“Let’s have lunch together.”
Chester tapped on the watch on his wrist. “ It’s noon. There’s a decent French restaurant downstairs,
and we can talk about Jewell Corporation’s stuff too.”
Charity smiled faintly. “I’m sorry. I’m afraid eating with you will affect my appetite. You know why.”
“I understand.” Chester was not angry. Instead, the corners of his lips curved into a grin. “However, you
went through all the trouble to enter Jewell Corporation and even gave me a slap in the face a couple
of times. Don’t you want to listen to my thoughts or show off in front of me? Plus, I see you’re quite
well-versed in management. I think we can have a short discussion for the sake of Jewell Corporation’s
future.”
“Since you say so, what else can I say? Lead the way.”
Charity put on her sunglasses and walked forward.
Della immediately followed.
Chester watched her slender figure from behind. A hint of wickedness flashed across his eyes before
he went after her in long strides.
He never thought a day would come when he would be trailing behind a woman.

At the French restaurant.
Soft saxophone music filled the air of the restaurant.
There was a red rose placed on the white European-style table.
Charity took the rose and played with it between her fingers. “So this is the French restaurant you said
was decent? I think it’s just average.”
After speaking, she threw the rose aside lightly. The flower traveled in a perfect trajectory in the air
before landing in the trash can.
“Let me guess.” Charity looked around with a thoughtful gaze. “I’m assuming you specifically picked
this place because there is a security camera above US, or there are people secretly taking pictures of
US having dinner together and posting it on the internet. Then, the netizens will make random guesses
again. They’ll say I created so much trouble before, only to end up having French food with you.
Everything I did was just to attract your attention.”
“You’re smart.” Chester, who sat opposite her, stared at her small face.
It was strange. It was still the same familiar face, but he suddenly realized that the woman in front of
him seemed to be wearing layers of masks.
It was his first time not being able to see through a woman.
“Who are you exactly?” Chester stared at her. His gaze was sharp. “You’re not Eliza.”
“Oh.” Charity’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm. “If not Eliza, who am I?”
Chester smiled, his eyes devoid of warmth. “After you sent me to jail, I had people investigate you
specifically. The Eliza I know was from a small town. She graduated from an ordinary university, her
parents have been divorced since she was young, and her family is poor. If you had not gotten to know
Monte and had him pull a few strings, you wouldn’t have had the chance to enter the entertainment
industry. You weren’t even a top achiever in all your years in school. Your life could only be described
as tough. But now…
You’re Reborn, who created a stir in Wall Street a few years ago.”
