Max then spun the gun in his hand and tucked it back at his waist coolly. His gaze was sharp and firm. "I just saw a weak woman getting bullied in Canberra, and she sought my help. As the prime minister's guard who happened to witness it, I naturally couldn’t sit by and watch.
Does President Jewell think me lending her a hand is equivalent to going against Jewell Corporation? Or do you think you’re above the law because of your identity?"
Even Chester did not dare to take such a huge accusation lightly.
He narrowed his eyes coldly, not expecting Max would be so ignorant.
"Not only did Eliza offend me, but she even injured my leg. Shouldn’t I hold her accountable for it?" Chester raised his leg, which was bleeding. "Since you want to uphold justice, who would take responsibility for my injury?"
"You were the one who wanted to strangle me to death first."
Eliza lifted her neck, revealing the red finger marks, and said hoarsely, "You almost strangled me to death. Hurting your leg is just for self-defense. Why? Do you think you can simply decide on a person's life or death just because you're the president of Jewell Corporation? If I hadn't been so lucky today, I might’ve died in your villa."
When Max saw the finger marks on her neck, his gaze turned grim. "President Jewell, how impressive. I just learned today that the rich and powerful can sentence someone to death."
Chester’s expression twisted in anger." How could I have strangled her in a wheelchair? In fact, she was the one who berated me."
"No matter what, I have to report today's matter to the police. I want to have a professional evaluate the condition of my injury." While Eliza spoke, she took out her phone and immediately called the police.
Chester glared straight at her. His handsome face was intimidating. "Very well, Eliza. You've really offended me now. My last name won't be Jewell if I don't teach you a lesson."
After giving Eliza a vicious warning, he said to a bodyguard, "Send me to the hospital."
If his leg did not get treated soon, it would be crippled.
Only after Chester got into his car and left did Max look away. He stared at Eliza helplessly and painfully. "You were too reckless this time. Have you ever thought about the consequences if I weren't in Canberra? You might not even be able to walk out of the villa's door after that fallout with Chester. He isn't as simple as the outsiders see him.”
