After the auction ended, charity promptly left the venue.
That was when a staff member brought a painting over. “Miss Robbins, this is the painting you bade for.
”
“I think you’ve made a mistake. I didn’t manage to bid for it.” At first glance, Charity could recognize
that it was the painting Chester bade for.
The staff said, “The bidder’s name written here is yours.”
“Really?” Charity lifted the painting up from the tray. After turning it around twice, she finally raised her
hand and hurled it into the trash can beside the door. The painting formed a beautiful arc in the air
before it fell into the trash can perfectly.
The staff was dumbfounded for a moment before seeing Charity swing her dress around and left.
Not far away, Chester snorted when he witnessed the scene.

At 10:00 p.m.
As the main character, Chester arrived late at the clubhouse.
Shaun said with a grin, “We’ve been here waiting for you with good food and drinks, and you? As the
main character, you couldn’t have shown up earlier, could you?
“Young Master Jewell, I heard you attended the charity event at Janee Hotel.” Young Master Tucker
laughed and said, “You even bade for a painting, but it was…”
“News spread fast, huh?” Chester was not irritated as he sat elegantly on the couch.
His expression made Shaun’s head hurt. “ Chester, I advised you, didn’t I? What are you trying to do?
Can’t you just let your affair with Eliza rest?”
Instead of answering his question, Chester asked, “Did Eliza invest in a large project? She told me that
she was making quite a lot of money and that she could earn tens of billions of dollars every year.”
“What? Tens of billions of dollars?” A wealthy young man beside Chester said, “ The projects these
days are very difficult to manage, what project can be so profitable? Young Master Hill, you’re too
much. Why didn’t you count me in?”
“Young Master Hill, is your wife preparing for a large project?” Someone clicked his tongue and said,
“You have such great taste. Your wife is brilliant. She’s so good at investment.”
Speechless, Shaun’s face darkened, “stop talking nonsense. My wife isn’t investing in anything.
Considering she’s so busy managing two companies, how does she have time for other things? As for
me, I have a lot of lawsuits to handle. Do you think I have the time to deal with more projects?”
“Didn’t Catherine mention it to you?” Chester furrowed his brows as he found the matter bizarre.
“No.” Shaun sulked and took two gulps of wine.
“Young Master Hill, could it be that your wife didn’t tell you?” someone asked mysteriously.
“So what if she didn’t? Everyone has their secrets.” Shaun put down the wine bottle unhappily. “My wife
and I can get along well because we focus on our own careers. We respect each other without
meddling in each other’s affairs.
“Come on. We were kidding. Don’t take it seriously.” Chester patted Shaun’s shoulder. “It looks like we
still don’t know Eliza well enough.”
His words distressed Shaun. “Can you stop getting yourself involved with Eliza? Jewell Corporation has
many issues to deal with, and your competitors keep popping up one after another. Can you put in
more time to settle the company’s issues? If you’re really bored, you can treat your patients and
perform surgery.”
“Exactly, Young Master Jewell.” Young Master Tucker added, “All you wanted previously was to have
Eliza, and you ended up getting yourself in jail. Now, you’re all about taking revenge against her. Be
careful not to fall for her.”
“I’ll fall for her?” Chester reacted as though he heard a joke.
Shaun and other people stared at Chester silently.
Chester was such an arrogant person.
Little did he know that the mind was the most difficult thing to control.
Chester had completely overlooked the situation. Today was his first day getting out of jail. He was
supposed to be working overtime in the office, visiting the hospital, or perhaps having a meal with his
parents.
Yet, what did he do tonight?
Take revenge against Eliza?
The problem was that he even spent five million dollars on Eliza, only for her to throw the drawing into
the trash can.
