Chapter 2031


    However, Eliza was the sort who would seek vengeance. From the moment she learned of Jennifer’s


    death, she had lost herposure.


    She even felt that her only goal of living was to take revenge.


    As she was upying someone else’s body, her life had been meaningless.


    Eliza’s eyes slowly turned red with pain. She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.


    It was Chester’s first  time seeing her in such a state. He felt as though a stone was thrown into his


    heart, creatingyers of ripples.


    He stretched out his hands, wanting to hug her.


    However, Eliza retreated and pushed him away. “ Chester, thank you for hiding the issue for me


    yesterday, but the only feeling I have for you is gratitude. You sacrificed Freya to help me, so it’s


    impossible for me to feel touched.”


    Chester fixed his cold gaze at her. “Eliza, why must you be so realistic?” “You’re the real one.”

    Eliza stared calmly into his eyes. He was very good- looking and always exuded a brilliant aura, but


    she would never have feelings for him. She would not feel grateful for him either. “In fact, you could’ve


    settled the issue for mest night. Unfortunately, I reckoned you contemted it and didn’t think it was


    worth risking to help me, so you dragged Freya into the mess. This way, you were able to help me and


    stay out of it at the same time. You and Rodney will remain good buddies, and you’ll get a good name


    for saving me. How wonderful.”


    “Eliza, do you know what I like about you?” Her stare made Chester ufortable, considering that he


    was usually the one casting knowing gazes at other women.


    Nevertheless, a woman saw through him today, which made him feel exasperated.


    Chester reached out to pinch Eliza’s chin. “I like how smart and calm you are. However, these are also


    the qualities I hate about you. You’re right. I haven’t slept with you, so I don’t want you to die. Even so, I


    won’t have a falling-out with Rodney just because of you.”


    “Thank you for being so frank.”


    Eliza pushed his hand away and nodded confidently. “That’s why I said I’m grateful to you, and that’s


    the only feeling I have for you. Thank you for your help. I’ll bring more money to yourpany in the


    future. I need to visit Freya in the hospital today.”


    Chester did not stop her. Instead, he followed behind her, and his tone sounded like he was mocking


    her. “Are you sure you’re going out in this outfit? If the reporters catch a picture of you, you’ll make it to


    the top searches tomorrow — The Rising Star Came Out of Her Boss’s Apartment in Improper


    Clothing.”


    “Will someone who’s willing to risk her life care about the top searches?”


    After Eliza argued serenely, she walked to the door and needed to change her shoes. However, she


    realized that none of her shoes were there.


    She hesitated for a few seconds. Left with no choice, she wore a pair of slippers and prepared to leave


    straight away.


    “ Stop there. You’re wearing my slippers, ” Chester reminded herzily.


    Eliza tossed the slippers aside without hesitation and left barefoot.


    Chester tugged her shirt and pointed at it. “Excuse me. I’ve thrown your shirt away earlier because it


    was too dirty. The pajama shirt you’re wearing now is mine as well.”


    No matter how much Eliza hated him, she could not walk out naked.


    She stopped and red at the man in front of her. “ How much did this pajama shirt cost? I’ll pay you


    ten times the price when I’m home, okay?”


    “ I don’t want your money. Money is something I need the least.” Chester took a cigarette pack from the


    shoe rack, drew a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. “I didn’t sleepst night because of you. No matter


    how realistic I am, it’s a fact that I helped youst night. You can’t deny it, right?”


    Eliza pulled a long face, waiting for him to continue.
