Charity took the menu and read through it calmly, she answered Chester’s question in the meantime.
“Some things you found out might just be things that I’m willing to let other people see.”
“Is that so?” Chester leaned against the chair. He scrutinized her. “Let me think. When did Reborn
appear on Wall street for the first time? Was it four or five years ago? How old are you? You’re 24 years
old this year. Could you possibly have gone to Wall Street when you were 19 years old? There’s no
record of you even going overseas at that time. You could be a genius, but based on your environment
since you were born, you have no knowledge of finance at all. Your studies weren’t on finance, and
your parents were just ordinary employees.”
He paused for a moment. His gaze focused on the face of the woman opposite him, which had light
and shadows on it because of the crystal chandelier above them.
His gaze gradually turned as deep as a winter pond.
“It could be that you’re not the real Reborn. You’re just impersonating her, or you’re not the true Eliza.
You’re an imposter taking Eliza’s place.”
Chester’s fingers tapped the surface of the table. “If my guess isn’t wrong, you were the one who
exposed Heather and Stuart’s scandal, right? Shedrick and I have suspected that all the pictures and
text were leaked by someone among the company’s internal personnel. However, the person that I
suspected the least was you.”
Charity raised her eyebrows. She did not deny it and simply shrugged. “Continue.”
“Actually, it’s not hard to think about it. You were in the company for a few years and often attended the
company’s events. You had a good relationship with Hailey too. It’s not hard for you to obtain those
things.”
Chester squinted his eyes. “After that, you collaborated with Ferra Film Group and became its major
shareholder. Then, you acquired a few video and film companies to drive Felix Media into a corner. You
also used the dirt you had on a few artists of the company to force them to switch companies, slowly
turning Felix Media into an empty shell. You’re truly amazing.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Charity raised her head and said, “Can we order dinner? I’m a little
hungry.”
“Go ahead. I’m treating. You can order whatever you want.” Chester took out a packet of cigarettes.
“Do you mind if I smoke?”
“What if I say I do mind?” Charity blinked. “Did I tell you this before? The way you smoke without
considering the time and place you’re in makes me feel repulsed. I hate the smell of cigarettes.”
“That’s why you silently endured it when I smoked on the bed in the past, right?”
“Yes. I wanted to puke so badly.” charity said the most prickly words with a calm expression. “However,
I couldn’t say much at that time. After all, you might’ve patted my face and said, ‘Hey, Eliza, who do you
think you are? Me smoking in front of you means that I think highly of you. ’ ”
Chester smiled until his handsome eyes curved into arches. “How do you know me so well? It seems
like we’re pretty compatible. I’m sorry. I take back my words from before. Come back to me, Eliza. I’m
really starting to admire you.”
“Do you think you’re good enough for me?” Charity countered.
“I was too selfish in the past and didn’t let you enjoy your time properly.” Chester shrugged with raised
arms. There was a hint of wickedness in his eyes. “I can please you properly and promise I’ll make you
happy. I mean it.”
Charity raised her gaze from the menu to glance at him. “I’m the shareholder of Jewell Corporation and
Ferra Film Group now. The thing I don’t lack the most is money. Do you think I’ll still need you, an older
man who has gone through so many women and has gone to jail before? You want me to give up on
clean men with my identity? As long as I have money, there’ll be many men wanting to please me. Why
do you think you can win against other men?”
Chester was stunned.
Those words sounded unpleasant to the ears, but it was familiar as well.
“Does this sound familiar?” It was as if Charity had seen through him. “I was only in a relationship with
Monte for some time, and I wasn’t a virgin. You kept looking down on me because of that. In your heart,
I was just a plaything, why? Are only men allowed to disdain women but not the other way round?”
“Eliza, you’re getting revenge on me. Do you hate me so much?” Chester sighed emotionally. “If your
aim is to make me eat my words and teach me a lesson, I already feel that way now.”
