His words distressed Shaun. “Can you stop getting yourself involved with Eliza? Jewell Corporation has many issues to deal with, and your competitors keep popping up one after another. Can you put in more time to settle the company’s issues? If you’re really bored, you can treat your patients and perform surgery.”
“Exactly, Young Master Jewell.” Young Master Tucker added, “All you wanted previously was to have Eliza, and you ended up getting yourself in jail. Now, you’re all about taking revenge against her. Be careful not to fall for her.”
“I’ll fall for her?” Chester reacted as though he heard a joke.
Shaun and other people stared at Chester silently.
Chester was such an arrogant person.
Little did he know that the mind was the most difficult thing to control.
Chester had completely overlooked the situation. Today was his first day getting out of jail. He was supposed to be working overtime in the office, visiting the hospital, or perhaps having a meal with his parents.
Yet, what did he do tonight?
Take revenge against Eliza?
The problem was that he even spent five million dollars on Eliza, only for her to throw the drawing into the trash can.
As someone experienced in relationships, Shaun had a feeling that if Chester insisted on being involved with Eliza’s matter, Chester might one day be in great trouble.
Late at night, Shaun took Chester, who was quite drunk, into the car. Then, he reminded Ken, “Send him back, but drive slowly.”
“Thankyou, Young Master Lyons.” Ken nodded. Only after Shaun left did he turn around to look at Chester, whose face was flushed red from the alcohol.
He rarely saw Chester drink so much. It was probably because being in jail for three months was too depressing.
“Young Master Jewell, where would you like to head back to?” Ken asked, “The Jewell family’s residence, the villa, or the apartment?”
Chester opened his hazy eyes. “Go… Go to Eliza. I have something to… ask her.”
Ken was speechless. ¡®You’re really drunk.’
After some thought, Ken sent Chester back to the villa.
The next day, Chester was woken up by a call from his assistant. “President Jewell, a few directors came to your office this morning, and Director Carlson was the one who led them.”
“Alright. I got it. I’ll come right away.”
Chester chose a black suit from the wardrobe, quickly dressed himself neatly, and then left the house.
When he arrived, the directors already had several cups of coffee. They were all fuming as they waited.
“What time is it now? Is this how Chester serves as a president? Well, he has long since been unqualified to be the president.” The speaker was Finn’s father, Director Carlson.
“It looks like Finn wasn’t taught a proper lesson yesterday.” Chester pushed the door open. In a trim- fitting suit, he exuded a mature and composed presence.
Following behind him were several sturdy bodyguards.
The few directors’ expressions shifted a little. At the thought that his wife was missing, Finn immediately became embarrassed. “Chester, don’t be too arrogant. This company doesn’t belong to you alone.”
“Of course, it doesn’t belong to me alone. Otherwise, all of you wouldn’t have earned so much money since I got this position. Look at yourselves. You’re getting fatter and fatter with each year. Watch out for fatty liver disease.” Chester sat opposite the few of them and leaned into the couch, his legs crossed. The air of authority around him made the others afraid to breathe.
“You’ve gone too far, Chester.” One of the top three shareholders of the company, Director Sutton, pulled a long face. “The company is in this horrible situation now because for one, your reputation has greatly affected the whole company, and secondly, the lower-level management is full of problems. Now that those issues have been exposed, and many competitors are joining the market, the company will be at stake if the issue isn’t dealt with properly.”
“That is why I’ve come up with a solution.” Chester said indifferently, “I’ll publically resign from my position as president. After that, I’ll have Kingsley take over the role while I stay behind the scenes and manage things. Isn’t this the best explanation to the public?”
“Haven’t you hatched such a brilliant plot? Everyone knows that Kingsley works under you,” Director Carlson said in a huff.
“Are you not satisfied with that?” Chester shot a look at Ken. “Communicate with Director Carlson and make him satisfied.” Ken strode toward Director Carlson. Ken’s sturdy figure left the others gasping for air.
“Wait a minute. Let’s talk it out.” Director Sutton leaped to his feet and promptly stopped Ken before he said in embarrassment, “Director Carlson didn’t say he’s dissatisfied. In fact, we still trust you, but accidents do happen.”
“What do you mean?” Chester tapped his fingers on his thigh.
Director Sutton let out a light cough, feeling embarrassed. Only after filling the cup with coffee did he say, “Chester, you just came back yesterday, so you might not have noticed the changes in the company’s shareholders.”
“…Say it.” Chester’s eyes slowly darkened.
Director Sharpe said, “When you were in jail, someone short sold the company’s shares. A few timid shareholders have sold off their shares, so there have been changes to the shareholders.”
“Who did they sell the shares to?” Chester squinted his eyes.
Director Carlson said, “Have you heard of Reborn? Reborn seems to be from the financial industry overseas and currently holds ten percent of the shares.”
The office turned eerily silent for a while.
Chester slowly took a cigarette from the table and lit it. After taking two drags on it, he suddenly let out a deep laugh. “Reborn?”
“Yes, Reborn.”
Somehow, Director Carlson became a little timid.
Those familiar with Chester knew that was a precursor to his anger.
The next moment, Chester leaped to his feet and kicked the coffee table furiously. ” What a bunch of dumb*sses. Do you know who Reborn is? Reborn was the one who short-sold Jewell Corporation’s shares this time. That person conned Jewell Corporation out of 90 billion dollars and used the money to buy the company’s shares. He or she probably didn’t spend any of their money and got more bang for their buck.”
“What? Reborn was the one who short sold Jewell Corporation’s shares?” Several directors looked grim. “What is that person trying to do with all that scheming? Could he or she be a foreign competitor who has been deliberately arranged to join as a shareholder?”
Chester took a deep drag on his cigarette. ” Have you ever met Reborn?”
“No.” Director Carlson shookhis head. “It was a blonde-haired woman who came to deal with the formalities in the office the other day.”
Chester narrowed his eyes. Then, he turned around and asked Ken, “Didn’t I tell you to look into Reborn’s identity? How’s your investigation going?”
“That person is very mysterious with their appearance. Up until now, hardly anyone has seen Reborn’s face. I need a little more time,” Ken responded.
“It’s fine. The company will be holding a general meeting tomorrow, and I reckon Reborn will attend.” Chester’s handsome face was grave. First, Reborn bought Ferra Film Group’s shares to destroy Chester’s dream of gaining a foothold in the entertainment industry. Now, Reborn was a shareholder in Jewell Corporation.
That was absolutely not a coincidence.
From Felix Media’s scandal to Eliza, Ferra, and then Chester getting sent to jail, they were most likely Reborn’s doings. Perhaps Reborn’s real target was Jewell Corporation.
All those matters were linked together, and even Chester fell into the trap. Reborn was really brilliant.
Chester was only able to take control over Jewell Corporation at that point because the board of directors was so incapable that he could suppress them. However, if an unknown force was coming from overseas, Chester might not be in control of the company anymore.
Tomorrow, he would first get acquainted with Reborn and see what he or she was planning to do.
In the villa, Della walked up to charity after answering a call. “Reborn, I received a call from Jewell Corporation. They said they’ll be holding a general meeting tomorrow. Are you going to attend it?”
“Yes. Of course, I’ll attend.” Charity said with a grin, “I’m sure Chester is holding a general meeting so suddenly because he wants to meet me.”
Della asked with a frown, “Do you want him to know that you’re Reborn?”
“Duh! He’ll find out about me sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time. There’s no need to hide from him.” charity started looking forward to it.
After all, Chester claimed last night that he wanted her to sleep with him and would give her one billion dollars.
Was she so desperate for one billion dollars now?
He would be her employee in the future.
All of a sudden, charity looked forward to seeing Chester lose his cool tomorrow.
¡®Chester, you think you’re so good at playing women, huh?
¡®In that case, I’ll play you tomorrow as well.
The next day.
At 8:55 a.m.
