Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1348 Elizaâs cold eyes were full of indifference. After waiting quietly for him for a while and noticing that he did not continue his sentence, she continued to eat.
Her indifferent attitude made Chesterâs eyes turn cold. âWhy arenât you saying anything?â
â I donât know what to say. If I say I donât want to attract your attention, youâll call me hypocritical. If I say I do want to attract your attention, youâll call me cheap.â
Eliza ate a slice of fish, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it before saying, â So I should shut up, lest you threaten to shut me out again.â
Chester looked at her slow movements, and the undercurrents in the depths of his eyes surged.
Freya wanted to speak up for Eliza at first. However, she burst out laughing after hearing Elizaâs words.
â Thatâs true. Men are so senseless sometimes. Letâs eat.â
Halfway through, Chester got up and went to the washroom.
When he was washing his hands, Shaun came out from behind. âHey, you really embarrassed me tonight. Cathy was the one who invited Eliza. I donât care what grievances youâve had with her before.
Did you need to target her so many times during the meal?â
âDid I?â Chester did not react to it at all.
âDidnât you?â Shaun glanced at him sideways. âLet me describe what you look like now. You look like you want to sleep with her, but she has rejected you, so youâ re unreconciled and want to ruin her fun in order to find a sense of being.â
âYouâre nuts.â Chester scolded him.
âYou never used to be like this.â Shaun pulled a paper towel and wiped his hands.
Chester frowned and took a drag on his cigarette. âBy the way, why is Eliza here? When did Freya and Catherine know her?â
âIâm not too sure either. I saw her sitting with Cathy and the others when I finished the lawsuit. Rodney said they only met today.â
âEliza went to see you in court?â Chester raised his brows.
âYeah.â
Shaun then went into the gents.
When they returned to the room, they found Elizaâs seat empty.
âEliza said something came up, so she left.â Freya looked at Chester frustratingly. âYoung Master Jewell, I know that Eliza is only an actor in your eyes. You can look down on her, but you canât go too far with your words.â
Perhaps itâs because she came from Melbourne that she resented the superiority of the nobles in Canberra.
If it were in the past, she would endure it. However, she was now Nathan Snowâs adopted daughter, so she did not want to tolerate it.
âDonât make it seem like all women want you for your money and status. Yes, there are women like that, butâ¦â
âHow long have you known Eliza?â Chester interrupted her. âTwo hours? Three hours? Do you know her true personality?â
âYes, weâve known each other for a short time, but thereâs affinity when it comes to making friends.
Itâs like⦠that year when Cathy and I liked being friends with Charity, but you men didnât. â Freya sneered. âWhat do you like? Sarah, or types like Cindy?â
Chester narrowed his eyes coldly. Rodney understood Chester well and knew that he was getting angry. As such, he quickly said, âFreya, cut the cr*p. Maybe Eliza is an artiste in Chesterâs company, so Chester knows her a little better.
Besides, your status isnât ordinary now. Many people will deliberately try to curry favor with you. You have to be a little wary.â
Freya found his words ear-piercing. âThank you for your reminder. Although I donât have many friends, I know what kind of friends I do have. At the very least, since I was young, I have never made any mistake except for befriending Cindy.â
