"Plus... I don't want to be treated as a toy by men."
Eliza lifted her hand and removed her watch. There was a prominent scar on her wrist. "Can you see this? This happened in my previous relationship. Everyone said that I approached Monte because of his status. In fact, I was really in love with him but he abandoned m e. I chose to kill myself, but I didn’t die. Hah. In the end, he mocked my attempt to kill myself and said it was a way of winning his sympathy."
Chester fixed his astonished gaze on the prominent scar on her wrist. He could not figure out why a cool person like her would kill herself.
How madly was she in love with Monte, that scumbag?
"I'm not Monte,” Chester said with a hoarse voice, " Monte chases after women to win their hearts and bodies, but I just want your body."
Eliza was stunned. Suddenly, she laughed. "Indeed, you're openly scummy. Are you trying to say that I’m not attractive at all except for my body?"
Chester's deep gaze was thought-provoking. "Maybe..."
"Fine. Ever since I entered this industry, I've seen people cutting corners. But if I take off my clothes in front of you today, I can do it in front of another man
tomorrow as well."
Eliza shook her head. "If I were to lead such a life, I'd rather leave this place."
"When a celebrity is at their lowest ebbs, do you know how many people will treat them as a laughing stock?" Chester teased.
"I know. Some celebrities have switched their careers t o become teachers and even sales people. Regardless, those are still jobs. Making 3,000 to 4,000 dollars per month is still enough to get by," Eliza responded indifferently.
Staring fixedly at her, Chester could not help but be convinced of her words.
There had been too many women around him who tried so hard to climb the ladder. Among them, Cindy was the most aggressive one.
However, Eliza was an exception. She was just as cool and clear as a pool of water.
She crammed her things into her suitcase and zipped i t up without looking at him. "Young Master Jewell, if you'd like to stay here, you can continue staying here. I'm going back to Canberra."
Once she finished speaking, she wanted to pick up the other suitcase.
