Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

Charity withdrew her hand. "Drive carefully."

Just as Chester was about to change gears, his phone rang.

He glanced at the notification of the incoming call, and a trace of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

"Answer it." Charity picked up his phone for him and tapped the 'answer' button. Then, the sound of Madam Jewell's weeping rang out.

"Chester, hurry up and come home. I don't know why, but your dad has been taken away. They claimed he was involved in corruption and gambling. How could your dad have done these things?"

"You're looking for the wrong person. You should look for Cindy. She's a good family member of yours," Chester said derisively.

"Don't behave like this, Chester. That girl isn't picking up my calls, so I can only rely on you right now. Your dad can't go to jail. Those old friends of his aren't picking up my calls too." Madam Jewell said tearfully, "If you don't come home now, I'll hit my head against the wall and kill myself."

"Why don't you go and take a look?" Charity asked.

Madam Jewell asked, "Who is that? Who is talking beside you? Is it Charity? Both of you-"

"If you dare tell me off, you'll never see me again," Chester immediately interrupted her. He seemed to know what his mother wanted to say.

Madam Jewell immediately went quiet. All she did was continue weeping bitterly on the other end.

"I'll come over in a moment." Once Chester ended the call, he turned around and asked Charity, "Are you willing to come along?"

Charity nodded. "Do you want to call Ken back?"

"No need. Now that something has happened to my dad, do you think those bodyguards will stay?" Chester mocked.

50 minutes later, the car drove into the Jewell family's villa.

The minute Madam Jewell saw the car, she ran out with hair in a mess. "Chester, you're finally back. You must save your dad. We mustn't let anything happen to him. If he goes to jail, I don't want to live anymore."

Charity figured that Madam Jewell was probably unaware that Chester was the instigator of the matter.

Nevertheless, some things were better left unknown.

"He broke the law and committed a crime. Why shouldn't he go to jail?" Chester questioned.

Madam Jewell grabbed Charity and said, "Lizzie, aren't you good friends with Freya? She's the prime minister's goddaughter and the girlfriend of the prime minister's son. You can easily pull some strings with her, and I can even pay you. As long as you agree, I'll approve of my son marrying you and having you as my daughter-in-law."

Chester's face was burning, and he had never felt so humiliated. He dragged Madam Jewell away. "Didn't you look down on her before? Yet now that you want to take advantage of her, you speak so well of her. Why do I have such a mother? Stop making things difficult for Eliza. She won't be able to help you with this matter. Besides, there's no way the prime minister's family would take bribes."

"Chester, I'll kneel before you." Bawling, Madam Jewell was about to sink to her knees.

However, Chester did not allow her to kneel. Instead, he pulled her up. "It's no use kneeling to me. If I must say, you and Dad were obsessed with money. Wasn't the money I gave you enough to spend? With over one billion dollars in hand, you had money to burn, yet you were so discontented that you banded together with the Patterson family. The Patterson family was involved in gambling, money laundering, and so on. Speaking of crimes alone, they've committed over ten."

Madam Jewell shook his shoulder. "If you don't save your dad, I'll kill myself in front of you."

Chester's eyes flashed with hatred. "Mom, my patience has its limits. You've been needing blood over the years because of your illness, and for you to receive blood donation, I've been very patient with Cindy. I even put up with you when you tricked me. Of course, you don't see all of that because all you care about is yourself and Dad. Your life is yours. If you don't treasure it, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't possibly force you to live."

He withdrew his arm. "You need to let go. Even if Dad goes to jail, you can get someone to look after you. If you can't let go, there's nothing I can do."

With that, he turned around and got into the car.noveldrama
