“You did contribute to my suicidal attempt, didn’t you? What I meant online was that I did that because of my unsuccessful career and relationship. I’ve already tried to cover up for you,” Eliza said lazily while leaning against the bed. Her voice sounded particularly flirtatious and arrogant.
Monte was stunned. He was angry at first, but after hearing her indifferent voice, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. “Did you just wake up?”
He still knew Eliza well. She used to sound like that when she just woke up too, but her voice was not as cold as it was now.
The coldness of her voice further aroused the man’s interest.
“None of your business.” Eliza spat him those four words coldly.
While clenching his teeth, Monte smiled in excitement. “Eliza, you’ve grown cleverer. You even dare to tell me off now.”
“Why not?” Eliza said indifferently, “I was inexperienced back then, but after entering the entertainment industry, I’ve come across numerous rich people and realized that the Patterson family is only so-so in Canberra.”
Monte was instantly put out by her words. ” Okay, fine. I heard Cate and Mireya are your friends now. How remarkable of you. But Eliza, you came from a small town. Your identity is a world apart from theirs. That difference was determined from the moment we came to this world.”
“Idiot.”
Eliza immediately hung up the call.
Monte watched her hang up on him and found it unbelievable.
He could not believe Eliza dared to tell him off and even hang upon him.
Was she not madly in love with him?
Yet now, she did not give a shit about him. Could she be playing hard to get?
A hint of interest crossed Monte’s eyes. He had to admit that Eliza’s tactic had attracted him.
While Eliza was making breakfast, Hailey called her. “Have you moved out?”
“Yeah. Since the contract has been terminated, there’s no reason for me to use Felix Media’s apartment anymore.” Eliza stirred the noodles in the pot.
Hailey was filled with a mix of emotions. ” Eliza… you’ve come up with a solution, right?”
“Hailey, you think too highly of me. If this issue hadn’t offended Monte, I wouldn’t have had any solution.” Eliza sounded indifferent. Regardless of how Hailey had treated her back then, the two of them were destined to go on different paths after Eliza left the company.
“Do you think President Daley and President Jewell will believe it?” Hailey said helplessly, “President Jewell has told me to inform you to see him this morning. If you don’t show up, you’ll bear the consequences.”
“Tell him to meet at Bluebell Clubhouse at 10:00 a.m.”
Then, Hailey passed the message to Chester.
After breakfast, Eliza changed into a set of clothes and put on heavy makeup.
Once she arrived at the private room of the clubhouse, she waited for 15 minutes before Chester turned up. The man walked in with his hands in his pockets and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his handsome face, looking decent and elegant.
Eliza hated how he behaved like a decent person when he was not. Even so, she obediently poured him a cup of coffee. ” Young Master Jewell, I have specially prepared your favorite espresso for you.” Chester glanced at the cup of espresso before his eyes landed on Eliza’s face. Her heavy makeup and thick, fake eyelashes made him sick. “Eliza, you think you’re all that now, huh? How dare you trick me?”
“President Jewell, you think too highly of me.” Eliza said nervously, “If it hadn’t been for Monte’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to prove my innocence.”
“Do you take me for a fool?” Chester felt a strong urge to pinch her chin. However, at the thought of the powder on her face, he paused, his eyes grim. “I gave you 100 million dollars so that you didn’t have to compensate for terminating the contract. Now, you’re free and have regained your reputation. Eliza, what a brilliant plot you hatched. It seems like I’ve underestimated you.”
Eliza deliberately trembled under his gaze. “I really didn’t think too far when I suggested terminating the contract.”
“Be honest with me. I want you to tell the truth.” Chester’s eyes were filled with impatience, “why was Monte willing to stand up for you? Is there a secret deal between the two of you? Or is it between you and someone else?”
Eliza suddenly lifted her head and stared at him in fear.
“Eliza, did you sleep with Monte or another man behind my back?” Chester could no longer contain his fury and pinched her chin. “Don’t you forget that you’re my woman.”
Although he must admit that he was done with Eliza, he was under no illusions about Eliza’s beauty and fame as many wealthy men had their eyes on her.
At the thought that she had slept with another man, Chester boiled with rage as he felt that he had been cuckolded.
“Is there something wrong with my memory?” Eliza shrugged and laughed. ” Young Master Jewell, I clearly remember you saying I don’t deserve to be your woman. Everyone said I was just a tool for you to satisfy your needs. Besides, this isn’t your first time getting a woman. If you want a woman to be with you willingly, you have to contribute something, but I don’t see you contributing anything. All I see is that you keep suppressing me.”
“Finally, you’re telling the truth.” Chester narrowed his eyes grimly.
“Am I wrong in saying that?
A furious yet miserable look washed over Eliza’s face. “When I was with you, I had no house or car, and I couldn’t even have my own studio. Not only did I have nothing, but I also signed the company’s worst contract. When I made money, the company took most of it and left me with a measly sum. In fact, all the best resources of the company go to Cindy. Sadly, I earned so much money for the company, yet you could use me as a sacrificial lamb for the company at any time.
“Oh, by the way, I even had to sleep with you and lose all my dignity. In that case, does the number of people I’ve slept with make a difference? “
“So you really did sleep with Monte?”
There was a hint of fury in Chester’s eyes, as though he was looking at the dirtiest thing in the world. He even tightened his grip-
Eliza’s chin hurt so much that it felt like it was going to break, and she did not hold back her tears from running down her face.
She looked disgusting with her tears mixed with the powder.
Chester let go of her and took a piece of tissue paper to wipe his dirty hand. After that, he tossed the paper onto her with a bad temper. “Eliza, you’re f*cking dirty.”
“What can I do?”
Eliza forced a smile. “Since you don’t want to help me, I only have myself to rely on. President Jewell, did forcing me to sleep with you make it all too easy for you that, especially since you didn’t spend any money with me at all, you think of me as cheap? No matter how nasty your attitude was toward the women you previously slept with, you would at least give them what they deserved, right?”
Truth be told, she would be throwing insults at Chester if she was not trying to avoid having a falling-out with him.
It was not a wise choice to have a falling out with him at this point.
“With your contract terminated, you’ve become much bolder.” Chester’s lips curled into a sneer. “But I have to admit that I do see you as cheap.”
“In that case, I can find someone who doesn’t see me as cheap. You’re not the only man in this world, President Jewell.”
Eliza’s words infuriated Chester.
He glared at her. “Eliza, are you really unconcerned about your subordinates’ lives?”
Eliza took a deep breath and suddenly choked up. “President Jewell, don’t go too far.”
Chester sneered and looked unbothered.
Eliza blinked and took a few deep breaths, trying to hold back her tears to make herself look aggrieved. “President Jewell, I don’t have to tell you how many crazy things Sarah has done as all her evil deeds were presented in court. Before I asked my subordinates to kidnap her, I never thought that Sarah would one day be given a fair trial. I was under the impression that that day would never come, so I kidnapped Sarah to take revenge on behalf of Aunty Jennifer and Charity.”
“It’s fine that you don’t feel guilty toward me. But what about charity and the Neeson family? If you hadn’t insisted that Charity was the culprit, your attorney wouldn’t have sent her to jail, and she wouldn’t have died.
“Those subordinates took revenge for Charity, yet you’re using them to threaten me? Don’t you find yourself inhumane?”
Eliza widened her eyes and stared at Chester. Her black, clear eyes were filled with disbelief and sorrow.
Chester’s expression had turned ghastly a long time ago.
Ever since he met Sarah and found out many truths, Charity weighed heavily in his mind.
He used to think Charity loved him when he was younger only because she had an ulterior motive.
However, it only now struck him that he had misunderstood Charity all along.
Late at night, Charity’s death was like a needle that pricked deep in his heart.
Chester lit a cigarette and laughed all of a sudden. “Since you’ve called me cold blooded, why do you think I still feel guilty?”
“If you hadn’t helped Sarah bully the Neeson family, would they have died?” Eliza said with a hoarse voice, “I didn’t know a lot of things back then, but Cate has told me everything.”
Chester walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He finished smoking the cigarette with his back facing her before he said, ” Come back to the company, and I’ll free your subordinates. Also, you don’t have to sleep with me anymore.”
He was sick of sleeping with her anyway.
Especially at the thought that she had slept with another man, Chester felt utterly disgusted.
