[I feel bad for Eliza. I wonder how her condition is now?]
[Jacob must be severely punished. This kind of person isn’t worthy of being a father at all.]
In the hospital’s hallway, Chester silently lit a cigarette while still in his white coat.
Eliza’s manager, Hailey Zimmer, rushed over. When she saw Chester, she was startled. “Young… Young Master Jewell… You…”
Actually, she had a lot of things to say. For example, why was Chester at Eliza’s home? Why was it Chester who sent Eliza to the hospital?
Luckily, only her, Shedrick, and the police knew about it. It would be troublesome if someone had taken a picture.
“What’s going on between Eliza and Jacob?” Chester asked with an indifferent expression.
Hailey sighed. “It’s almost the same as what’s being said on the internet. Jacob has never provided for Eliza. When Eliza was four years old, her parents got a divorce. After that, she lived with her mother. Her mother had a hard life while raising her. She went to work during the day and even had to work part-time jobs at night. Finally, Eliza managed to gain some popularity.
“That was when Eliza’s dad began looking for her. He wanted her to give him allowance money every month. In the past, Eliza was an honest child. She was afraid Jacob would defame her. All the money she earned was taken away by Jacob. The rest was given to her biological mother. Actually, she never had much money. It’s just that she’s toughened up that she now has some savings after steadily gaining popularity in these two years.”
” I understand. ” Chester nodded. “You can go in.” Hailey immediately entered the ward.
Chester stood in front of the window. He could not help but think, ¡®Was that why she chose to take the risk? She’d rather take a knife and stab herself.’
Seriously, it was the first time he saw a woman who would treat herself so harshly.
Eliza, Eliza…
What kind of person was she?
She made him lie to the police and said it was Jacob who stabbed her.
Ha.
In the ward.
Eliza finally regained consciousness.
She first saw Hailey and Leanne. However, Hailey was very busy. She kept making phone calls with her back facing Eliza.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. It most probably has to be postponed to next month due to Eliza’s injury… If you’re in a rush, you can switch to another artist. Or you can wait for Eliza…”
“You’ve finally woken up. I was scared to death. ” Leanne saw Eliza first. Her eyes lit up.
Hailey turned her head too. She hung up after speaking a few more sentences and looked at Eliza. She sighed. “Your injury is really giving me a headache.”
“I’m sorry, Hailey, ” Eliza apologized weakly. “I most probably can’t join the production of The Belle. And there are still two commercials and three events that I was scheduled to attend this month.”
“The people from the commercials and events called. One of them is more urgent, so I rejected it. We have to pay the damages for the breach of contract as well. The others said they’re willing to wait for you.” Hailey rubbed the middle of her brows. “The person we’ve truly let down is Director Cheever. He was determined to make you famous and cast you as the female lead.”
Eliza closed her eyes. Being unable to participate in The Belle was quite a pity, but she did not regret it. She was in a very bad mood yesterday when Jacob came and offended her. She had wanted to get rid of him for a long time already.
“However, I’ve already asked the doctor. She said your injuries are not that serious and you can manage to join the production after a month.
Director Cheever said he can film other scenes first. Nevertheless, after you return to the production, even if you have to work overtime and stay up all night, you have to finish filming the rest of your scenes within two months. During that period, there’ll be a lot of wire stunt scenes. You body… “
“I can do it.” Eliza nodded.
Hailey was not happy. Instead, she frowned. ” Although you can join the production with your injury, it still hasn’t recovered completely yet. If you go on the wire, it’ll affect the wound…”
“It’s okay, ” Eliza said, “Director Cheever is already being extremely accommodating by being willing to wait for me. It’s my honor too. If I can’t even bear such small inconveniences, how can I live up to Director Cheever’s expectations?”
Hailey sighed. A look of deep thought flashed across her eyes. “By the way, Eliza, be honest with me.
What’s going on… between you and Young Master Jewell? Why was he at your place? Also, I heard he was the one who sent you here.”
“I don’t know why he went to my place either.” Eliza frowned. She said sarcastically, “But men are always filled with dirty thoughts when they see pretty women.”
Leanne was stunned. “Oh my gosh, no wonder Young Master Jewell came to the filming set yesterday. He even came to your dressing room. I thought he came to visit Cindy, but… Tsk, Young Master Jewell is too much. His girlfriend was around, yet he was still openly…”
“Speak carefully.”
Hailey glared at Leanne. She did not feel happy. Instead, she had a mild headache. Eliza was the most outstanding artist she had. She just hoped that Eliza would work hard to earn money. She did not hope Eliza would be involved in any relationships, especially since Young Master Jewell was not someone any ordinary people could offend.
“To be honest, if Young Master Jewell wasn’t going to get married and didn’t have an official girlfriend, I’d be very happy if he wanted to pursue you. After all, Young Master Jewell has great authority. He can allow you to reach greater heights. But… the public already knows that he’s about to marry Cindy. It’ll be troublesome if you get involved with him. If news gets out, your reputation will be tarnished.”
Hailey said, “Moreover, I had a few interactions with Cindy before. I’m already one of the best managers in the company. Even President Daley has to treat me with respect when he sees me. But Cindy looks down on me just because she thinks she’s Young Master Jewell’s woman. Someone like her is narrow-minded. If she finds out, she’ll stop at nothing to oppress you.”
“I understand everything you said. That’s why I’ve been rejecting Chester’s advances.” Eliza frowned. “
People like him just treat us as a past-time activity.”
“It’s good that you understand. I hope Young Master Jewell will give up soon, ” Hailey reminded her, “Monte is the best example.”
Speaking of Monte, Eliza went silent.
Actually, she did not have much impression of Monte anymore. When she woke up, she found out that the previous Eliza had committed suicide for Monte.
He was nothing but another scumbag.
“Get some rest. Let Leanne stay here and take care of you. I still have to manage your matters. There’s a bunch of reporters outside,” Hailey said, “By the way, how should we deal with your father’s matter?”
“How is the media reporting on things?” Eliza asked.
“Luckily, they already dug out information on Jacob and his family. They even contacted many people who are familiar with Jacob and his family to give statements. Anyway, the outsiders already know that they’re a family of vampires. The public sympathizes with you a lot now.”
Eliza gave it some thought and said, “Reveal the name of Jacob’s neighborhood and the address of his son’s company. Also, find a lawyer to get back the money I gave Jacob before. At the same time, sue Jacob. Since he injured me, he should go to jail.”
Hailey glanced at her in surprise. “What?” Eliza asked.
“Nothing, ” Hailey said with complicated feelings, ” I just think that you’ve changed quite a lot now.
You used to be soft-hearted and kept caring about that almost non-existent father-daughter relationship. Actually, you were quite weak at that time.”
“I won’t be weak anymore, ” Eliza said, “Those who didn’t treat me well have no right to take my things away from me.”
“Okay.”
Hailey left.
Leanne fed Eliza some porridge.
Not long after, the door was pushed open again. The person who came in was Chester.
He wore a white coat and glasses. He had mild short -sightedness, so he usually wore glasses when he was working. However, that did not affect his handsome looks. On the contrary, it made him look more elegant, gentlemanly, and smart.
Leanne used to hear people say that Chester was the most good-looking when he wore a white coat. At this moment, she almost forgot to shift her eyes when she saw the sight for herself today.
She was only reminded after Eliza cleared her throat lightly. When Leanne came back to her senses, she felt frustrated and awkward.
Leanne did not understand. Chester was clearly such a scummy person, but why did his appearance look so clear and bright like the moon? As expected, men could not be judged by their looks.
“You can step out first, ” Chester said to Leanne right away.
Leanne made a troubled expression. “Young Master Jewell, Eliza’s injury hasn’t recovered yet. You shouldn’t—“
“Do I look that immoral to you?” Chester interrupted her. “Moreover, I’m her doctor in charge. I was the one who treated her injury.”
“Oh…” Leanne had no choice but to leave.
Eliza looked at Chester with a weak, pale face. ” Thank you, Young Master Jewell.”
“Is that enough?” Chester sat at the bedside, smirking. “Eliza, I’m a person who abides by the laws. But for you, I made a false statement for the first time. Not only that, but I was also the one who sent you to the hospital.”
Eliza did not say a word, and her eyes were cold like glass.
