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
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.

discussion for the sake of Jewell Corporation’s future.”
“Since you say so, what else can I say? Lead the way.”

Della immediately followed.
Chester watched her slender figure from behind. A hint of wickedness flashed across his eyes before he went after

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.

“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...
