Chapter 2704

“I have to follow the prime minister overseas tomorrow. I need to go back and make preparations
beforehand.”

Max spoke frustratedly.

“Didn’t you say you’re on leave tomorrow?” Charity’s eyes gleamed.

“That’s right. There were last-minute changes.” Max’s gaze was strange. “I even asked you to go
shopping for clothes with me. It seems like it can’t be done.”

“Let’s wait until you return.”

After seeing Max off, Charity received Chester’s message very soon. [If you have Max’s best interests
at heart, keep a distance from him.] As expected…

Charity had a vague feeling that the matter was related to Chester.

She did not expect it…

However, it was normal. After all, the Jewell family had been established in Canberra for tens of years.
If it were not for her making the previous issue a big deal in public, Chester would surely have had a
way to escape being sentenced to jail.

The next day.

Charity was awakened by Catherine’s call.

“I wanted to call you right after returning yesterday, but I was afraid of disturbing you and Max’s alone
time…” Catherine chuckled. ‘What did you guys do afterward?”



“Have sex.”

“Ahem… That’s fast.” Catherine, who was having breakfast, choked from the shock.

“You believe it?” charity laughed, “when did you become like Freya?”

Catherine was a little disappointed. “I never thought you’d joke around with me.”

Charity was taken aback.

She was actually a pretty rigid person.

She no longer smiled often, especially after transmigrating, not to mention making jokes.

However, after coming clean about her identity yesterday, she became much more relaxed.

“This is pretty good,” Catherine said sincerely. “Many things have happened, and the people who
passed away can’t revive. Nevertheless, we still hope that you’ll come out of the shadows as soon as
possible and be happier.”



“Thank you.”

Charity took some black soybeans out of the refrigerator. She planned to make some soy milk in the
morning.

She wanted to treat herself better from that moment onward.

“By the way, Charity, I called because I wanted to tell you that I’ve fished some information from Hugo
when I talked to him yesterday. It looks like he came to Canberra because Monte wants to



collaborate on businesses in Newcastle with him.”

Charity was astonished. “Newcastle is a famous city for gambling. They mainly focus on developing its
tourism and gambling industry.”

“I think Monte is planning to get involved in the latter,” Catherine said. “That’s a very profitable industry.
Moreover, the Patterson family is engaged in the hotel industry. They can get to know many wealthy
people. Besides, from what I heard from Hugo, the Patterson family’s hotels aren’t doing as well as
they look on the surface. Many creative, new hotels have opened now. They’re well sought after by
young people. If Monte wants to inherit the hotels, he has to produce some results.”

“This is interesting. ” Charity had a playful expression. “I think Hugo wants to curry favor with you.”

“That’s for sure. Hugo wants to get acquainted with Uncle Titus through me,” Catherine said as she
smiled. “Why? Do you want me to help you?”

“I just thought of a way to bring Monte down even faster,” charity said. “In Australia, there are strict
regulations for operating a gambling business. Since he wants to do it, I’ll lend him a hand.”

“I get it.” Catherine figured everything out. “Actually, Hugo and Monte’s relationship is just so-so.
They’re friends who have only had a few meals and rounds of drinks together. Hugo is very clever.”

“Isn’t him being clever a good thing? It’ll be easy to make a deal with him.” Charity smiled. “But I’ll have
to trouble you.”

“It’s fine. Hugo does have some influence in Newcastle. Getting to know such a

person isn’t bad. Besides… I’ve always felt bad,” Catherine said all of a sudden.
