Was Chester crazy?
“I think you haven’t touched Charity before, so you can’t answer my question.” Chester playfully blew a mouthful of smoke in Max’s direction.
Max was so furious that he immediately grabbed Chester’s collar while the veins on the fist of his other hand bulged.
“Max, stop.”
Charity’s cold voice suddenly sounded from behind. Chester cocked his head slightly as he looked toward the garden behind the gates to see Charity walking over on the rock path, she was wearing a white nightgown that reached her knees with a loose gray cardigan over it. Her short hair was slightly messy from the wind blowing. Under the moonlight and street lights, she looked like she just stepped out of a painting.
Chester was, in fact, familiar with every part of her body.
However, seeing her walking over at that moment, he suddenly found her unfamiliar. He even thought she was beautiful with such casual clothes.
People were just weird sometimes.
Charity clearly used to be a woman with whom Chester had sex multiple times and could have it any time he wanted.
Yet, he suddenly had a newfound interest in her.
It even made him drive over in the middle of the night.
He had never felt that same urge aside from when he was with Charity back then.
“Come. You can hit me on his nose.”
Chester pointed to his tall nose bridge. “Do it harder. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to let everyone know that the leader of the secret guards protecting the prime minister got into a fight for the sake of a female celebrity. It’ll be interesting.”
Max had been on the battlefield before, so the more Chester provoked him, the calmer he got.
However, with his pride hurt before the woman he liked, his good-looking face turned as dark as night.
“Why should he hit a sc*m like you? Max, you have a promising future. There’s no need to be given a demerit because of a person like that.” Charity held Max’s hands, which were clenched into fists.
Max stiffened.
It was his first time realizing that a woman’s hand could be so gentle and soft.
It made his breath quicken and his heart race.
“Eliza…” Chester’s gaze landed on their hands that were holding one another’s. His eyes were cold. “Are you really in a relationship with him?”
“What else?” Charity looked toward him indifferently. “People have to move on.”
“What about Monte?” Chester said, “I saw you two whispering during the charity event last time, looking as if you two were getting back together. However, it looks like I was wrong. Let me call him to ask him about it.”
At that, Chester took out his phone.
Charity furrowed her brows.
If Chester really told Monte that Charity had a boyfriend, it would disrupt her plans.
Max gave Charity a quick glance. He saw that her brows were knitted together into a tight frown.
He knew her too well.
“Stop…” Max withdrew his hand and stopped Chester.
“What’s wrong? You don’t mind your girlfriend getting too close to her ex boyfriend?” Chester smiled vaguely. “Let me remind you that Eliza’s first man was Monte. She loved him to the extent that she attempted suicide before.”
Max smiled bitterly.
He did mind, of course, he would mind.
However, he did not want to put Charity in a difficult spot and affect her plans.
“Let him call Monte. He can call him as many times as he wants.” Charity suddenly looked toward Chester indifferently. “You can do whatever you like. I no longer want to be controlled by anyone, especially you, Chester. You have to be clear that we don’t have a relationship where you can control me. Actually, I’m quite aware of why you came here.”
“Oh, tell me about it.” Chester had a playful expression.
“It’s because you’ve never suffered such a major setback in front of a woman before. You might have a little admiration and hatred toward me. You might be eager to conquer me now. Compared to just getting revenge on a woman, conquering her and then destroying her cruelly gives you more satisfaction and fulfills the twisted feelings in your heart.
Charity stared at him calmly. “You even treat me as your private property.”
Chester was taken aback. His gaze gradually darkened. “Your analysis is pretty interesting.”
“Chester, you have to accept a fact. I’m not the Eliza you could simply control in the past or any other woman. I’m Reborn.
From the day I truly started competing against you, I knew that your confidence stemmed from Jewell Corporation.
However, Jewell Corporation is no longer what it was in the past. I’m not a woman that you can easily offend anymore. Your old methods no longer work on me.” Charity snapped her fingers as she spoke.
Steven and other people walked out of the courtyard.
Chester was biting his cigarette that had almost finished smoking. His expression was cold. “You have people with you, but do you think I don’t?
“Are you sure you want to create a huge commotion just after being released from prison?” Charity reminded him, “I don’t mind going to prison for a few months. I’m unemployed anyway. But you… Can you still afford to wait?”
“…Okay.”
Chester stared at Charity for what felt like a century.
He took two steps backward. His slender finger pointed toward Max. He smiled. ” You like her?”
Max frowned.
A hint of hostility flashed across Chester’s brows. “You’d better stay away from her. If not, you’ll regret it.”
After speaking, he got in the car and left.
Max let out a tsk as he watched the car’s leaving silhouette.
When he turned his head, he saw Charity frowning slightly.
“Charity, you couldn’t possibly have believed his nonsense, right?” Max said, ” Don’t worry. I’m not a pushover.”
“Chester isn’t that simple of a person.” Charity’s gaze was complicated. “You shouldn’t keep appearing by my side. Being targeted by Chester isn’t a good thing.”
“I don’t care. If worse comes to worst, I’ll quit my job,” Max said without a care. ” With my fighting skills, I can come to you and be your bodyguard, right?”
Charity was speechless. “You don’t want to work for the prime minister and get a promotion but want to come to my side and be a bodyguard instead? Aren’t you afraid of angering your parents to death?”
“You’re richer than the prime minister,” Max said with a smile. “Money talks.”
He had a good point there. She could not retort to him at all.
At that moment, Max’s phone rang. After picking up the call, his expression darkened.
“I have to follow the prime minister overseas tomorrow. I need to go back and make preparations beforehand.”
Max spoke frustratedly.
“Didn’t you say you’re on leave tomorrow?” Charity’s eyes gleamed.
“That’s right. There were last-minute changes.” Max’s gaze was strange. “I even asked you to go shopping for clothes with me. It seems like it can’t be done.”
“Let’s wait until you return.”
After seeing Max off, Charity received Chester’s message very soon. [If you have Max’s best interests at heart, keep a distance from him.] As expected…
Charity had a vague feeling that the matter was related to Chester.
She did not expect it…
