A dumbfounded look washed over Chester’s handsome face.
He had met a lot of women in his life.
Although they claimed to love him, most only had their eyes on his wealth and power.
Some women even did everything in their power to get their hands on his money.
He was well aware that Eliza, having been in the entertainment industry for so long, might think that the
miserly amount of money was nothing. That was why he offered one billion dollars straight away.
Once the netizens knew that Eliza received a compensation of one billion dollars, the media on the
Internet would definitely frame the matter in a different way.
By the time Chester was out of jail, he might be able to save his reputation.
However, he never thought that Eliza would be more decisive and intelligent than his company’s board
of directors.
Now, great. He gave her one billion dollars, and it ended up strengthening Eliza’s image instead.
Besides the passers-by, even the country stood up for her.
Well, how many public figures could be as generous as Eliza?
Chester hated Eliza, but he also sincerely admired her at that moment.
“No wonder I lost.” He suddenly let out a deep laugh. “I really underestimated her. This time, I admit
defeat, but I’ll remember her.”
He no longer thought that Eliza had a passing resemblance to Charity.
It was not only because she was pretty.
There was a hint of curiosity in Chester’s eyes.
Not only was he curious, but he was also gritting his teeth in hatred. He wanted to break her pride and
make her crawl under his feet.
At the sight of Chester’s behavior, Shaun frowned a little. “Chester, don’t take it too far. This time, your
image has been destroyed. If you continue to cause Eliza trouble after you get out of jail, it’ll get Jewell
Corporation into trouble too.”
As a man, he knew very well what Chester was thinking.
The harder it was for a man to obtain a smart prey, the more they wanted it.
Chester’s behavior infuriated Shaun. He could not figure out why Chester would do such a thing, which
had caused Catherine to give Shaun the silent treatment. 1
Nevertheless, when Shaun was at his worst, Chester was always there for him. Being caught in the
middle was such a difficult position to be in.
“How’s Jewell Corporation doing?” Chester suddenly snorted. “After I left, the board of directors must
be eager to take action, and the relevant department probably wants to suppress Jewell Corporation
too.”
“Jewell Corporation is powerful, so many people are naturally afraid of it. Still, you didn’t know how to
restrain yourself and ended up in jail…” Shaun sighed. “From now on, some changes might happen in
the medical field. Now that Jewell Corporation is under investigation, many from the board of directors
are shifting the blame to the Jewell family. So far, Finn has been appointed as the temporary president.
However, with a lot of foreign investments coming in and the development of small- and middle-sized
hospitals recently, it’s clear that the market structure will change. Jewell Corporation might not be as
powerful as it used to be.”
“Eliza is probably working together with Jewell Corporation’s competitors. She alone wouldn’t have
been able to put Jewell Corporation in this state.”
Chester secretly gnashed his teeth. He had been vigilant, but never in his dreams did he expect the
woman to ruin his plan.
“Lately, there has been negative news about the Jewell family hospitals. In fact, the private hospitals
under Jewell Corporation think that they’re the best local hospitals. So, not only are illegal rebates a
common practice, but the staff’s attitude toward the patients, as well as the hospital’s environment and
hygiene, are also quite bad. This time, many problems have been exposed.”
After some thought, Shaun said frankly, “No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”
Chester was dazed. “Are you saying that I have poor management skills?”
