Chapter 288

Author: DuckDuckJoe
The Lawsons had sent someone to await Giselle and Chester's arrival.

Chester opened the car door for Giselle like a gentleman. "Here, Gigi. I'll tell you what's currently happening after we get in the car."

It felt warm inside the vehicle, and their cold hands were slowly warming up. Then, Chester slowly announced, "Jean wants to get divorced from Perry."

Perry was Jonathan and Vivian's father, making him Chester's brother-in-law. Giselle wasn't that surprised to hear the news. Ever since Jean started asking her for relationship advice, Giselle figured something had gone wrong in their marriage.

Giselle presumed there was only one reason for Jean to want a divorce—Perry had cheated on her.

Perry and Jean had been in a long-distance relationship for many years, and they had their own careers to focus on. So, they could only see each other two times per year at most. Since they rarely ever spoke to each other over the phone, their marriage would've broken down sooner or later.

    Before anyone saw the woman, they could already hear her voice."Oh, Perry!" The clear voice was getting closer. Then, a petite woman appeared at the entrance. Her soft black hair cascaded down her back, and her facial features looked simple. No matter how long everyone looked at her, she didn't look impressive at all.With that thought in mind, they couldn't believe that the woman was Perry's mistress. They wondered if there was something wrong with his judgment. After all, that woman couldn't even begin to compare to Jean. One of them was an ordinary woman, while the other was from a wealthy family.They couldn't understand why Perry would lower his standards for her."Why are you here, Angie? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"Although it sounded like Perry was lecturing the woman, he was actually looking at her with a loving gaze. Despite being 50 years old, his body was well-built like a man in his 30s because he often worked out.His skin was also healthily tanned. So, wh

    Jean took a deep breath and walked up to Chester before shaking her head."Let me deal with this myself," she said calmly. She couldn't hide how tired she looked. Jean had less than four hours of sleep in the past three days. When she did sleep, she would always jolt awake due to paranoia. At that moment, she was feeling tense and enduring the pain inside her.When Jean stood in front of Perry, he was holding Angela in his arms. Jean's smile turned colder when she saw that, and she called his name. "Perry."Before he could say anything, Angela poked her head out and timidly greeted Jean. However, Jean coldly glanced at her. "Did I call you?"Jean wasn't holding back anymore, and Angela's face turned pale immediately. However, Angela didn't shed any tears at all. Instead, she felt aggrieved and pouted.Perry frowned at that. "Jeannie, I was the one who betrayed you. If you're upset, vent your frustrations on me and leave Angie out of it." After saying that, he gently said to Ange

    Jean was from the Fordham family. She was the epitome of wealth and prestige. Money? She was never short of that.Angela's words were an insult. Which young lady of a wealthy family ever lacked money?Over the years, Jean had earned far more on her own than Perry ever had, even without relying on her family's wealth.Both Perry and Angela stared at her in disbelief. For a moment, Jean's aching heart calmed. The burning pain in her palm heightened her focus, and her thoughts had never been clearer.Even Perry's betrayal didn't feel so unbearable anymore. Jean had her pride.Before Perry could speak, Jean said coldly, "Perry, I'll have the divorce papers drafted. Just remember, you're the one who betrayed our marriage."Jean looked exhausted, but her gaze was calm and resolute. No matter how much she loved Perry or how hard it was to let go, she would never accept a cheater. Perry simply disgusted her.Angela clutched her face and huffed. She wanted to argue but was suddenly tackl

    Giselle's gaze was fixed on Perry. Suddenly, she tugged at Chester's sleeve, signaling him to lean down. "Don't you think Perry is acting strange?"Chester didn't observe Perry as closely as Giselle did. He then scanned Perry and narrowed his eyes. "He does seem a bit off."Perry kept staring adoringly at Angela and didn't get angry no matter what she said. Did he love Angela that deeply? Giselle didn't believe it.She bid farewell to Jean before dragging Chester away. As they passed Angela, Giselle suddenly stopped in her tracks.Angela shivered instinctively.Giselle whispered, "Does Perry really love you that much?"With that, Giselle walked away, leaving Angela with a growing sense of fear.The cold wind outside howled as Chester opened the car door for Giselle. Looking at the scenery outside, Chester made a call.He and Giselle were thinking the same thing. Perry's behavior was far from normal. It was as if he was under some kind of spell."Investigate someone named Angel

    The day before the charity gala, Chester brought Giselle to buy a dress.Since Chester made a reservation at the boutique, they were escorted in as soon as they arrived."Mr. and Mrs. Fordham, this is the masterpiece of our store's top designer. It just arrived from abroad today." The salesperson introduced the gown while directing her assistant to bring it out.The dress was black, featuring an off-the-shoulder design that exuded pure elegance. With minimal decorations, it was simple yet beautiful.Giselle immediately liked it."Would you like to try it on?" Chester asked. He wasn't wearing glasses today, and his eyes shone with joy. It seemed he was pleased by the salesperson addressing Giselle as "Mrs. Fordham".Yesterday, Chester had asked Giselle to make things official between them, but he hadn't waited for her answer. Before she could speak, he had changed the subject, perhaps out of fear of rejection.He promised her a surprise instead. December had arrived, and the new

    Giselle called for the salesperson outside.The curtains were soon pulled open. With her back to the opening, Giselle's hair cascaded over her shoulder."The zipper seems stuck. Could you please help me?" Giselle asked without turning back, one hand bracing against the railing in front of her.The person behind her stepped closer.Chester gently touched the zipper of her gown. His fingers brushed against Giselle's smooth back, sending shivers down her spine.Realizing something was amiss, she turned around, but a hand rested on her shoulder. Then came a husky voice. "Don't move, Gigi." Giselle's mind went blank. She called for the salesperson, so why did Chester come in instead?She flushed in embarrassment. Her knuckles turned white from how tightly she was gripping the railing. She tried to steady her racing heart and lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes.Chester was standing very close. The overhead light cast their shadows on the wall, the two silhouettes int

    Giselle's heart skipped a beat as Chester's hand moved. She stood still and stared at him intently.Chester's hand extended past her, gently brushing aside the stray strands of hair from her face and tucking them behind her ear. His fingertips grazed her cheek, leaving a tingling sensation on her skin.Giselle's lashes fluttered at the touch. The intimate interaction filled Finley with jealousy, her emotions mirroring Charlotte's bitterness. However, Finley couldn't intervene or reprimand him. Her noble upbringing prevented her from acting rashly or revealing her true feelings. To onlookers, Chester and Giselle appeared like any couple who were madly in love. Giselle feigned composure, but the salespeople around them couldn't contain their excitement. One of them giggled with admiration. "Mrs. Fordham, Mr. Fordham treats you so well!" "I'm not—" Giselle was about to deny her relationship with Chester but the latter interrupted her by handing over a card. "We'll take th

    One of the gala's requirements was a contribution of over a million dollars to a charitable organization. Giselle might not meet the requirement, but Chester's wealth and influence could easily make up for it. Finley scoffed at the thought. She regained her composure and urged Charlotte to pick a gown. Then, she stepped aside to call Sebastian. …After leaving the boutique, Chester took Giselle to shop for jewelry. Whenever Giselle stared at an item for even a second longer, Chester would immediately purchase it and have it delivered to her home. Giselle sighed. "I really don't need all this, Mr. Fordham…" Yet Chester continued. He wasn't fazed by the amount of money he was spending, especially with the store staff showering him with compliments. "Sir, you treat your wife so well!" "Sir, this matching ring set is perfect for you two. It symbolizes eternal love and unity!" "Sir, take a look at this piece. It's our designer's masterpiece! I'm sure it would look pe

    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?"

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.

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.

    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.
