Halfway through his breakfast, his phone rang. After he picked it up, his face darkened. ” Alright. I’ll head there in a while.”
“What happened?” Eliza deliberately asked.
“None of your business.”
Chester did not look at her, and his tone was nasty.
Ten minutes later, Chester got changed and left.
He drove to the hospital, and when he arrived at the door of the emergency room, his father, Hunter Jewell, roared furiously, “As I said, you shouldn’t treat Cindy unreasonably. Look, she’s not even picking up my call now. I don’t care. You better get her here to donate blood to your mom right now. The doctor said this matter can’t drag on any longer.”
“Where’s Cindy?” Chester turned around and asked his assistant.
His assistant said with mixed feelings, ” Chairman Jewell had someone contact Cindy, but she rejected him. She even went to the police station and refused to come out.”
Chester snorted and finally saw the light. Given that Cindy was hiding in the police station, he would not be able to do anything to her even if he planned to send some people to catch her.
Hunter said furiously, “Chester, I don’t care if you’re merciless in other times, but you can’t let your mom die.”
Unbothered about him, Chester turned around and dialed Cindy’s number.
“Chester…” Cindy’s soft voice rang.
“You’re quite brilliant.” Chester said with a laugh, “Cindy, I know you’re hiding in the police station, but can you hide there forever?”
Cindy gritted her teeth. “I have no choice. Now, I don’t have a job, and I get teased wherever I go. Chester, you can’t possibly ask me to sacrifice to save your mother.”
“You haven’t learned your lesson, huh? How dare you threaten me,” Chester said gravely.
“Chester, I’m just an insignificant person to you. Admittedly, I shouldn’t have brought Rosabella to see your parents, but I was completely unaware of those affairs between Rosabella and Sarah.”
While sobbing, Cindy said, “I really know my mistake, and I’ll certainly listen to you in the future. You can look for other women, and it’ll be fine with me. okay?”
“You still want to be with me, huh?” Chester scoffed. “With your looks, do you think you deserve to be with me?”
Cindy was frustrated as Chester’s words served as a blow to her. “I admit… I’m not as good-looking as Eliza… but my blood… is more worthy than hers, isn’t it?”
“You’re finally grown cleverer this time.” Chester let out a cold laugh. “It’s quite impossible to be with me again. I won’t be interested in you even if you took off your clothes in front of me. I gave you a chance, but you pushed your luck. So, I’m not going to beat around the bush. Cindy, I’m giving you the last chance. If you insist on forcing me to marry you, I’ll have numerous ways to torture you after marriage. You can continue to stay in the police station if you have the guts.”
Cindy’s face paled.
She was no fool. If she were, she would not have come this far.
After some contemplation, she gritted her teeth. “I want my career and resources. If you make me an award-winning actress, I’m willing to give my blood to Madam Jewell.”
“Okay.”
Chester said composedly, “Come over right now.”
About ten minutes later, Cindy was urgently sent to the hospital.
Chester was standing in the corridor, when Cindy saw Chester’s handsome face that left her breathless, she got quite excited. However, his gaze made her shudder.
“Cindy, hurry up and come in. Your aunt is waiting for you to save her.” Hunter quickly took her in.
Only after Cindy went in did Hunter finally heave a sigh of relief. He hated the sight of Chester.
“Look. If you’d married Cindy earlier, things like this wouldn’t have happened.” Hunter said in a huff, “You’re a playboy, aren’t you? Why can’t you keep another woman and save your mom at the same time? Can Eliza transfer blood to your mom?”
“…Contact me again when Mom’s alright.” Chester stuck his hands in his pockets and left impassively.
Hunter was exasperated. He had no idea why he had given birth to such a cold-blooded, merciless son.
Chester most probably took after his grandfather. Anyway, he did not take after Hunter.
Eliza had a photoshoot for a brand this morning, and only in the afternoon was she free to join the crew.
Before the shooting, a makeup artist was helping Eliza to apply makeup.
At that moment, Heather personally took two cups of juice over. “Miss Robbins, I’m treating everyone to some juice. These are for you and your assistant.”
“Thank you.”
Although Eliza thought that juice could quench her thirst, she did not really like it. However, since Heather had treated her to the drink, she was too shy to turn it down despite her dislike for Heather.
After giving Eliza the juice, Heather was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she sat on the couch at the back. “Miss Robbins, have you watched * The Treasured Voice’?”
“I don’t have the time to watch it, but I’ve heard of it,” Eliza answered nonchalantly.
The makeup artist said, ” ¡®The Treasured Voice ‘ is quite popular. I heard the cover songs have managed to make it to the Top 10. They’re very well-liked.”
“Yeah.” Heather’s mouth tugged as she said, ” In fact, I debuted as an idol before I ventured into acting. The company promised to promote me and have me as a guest in the program, which will allow me to make an appearance two to three times. Yet today, I was informed that the company had selected Cindy to be the guest. How infuriating.”
Everyone in the entertainment industry was aware of the relationship between Cindy and Chester. It was only yesterday that the makeup artist found out that Eliza was with Chester.
Now that Cindy was given the resources, the makeup artist instantly fell quiet.
Eliza asked indifferently, “Is that so?”
Heather meant to provoke Eliza. However, at the sight of her indifferent look, Heather said with dissatisfaction, “Miss Robbins, I heard the senior executives in the company had a meeting this morning, and they were planning to help Cindy make a comeback. Do you know that already? The first step is to have her save her reputation through ¡®The Treasured Voice’. The matter involving her plagiarism is now old news, and the netizens tend to forget things easily too. I suppose her next step would be to act in a TV drama or film. However, there are many people in the company. Even a small TV drama has to be divided by many people. Alas…”
After pausing for a moment, Heather covered her mouth and chuckled strangely. “Anyhow, you won’t be affected, Miss Robbins. I was just surprised. Didn’t President Jewell throw her out? But why… Miss Robbins, do you know anything about it?”
“I’m not sure.”
Eliza’s expression remained the same. ” Heather, it seems like you want to get this clear. Well, let me call President Jewell and tell him that you’re curious…”
“Hey, I’m not curious. I was just saying. Continue with your makeup. I’ll take my leave first.”
Heather was worried that Eliza would really call Chester, so she scurried away.
After her makeup was done, the makeup artist left. Only then did Eliza dial Hailey’s number. ” Hailey, did the company arrange for Cindy to make a comeback?”
“Yes, it’s true…” Hailey said with difficulty, “I was about to let you know. We were supposed to have you act in the drama that we took up for you earlier. But now, Cindy’s manager has stepped in and said that the period drama should be given to Cindy.”
Eliza’s expression shifted a little. “You should know that I’m planning to change my genres through that drama.”
No matter how well she acted and how well- liked she was in the entertainment industry, she would only act in idol dramas, since she had finally gained a foothold in the film industry through a film last year, she planned to act in a period drama to gain more recognition from the audience regarding her acting skills.
An actor in a period drama would usually be seen as capable, and no matter how old they got, they did not have to worry about not getting to act in dramas anymore.
Hailey sighed. “I thought so too, but Cindy’s manager said that Cindy’s image isn’t as good as before. Nobody’s willing to pay to watch her act in idol dramas or large-scale films, so it’s best for her to act in a period drama. Although her acting skills are average, President Daley said he’s willing to pay for her to further study and brush up on her acting skills.”
“Where is Cindy going to further study?” Eliza was curious.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Hailey replied, “Film studies at the University of Canberra.”
Eliza sighed. “That’s a good place. Not only has it produced many award-winning actors and actresses, but the professors in the field are also well-regarded. It seems like the company is insistent on making her an award winning actress.”
? ¨¬¨¬
Hailey felt helpless.
As Eliza’s manager, Hailey actually knew a lot more. It was impossible for an ordinary person to do film studies at the University of Canberra if they did not take an entrance exam. The university agreed on it only because Jewell Corporation was willing to invest in a library on the campus.
Even Eliza was not qualified for that.
She could not understand what was so great about Cindy. First, Cindy plagiarised someone’s work. Then, she was known to have a bad character, thus ruining her reputation, she even caused a huge loss to the company due to contract termination. Yet, Chester was going to support her now. Hailey felt that it was unfair to Eliza, but she did not dare to say it as she was worried that Eliza would be upset.
Eliza said, “Hailey, I’m not going to give up the period drama. I’ve seen the script, and it’s wonderful. I need a drama right now to strengthen my position in the TV industry.”
Hailey’s head hurt. “Eliza, the company wants me to persuade you to give Cindy the drama, and they’ll make it up to you through other resources.”
