Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1461
“Eliza, you don’t have to act innocent,” Chester said with a snort, “Everyone knows that Monte has messed around with you before this.”
Chester was taken aback by this remark that came out of his own mouth.
He knew that he had always spoken nastily, but he did not expect himself to be this nasty.
It was not his intention to humiliate Eliza when he came here. However, seeing her attitude… He just went out of control.
Eliza widened her pretty eyes.
She probably did not expect to hear such a remark from Chester as well.
Silence filled the lounge for a short while. Chester thought she would fly into a rage, but she lifted her chin with her eyebrows arched arrogantly. “ So are you unhappy because I turned you down and didn’t let you fool around with me?
Chester’s eyes darkened. He stood up and approached her slowly. “Eliza, are you trying to provoke me?”
“I don’t know what you mean by that. Am I supposed to show an aggrieved and tearful look in front of you to make myself seem as though I fell for a scumbag instead of being played around with?” Eliza shrugged in a self-deprecating and frank manner. “Even if I behave that way, you won’t take pity on me. You’d rather see me as a phony who’s trying to retain my dignity even though I’m a b*tch.”
She was overly forthright in her words.
Chester felt dumbfounded for a few seconds. A moment later, a bizarre glint flashed across the depths of his eyes. With a flirtatious tone, he said, “ You’re right, Eliza. You know me so well despite having known me just a short while ago.”
“After talking to you a few times, I’m pretty clear about what kind of person you are. Aren’t all wealthy young men like you equally awful?” Eliza turned around and took a light green dress off the hanger. “I don’t want to be dragged into this mess anymore. Unlike men, women will develop feelings after sleeping with someone for a long time. But for men, they feel increasingly bored of the women they sleep with because the feeling of novelty has worn off.”
“You really… understand men. Did you learn this from Monte?” Chester’s brows revealed a glint of coldness.
“Don’t you already know what happened between Monte and me?” Eliza frowned with a trace of doubt. “Please go out first. I need to change my clothes.”
