However, since he had just gotten out of jail today, he should be quite busy to realize that ten percent of the Jewell Corporation’s shares now belonged to her.
That was particularly interesting.
Chester hardly ever frowned, but he felt that the woman’s gaze was odd.
“By the way, didn’t you say you were quite rich? Why didn’t you get anything at the banquet today? Do you need me to buy you something?” Chester changed the subject.
“I’m sorry. Too many people would like to spend on me tonight, so if you’d like to buy me something, please join the queue.”
After that, Charity walked past him arrogantly in her heels.
A fragrant scent wafted past him.
Chester felt something in him stir.
He looked back and clutched the woman’s wrist. Then, he tugged her toward him.
Although his tone was extremely gentle, his eyes were icy. “Eliza, you’re pretty arrogant in front of me, huh? Do you think I’ve forgotten the fact that you sent me to jail?”
“No.”
Charity looked at him indifferently. “It’s normal for one to go to jail after doing something wrong. If you’re unhappy about it, you can go to the judge and police or complain to the prime minister. Since you’re well-connected, someone might be willing to accept your complaint. Then, the country might speak up for you, claiming that forcing yourself on a woman isn’t illegal.”
Chester was at a loss for words.
“Keep it up. Work hard and be the pioneer. You might be able to go down in history, and many men will thank you,” charity said with a sincere expression.
Chester laughed in exasperation.
If he believed her, not only would the public lash out at him, but the Jewell family’s ancestors would also haunt him from the graves.
“Why are you laughing?” Charity blinked her eyes. “Do you not believe me or yourself? You believe you can dominate everything, don’t you? Something is right as long as you think it is. Similarly, something is wrong if you think it is. You think no one can turn against you, so what’s with fooling around with women? To you, they’re sl*ts who have no self- respect, and by fooling around with them, you show them the respect they need and think highly of them. Could it be that… you don’t even know what shame is?”
After uttering the last sentence, Charity paused for a moment. The last few words were like a tight slap in Chester’s face, and the pain was burning.
He tightened the grip on his hand, and the smile on his handsome face was replaced with infuriation.
“Fine, Eliza. You understand me very well, huh? In that case, why don’t you guess how I’ll treat you later?” Chester asked ferociously as he gnashed his teeth.
“I’ll play it by ear. Having said that, I never regret my actions.” Charity’s pretty eyes were indifferent and cold.
The two of them were so close to each other that Chester’s figure reflected in her eyes. In the face of those courageous and familiar eyes, Chester let go of her hand. ” Very well, Eliza. Remember what you said today.”
“I’ve always had a very good memory.” With that, Charity turned around without looking back and walked away elegantly in her high heels.
Chester stared at her back, his eyes filled with admiration, hatred, interest, excitement, and other emotions that he did not even realize.
No woman had ever piqued his interest that way.
It made him feel like torturing her slowly, yet he really wanted to press her down on the bed and conquer her.
Although he had once been with Eliza, he realized he had never truly had her.
After Chester arrived at the banquet that night, everyone started to be mindful of their behavior.
During the auction, Chester and Eliza were two seats away from each other.
Everyone was secretly watching the two of them more than paying attention to the auction.
The movie queen, who was seated between the two of them, secretly glanced at Charity, who was munching on nuts.
She admired charity so much…
How was Charity in the mood to eat nuts at a moment like that?
She was no doubt the woman who sent Chester to jail.
Just then, a famous painting was being auctioned on stage.
Charity suddenly raised her card. “Two million.”
Chester soon raised his card as well. “Five million.”
The audience gasped.
However, it was as expected of the Jewell family. Only a man with deep pockets could set a high price just like that.
Subsequently, the audience turned their eyes to Charity, who put down her card and continued munching on the nuts.
cheser lifted his leg and looked at Eliza with a smile. “Are you not going to bid anymore?”
“It’s too expensive. I’m poor.” Charity shook her head calmly.
? ?
Despite having won, Chester suddenly felt that he did not experience the sense of thrill he expected.
What else could he say to her claiming she was poor in such self-confidence, unlike him, who was acting rich even though he was not?
After the auction ended, charity promptly left the venue.
That was when a staff member brought a painting over. “Miss Robbins, this is the painting you bade for. “
“I think you’ve made a mistake. I didn’t manage to bid for it.” At first glance, Charity could recognize that it was the painting Chester bade for.
The staff said, “The bidder’s name written here is yours.”
“Really?” Charity lifted the painting up from the tray. After turning it around twice, she finally raised her hand and hurled it into the trash can beside the door. The painting formed a beautiful arc in the air before it fell into the trash can perfectly.
The staff was dumbfounded for a moment before seeing Charity swing her dress around and left.
Not far away, Chester snorted when he witnessed the scene.
At 10:00 p.m.
As the main character, Chester arrived late at the clubhouse.
Shaun said with a grin, “We’ve been here waiting for you with good food and drinks, and you? As the main character, you couldn’t have shown up earlier, could you?
“Young Master Jewell, I heard you attended the charity event at Janee Hotel.” Young Master Tucker laughed and said, “You even bade for a painting, but it was…”
“News spread fast, huh?” Chester was not irritated as he sat elegantly on the couch.
His expression made Shaun’s head hurt. ” Chester, I advised you, didn’t I? What are you trying to do? Can’t you just let your affair with Eliza rest?”
Instead of answering his question, Chester asked, “Did Eliza invest in a large project? She told me that she was making quite a lot of money and that she could earn tens of billions of dollars every year.”
“What? Tens of billions of dollars?” A wealthy young man beside Chester said, ” The projects these days are very difficult to manage, what project can be so profitable? Young Master Lyons, you’re too much. Why didn’t you count me in?”
“Young Master Lyons, is your wife preparing for a large project?” Someone clicked his tongue and said, “You have such great taste. Your wife is brilliant. She’s so good at investment.”
Speechless, Shaun’s face darkened, “stop talking nonsense. My wife isn’t investing in anything. Considering she’s so busy managing two companies, how does she have time for other things? As for me, I have a lot of lawsuits to handle. Do you think I have the time to deal with more projects?”
“Didn’t Cate mention it to you?” Chester furrowed his brows as he found the matter bizarre.
“No.” Shaun sulked and took two gulps of wine.
“Young Master Lyons, could it be that your wife didn’t tell you?” someone asked mysteriously.
“So what if she didn’t? Everyone has their secrets.” Shaun put down the wine bottle unhappily. “My wife and I can get along well because we focus on our own careers. We respect each other without meddling in each other’s affairs.
“Come on. We were kidding. Don’t take it seriously.” Chester patted Shaun’s shoulder. “It looks like we still don’t know Eliza well enough.”
