“Plus… I don’t want to be treated as a toy by men.”
Eliza lifted her hand and removed her watch. There was a prominent scar on her wrist. “Can you see
this? This happened in my previous relationship. Everyone said that I approached Monte because of
his status. In fact, I was really in love with him but he abandoned me. I chose to kill myself, but I didn’t
die. Hah. In the end, he mocked my attempt to kill myself and said it was a way of winning his
sympathy.”
Chester fixed his astonished gaze on the prominent scar on her wrist. He could not figure out why a
cool person like her would kill herself.
How madly was she in love with Monte, that scumbag?
“I’m not Monte, ” Chester said with a hoarse voice, “Monte chases after women to win their hearts and
bodies, but I just want your body.”
Eliza was stunned. Suddenly, she laughed. “Indeed, you’re openly scummy. Are you trying to say that
I’m not attractive at all except for my body?”
Chester’s deep gaze was thought-provoking. “ Maybe…”
“Fine. Ever since I entered this industry, I’ve seen people cutting corners. But if I take off my clothes in
front of you today, I can do it in front of another man tomorrow as well.”
Eliza shook her head. “If I were to lead such a life, I’d rather leave this place.”
“When a celebrity is at their lowest ebbs, do you know how many people will treat them as a laughing
stock?” Chester teased.
“I know. Some celebrities have switched their careers to become teachers and even sales people.
Regardless, those are still jobs. Making 3,000 to 4,000 dollars per month is still enough to get by,” Eliza
responded indifferently.
Staring fixedly at her, Chester could not help but be convinced of her words.
There had been too many women around him who tried so hard to climb the ladder. Among them,
Cindy was the most aggressive one.
However, Eliza was an exception. She was just as cool and clear as a pool of water.
She crammed her things into her suitcase and zipped it up without looking at him. “Young Master
Jewell, if you’d like to stay here, you can continue staying here. I’m going back to Canberra.”
Once she finished speaking, she wanted to pick up the other suitcase.
A long hand quickly reached out and took the suitcase before she could do it.
“Coincidentally, I’m going back to Canberra too. Let’s go back together.” Chester glanced at her.
“I think you’re mistaken, you’re supposed to pick Cindy up.” Eliza tried to get her suitcase back, but she
was unable to move it at all even after some time. “Young Master Jewell, I’m going to be in trouble if
people spot me being with you.”
“Are you still afraid of getting into trouble when you’re already prepared to quit the entertainment
industry and look for another job?” Chester curled his lips with a playful expression.
Eliza was speechless. “If Cindy finds out about it, she won’t let me go even if I decide to leave the
entertainment industry.”
“That’s your problem, then. ” Chester pulled her suitcase away.
Eliza swiftly went after him. The two of them began pulling at each other.
“You really want others to see this, huh?” Chester raised his brows.
Eliza had no choice but to head downstairs reluctantly. Then, she got into his car.
When the chauffeur saw Eliza, there was hardly any expression on his face. Shortly after, he started
the car calmly.
Eliza, who was at her wit’s end, texted Leanne to inform her that she had left.
The journey back to Canberra took about one and a half hours.
After looking down at her phone for a while, Eliza felt uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes.
As she had read the script until late at night yesterday, she soon fell asleep.
Chester turned around and looked at the woman who was leaning against the window with her eyes
closed. Her eyelashes were thick like feathers, while her nose was tiny yet tall. She was too pretty.
He rested his eyes on her for some time.
Upon noticing his behavior, the chauffeur in front deliberately made a turn.
