However, it seemed like fate did not want to let Chester release Eliza.
Eliza sighed. She had set up a scheme for Chester, yet he used her as a shield.
It was too ridiculous.
Eliza waited at the office for an hour.
Chester entered from the outside. He was in a pair of black slacks and a white shirt. His shoulders
were wide, and he had long legs. His aura was outstanding. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing the
smooth lines of muscles on his arms.
After the door closed, Chester sat on the office chair. His unrivaled, handsome face was slightly raised.
His eyes behind the lenses looked at Eliza indifferently.
“What’s the matter?”
‘What’s the matter?’
Eliza thought in her heart. Those were the funniest words she had ever heard.
Although she had always been calm, she could not control her body from trembling at that moment.
“My name is tarnished. All of the advertisers and film directors are calling me and scolding me, wanting
to terminate their contracts with me. I’m now detested by everyone. Don’t you know all of this?”
Eliza did not want to endure it anymore. She grabbed a vase from the decorative shelf and was about
to smash it on the floor angrily.
Chester suddenly reminded her softly, “ The vase in your hand is three million dollars. Smash it if you
dare.”
Eliza’s hand stiffened.
A vase that was three million dollars was nothing to her.
However, it was a huge sum to the Eliza that Chester knew.
Amid the tension, Eliza gritted her teeth and placed the vase back. Then, she rushed to Chester’s side
with reddened eyes. “You used me as a shield for the company without a word. Don’t you think you
need to give me an explanation? Chester, even if you don’t like me and even though I might not be as
important as Cindy, I’m also human. I made so much profit for the company, yet you ruined me so
easily.
What do you take me for?”
When she placed the vase back timidly, Chester had started to look down on her.
At that point, he was too lazy to fight with her. He took a card from the drawer right away and threw it
on the table. “There’s 100 million dollars in it. It’s your compensation.”
Eliza widened her eyes. She was a professional actress, after all. Hence, her expression looked as if
that card was a humiliation. “I can generate a profit of a few hundred million for the company every
year. You’ve ruined my acting career in the entertainment industry forever, and now you’re dismissing
me with just 100 million dollars. Do you think I’m a beggar?”
“A beggar?” Chester laughed sarcastically. “Can a beggar have so much money? stop dreaming.”
Eliza’s face twisted in anger. “My worth isn’t just 100 million dollars. I don’t need money. I just want a
promising future.”
“I can’t do that.” Chester looked at her with a gaze full of disdain. “The fact that you’ve been with Monte
is the truth. You can only blame yourself for being promiscuous. Moreover, I think it’s good enough that
you’re worth 100 million dollars. The entertainment industry is ever -changing. It’s true that you’re
popular this year, but what about next year and the year after that? Even a small scandal can ruin a
celebrity, not to mention that your relationship with Monte is a scandal that’s cast in stone.
“If it weren’t for the company exposing it to divert attention, no one would’ve found out about it.” Eliza
glared at Chester. “ Besides, setting aside my contract with the company, I’m still your woman. Chester,
you’re too cruel to me. You’re really too cruel.”
The tears in her eyes flowed out.
Chester gazed at that pair of eyes. In the past, he thought Eliza looked similar to Charity when she was
cold. However, he realized that they did not look alike at all after looking closely.
He stood up irritatedly. “How are you even my woman? I was simply satisfying my needs.”
Eliza widened her eyes and glared at Chester. “You’re too shameless. You shouldn’t have forced me by
using other people as a threat back then.”
“So what if I forced you? Didn’t you feel good when you were in my bed?” Chester opened a box of
cigarettes. He took a cigarette between his fingers and pointed it at her.
