Charity stared intently at the arm that she was pressing on with both hands.
It was bony.
"Finn tempted me into helping him using 20 billion dollars.”
"20 billion dollars.” Chester laughed. "That's quite a large sum of money. The Carlson family is putting in a lot of money to get what they want.”
"What do you need me to do?" Charity asked directly.
"Will you agree to do whatever I ask you to do? You're suddenly so nice that I’m not used to it.” While Chester was speaking, his brows raised a little.
"I'm not that despicable." Charity looked down. "I'm not the kind who'll kick a man when he's down."
"I know." Chester's gentle gaze was fixed on her. "If Cindy hadn’t exposed what you said on the Internet, Finn wouldn't have looked for you and tried tempting you."
Charity recalled what she had said earlier. She told Madam Jewell that Chester willingly saved her and that she did not beg him to do so.
That remark was indeed cruel.
"Just promise Finn,” Chester said all of a sudden.
Charity was dumbfounded as she did not expect Chester to say that. "I thought... you’d want me to help you or your dad."
"My dad isn’t competent enough.” Chester forced a bitter laugh. "Back when Jewell Corporation hadn't expanded to this scale, the company nearly went bankrupt under my dad's leadership. If I hadn’t returned to the country and turned the tide, Jewell Corporation wouldn't exist. Even though he has been the chairman over the years, I've never allowed him to intervene in anything company-related. All he does is socialize with others. To be frank, his competence is far from any other directors'.”
"Your dad would probably get mad if he heard this." Charity was stunned.
