The year Chester first met Charity, he was 19 years old while she was 16 years old. They were in the
prime of their youths.
Before he met her, he heard Sarah had a younger sister with the same father but a different mother.
He neither felt hate nor was curious about that.
However, when Chester hauled charity out from the water, the girl’s clear, dark eyes were filled with
panic. When her innocent yet slightly-curvy figure hugged him tightly in the water, the young Chester
had the instinctive reaction that every man would have.
“Chester, you can be heartless at times, but you can also be really gentle toward girls.”
Sarah said, “Your good looks, handsomeness, and gentlemanly behavior made the inexperienced
charity fall in love with you very quickly. After that, whenever you came over to our home, you’d bring
delicious food for her and be very caring toward her. Even when we went out to play, you’d always
knowingly or unknowingly remind me to bring her along. I could see that you had feelings for her. But
why? I was the one who invited you over. You were so outstanding, yet you liked charity, the person I
hated the most.”
Chester nodded. “Very well. Go on.”
His gentle voice made him hard to read.
“After that, when you and Charity started dating, I always intentionally and unintentionally tattled on her
in front of you. Shaun and Rodney believed me, and you believed me because of them. As time
passed, I made all of you misunderstand that Charity was a scheming, pretentious woman like her
mother, who liked to seduce men.”
Sarah was about to die anyway, and she did not want to hide anything anymore. Since Chester had
come to ask, it meant charity had always had a special place in his heart.
Unfortunately, Charity was dead.
What could Chester do even if he found out the truth?
Sarah was miserable, so she, too, wanted to inflict pain and regret on him for the rest of his life. “You
always thought charity betrayed your relationship with her, huh? That she only got together with you
because of your identity as Young Master Jewell and that she was a flirtatious woman by nature, right?”

Chester pursed his lips together tightly. Behind his lenses, his grim eyes stared at Sarah.
Sarah shook her head. “Charity wasn’t. I was the one who wrote the diary you found in her room by
imitating her writing.”
Chester suddenly had a moment of realization, and he laughed in a low voice.
He always thought Shaun and Rodney were stupid for being fooled by Sarah. However, it turned out
that he was not an exception either.
He discovered the diary when Charity was 18 years old.
It said that Charity did not love him at all. she only approached him because he was the Jewell family’s
son and Sarah’s friend, with a boyfriend like that, she would be able to hurt Sarah and gain pride.
The person Charity truly loved was a classmate called Larry Parker when she was in 12th grade.
However, that guy was not that well-off, which she did not really like.
Back then, Chester believed it. He even felt like ripping Charity apart.
He thought he was a fool for being played by a woman.
Since she wanted to fool him, he would play along and fool her to his heart’s content.
Surely a man could outwit a woman.
As such, Chester asked Charity out after her college entrance examinations on purpose. On that night,
he coaxed her and took her virginity.
He pretended to be very affectionate on the surface, but he was no longer the old him. Instead, he
simply treated her as a plaything.
Nevertheless, Charity still did not realize it and thought he truly liked her.
That summer, he saw her entering a hotel while hugging a male classmate after attending a class
reunion party.
