Damn, Eliza! she could actually drive him into a corner.
What on earth was she trying to do?
An hour later, Attorney Larsen came over. ” President Jewell, I’m so sorry. This case has caused huge trouble and a terrible impact. After trying to think of many ways, I’m still unable to bail you out.”
At the thought that the netizens were all bashing him, Chester had never felt so embarrassed and guilty in his life.
“Spend some money to take them down from the trending searches for me,” he bellowed with a deep voice.
“They can’t be taken down.” Attorney Larsen forced a smile. “Anyone with a phone in Australia would have known about this matter. Many people are paying close attention to it, so it’s impossible to suppress. What’s more, the scandals Jewell Corporation was previously involved in have aroused the attention of the relevant department. The investigation team will investigate Jewell Corporation tomorrow. Currently, Chairman Jewell is busy looking into the company’s affair in case any issues arise.”
Chester was momentarily shocked. Then, he removed his glasses and hurled them at the table.
His handsome face was grim.
Attorney Larsen let out a sigh. “As an important figure in Jewell Corporation, your scandal has ruined Jewell Corporation’s reputation and led to dissatisfaction toward Jewell Corporation among the public. The company’s competitors, in particular, have sprung up like mushrooms. There are also many internal problems within the company, and because of that, the board of directors started an argument in the company today.”
Chester drew a long, deep breath. “Given how bad the company’s condition is, I must go out and handle it as soon as possible. Can you bail me out first?”
“I can’t bail you out. The higher-ups are keeping an eye on this case.” Attorney Larsen kept quiet for a while before saying with mixed feelings, “Releasing you will cause public outrage. There’s a large crowd outside the police station, and they’re all Eliza’s fans who have grouped together. Don’t look down on an A-list artist, she has tens of millions of fans. Besides, she gets on very well with people.”
“Eliza said I forced her, but does she have conclusive evidence?” Chester said furiously, “Look for the loopholes to refute all her claims.”
“President Jewell, do you have any recordings or videos of you being intimate with her when both of you were in a relationship?” Attorney Larsen asked, “As long as we have one piece of evidence, we can refute her claims. It can be a recording of her threatening you to pay her, but you didn’t do it.”
“…No. Who would record such a boring thing?” Chester said in distress, “She took her belongings on the day I made her leave. There’s a surveillance camera in the elevator.”
“The thing is, she donated the money that she got from selling the handbags under your name. This means that you allowed her to sell them.” Attorney Larsen frowned. “President Jewell, you shouldn’t have approached that woman early on. Since the day you forced her, she has started harboring hatred against you. She has secretly gathered evidence to destroy Felix Media and sue you.”
Chester fell quiet.
In fact, he had thought about it.
He had always been the one tricking other women, and never did he imagine that he would one day be tricked by Eliza.
Hah.
The lesson he learned from Eliza was indeed interesting.
Eliza said she wanted to stop him from looking down on women.
This time, he fell for the trick.
He underestimated Eliza’s hatred toward him.
Once one became cruel, they could succeed in anything.
He hated Eliza yet admired her a little.
“If… we get Shaun to handle this issue, it might take a turn for the better. He’s the most brilliant lawyer in the industry who can distort facts.” Attorney Larsen said probingly.
Chester threw a conflicted look at him. “If this issue gets exposed, Cate will surely hate me to the core. Getting Shaun to help me will only cause a falling-out between the couple. Considering Shaun has finally made up with Cate, I’d better not make things difficult for him.”
“But-“
“You said you’ll be able to come up with the best solution,” Chester interrupted him.
“After this, the police will file an indictment. If you pay a larger compensation and apologize with a good attitude, you’ll be in jail for three months at most.” Attorney Larsen said helplessly, ” If you don’t go to jail, Jewell Corporation will be hit even worse. The public will say that Jewell Corporation abuses its power to cover up its mistakes. Then, even the court won’t be able to help you.”
Chester slowly leaned backward.
The silence seemed to last for ages before he said, “okay. Keep a watchful eye on the company for me. Nothing is allowed to go wrong. My dad isn’t capable enough.”
“Don’t worry, President Jewell. Not only is Chairman Jewell incapable, but other people in Jewell Corporation are also pretty much the same. We’ll keep a watchful eye on them, and no one will dare to act unscrupulously.”
After Chester nodded, a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
¡®There will be ample time to settle the scores with Eliza.’
One week later, the judge sentenced Chester to three months in jail and made him compensate one billion dollars to Eliza.
The astronomical amount caused heated debate among the public again, and some people began to make sarcastic remarks.
[How many zeros are there in one billion? I can never make so much money in my life.]
[Somehow, I feel that Eliza is making a lot of money. Although she’s an A-list artist, some artists can never make so much money in their lives. She could easily have it after sleeping with Chester for some time. ]
[All of a sudden, I want to be like Eliza and have Chester compensate me.]
[Are you guys out of your mind? Does Eliza care about the money? All she wants is justice.]
[With our help, she has managed to earn one billion dollars. She’s now ridiculously rich.]
[All I can say is A-list artists can get ridiculously rich by sleeping with others.]
Amid the heated discussion among the netizens, an announcement of a donation was posted from Eliza’s studio the next day. [Eliza has donated one billion dollars to the schools and children in poor, rural areas. She hopes to contribute to the nation by giving the children a good education. At the same time, Eliza is going to the village to personally supervise the project operation to ensure that the money is utilized wisely.]
Overnight, the Internet was filled with a lot of positive comments about Eliza.
[Boo-hoo. For those jealous of Eliza, where are you now? Eliza doesn’t even care about money.]
[Damn. I admire Eliza so much. I salute her for giving one billion away so easily.]
[Haha. Those influencers and well-known enterprises should learn from her. Could they ever bear to part with one billion dollars? Anyway, Eliza will be my idol from now on.]
Meanwhile, Mireya was watching Eliza pack her luggage in the villa, and her heart ached for Eliza. “Say, did you have to donate everything just like that? No one would criticize you if you kept a few hundred million dollars for yourself.” “You’re oversimplifying things. One billion dollars is too attractive, and that was a trap Chester set for me. Don’t you get it?” Eliza laughed as if it was nothing. “Besides, there are many poor areas around. Helping others is a good thing.”
“Mireya, Eliza is right.”
Cate’s pretty gaze was filled with a mix of feelings. “Lizzie, I realize that I underestimated you back then. You’re much more brilliant than me. To be able to throw caution to the wind and deal with Chester like that, who else can do it apart from you?”
“Yeah. If it were me, I wouldn’t have the courage.” Mireya secretly sighed. Hardly any woman would dare to confess that they were forced upon and release so many recordings.
“I don’t care how others see me.” Eliza lifted her head. As the morning sunlight shone on her fair face through the curtains, her dark and determined eyes revealed a trace of unparalleled strength.
Cate and Mireya were so amazed that they were momentarily speechless.
]
“Lizzie, in fact, you don’t need to personally supervise the project in the village.” Cate was a little concerned and worried for Eliza. “That place has a strong uv ray and poor living environment.”
“Yeah. If you’re bored, you can come and manage the company with US.” Mireya said openly, “Why don’t we invest in another project or go on a trip with you?”
She thought since everyone knew about Eliza’s issue, Eliza must feel terrible despite Chester having received the justice he deserved.
“Cate and I just returned from a holiday.” Eliza rose to her feet and hugged Mireya and Cate. “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine and stronger than any of you. I just want to explore the world a little and do some charity work. Besides, since I’ve decided to donate the money, I sure hope that the money will be used on the needy and not taken by the middleman.”
“It’s good to do charity. In that case, Freycatheli will donate 500 million dollars as well.” Cate said with a grin, “We can’t spend all the money we’re earning anyway, so we might as well help the needy.”
“Eliza, remember to take care of your skin. Don’t comeback with a tan,” Mireya teased. “Come home soon. We’ll be waiting for you to come back to Canberra and have fun with us.”
“Alright.”
Eliza did not tell anyone what time she was leaving.
Before dawn broke, she took a taxi to the train station.
As she was about to enter the station, someone suddenly walked up to her from behind and helped her with her luggage. ” Let me take it for you.”
A deep voice sounded beside her.
Eliza looked back, only to meet a pair of attractive eyes.
