Sebastian was stunned speechless, suspecting that Giselle was there to make things worse for them. Usually, people would start talking them out of fighting at this point. However, that wasn't what Giselle was doing at all. Instead, she was doing the exact opposite—like a maniac egging on violence.Anthony chuckled mysteriously and put his hands in his pockets before shrugging. With that, his staredown with Sebastian ended."I'm at fault here. I was the one who took Yarick away and forgot to tell Ms. Scott about it. I'm terribly sorry." He apologized so sincerely that Wendy couldn't say anything about it, no matter how angry she was.He was definitely guilty of making everyone work for nothing. Still, it was fortunate that Yarick was fine.The boy hid in Wendy's embrace. Since he was tired after having so much fun that day, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.While Anthony was giving his statement, Henry arrived to deliver the promised food.Jim cleared out the lounge so th
After Giselle brought Wendy to a hotel, she said to the latter, "Let me know if you need anything, Wendy. And if you're sure about the divorce, tell Emma about it."Having calmed down fully, Wendy tucked Yarick in bed before seeing Giselle out of the room. Just as Giselle stepped into the elevator, Wendy suddenly asked, "Gigi… Why are you encouraging me to get a divorce?"The thought of having a divorce had already been on her mind since last year. She told her friends and family about it, but no one ever supported her idea.Everyone told her that Sebastian was a good man with great looks and an impressive background. They also mentioned how he wouldn't spend his time and money fooling around outside. Because of that, they couldn't believe Wendy would actually think about getting a divorce instead of cherishing him.They even called her crazy for that. After being told the same thing over and over again, Wendy couldn't help but doubt herself. When she married Sebastian back then, o
Finley looked at Giselle's back and hid her feelings so well that no one would be able to tell how she felt at all. Besides, she also had a higher social status than Charlotte."Hey, we're talking about you here. Didn't you hear Ms. Stone's question? I don't remember seeing you around here. Who let you in?"Finley's lackeys immediately recognized the situation to be the best opportunity to stand out in front of her. As they spoke, they took a step forward to grab Giselle's arm. When Giselle saw a hand approaching her, she took two steps back to dodge it with a cold gaze.When the others saw what happened, they sneaked a peak at Finley's reaction. When they noticed she was slightly upset, they immediately attacked Giselle verbally."This isn't a place for people like you. Get out of here before our dear Ms. Stone deals with you herself!""She's probably here to seduce Mr. Fordham as well. Why doesn't she look herself in the mirror first?""Where are the guards? Let me call for the
No one dared to look into Chester's eyes, and even Finley was shocked. She had never seen him so angry before in her life. Chester had always been extremely calm, and she never thought he would get so mad for a woman.It felt like something had stabbed Finley in the heart, and it hurt her so much that she was feeling dizzy.Chester walked past her and didn't even spare her a glance. He only stopped walking when he reached Giselle's side. Then, he looked down at her and said, "I'm sorry. I should've come down and picked you up myself."Upon hearing that, everyone except Lenny and Giselle looked shocked. They were even starting to wonder if their eyes and ears were playing tricks on them. After all, the aloof Chester was actually apologizing to a woman and came all the way down to bring her upstairs.At that point, there was no way Giselle and Chester could be platonic friends!The lackeys knew they were doomed, but they couldn't even cry about it. If they had known Giselle was some
Everything Finley said made sense, and her lackeys agreed with every single word she uttered. However, Chester didn't care at all. He stood in front of Giselle and coldly looked at Finley. It was obvious that he was standing on Giselle's side.When Finley noticed that, she felt more and more suffocated."Why should I do that for you? Are we even that close?" He sounded extremely cold when he spoke in his deep voice. The color drained from Finley's face altogether. Since they weren't that close, she meant nothing to him at all. So, he didn't hold back as he humiliated her.Finley had never been humiliated so badly before. Everyone at the laboratory knew how much she liked Chester, and her family had a close relationship with his. Because of that, no one would've expected Chester to say that they weren't close at all.Chester wasn't planning on protecting Finley's dignity, so he continued, "Besides, Ms. Giselle here isn't just a random person. She's my woman. Do you have any proble
Suddenly, a shadow fell over Giselle, and she looked up. "Mr. Fordham."The way he stood over her made her feel a little pressured. She felt even more embarrassed when she thought about the inappropriate scenes in her mind. As if he had noticed this, Chester crouched in front of her, his head at the same level as her neck."Ms. Stone, can you help me with something?"His deep dark eyes were like vortexes that could suck her in. Giselle nervously clenched her fists, but she didn't outwardly show how she felt at all.Her long eyelashes were like feathers, covering half of her beautiful eyes. Chester could see his own reflection in her eyes."With what?" she asked."There's a thread caught under this button. Can you help me untangle it?"He was wearing a thin shirt under his jacket. The button on his collar was undone, and his fair skin could be seen. As he said, there was a white thread looped under the button. Since the button was located right under his neck, it was difficult fo
Giselle was rendered speechless, and her face became bright red. She didn't stand up immediately. Instead, she whispered while in Chester's embrace, "Mr. Fordham, please don't move. My legs are numb, and I need to rest for a while."She hated how the human body worked as it embarrassed her greatly. She figured Chester would disinfect his whole body when he returned home later based on how germaphobic he was.After five minutes, Giselle hurriedly stood up with her head lowered, trying to hide how much she was blushing. Meanwhile, Chester was in a great mood at that moment. He tidied his messy hair and said, "Let's forget it if we can't untangle it. It doesn't matter."After that, they never mentioned what happened again. Giselle let out a long breath of relief, and she only managed to calm down when they left the laboratory.…Meanwhile, Finley had just returned to the Stone residence. She was feeling both infuriated and aggrieved at the same time. Only Moira Hart, Harry and Finl
Anyone could see through Finley's intentions. Ever since her confession was rejected, she was aware that the Stones opposed her wish to be with Chester.In fact, every member of the family would talk to her in private, trying to change her mind. They hoped she would like someone else instead of waiting for Chester, someone who would never come to like her. Even now, they were still adamant about it.Moira didn't answer Finley's question right away. Instead, she tried to change the subject. Unexpectedly, Finley was stubborn and wanted to get her answers.Feeling helpless, Moira said, "Finley, we can't force a relationship. Forgive me for being blunt, but Chester doesn't like you at all."Chester was aloof, and he wasn't even close with his family, let alone someone else. A healthy relationship should work both ways. So, even if Finley managed to force him to be with her, she still wouldn't be happy.As a mother, Moira didn't want to see Finley digging a grave for herself. Since the
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
