"Mr. Lawson, please donate your eyes to someone who needs them if you won't use them yourself."After Giselle said that, she put her phone away and lazily stood there. She didn't look scared at all when three people were attacking her.The more she acted that way, the more frustrated Jonathan felt. He didn't understand why she was still so arrogant when she clearly had nothing left. He wondered who gave her the confidence to act that way. Was it Chester?Not only did Chester not help her with the cyberbullying this time, but he even made things worse for her. So, Jonathan had to eliminate him as a possibility. In which case, who else could it be?Suddenly, Harry's name popped into Jonathan's mind, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made a sound. Then, he said with a scoff, "You sure are capable, Giselle!"Jonathan thought Giselle was more active than a social butterfly for changing partners nonstop. He couldn't believe she would actually go for someone as young as
Giselle looked uncaring, but her words and actions were the complete opposite. When she went all out, no one could get in her way. All three people in front of her had witnessed it before.When she uttered that last sentence, they all recalled bad memories at the same time. Among the three of them, Jonathan had the most terrible look on his face. He looked so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain over his head soon.At that moment, Giselle clearly had the situation in her control.Just as the mood was feeling tense, Charlotte received a call, and her face visibly turned pale. Then, her shoulders started trembling, and she looked weak.Vivian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Lottie? You look terrible. Do you feel unwell?"Hearing that, Jonathan finally looked away from Giselle. He moved his fingers a little, but he didn't support Charlotte at all.Charlotte's eyes teared up as she glared at Giselle. Then, she choked weakly, "Giselle! When did I ever mess with you? I did e
The onslaught of comments continued."I have a feeling that the Grants knew that Giselle wasn't their child since the beginning.""With a family as suffocating as that, I would never want to be a part of them, even if they're rich."After seeing the transaction records, photo evidence, and recordings, the people online could imagine how tough Giselle's childhood was.No thief would willingly live a life like that! It didn't matter even if Giselle had a great life with the Grants—she was clearly tortured!If it weren't for Giselle, Charlotte would've been the one being scolded and hurt instead. So, Giselle was clearly pitiful. Not only did she have to suffer, but she also had to pay the Grants five million dollars as compensation. She was paying to have a terrible life!With that thought in mind, the people online started discussing the situation again. However, it wasn't over yet. Giselle posted a timeline that incriminated Charlotte for interfering in her relationship.Giselle
Giselle's gaze was calm as she wasn't expressing any emotion at all.Jonathan was speechless at that moment. As his phone's screen dimmed, his hands fell to his sides, and there was a complicated look on his dashing face. He never knew Giselle was living a life like that with the Grants.The Lawsons and the Grants decided that their children would get married because of their elders' intentions.To the outside world, the Grants were out of everyone's league. At first, Jonathan really didn't want to be with Giselle. He cared a lot about hierarchies and thought a person like Giselle wasn't worthy to be his fiancée at all. However, his feelings for her slowly changed without him knowing.They had always been classmates, from elementary school to university, and he started liking her at the beginning of high school. Back then, he was so deeply in love with her that he would do anything for her. However, did he really like her?If Giselle hadn't exposed the truth at that moment, he nev
Giselle was surprised by Charlotte's words. It seemed she was truly shaken this time.But Giselle didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. She remained silent and waited for Jonathan's reaction. After all, Charlotte was Jonathan's lover.Jonathan glanced at Charlotte and muttered, "Okay."In the next second, Charlotte suddenly closed her eyes and collapsed into his arms.It happened out of nowhere.Jonathan instinctively caught her. However, Giselle saw through Charlotte's act and sneered. "You're such a romantic, Mr. Lawson."Charlotte's gentle persona crumbled under the evidence Giselle released. But Jonathan's reactions showed where his loyalty lay.Giselle didn't feel the least bit upset."Giselle..." Jonathan called out, but Giselle didn't give him any chance to continue."Calling out your ex's name with your fiancée in your arms doesn't seem appropriate, right, Mr. Lawson?"Hurry and take Charlotte to the hospital or she might fall into a coma." Giselle was too sharp to
Knowing Sam, Chester gave him a warning look. Sam immediately raised his hands in surrender, his expression turning into one of helplessness.He had been skeptical of the rumors, but his doubt was dispelled after seeing it with his own eyes.It was obvious that Chester had fallen. Another henpecked husband would soon join their ranks."Hello, I'm Giselle," Giselle greeted confidently.A flicker of admiration crossed Sam's eyes."I'm Sam, Harry's third brother. Thank you for looking after my little brother. I'll treat you to a meal someday." Sam was always enthusiastic toward the people he respected.Moreover, he had investigated Giselle and wouldn't have let Harry interact with her if she was problematic.Harry just turned 18 this year. With five older brothers protecting him, he didn't need to worry about anything else, which only resulted in Harry's naivety.As the three chatted, Harry emerged from the interrogation room. He walked over to Giselle and scanned her from head to
The post that Giselle made was supported with evidence and easy to understand.Sam wondered if he was being overly sensitive. His gut feeling told him that the Grants treated Giselle the way they did because they had long known that Giselle wasn't their biological daughter.When he voiced his thoughts, Chester agreed with him. The two of them were clearly on the same page.Once they got into the car, Sam asked, "What are you planning to do to Jonathan?"Chester removed his glasses, his lashes hiding his vicious gaze. His voice was casual yet laced with murderous intent. "I won't let anyone get away with hurting Gigi."Sam clicked his tongue at Chester's protectiveness. "Imagine how heartbroken Finley would be if she knew you had this side to you."Finley was the Stone family's adopted daughter. She had admired Chester since she was a child.Back in their school days, she would often chase after him, but her efforts were always met with indifference.Because of this, Sam and his
Charlotte looked up at Sebastian. There was a trace of anxiety in her eyes, and her pale face looked tense."What's wrong, Lottie?" Even though Sebastian's resentment was building, he still spoke patiently to her."I don't mind you going to Giselle for help... After all, she's been with us for over 20 years. She was targeting me when she made the post. It was me who dragged the Lawson family down." Charlotte choked on her words."Sebastian, you have to believe me. I didn't hire anyone to curse her, nor did I interfere in her relationship with Jonathan. I was very grateful to Jonathan for helping me with my university tuition fee, and I never had any romantic feelings for him." Charlotte would never admit it even if she did.Sebastian petted her head. "Lottie, I believe you. It's our fault for not realizing we raised an ungrateful person. As for Jonathan, you need to pay more attention going forward. Don't worry about the rest of the Lawson family. No one can steal your title as lon
Chester looked into Giselle's eyes as he raised the corners of his lips slightly. "You're my wife. You can do whatever you want."After his last accident, he had taken advantage of the situation with Giselle under the pretext of amnesia. He would call her his "wife" or "Gigi" interchangeably.Until now, he had not had the time to come clean to her about this. Chester needed more time.Giselle was overwhelmed by the sudden profession of love.For some reason, her entire body suddenly felt warm. She looked away quickly, rolled down the car window, and let the wind blow upon her face. It was only then that her pounding heart settled into a calm rhythm.Chester caught everything from beside her.A trace of delight flashed across his eyes at the speed of light. When their gaze met again, however, it had disappeared without a trace.Chester decided to take it slow and easy.He straightened up and said, "A new restaurant recently opened in the suburbs. Should we go there for lunch?"
"You don't have to explain anything. Me and Jonathan? We're just aunt and nephew to each other."You're trying to ask him out, aren't you? When you finally win him over, don't forget to address me as Aunt Giselle, okay?"It was a soul-crushing blow.Giselle used their unique relationship as an opportunity to attack them without mercy!The greatest part about this was that they could not do anything to her.Charlotte's and Jonathan's expressions matched, which was a rare sight. Jonathan clenched his teeth in anger. His eyes hardened as he said, "Giselle, you're truly something else!"She knew to hit where it hurt. How did he not know that Giselle had this side to her?Giselle feigned humility. "You're too kind."The whole fiasco between the trio was becoming something of a movie to the passersby. Even when lunchtime was almost over, they were reluctant to leave.Some really were born with the talent to gossip.If they had to choose between money and gossip-worthy news, they
One could easily find Giselle's, Chester's, and Jonathan's names online through related keywords.The news came from an insider, so the credibility was 99.99%.The atmosphere between the two became heated.When Jonathan finally managed to suppress his negative emotions, Giselle's phone rang. Instantly, his heart skipped a beat. Alarm bells started to ring in his head.Sure enough…"I'm sorry, Chester. I forgot that you're no longer at Lawson Group."Giselle addressed Chester affectionately without any hesitation.She did this on purpose, of course.Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was so mad that he could even kill someone right now.But when Jonathan recalled his mother's admonition after his fight with Chester, he did his best to hold his anger back.From the phone, Chester could be heard saying, "Just stay there. I'll come over right now."When the call ended, Giselle could hear Jonathan's sneer. "Do you have to get on my nerves, Giselle?"His resentment was as cle
Jonathan was practically running on autopilot mode as his legs carried him toward Giselle.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for Chester's reply.All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a familiar voice that called, "Gigi."Both of them were good-looking people. Their standing side by side drew many people's attention.Passersby—including the employees—looked in their direction. They had even slowed down subconsciously as they walked by, just to catch a glimpse.Giselle's gaze went from casual to chilling in a split second.There was coldness hidden in her eyes, and a look of vexation settled on her face.Giselle took two steps away from him, putting some distance between them.Jonathan felt like someone was gripping his heart tight, making him feel suffocated.Dismay instantly replaced the feeling of excitement he had felt earlier. He stared at Giselle with woeful eyes. "Gigi…"Giselle did not buy into his words and pitiful act.She grunted. "Jonathan, is this h
An hour later, the car arrived at Lawson Group.The sky looked gray and hazy, while the air was hot.It was now lunchtime, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the building. Giselle texted Chester, letting him know that she had arrived.At the same time, Jonathan, in his sleep-deprived state, was staring at his phone. The expression on his face was so dark that Rick, his assistant, was trembling with fear when he came in to brief Jonathan on his schedule. He did not even dare to breathe."M-Mr. Lawson…""This had better be important!"Jonathan was like an explosive that could detonate any second.Rick gulped. "Mr. Lawson, I've notified the board that the meeting will be held at the conference room at 2:00 pm…"His voice trailed off at the end.With a loud bang, Jonathan threw his phone to the ground.When it crashed onto the floor, the screen shattered into pieces.That immediately shut Rick up.Ever since Jonathan had returned from the hospital, his temper had
It was the weekend today, so the café was crowded.The chaos swallowed the woman's voice. Nevertheless, Giselle could still hear her clearly.She paused for a moment to ruminate on the things the woman had just said.Her husband had an affair, and the mistress happened to be a very cunning person. More importantly, the woman's daughter was on the mistress' side.To be hit with betrayal on both sides knocked the wind out of her. Every day, the woman had been drowning in her own tears.Judging from her mental state, depression seemed imminent.Giselle took a sip of her coffee before she asked with a calm tone, "The reason you've approached me is because you want to get back together with your husband and daughter, is that it?"In the public's eye, Giselle was someone who helped mend relationships. In fact, she was a professional who had been mending relationships for a long time.One could just search her name on the internet and find nothing but positive reviews.A majority of
Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today. Videos from the live stream had gone viral.Obviously, it was not from her own live stream but a third party's.Her fans, who had gone down to the location, had captured everything on camera. There was an explosion of comments beneath related videos.One of the videos was of Jonathan. It had been edited to look like he was the hero coming to his damsel's rescue.With the accompaniment of some background
In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle. But if he was so madly in love with her, why did he cheat on her?And if he was not madly in love with her, then why had he not gotten over her yet?But wait. The reason he was still not over her was mainly due to t
It was merely a second ago when Giselle had told him to keep a distance from her, yet she was now in his car voluntarily.Jonathan did not move an inch. He still had his back against the inside of the car door as he faced Giselle, intently looking at her."Women are really fickle. Giselle must still have feelings for me. She's just too proud to admit it," he thought to himself.As for the rumors about her and Chester, they might just be putting on an act.Giselle did not know that Jonathan was in the process of gaslighting himself. When she noticed that he was not about to drive any time soon, she frowned and said, "If you're not going to drive, scram."Only then did Jonathan fix his position. He started the engine, and they headed for the hospital.At first, he was in a joyous mood. He tagged behind Giselle upon arrival at the hospital. It was not until he had reached a ward and saw who was seated on the hospital bed that his expression turned sullen.Giselle had gotten into
