The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 184
Thinking that another person was eyeing Chester, Finley's face fell, and she clenched her fists tightly. She knew a man like him would have a lot of admirers.Back when they were still studying, his desk would always be full of confession letters. Wherever he went, there would be people confessing to him as well.At first, Finley felt insecure. But after seeing him reject everyone, she stopped worrying about it. Since he wasn't even interested in someone as impressive as her, she figured she didn't need to waste her time being jealous of people who couldn't compare to her.She stayed strong throughout the 26 years of her life, and Chester remained her favorite person in the world. She wouldn't marry anyone else but him.Finley once tried to skip a grade so that she could be his classmate. However, as soon as she successfully did it, he left. She could never keep up with him. Consequently, all she could do was admire him from behind.She only managed to talk to Chester a little thr

"I'm sorry," Giselle instinctively apologized.Chester didn't say anything in response. All he could focus on was the subtle scent coming from her. His gaze darkened, and he hurriedly looked downward, suppressing the sudden feelings within him.Seeing how intimate they looked, Jasmine was infuriated. Her face distorted in anger, and she couldn't feel any pain when she dug her nails into her palm."Giselle, why are you here?" she asked.Giselle was so dumbfounded that she almost rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? We were having lunch here, so what were you doing standing outside? I didn't know you enjoyed eavesdropping, Ms. Sinclair."That last sentence caught Jasmine by surprise, and she glared at Giselle. Her sources didn't tell her that there was another woman with Chester. When she confessed to him outside the toilet last time, she heard him saying that he had a girlfriend. He even pulled someone into his embrace.However, Jasmine was too drunk to see th

Giselle and Finley stood face to face, and the latter looked terrible. She was looking at Giselle with a gaze full of hostility.Surprised, Harry asked, "Finley, why are you here?"When she saw the innocent, dashing face, Finley felt frustrated. She suppressed her anger and said coldly, "I'm having lunch with Vivi and the rest."After saying that, she asked back, "Why didn't you answer when I called you?"She didn't dare interrogate Chester, worried that she might dislike her for it. Regardless of the circumstances, she was still the only woman who was able to stay by his side for so long.Although Chester didn't reply to her messages, he still hadn't deleted her as a friend yet. That proved to her that she still had a place in his heart. After she was done comforting herself, her frown slowly eased up."Did you call me?" Harry sounded surprised. He took out his phone and noticed the screen wouldn't turn on. So, he shrugged helplessly and said, "See, Finley? I wasn't ignoring you
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 187
Finley took a step forward. "Chester…""Ms. Sinclair, I'm sure we're not that close, correct?" Finley could tell he was annoyed at that moment. Her face became pale immediately as she said, "Please don't say that, Chester. We've known each other for a long time now."To be specific, she started noticing him when she started high school. Back then, she had already decided that she would marry him and be the great Mrs. Fordham.She was still a young woman at the time, and when she told her family about it, they liked the idea. That said, they later started to talk her out of it, and she didn't know why. They told her there were a lot of great men in the world and that she shouldn't be too hung up on Chester.Her family even introduced Jonathan to her. However, they both had someone else in their hearts, so they tacitly avoided talking about getting into a relationship. They didn't even contact each other that much, so it wouldn't be farfetched to say that they weren't even friends.

"No! Absolutely not! Chet would always ignore Finley!" Harry explained anxiously while waving his hands in the air, worried that Giselle might misunderstand the situation.He seldom saw Finley and Chester hanging out alone. The last time this happened was a few years ago. It was New Year's Day, and the Stones were visiting the Fordhams for the holidays. Back then, Chester had just returned to the country, so he was at home too.Finley was the picture of passion around him, but he was always cold toward her. He never even gave her a chance to be alone with him. Conversely, he rejected her displays of affection without hesitation.Chester was a role model to Harry, and the latter was determined not to follow in Sam's footsteps! Sam was nice to every woman he met. He was basically a playboy!"Giselle, you don't have to believe in everyone you meet, but you have to trust Chet. He's the best guy in the world!"Then, Harry started bragging about Chester. The way he exaggerated when he d
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 189
However, the man before her was Chester. Giselle looked straight into his eyes. He wasn't avoiding her gaze, so she figured he wasn't lying. With that, the last hint of frustration in her heart was gone completely.Chester stood up straight and opened the door like a gentleman. "It's cold outside, Ms. Stone. Why don't we talk in the car?"The backseat of the luxurious car was spacious, and he sat opposite her. He crossed his legs and had a thin laptop on his knees. After rubbing the bridge of his nose, he put his glasses back on. As the light from the laptop's screen reflected on his glasses, she couldn't see his eyes clearly.In an instant, all they could hear in the car were their quiet breaths and the keys clacking on Chester's laptop.Giselle couldn't help looking at him, and various weird thoughts came to her mind. She even started to think about some embarrassing things that she had tried so hard to forget. She hurriedly looked away and forced the memory out of her mind."
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 190
There was no emotion in Chester's deep voice. He looked out the window at a black Maybach that was stopped near them. The number plate of the car was special, and it showed how well-respected the person inside the car was. It was the car Jonathan drove around the most.Chester coldly looked away. He didn't care that Jonathan was there, nor did he wonder why his nephew was there at that hour.Meanwhile, Vivian and Jonathan were sitting side by side in the Maybach. Finley and Lindsay weren't around as they had gone their separate ways after leaving the restaurant.Vivian rubbed her eyes in a daze. When she realized they weren't at the Lawson residence, she asked while half-awake, "Jon, why are we here? Mom told us to be home early…"When she saw how cold Jonathan looked, she didn't know what was on his mind. He kept gazing darkly at the building their car was facing. Larry had told him that this was where Giselle was staying.If Jonathan remembered correctly, Chester had bought a un

Chester had been wearing the same clothes earlier, so Giselle was certain the photo wasn't taken in advance. He really had reached home. Upon realizing that, she couldn't help feeling stunned for a moment.She used to have a client whose husband was a capable man. They were in a long-distance relationship and would talk to each other every day. Even though they had been dating for two years, they still seemed deeply in love with each other.However, after looking into him, they realized the man she was with was actually just a man hired to talk to her. As for her actual boyfriend, he was busy cosying up to other women.Every photo and video she received were prepared in advance. The hired man would send them to her over the next month or two.If it weren't for a certain woman coming to her door one day, Giselle's client would still be in the dark until this day. Fortunately, she managed to cut her losses before they were married.Suddenly, Giselle received a message from Chester t

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
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 363
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
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 358
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
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 357
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
