No one knew that charity was a thorn in his heart.
“If you’re the real Reborn, I can compete with you one time. If you win, Jewell Corporation is yours. If you lose, you’ll leave Jewell Corporation.” Chester looked at her and threw down a challenge while speaking word by word, “You’re the first woman to receive a challenge from me.”
“I have no interest in fighting for Jewell Corporation. Besides, I don’t even know the medical industry well. Our fight might cause unrest in Jewell Corporation. That might even spread to the hospitals under the company. Ultimately, it’ll delay treatment for people who require medical attention.”
Charity shook her head. “I like being a shareholder in Jewell Corporation even more. I believe in your abilities too. I can receive tens of billions of dollars of profit even if I sit at home every year. I don’t see any reason for not doing this.”
Chester understood her words. His mouth twitched. “Why does it sound like I’m working for you?”
“Isn’t it pretty good? Charity said calmly. ” You hate me and are desperate to kill me, yet you can’t do anything to me. You have to give me bonuses from the money you earn yearly. How good is that? I can even criticize you openly in the company if you do badly and accuse you of not letting US shareholders gain profit.”
Chester laughed out of anger.
It seemed like he had lost in that round as well.
He used to think that being Jewell Corporation’s president was pretty satisfying. Now listening to the way Charity talked about it, he felt like an employee.
He was indeed earning a huge sum of money, but he was racking his brain and working every day. On the other hand, Charity did not need to do a thing. She could get money just by sitting at home.
That made Chester slightly jealous.
However, he would not be willing to hand over the power he had.
At that moment, the waiter served the food.
Charity held a knife and fork and started cutting the lamb rack. She ate quickly but not hastily. It gave others the impression that she was elegant.
“You’re eating so quickly. Be careful of choking,” Chester reminded lazily.
“I want to eat faster and leave earlier.
Looking at you is unappetizing,” Charity said bluntly.
Tsssk.
The knife in Chester’s hand drew a long mark along the plate and made an unpleasant sound.
He squinted his eyes evilly. “Wouldn’t you have been more turned off when I was in your body? Unfortunately, I found it satisfying. I still remember that feeling. Even if you had taken medicine, I remember clearly your expression of indulgence. I’ll sketch a drawing for you. My drawing skills are pretty good.”
The knife and fork in Eliza’s hands stopped their cutting action.
Her beautiful face darkened slightly. She even felt nausea and disgust welling up from the depths of her throat.
Chester smiled upon seeing that. He started enjoying his lunch. “I’ll prepare the drawing once I go back.”
“Draw it, then. I hope you’ll remember forever that I only had that expression because I relied on drugs,” Charity reminded coldly. “As long as you don’t feel humiliated, you can do what you want.”

Chester felt like his anger did not affect her at all.
After gritting his teeth, he chuckled. “Eliza, we got off on the wrong foot. If I hadn’t forced you back then and we had dated like an ordinary couple, I might’ve… fallen in love with you.”
“I don’t believe you. You don’t understand love at all. You won’t fall in love with anyone either.”
After Charity finished eating, she wiped her mouth and stood up. “I’m done eating. I’ll be leaving first. You can continue enjoying your food.”
“You haven’t replied to my first question. Who are you?” Chester’s voice came from behind. “Or you can simply answer one question of mine. Are you Eliza?”
Charity turned her eyes back and gave him a profound glance, she did not reply and left without turning back.
Chester leaned his body against the chair again. He stared at the dishes in front of him.
He recalled Charity asking, “Do you really not remember a thing?”
“Young Master Jewell…” Ken walked over. ” Eliza has left. The two bodyguards beside her don’t seem simple. They must be people who have blood on their hands and gone to battlefields.”
Chester spoke thoughtfully.
Ken said puzzledly, “I don’t know where Eliza found that kind of people and the group of people who kidnapped Sarah previously. They don’t seem ordinary.”
Chester thought of something. “Investigate Reborn. I need to know all the information about that person. Check her background and the first time she appeared. Investigate if anyone has taken photos of her true face overseas.”
“I heard that she’s very secretive, she had on a mask and sunglasses the few times she appeared…”
“Even the most careful can still make mistakes. As long as we’re willing to spend money and time, I don’t think we’ll be unable to find something.” Chester’s gaze darkened.
Ken said, “You suspect that she’s not the real Reborn. Actually, I find it unbelievable too. Her background and Reborn’s are completely unrelated.”
“That’s right. I think so too. Make a copy of Eliza’s information throughout these few years, including the films and dramas she took part in. Instead of her not being the real Reborn, I have a stronger feeling that she’s not the true Eliza.”
Chester said in a low voice, “Also, keep a close eye on Eliza. I need to know her next course of action.”
“Will she join hands with the shareholders and go against you?” Ken guessed out of worry.
“I don’t know.”
That answer made Ken stunned. It was the first time there was someone and something that even Chester could not see through.
Downstairs.
After Charity got into her car, Della said, ” After you went to have your meal just now, Mr. Sutton and Mr. Carlson made an excuse to ask for my number. They’re probably dissatisfied with Chester, but they don’t dare to make a move. Therefore, they want to cooperate with you.”
“They’re a bunch of cowards. They just want to use me to mess up Jewell Corporation and reap the benefits.” Charity smiled sarcastically.
“You…”
“We can occasionally have a meal together. After all, I still need to use them to join the board of directors. However, I’m not interested in being in the limelight. My goal isn’t that,” charity said indifferently.
Della smiled, “of course. You already have 10 percent of Jewell Corporation’s shares. You even spent money and became a shareholder of one of Jewell Corporation’s new competitors, City Children’s Hospital. You’re now earning money from both sides. The scale of your assets can even surpass Chester’s within a few years. The people of Jewell Corporation most probably didn’t think of this.”
Charity did not say a word. There was no smile on her face, she simply looked outside the window.
So what if she earned more money? Could her parents come back? No.
Just as she was deep in thought, her phone rang.
It was Cate who called. “Well, should I call you Eliza or Reborn? You’ve been hiding such deep secrets. You became Jewell Corporation’s shareholder so suddenly. Tell me, how many things are you still keeping from US?”
“I’m sorry.” There was an apologetic tone in Charity’s voice.
She trusted Cate, but she did not trust Shaun.
She had to be cautious regarding her scheme against Chester. If it was leaked even the slightest, it would have failed. Therefore, she kept it from Cate and Mireya.
“You don’t have to apologize. Actually, I can understand. If it were me, I would’ve done the same thing.” Cate smiled. ” It’s just… I always felt that I was your best friend and knew you well. I just realized that it isn’t true. I still have many, many doubts. Based on your background growing up, you can’t possibly be Reborn. Can you tell me about your money and identity?”
“I’ve been keeping things from you guys. Aren’t you afraid that I’m using you all?” Charity asked in a low voice.
“I don’t think you’ve used US for anything, right?” Cate’s tone was teasing. She said honestly, “I just had a sense of indescribable familiarity when I saw you for the first time in court. I may not have told you before, but I sometimes feel like we might’ve known each other in our past lives. Maybe we were even good friends.”
“Your intuition isn’t wrong. We did know each other in our past lives.”
Charity’s faint sigh rang. Even the smart Cate was slightly stunned.
At that moment, thousands of weird thoughts flashed across her head. She blurted out, “You can’t possibly have your previous life’s memories with you, right?”
After she spoke, she suddenly thought she might have become stupid.
“I’m done for. I’ve become stupid lately.” Cate touched her forehead out of speechlessness. “I almost believed you.”
“I really have memories from my past life,” Charity said.
