Chester lifted his head mockingly. “Now that my leg is injured, am I supposed to entertain you both with
a smile? It’s fine since you’re my mom, but who is she to receive the same treatment?”
Madam Jewell was so angry that she nearly felt a pain in her chest. “We’re just concerned about you,
and Cindy is my lifesaver.”
“Yeah. For your sake, I’ve given her all the resources she wants, yet she’s still not content. Does she
want me to marry her and be nice to her too?”
A taunting look washed over Chester’s face. “If not for the fact that you need her blood, would she be
able to stand before me and make demands over and over again?” “You…”
“No worries, Madam Jewell.” Cindy stopped Madam Jewell and forced a smile on her face. “Young
Master Jewell just got injured, so it’s normal that he’s in a bad mood. I’ll take my leave now and come
to visit him another day.”
Cindy wanted to stay at first, but Chester’s remarks were getting nastier.
He had never made it so obvious back then.
However, he was starting to look down on her even more recently, and she was not that shameless
anyway.
“Fine. Have a safe journey.” Madam Jewell sent Cindy off, feeling sorry for her.
When Madam Jewell and Chester were the only ones left in the room, Madam Jewell walked up to him
and said unhappily, “ Chester, you’re very disrespectful. I know full well that if I weren’t your mother, I
wouldn’t be qualified to say anything to you. I don’t understand what went wrong with your dad and my
parenting style for you to behave like that.”
“What’s wrong with me now?”
Chester raised his eyelids. “If it hadn’t been for me, Jewell Corporation would’ve gone bankrupt long
ago. Would you and Dad be able to eat well and be so powerful in Canberra? Also, don’t get too close
to Cindy. She has an ulterior motive for donating her blood to you.”
Madam Jewell was fuming. “Cindy and I aren’t related, yet she donated her blood to me many times.
So, of course, I have to treat her well. Do you think she’s so kind as to donate her blood for nothing?
Would you?”

Madam Jewell said, “Blood might not be very precious, but our blood is rare. She, too, has to risk her
own health to donate her blood to me, and for her own benefit, she has even gone as far as risking her
life. Since she has saved me several times, and you’re my son, it’s very normal for you to help her out
with her career. We each take what we need. There’s no need for you to throw nasty remarks at her.”
“As long as she doesn’t think about marrying me and stops showing up in front of me, I can’t be
bothered to tell her off.” Chester hated getting lectured the most.
“I think you just don’t respect women.”
Madam Jewell said furiously, “Do you think you’re so brilliant and superior that you can look down on
women? It’s not easy for women to be in any industry. Please don’t think too highly of yourself. If you
continue to hold such an attitude, those who care about you won’t be able to put up with you one day.”
Chester snorted. “With my identity, people will surely throw themselves at me.”
“You’re wrong. If you repeatedly insult a woman who is truly worth treasuring, she’ll stay away from
you.”
Madam Jewell said by enunciating each word, “Look at your friends. Unlike you, they’ve gotten married
and had children. Perhaps you think there’s nothing wrong with your life. But as you grow older, you’ll
realize that you’ll need someone who is attentive and understands you by your side, and that’s when
you’ll feel lonely.” “Chester, if you don’t know how to respect people, no one will ever treat you
sincerely, particularly in relationships.”
With that, Madam Jewell left.
Chester leaned against the bedside, feeling somewhat absent-minded.
Over the years, there had been too many women around him.
There were so many of them that he could not even remember their faces.
The only woman he could remember clearly was charity.
He even started to doubt relationships because of Charity.
After many years had passed, the truth, too, had come to light.
However, some things seemed to have become a habit for him.
Sometimes, at the thought of Charity, he would become extreme and grumpy and lose control of his
emotions.
If… If Charity were by his side, he would not behave like that.
