If Chester really told Monte that Charity had a boyfriend, it would disrupt her plans.
Max gave Charity a quick glance. He saw that her brows were knitted together into a tight frown.
He knew her too well.
“Stop…” Max withdrew his hand and stopped Chester.
“What’s wrong? You don’t mind your girlfriend getting too close to her ex boyfriend?” Chester smiled
vaguely. “Let me remind you that Eliza’s first man was Monte. She loved him to the extent that she
attempted suicide before.”
Max smiled bitterly.
He did mind, of course, he would mind.
However, he did not want to put Charity in a difficult spot and affect her plans.
“Let him call Monte. He can call him as many times as he wants.” Charity suddenly looked toward
Chester indifferently. “You can do whatever you like. I no longer want to be controlled by anyone,
especially you, Chester. You have to be clear that we don’t have a relationship where you can control
me. Actually, I’m quite aware of why you came here.”
“Oh, tell me about it.” Chester had a playful expression.
“It’s because you’ve never suffered such a major setback in front of a woman before. You might have a
little admiration and hatred toward me. You might be eager to conquer me now. Compared to just
getting revenge on a woman, conquering her and then destroying her cruelly gives you more
satisfaction and fulfills the twisted feelings in your heart.
Charity stared at him calmly. “You even treat me as your private property.”
Chester was taken aback. His gaze gradually darkened. “Your analysis is pretty interesting.”
“Chester, you have to accept a fact. I’m not the Eliza you could simply control in the past or any other
woman. I’m Reborn.
From the day I truly started competing against you, I knew that your confidence stemmed from Jewell
Corporation.
However, Jewell Corporation is no longer what it was in the past. I’m not a woman that you can easily
offend anymore. Your old methods no longer work on me.” Charity snapped her fingers as she spoke.
Steven and other people walked out of the courtyard.
Chester was biting his cigarette that had almost finished smoking. His expression was cold. “You have
people with you, but do you think I don’t?
“Are you sure you want to create a huge commotion just after being released from prison?” Charity
reminded him, “I don’t mind going to prison for a few months. I’m unemployed anyway. But you… Can
you still afford to wait?”
“…Okay.”
Chester stared at Charity for what felt like a century.
He took two steps backward. His slender finger pointed toward Max. He smiled. “ You like her?”
Max frowned.
A hint of hostility flashed across Chester’s brows. “You’d better stay away from her. If not, you’ll regret
it.”
After speaking, he got in the car and left.
Max let out a tsk as he watched the car’s leaving silhouette.
When he turned his head, he saw Charity frowning slightly.
“Charity, you couldn’t possibly have believed his nonsense, right?” Max said, “ Don’t worry. I’m not a
pushover.”
“Chester isn’t that simple of a person.” Charity’s gaze was complicated. “You shouldn’t keep appearing
by my side. Being targeted by Chester isn’t a good thing.”
“I don’t care. If worse comes to worst, I’ll quit my job,” Max said without a care. “ With my fighting skills,
I can come to you and be your bodyguard, right?”
Charity was speechless. “You don’t want to work for the prime minister and get a promotion but want to
come to my side and be a bodyguard instead? Aren’t you afraid of angering your parents to death?”
“You’re richer than the prime minister,” Max said with a smile. “Money talks.”
He had a good point there. She could not retort to him at all.
At that moment, Max’s phone rang. After picking up the call, his expression darkened.
