“Do you think I’m falling in love?” Chester was astonished.
“Even if you’re not, you’re already on the way there.” Shaun shared his opinion as someone who had the same experience. “I told you earlier on to stay away from Eliza and not get involved too deeply. Do you feel irritated when you think of that woman these few days but still want to meet her? Oh, by the way, I heard you go to her villa’s neighborhood every night and disturb the people there.”
Chester was taken aback. Then, he felt awkward. “How do you know about it?”
Shaun sighed. “You keep bothering Eliza. That made her ask Cate today if she could come to the Lyons family’s manor to stay for some time.”
“Did you guys agree?” Chester tightened his grip on the wine glass.
“I had to.” Shaun supported his forehead on a hand. There was a helpless and doting smile on his mouth. “If I dare to disagree, Cate will definitely take the kids and leave the next moment.”
“Is her relationship with Eliza that good?” Chester was confused.
“It’s that good.” Shaun nodded. “It’s weird, she clearly hasn’t known Eliza for a long time. However, there are plenty of rooms in the Lyons family’s manor. Eliza can even stay there for a year or so.”
Chester took another sip of wine. Was he that hateful to Eliza?
She would rather move to the Lyons family’s manor and live under someone else’s roof than return to her villa.
“Speaking of which, don’t you feel embarrassed making a scene in other people’s neighborhood?” After letting out a tsk, Shaun said, “Even I can’t do that kind of thing, okay?”
“Embarrassment?” Chester patted his handsome face. “That word isn’t in my dictionary.”

Shaun was speechless. He really could not compare to Chester.
“Do as you wish.” Shaun raised his wine glass and clinked it with Chester’s. “Eliza is no longer staying there anyway. You won’t be able to bother her even if you make a fuss there every day.”
Chester faked a smile. He rested his arm on Shaun’s shoulder. “Pull some strings for me and let me move to the Lyons family’s manor too.”
Shaun widened his dark eyes. “Are you serious?”
“I’m joking. I won’t put you in a difficult spot. Otherwise, you’ll be kicked out of the bed by Cate.”
Chester smiled. He held his wine glass and finished its contents. His throat and stomach were bitter. “Forget it. I won’t bother Eliza anymore.”
“Have you figured everything out? You’re not gonna seek revenge on her anymore?” Shaun was surprised.
“If I get revenge on her today, she’ll do the same to me the next day. Will there ever be an end to this?” Chester sighed and shook his head.
He could not tell Shaun that Eliza had a psychological problem where she rejected men.
The problem was that Eliza was not willing to treat it.
Even if Chester managed to have her, what meaning was there in rolling around with a stone in bed every day?
Did he have to let her consume drugs daily to sleep with him?
Besides, it was just as Doctor Levin said. It might aggravate Eliza’s condition. What if she took a knife and stabbed him at night? To be honest, with Eliza’s ruthlessness, she could really do it.
There was always Charity standing between Eliza and him.
“You’re not such a kind person.” Shaun was astonished. “Isn’t your principle to destroy something if you can’t obtain it?”
“I just suddenly find it… meaningless.”
He had never pestered a woman so shamelessly before.
However, Eliza seemed to disdain him greatly.
Chester needed his pride too.
“It’s good this way.” Shaun let out a breath of relief. “It’s just a woman. You’re destined to be a man who’ll remain single.” “You said different things in the past. You kept telling me how pleasant it was to find a woman I love and have a child,” Chester snapped. “You even advised me to settle down earlier.”
“The problem lies with you and not me. You don’t believe in love.” Shaun had hit the nail on the head. “Therefore, there’s no need to do that. Everyone has their way of living. The way you were in the past was pretty good. Both parties just took what they needed and were fully willing. There’s no need to force those people who are unwilling. As a matter of fact, you’ve ruined the company’s and your reputation after meeting such a difficult opponent like Eliza. Why bother?”
“…You’re right.”
Chester suddenly chuckled. “Eliza and I are fated to live in different worlds. Come.
Let’s have a toast. After this drink, you can tell Cate to ask Eliza to go back. I won’t bother her anymore.”
“Keep your promise.” “Mm. I’m a man of my word.”
Chester drank a lot that night.
He was still dizzy when he went to the company the next day.
He only felt better after drinking a cup of coffee that he asked his secretary to pour.
Ken suddenly knocked on the door outside and entered. “President Jewell, there’s progress on the investigation you told me to conduct on Reborn the last time.”
Chester was stunned.
Only then did he remember he had asked Ken to investigate Eliza during that period. He kept finding it weird that Eliza was Reborn.
If it were yesterday, he would definitely have been interested.
However, Chester had already decided that he would not have private interactions with her except during work. He was too lazy to probe into her secrets as well.
“You don’t have to tell me about her information anymore in the future, stop investigating her too,” Chester said indifferently.
Everyone had their own secrets. Chester feared that the more he dug, the more interested he would be in Eliza.
Ken was astonished. “President Jewell, I found out that this identity of Reborn seems to be related to Charity. Don’t you want to know about it?”
“Charity?” Chester raised his head in shock. After that, his expression relaxed again. “Reborn is Eliza. Eliza and Charity have known each other since they were young. It’s not weird that there’s some relation between them.”
“No. Eliza might not be the true Reborn.”
Ken said, “When I investigated Eliza, I was afraid something might be missed. Therefore, I sent my subordinates to Eliza’s hometown on purpose. They even visited the school where Eliza had studied before. All the neighbors, people, teachers, and students thought that her intelligence was average even though she was beautiful. She narrowly managed to keep up with classes by studying very hard. More importantly, when Reborn first appeared on Wall Street, Eliza was in the country. She was not overseas at all.”
“Are you sure?” Chester’s expression turned solemn.
If Eliza was not Reborn, she was impersonating a shareholder of Jewell Corporation.
As a company’s president, he could not overlook that matter.
“I’m very sure.”
Ken walked forward. He took out a stack of documents and another photo. “This was when Reborn appeared on Wall street six years ago. At that time, Eliza was in her senior year. She even went to watch a movie with her friends on that day. This is the security camera footage of the cinema.”
Chester stared at Eliza in the photo, she wore a pure-looking cotton dress, she looked fresh and clean.
However, he found her unfamiliar.
Actually, Chester had suspected earlier on that Eliza was hiding a huge secret.
Nevertheless, he could not deny the possibility that Eliza might truly be a finance genius.
Many people were exceptionally sharp with data. There had been occurrences of such geniuses overseas.
However, the photo in front of Chester could not be fabricated.
A person could not possibly have dual identities.
“How did Eliza become Reborn?” Chester’s expression turned grim. “She even invested in Ferra Film Group. It’s also Reborn who shorted Jewell Corporation’s stocks. Is Eliza a chess piece used by the real Reborn to fool people?”
Chester thought he was smart, but he realized he was becoming confused.
Ken frowned. “That’s not it either. I’ve investigated Levi’s side. The person who interacted with him frequently before is indeed Eliza. Besides, Eliza’s ex-manager, Skyler, also went to work in Ferra Film Group. Even Della went to look for Eliza right after arriving in Australia. Moreover, traces of Reborn appeared in Country R three months ago. I checked that hotel’s security camera footage. There were sights of Eliza. Reborn had apparently swept over a billion dollars in Country R.”
