Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1317
Chester took a deep drag at his cigarette and warned Eliza.
Eliza stared at his back. Out of his sight, her eyes flamed with hatred.
“As far as I know, Charity had very few friends. The only people she knew were Freya and Catherine. ” Chester said,
“You didn’t even visit her when she was in jail. It makes me wonder how she came to be your friend. You even dug
up her parents’ ashes. If you don’t give me an explanation…”
He paused for an instant and turned around with a cold gaze. “I could suspect that you’re doing some secret cult
activities, and I’ll call the police to arrest you.”
Eliza looked at him. “ If I tell you that she appeared in my dream and delivered the message to me, will you believe
it?”
“Do you take me for a fool?” Chester instantly burst into a scornful laugh.

Eliza bit her lip. “What I said is true.”
She slowly took out an antique pendant from her necklace. “It’s most probably because of this pendant. Charity and
I used to live in the same courtyard when we were young, and we had a good relationship. My mom was friends
with her mom too.
“When we were five, my mom and Charity’s mom took us to a church for worship one day. It was freezing that day,
but because Charity and I were dressed too thinly, both of us nestled in my mom’s coat. A priest happened to walk
past us and said that
… we were both ill-fated individuals who would die early.”
Chester fixed his eyes on that pendant and clenched his fists in spite of himself.
He recognized that pendant. It was an ordinary topaz that Charity had as well.
When he personally removed Charity’s clothes that year, he caught sight of the same pendant on her chest.
Eliza continued, “The priest noticed my close relationship with Charity, so he gave each of us a pendant. He said
that the pendants came in a pair. They’ve been blessed by God, so they’re considered holy objects. If one pendant

went missing, the other pendant would sense it.” Chester chuckled.
However, Eliza acted as if she did not hear him.“
Shortly after Charity left Geraldton, I lost touch with her and had not heard from her until three years ago. I
dreamed of Charity telling me to look for her parents’ ashes as she was leaving.
“ She said that her mom’s ashes were a dog’s, and this was the biggest concern in her life. She did not want the
dog’s ashes to replace her mom’s, and her dad’s ashes shouldn’t have been there either.”
Chester shuddered. After some time, he took a deep drag on his cigarette. “Are you fooling me?”
“ I’m not. ” Eliza said indifferently, “You’re Young Master Jewell. You can easily investigate it and tell whether I’m
fooling you. Indeed, I didn’t interact much with her later on. But one can only relocate the ashes of their close ones.
In this case, I just took away the ashes in secret and buried them elsewhere. I often think that it might’ve been
through this pendant that Charity found me.”

“I’ll investigate it. If you dare lie to me, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you.” Chester glowered at her ferociously.
“Why are you asking about Charity?” Eliza asked strangely, “Is it because you love her?”
“Love?” Chester reacted as if he had heard a joke. “ You must be dreaming. Would that kind of woman deserve my
love?”
“Indeed, she doesn’t deserve your love because you’re not worthy of her,” Eliza answered with her eyes lowered.
“Eliza, you just have to offend me, huh?” Chester’s eyes erupted with fury.
When they were at loggerheads with each other countless times back then, he had never been offended. However,
he was mad this time.
Eliza was quiet for a moment before she said indifferently, “She’s already dead. What’s the point of explaining so
much?”
Chester looked at her for a while and then said,“ Get out.”
Eliza got out without further ado.
Soon, Shedrick came in. “This lady slammed the door really hard. Was it because she objected to your request to
keep her as your lover? Well, she’s very stubborn. A few big guns previously had the same thought, but she’d rather
quit the entertainment industry than accept it.”
