Charity withdrew her hand. “Drive carefully.”Just as Chester was about to change gears, his phone rang.He glanced at the notification of the incoming call, and a trace of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.“Answer it.” Charity picked up his phone for him and tapped the ‘answer’ button. Then, the sound of Madam Jewell’s weeping rang out. “Chester, hurry up and come home. I don’t know why, but your dad has been taken away. They claimed he was involved in corruption and gambling. How could your dad have done these things?”“You’re looking for the wrong person. You should look for Cindy. She’s a good family member of yours,” Chester said derisively.“Don’t behave like this, Chester. That girl isn’t picking up my calls, so I can only rely on you right now. Your dad can’t go to jail. Those old friends of his aren’t picking up my calls too.” Madam Jewell said tearfully, “If you don’t come home now, I’ll hit my head against the wall and kill myself.” “Why don’t you go and take a look
“Chester, you ungrateful b*stard. You’ll die a miserable death.”Madam Jewell’s scolding came from behind. “If something happens to your dad, I don’t want to live too.” Charity studied the raging woman behind through the rearview mirror. The saying, what comes around goes around, was true. Madam Jewell used to act haughtily in front of Charity as if no one could deserve her son, but now, it was… hard to explain. “Do you want to get someone to keep an eye on her? What if she really–”“Ha! Don’t worry. Among the people I know, she fears death the most.” Chester snorted. “If she isn’t scared of dying, why would she treat Cindy so dearly? She even forced me to marry Cindy and support Cindy’s career to keep her blood donor by her side back then. She has committed so many evil deeds. If not for her illness, I wouldn’t tolerate this anymore.”Chester had exhausted all the patience he had toward his mother. Charity pressed her lips together. Although she had experienced many hards
“Cindy, it must be hard on you,” Madam Jewell said agitatedly. “Don’t worry. As long as you’re willing to help your uncle, everything we have will be yours in the future. We see you as our daughter.”“Don’t say that, Aunt Lynnette. It’s only fair I do that for you. You two have been so nice to me.” Cindy helped Madam Jewell into the house. “In that case… When can you meet Senator Cox?”“This evening. However, Senator Cox doesn’t have time, so his nephew will come over instead.” Cindy lowered her head and said, “You know Senator Cox can’t be there personally for matters like this.”“I know, I know.”…At night, Chester and Charity pushed Cal, who was in the pram, as they took a stroll in the neighborhood’s garden. Cal’s dark eyes looked in many directions. He was very excited. Charity was teasing her son with an ice cream in her hand, and soon, she made Cal drool. “Stop teasing him.” Chester could not stand his son’s silly look. It was unbearable to watch. “I want to teas
Chester massaged his head that was about to burst. He really did not expect his mother to be so stupid. In fact, he had protected her too well throughout the years. Within two years of Chester leaving the Jewell family, one of his parents was deceived and was now going to prison, while the other most likely had her funeral savings scammed. “Where’s Cindy?”“She has divided the money equally with Stanley after receiving it and plans to leave Australia overnight,” Ken said in a low voice. “Because of our warning, many who used to be close to Cindy haven’t dared to interact with her recently. Cindy was also trying to get people to invest in Eagle Videos, but she failed to bring in any investors. It resulted in a drop in Eagle Videos’ shares, and many shareholders were displeased with her. She knew that her connections relied on the Jewell family, so after Hunter got into trouble, she transferred all her money overseas. In addition to the money she scammed today, she has about two
Cindy’s face suddenly paled, and she felt like her body was soaked in an ice bath in winter. After half a minute, Cindy lifted her face. “I didn’t con your mom out of her money. She gave it to me willingly.”“Even up to now, you still refuse to admit it, huh?” Chester questioned coldly, “Cindy, you really won’t admit it until you’re faced with a grim reality.”“Mr. Jewell, don’t accuse me.” Cindy clenched her fists. “What you said doesn’t count unless your mom personally tells the police that I conned her. After all, the money belongs to Madam Jewell.”Chester fixed her a death stare. He had never hated a woman so much.With that, Madam Jewell was summoned to the police station.On her way there, she heard about the incident from Ken and had never expected that Cindy would con her.She honestly felt that she had always treated Cindy well and like she was her biological daughter.However, when her husband was in trouble, Cindy came to con her out of the remaining money she had.
20 minutes later, Cindy and Madam Jewell walked out of the police station.Before they were at the exit, the police came after Cindy and stopped her. “Excuse me, Miss Turner, but you’ve been accused of murder. Please come back with me for investigation.”“I… I wasn’t. What murder? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”Cindy was dumbfounded. She was still thinking about the 800 million dollars she could have swindled just now. Although her trick did not work, she still had one billion dollars. Moreover, she did not intend to continue donating blood to Madam Jewell. When an opportune moment came, she was ready to flee Canberra. Never did she expect to be arrested again.Madam Jewell was a little dumbfounded. “Are you arresting the wrong person? How could she possibly be involved in a murder case?”“The daughter of the ex-president of Kearny Technology has accused her of tricking an ex-president together with the company’s senior management.” The police gave Madam Jewell the
Charity nodded before heading upstairs.Chester was not a stranger to her anyway.When she was outside the bedroom, Charity pushed the door open without bothering to knock on the door.Chester was still lying on the bed.Only when Charity walked over did he squint open his eyes. His handsome face was flushed red, and his voice was hoarse. “Charity, what brings you here?”“Did you catch a cold?” Charity touched his forehead, which was burning hot. “You’re having a fever.”“Mm. A little.” Chester tried to sit up with his arms.He had lost a leg, and coupled with the fact that he had no energy, he did not manage to sit up.Charity stretched out her hands to support him, but he immediately stopped her.“No. I’ll do it on my own. Charity, wait for me downstairs.” Chester looked down with evasive eyes.Charity did not understand what was happening at first, but she figured it out shortly after she caught sight of the prosthetic leg by the bed.“It’s rare to see you ashamed. If you
Charity went over with a first aid kit. Chester had barely managed to put on his pajama pants and was sitting by the bedside, putting on his prosthetic leg as he panted. That scene made Charity unhappy. “Aren’t you feeling sick? Why are you still up? Lie down.”Charity pushed him onto the bed. Chester felt awkward. “You should go back. I’m fine. I can take care of myself.”“Be quiet.” Charity took a thermometer from the first aid kit. “Put it under your armpit yourself.”Chester did so obediently. If it were in the past, no woman would have dared to talk to him that way.However, he was okay with Charity doing it. He even felt an indescribable sense of pleasure and warmth. “I’ll listen to anything you say, Charity.”Charity looked toward him strangely. If Chester used to be a heartless wolf, he would be like a husky, wagging its tail, at that moment. “Are you hungry?” Charity asked. “Are you going to cook for me?” Chester’s eyes lit up. “The fever must’ve fried your
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
