them over yourself. We could’ve settled our meal in the canteen,” Larissa said reluctantly. “Don’t say that, Aunt Larissa. I’ve also had many meals at your place for the past two days. However, I told the chef not to cook something too greasy because it’s better to eat light and easily digestible food before surgery.” Chester took a lunch box and handed it to Larissa. He knew he had to please his mother-in
