Chester’s eyes swept over Cindy’s face, not hiding the disgust in his eyes. “It’s quite ugly.”
“Chester…” Feeling aggrieved, Cindy drawled, she looked as though she was hard hit by the slap.
Madam Chester pulled a long face. “What are you saying? Your woman, Eliza, was the one who slapped Cindy in full view of everyone. You need to stand up for Cindy. Eliza’s too arrogant. “
In truth, Chester had heard about the incident in the meeting room.
However, he could not be bothered about it, given that so many things had been happening with Felix Media. Now that Cindy brought Madam Jewell along to see him, he was really annoyed.
He was annoyed at how Cindy kept making a scene.
He was annoyed at how arrogant Eliza was.
Those women were causing him trouble even at such a critical period.
“If you don’t believe me, watch the video yourself.” Madam Jewell directly handed him Cindy’s phone, which showed the surveillance footage of the meeting room. Chester did not take it but placed his hand lightly on the screen. There was no sound in the video, but it was a fact that Eliza attacked Cindy first. What was more, Eliza looked extremely arrogant after that.
A trace of dislike flashed across Chester’s eyes.
Upon seeing that, Cindy said, “I really didn’t provoke her. Everyone in the meeting room saw that she pushed me to the floor without even apologizing to me. Later, she provoked me again. She thinks she can bully me as she wishes just because she’s your woman.”
Madam Jewell said in exasperation, “That woman has gone too far. she even hired netizens to accuse Cindy and claim that Cindy slept with Stuart. Cindy’s plan to make her comeback was going very well. But now, the production team that had signed her on before is putting her off from going on set maybe because they want to terminate their contracts with her. Chester, you must teach that woman a lesson this time.”
“What do you guys want me to do?” Chester raised his brows. “Since you both came together, you must have a plan already.”
Cindy’s heart trembled under his stare. Fortunately, she was clever enough to have brought Madam Jewell over with her this time.
Madam Jewell said, “You know full well whether Cindy is Stuart’s woman or not. If it hadn’t been for Cindy giving me her blood over the last two years, I would’ve lost my life long ago. Since Eliza slapped Cindy and then smeared Cindy’s name by spreading rumors, she must pay the price. If you want other people to forget about Cindy’s issue, you have to expose an even bigger piece of news to divert the netizens’ attention. I heard Eliza used to be with Monte…”
Some things were self-explanatory.
Chester did not turn his eyes to Madam Jewell. Instead, he stared at Cindy, his eyes glinting with coldness. “Are you trying to get me to expose what happened between Eliza and Monte?”
Madam Jewell said with a frown, “why are you staring at Cindy? This was my idea.”
“Mom, both of you aren’t experienced enough to play tricks in front of me.” Chester narrowed his eyes and said with a cold voice, “I understand Cindy’s character more than anyone else.”
Cindy was particularly embarrassed. “I- I’m doing this for your own good. The artists in our company have been the subject of discussion among the netizens for the past few days, and Eliza is the only one who is least influenced by this matter. Chester, Eliza is an A-list artist. If you expose her scandal now, it will divert the public’s attention from you, Felix Media, me, and even other artists.
“This method is wonderful.” Madam Jewell said, “Eliza is just an ordinary artist.
Without her, you can still make another artist popular. I heard all the media are going to report about Felix Media getting fined tonight, and then it’ll surely go on the trending searches. Someone needs to divert the public’s attention at a time like this, and Eliza is the most suitable person.”
“Chester, Eliza willingly got together with Monte back then. She’s the one who brought it upon herself,” Cindy added.
Chester looked at Cindy sinisterly and laughed. “What a wonderful plan, huh?”
His stare made Cindy’s hair stand on end, and she quickly looked down. “Chester, you promised that you’d support me in making a comeback. I believe you’re not the kind who’ll go back on your word.”

Chester’s expression darkened. The office was quiet for a while before he said, “Mom, I still have work to do. Take her away and stop disturbing me.”
Dissatisfied, Madam Jewell opened her mouth, but Cindy promptly pulled her away. “Madam Jewell, let’s go.”
Madam Jewell furrowed her brows. ” Anyhow, I’ll do it even if you don’t. I’ll be taking Cindy’s side no matter what.”
With that, she pulled Cindy and walked away.
Chester tilted his head, placed his long, slender fingers on his temples, and pressed them gently.
Ten minutes later, he contacted Shedrick.
shedrick was astounded when he heard what Chester said. “Are you really planning to do that? Eliza will be pissed off.”
Chester said indifferently, “Didn’t she join the entertainment industry for the sake of money? Anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem.”
Shedrick did not know what to say to that.
Having gotten along with Eliza, he felt that Eliza was not the sort who could be dealt with using money.
“Otherwise, do you have any other solutions?” Chester asked.
Shedrick sighed. “There are scandalous scoops of other A-list artists in the entertainment industry too, but they have impressive backgrounds, and exposing them will only offend some people. Eliza is the only artist without an impressive background. Her family background is average, and she comes from a small town.”
“It’s decided, then,” Chester said.
Shedrickwas frustrated. “Howf*cking unkind of us. Should I let Eliza know in advance?”
“Get her to meet me tomorrow.” Chester made the decision in a light-hearted manner.
That night, all the media reported about Felix Media getting heavily fined.
After watching the news, Eliza drank some wine and went to bed.
The next day, she was awoken by knocks on the door.
Dressed in her pajamas and still looking sleepy, she went to open the door. “It’s only 6:00 a.m. Why are you here?”
“The fat is in the fire,” skyler said hurriedly. “Lizzie, your relationship with Monte has been exposed. Now, the office is crowded with reporters. There are even reporters outside your neighborhood.
Everyone on the Internet is talking about how you were once his lover. Furthermore, Monte is already engaged and even has a fiancee.”
Eliza was completely awake now. she turned on her phone and saw many people circulating intimate photos of her and Monte during her university years on the Internet. Some verified users claimed that she was Monte’s kept woman during her university years and that she later entered the entertainment industry because of her relationship with Monte. However, Monte abandoned her once he had enough of her, but she tried to force Monte to marry her by means of suicide.
There were records of her staying in the hospital and undergoing surgery.
Seemingly, there were no two ways about it.
Eliza was Charity, but she was using Eliza’s body. Although the soul inside had changed, what had happened in the past could not be erased.
However, she could not understand it. She already had people erase all of those things when she woke up back then, so barely any outsiders knew of it. How…
Then, Eliza saw that after her scandal was exposed on the trending list, the news of Felix Media getting fined and Cindy’s dirt had silently disappeared from the list. In that instant, Eliza understood everything.
Oh. It turned out that she was a sacrificial lamb for the company.
A hint of coldness welled up in her heart. It was the same feeling she felt when she was accused of murder.
“Lizzie, what do we do?” skyler was flustered. “Hailey has gone to the company to look for President Daley. Hopefully, the company can take you down from the trending list as soon as possible.”
“President Daley?” Eliza looked at her naive assistant as if she had heard a joke. “Does Hailey really know nothing at all?”
“Know what?” skyler was clueless.
“This is an act arranged by Felix Media. They’re using me as a sacrificial lamb.”
Eliza chuckled coldly. “Look! The scandal of an A-list female celebrity is so juicy that the attention on Felix Media’s issues has been diverted right away.”
skyler was stunned and in disbelief. “The company must be crazy. You’re the top artist in the company. You earn the most money every year.”
“Everyone is replaceable.” Eliza put her phone down. “I’m going to get changed, have some breakfast, and head to the company.”
“A-Are you still in the mood to have breakfast?” skyler was about to go insane.
“Why not? I’m about to lose my career. Should I starve myself to death too?”
With that, Eliza turned away coldly. If it were the old her, she might have lost control out of anger or even have done some irrational things.
However, she had already experienced death before, so what else would she still be afraid of?
She just felt sorry for the real Eliza.
