Chapter 2682
“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

“You’re smart.” Chester, who sat opposite her, stared at her small face.

“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...
