Shedrick was speechless.
That was indeed cruel.
After all, it was natural for people to fall sick nowadays.
However, Chester had not used that tactic for a long while now. By the looks of it, his boundaries had
been challenged.
“President Jewell, Eliza is in the wrong, but she’s only protecting herself because she was injured by
some haters a while back. It’s understandable for her to place an animal trap in her house.”
“Why are you standing up for her?” Chester suddenly asked coldly. “Could you be interested in her?
Oh, by the way, I heard you privately gave her 50 million dollars when the company terminated its
contract with her. ”
Although it was a hot day, Shedrick felt a chill run down his back. “Don’t get me wrong. I gave her 50
million dollars because I did think it was the company’s fault, and I felt a little guilty about it. As for why
I’m standing up for her, our company has been involved in so much scandal that a lot of people dare
not work with our artists. Eliza is the only one with a good image and can make money for the
company.”
“Our company can still operate without one artist. If it can’t, there’s no need for you to continue your
role as the president,” Chester warned.
Shedrick got so afraid that he dared not speak up for Eliza anymore.
It felt suffocating to be caught in the middle.
“Tell her to kneel and beg me when she realizes her mistake,” Chester instructed with a grim voice.
He had never lost out so terribly before.
What was more, he could still remember Eliza’s attitude when he got hurt.
Soon after Shedrick left, Madam Jewell and Cindy came over, and Cindy had brought some chicken
soup with her.
“What happened? How did your leg get trapped in an animal trap? Who did that?” A pained expression
washed over Madam Jewell’s face. Despite her son’s coldness, he was still her biological son.
“I’ll handle this issue myself.” Chester was lying on the bed without his glasses, and although his face
was a little pale, he still looked handsome.
Cindy’s heart skipped a few beats as she looked at him.
It was her first time seeing Chester looking like that. Although he was toxic, he had a charm that
attracted women to him.
“Chester, I’ve prepared some chicken soup for you. It’ll help with your recovery.” Cindy placed the soup
on the table and ladled out one bowl for him.
Chester fixed his eyes on her. The longer he looked at her, the more infuriated he felt.
Supposedly, Eliza, the culprit, should be the one doing that for him.
“Who told you to come?” Chester sounded cold and rude.
Cindy’s pretty face paled.
“Son, why do you have to be so harsh with your words?” Madam Jewell glared at his son. “Cindy and I
were shopping when she heard something happened to you, so we immediately came over.”
After a short pause, Madam Jewell said, “ You look like you need someone to take care of you since
your leg is injured, so I’ll get Cindy to stay with you. ”
“Madam Jewell, it’ll be my honor to take care of Young Master Jewell, ” Cindy instantly said. She must
grab the chance as men were weakest when they were hurt.
“But I don’t want you to take care of me.” Chester could not care less about how she felt. “Cindy, do
you have nursing knowledge? Or can you carry me? You know nothing, and you can’t sing or act well
either. You’ll make me hate you more if you stay.”
His words were too harsh.
Hurt by Chester’s words, Cindy’s eyes reddened.
Chester’s mood worsened. “Why are you crying? I’ve made even nastier remarks at Eliza, but she has
never behaved like you. You can’t take criticism, nor can you sing or act. Besides donating blood, what
else can you do?”
“Chester, how can you say that?” Madam Jewell’s eyes widened. His son had good looks, yet his
mouth seemed filled with poison.
“I can be worse than that. Would you like to try?” Chester asked sarcastically.
