Some truths were becoming apparent.
"No."
However, Chester could not believe it at all. "This is impossible. If Charity was really Reborn, what about Eliza? How can Eliza be explained? She doesn't know a thing about finance, so who's helping her behind the scenes? Don't forget that Charity... is already dead. If she was Reborn, it means that Reborn is gone too. Della and the other people are Wall Street's elites. They can't possibly be following Eliza without a reason."
"That's my biggest doubt too."
Ken continued to flip through the documents below. “But what surprised me more after I kept investigating was that
Eliza's mother has a few estates overseas. It's worth as much as a few billion dollars. They were all bought two years ago."
"Isn’t her mother an ordinary housewife in the countryside?"
Chester had even met Eliza’s father before. He was a gambling addict who led a life of pleasure. He abused his ex-wife and kept exploiting Eliza for the sake of the son he had with another woman.
"That's right. Her mother only completed middle school. She's still living an ordinary life in a house with two bedrooms in a small town now." Ken spoke his thoughts," I’ve never seen such a puzzling matter."
Chester did not as well.
"These houses must be Eliza's investments overseas using her mother's name.
However, you suspected that she’s not the real Reborn just now. Then where did she get the money to buy properties worth a few billion dollars? From being a celebrity? Stop kidding. Look at her age."
Chester shared his analysis. "Adding up Ferra Film Group and Jewell Corporation's shares, her properties overseas and in Canberra, she must have at least tens of billions of dollars of assets."
That woman was on his bed some time ago and said that having sex with him did not bring her any money or benefits. She also hinted that he should buy her houses and cars.
As he recalled that, Chester felt as if he was slapped in the face.
F*ck.
"Okay.”
Ken turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and hesitated to say something.
“Do you still have something to say?" Chester asked.
Erm... President Jewell, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Ken asked hesitantly.
Chester was taken aback. His face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about?”
"I think there are many things in this world that can't be explained by usual logic," Ken said sheepishly. "Have you seen Eliza's previous works?"
"I'm not interested in TV shows," Chester said indifferently.
