The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 271
Giselle's words felt like a bolt of lightning, striking Julia and splitting her shell instantly. Julia was stunned, and she instinctively asked, "How did you know?"Giselle smiled as her hunch had been proven correct."Before I came to Anterica, I did a quick tarot reading for you and Hector, and that was what I had gotten from the cards."Giselle had been interested in tarot readings ever since she was in high school. As such, she taught herself how to read the cards by going through online forums. Then, when she started working as a relationship counselor, her tarot reading skills proved invaluable, with her readings being accurate 99% of the time.Julia clenched her fists tightly, and her frown loosened up after a while. Three minutes later, she began to tell Giselle the truth. "I only found out about the child after I arrived in Anterica."A little before she left, Hector had gotten drunk, and his friend called her over to take him with her. Since she was nearby that day and

"It's true that I liked him once. However, when I saw him again, my heart didn't race the way it did back then." Julia felt closure after saying that. Then, she added with a smile, "Maybe I just couldn't let go of the feelings I had when I was younger."Giselle agreed with what she had said. "Your conclusion is correct."It would always bother Julia when she couldn't have what she wanted. However, by the time the man she liked finally stood in front of her, her heart had already changed long ago.Giselle stopped talking about it to respect Julia's decision. After ten more minutes had passed, Harry arrived at the cafe in a hurry. Snow dusted his hair as he gasped for breath, and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of snow."Giselle!" He shouted so loudly that he managed to attract everyone's attention. After that, he sat next to Giselle with his eyes brightly lit up.It was Julia's first time seeing Harry, and she was stunned to see how energetic he was.Meanwhile, Giselle fe

A man in a black coat got out of the backseat, looking tall and domineering as he stood there. Harry ran to him first—as if he was a maniac—and yelled passionately, "Jackie!"Harry and Jackie looked equally tall, and their facial features were mostly similar. However, their personalities were completely different. Harry looked like a child when he stood in front of Jackie.Jackie responded to Harry's greetings with a hum before looking at Giselle, who was approaching him as well. He was stunned momentarily when he saw her familiar face."Hello, Mr. Stone," Giselle greeted him first, and he finally returned to his senses. He suppressed the emotions behind his deep, dark eyes and said, "Thank you for taking care of Harry, Ms. Stone.""Harry's a great kid, and he's been helping me. So, it's no problem at all."After they were done exchanging greetings, Jackie opened the car door like a gentleman. "After you, Ms. Stone."The heater inside the car felt great compared to the winter won

Holly Sharp stood up first, and she enthusiastically called for Jackie. Just as she was about to talk to Harry, she saw Giselle enter the room, and the smile on Holly's face faded immediately.Jackie nodded at her in greeting. Before he could even pull out a chair, Harry rushed forward to grab a seat for Giselle. "Here, Giselle! Have a seat!"Harry's passion was contagious, and the smile on Holly's face returned after she looked at him for a while. Meanwhile, Jackie sat next to her, and the room fell quiet for a moment.Holly took the initiative to say hello to Harry first. "Hi, I'm Holly Sharp, and I'm your brother's best friend. I've heard a lot about you."He responded with great enthusiasm. "Oh, you don't have to be so formal around me, Holly! Just call me Harry!"Next, Holly introduced Lyla to Harry. "This is Lyla, my adopted sister. She's all I have left."Upon saying that, a look of sadness flickered across Holly's face. Lyla just pursed her lips and silently grabbed Holly
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 275
Upon hearing Jackie's words, the gears in Harry's silent mind suddenly turned. He finally understood why Lyla looked familiar. After all, her eyes and nose looked exactly like the Stone family's."But that doesn't prove anything." Harry stubbornly continued, "Giselle looks like us as well, so why aren't you suspecting it's her instead?"Compared to Lyla, who he didn't know that well, Harry would much prefer that Giselle be his biological sister instead.When Giselle heard what he said, she was left speechless, thinking he was too bold to say something like that. When she noticed that Jackie was gazing at her, she looked back at him confidently.Jackie only looked away after a while, thinking that Harry was right. Even though Lyla looked similar to them, it couldn't prove anything. That said, he had heard something about her from Holly before, and he couldn't help feeling optimistic about it.He was waiting for the right opportunity to do a DNA test. Then, they could finally find o

"Let's go, Giselle! It's about to start soon," said Harry.The ticket gate was to their right, and Giselle and Harry were standing last in line. They were surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Harry kept telling her everything he knew about the race teams, and he became increasingly excited.Meanwhile, Giselle silently listened to him and occasionally responded to his words. When he noticed that, he thought he had found a best friend with the same hobby.After they got past the gate, they entered a dark hallway. There were pictures of past champions hung on both sides of the wall. As they made their way inside, they heard people squealing next to them, and Giselle casually looked to the side. Then, her gaze darkened.Among all the pictures around them, there was one in particular that attracted Giselle's attention. There was an image of a young lady with short hair, carrying a helmet in her arms. There was also a name under the picture—Lyla Sharp.However, the person in the picture di

The hand that grabbed Giselle's wrist was cold and sweaty. Before she could turn around with a frown, a deep voice said, "Ms. Stone, please help me. I'll give you five million dollars."Hearing that there was five million dollars on the line, she raised her eyebrows in disbelief. After thinking about it for a while, she finally recognized who the familiar voice belonged to. It was Chris Barton, Larry's half-brother.Chris and Larry seldom spoke to each other. It had been a long time since they even met each other. So, when Chris suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Giselle was a little surprised. That said, he came with a five-million-dollar offer, and she didn't see why she couldn't accept it."Sure, but please let go of me first and keep a safe distance from me."Since they were both single, they shouldn't be that close to each other. Otherwise, someone might snap a picture of them and make a huge deal out of it.Chris didn't let go of her. In fact, he stood closer. When his shadow

"Put on your seatbelt, Mr. Barton," said Giselle.Chris had looked into her past before, and she didn't seem to have any experience in racing. In fact, he had never even seen her drive a car before. He only put his life in her hands because he had no other choice this time.Before he could start praying for everything to go well, the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The people following them tried to catch their breaths as they watched Giselle and Chris leave."What should we do now? Are we going after them?""Of course! Why wouldn't we? Hurry up and bring the car around! This is 100 million we're talking about here! Once we're done with this job, we won't have to worry about money ever again! The terms haven't changed. Whoever catches Chris Barton first shall get the most money!"…Chris held the handle on the car tightly in fear. He looked cold and aloof, but his heart was racing nonstop. Since Giselle wasn't familiar with the area and didn't have any navigat

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
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
