She called Shedrick to inform him of the matter.
After hearing her words, shedrick was dumbfounded. “Do you mean President Jewell climbed the wall of your house, ended up getting injured from an animal trap, and was sent to the hospital?”
After hearing what Eliza said, shedrick was dumbfounded. “Do you mean President Jewell climbed the wall of your house, got injured from the animal trap, and was sent to the hospital?”
“I didn’t mean for him to get hurt. As you know, given my popularity, there’ll usually be haters harassing me, like the last time those haters ruined my car. I’m doing this to protect myself. Who knew President Jewell… would be so lawless?”
Eliza grumbled glumly.
Shedrick was at a loss for words.
Oh well. He actually thought that she was, to some extent, right.
“Don’t tell me that I’m unreasonable. I’ll be transferring one million dollars to you to compensate for President Jewell’s medical fees and mental damage caused. I believe that should be enough for him, and can you remind him not to try to blackmail me? If I’m forced to a corner, I’ll share the issue online and consult a lawyer.” Right after that, Eliza hung up the call mercilessly.
Shedrick looked at his phone and gasped.
How arrogant and bold of Eliza. By the time Shedrick rushed to the hospital half an hour later, Chester was lying on the hospital bed, and his right leg was wrapped with a thick bandage.
However, Chester was in a foul mood. His handsome face was as cold as an ice sculpture, and the air around him was chilly.
“Where’s Eliza? Get her to come in.” Chester, who had always been calm no matter how unpleasant the situation was, had never been so furious.
Perhaps it was because no one had ever dared to hurt him, especially if the other party was a woman.
He even thought shedrick rushed over because Eliza was too afraid to come alone. That was why she asked Shedrick to come along.
If Eliza wanted Shedrick to plead with Chester on her behalf, she could dream on. a ))
Shedrick was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, his mouth twitched. “I didn’t see Eliza.”
“What? She didn’t come?” Chester was trembling with rage. “Contact her now and get her to come to me within 20 minutes. Otherwise, she can forget about staying in the entertainment industry.”
Shedrick’s head hurt. Nevertheless, he walked away from Chester and dialed Eliza’s number. “I think you should come over to pay President Jewell the compensation and apologize to him face to face. I’ll try to speak for you, and we’ll let the matter rest.”
“I won’t go. All I wanted was to protect myself. Is that wrong?”
Shedrick asked in a huff, “Do you want to be banned from the industry?”
“I’ve thought about it. I have a piece of land in my hometown, so even if I get banned, I’ll return to my hometown and farm,” Eliza said helplessly.
Shedrick was speechless.
She had a piece of land?
Was she joking?
It made Shedrick a little confused about the entertainment industry now.
After Shedrick returned to the ward, Chester asked gravely, “So what did she say?”
“Uh… Eliza has transferred one million dollars to me, claiming that the amount is to compensate for your medical fees and mental damage caused,” Shedrickreplied fearfully.
“One million dollars?” Chester was so exasperated that he laughed. “How generous of her. But is my leg only worth one million dollars? Get me a lawyer. I want to sue her.”
Shedrick kindly reminded him, “President Jewell, Eliza is a public figure. If this incident gets out of hand, other people will know that you climbed into her house…”
Jewell Corporation might not be able to accept such a scandal involving their president.
Chester’s face instantly darkened like the night sky. “I refuse to believe I can’t deal with that woman. Let those in the entertainment industry know that whoever takes Eliza’s side will mean they’re going against me, and all of Jewell Corporation’s medical resources won’t be available to them.”
Shedrick was speechless.
That was indeed cruel.
After all, it was natural for people to fall sick nowadays.
However, Chester had not used that tactic for a long while now. By the looks of it, his boundaries had been challenged.
“President Jewell, Eliza is in the wrong, but she’s only protecting herself because she was injured by some haters a while back. It’s understandable for her to place an animal trap in her house.”
“Why are you standing up for her?” Chester suddenly asked coldly. “Could you be interested in her? Oh, by the way, I heard you privately gave her 50 million dollars when the company terminated its contract with her. “
Although it was a hot day, Shedrick felt a chill run down his back. “Don’t get me wrong. I gave her 50 million dollars because I did think it was the company’s fault, and I felt a little guilty about it. As for why I’m standing up for her, our company has been involved in so much scandal that a lot of people dare not work with our artists. Eliza is the only one with a good image and can make money for the company.”
“Our company can still operate without one artist. If it can’t, there’s no need for you to continue your role as the president,” Chester warned. Shedrick got so afraid that he dared not speak up for Eliza anymore.
It felt suffocating to be caught in the middle.
“Tell her to kneel and beg me when she realizes her mistake,” Chester instructed with a grim voice.
He had never lost out so terribly before.
What was more, he could still remember Eliza’s attitude when he got hurt.
Soon after Shedrick left, Madam Jewell and Cindy came over, and Cindy had brought some chicken soup with her.
“What happened? How did your leg get trapped in an animal trap? Who did that?” A pained expression washed over Madam Jewell’s face. Despite her son’s coldness, he was still her biological son.
“I’ll handle this issue myself.” Chester was lying on the bed without his glasses, and although his face was a little pale, he still looked handsome.
Cindy’s heart skipped a few beats as she looked at him.
It was her first time seeing Chester looking like that. Although he was toxic, he had a charm that attracted women to him.
“Chester, I’ve prepared some chicken soup for you. It’ll help with your recovery.” Cindy placed the soup on the table and ladled out one bowl for him.
Chester fixed his eyes on her. The longer he looked at her, the more infuriated he felt.
Supposedly, Eliza, the culprit, should be the one doing that for him.
“Who told you to come?” Chester sounded cold and rude.
Cindy’s pretty face paled.
“Son, why do you have to be so harsh with your words?” Madam Jewell glared at his son. “Cindy and I were shopping when she heard something happened to you, so we immediately came over.”
After a short pause, Madam Jewell said, ” You look like you need someone to take care of you since your leg is injured, so I’ll get Cindy to stay with you. “
“Madam Jewell, it’ll be my honor to take care of Young Master Jewell, ” Cindy instantly said. She must grab the chance as men were weakest when they were hurt.
“But I don’t want you to take care of me.” Chester could not care less about how she felt. “Cindy, do you have nursing knowledge? Or can you carry me? You know nothing, and you can’t sing or act well either. You’ll make me hate you more if you stay.”
His words were too harsh.
Hurt by Chester’s words, Cindy’s eyes reddened.
Chester’s mood worsened. “Why are you crying? I’ve made even nastier remarks at Eliza, but she has never behaved like you. You can’t take criticism, nor can you sing or act. Besides donating blood, what else can you do?”
“Chester, how can you say that?” Madam Jewell’s eyes widened. His son had good looks, yet his mouth seemed filled with poison.
“I can be worse than that. Would you like to try?” Chester asked sarcastically.
Chester lifted his head mockingly. “Now that my leg is injured, am I supposed to entertain you both with a smile? It’s fine since you’re my mom, but who is she to receive the same treatment?”
Madam Jewell was so angry that she nearly felt a pain in her chest. “We’re just concerned about you, and Cindy is my lifesaver.”
“Yeah. For your sake, I’ve given her all the resources she wants, yet she’s still not content. Does she want me to marry her and be nice to her too?”
A taunting look washed over Chester’s face. “If not for the fact that you need her blood, would she be able to stand before me and make demands over and over again?” “You…”
“No worries, Madam Jewell.” Cindy stopped Madam Jewell and forced a smile on her face. “Young Master Jewell just got injured, so it’s normal that he’s in a bad mood. I’ll take my leave now and come to visit him another day.”
