Chapter 331

Penulis: DuckDuckJoe
It was destined to be one hell of an evening.

Lyla was rushed to the emergency room. When she was hurled onto the stretcher, her exposed skin was visibly filled with rashes.

It looked like… an allergic reaction. But she did not even eat any tomatoes.

People began questioning things in silence.

The hospital was less crowded at night, thus it was very quiet. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Moira waited anxiously outside the emergency room, pacing back and forth.

Meanwhile, Jackie calmly informed the rest of his family. After everything was done, he went over to comfort Moira.

"Lyla will be fine."

Holly chimed in and said, "Lyla has survived so much hardships. She will definitely be fine this time as well."

Although Holly looked calm on the surface, she felt extremely uneasy on the inside.

If something really happened to Lyla, then everything she had planned would go down the drain.

She was too careless tonight. She should have kept a close eye on what Lyla

    Why didn't they become professional actors when they had such great acting skills? They could easily be the next one to receive an annual salary of a million dollars.Why waste the effort and struggle with playing mind games here? It had to be tiring.Giselle stared at Holly with a sardonic gaze, making her squirm in her seat. Fortunately for her, the emergency room lamp went out, followed by the doors opening. A doctor in a white coat walked out.Jackie went up to him and asked, "How's my sister, doctor?""It's fortunate that she got here in time. As family members, you should always keep in mind the patient's allergies. Her body's already weak. She can't withstand any distress."The truth had been revealed. Lyla was allergic to prawns.Soon, she was sent to the VIP ward for observation and rest. The Stone family had been busy the entire evening, so they collectively became exhausted both physically and mentally.Giselle used this moment to excuse herself.Moira had Jackie sen

    How could she not panic? Vivian had just badmouthed Giselle in front of Jonathan.Who could have known that she would bump into the protagonist immediately after?Vivian tried to pretend that she did not see her. She quickened her steps, wanting to slip out of the hospital, but Giselle happened to look up and see her.Their eyes instantly met.At that moment in time, it felt as if everything in the world had become quiet.Vivian tightened her grip on her bag strap. Suddenly, she flew into a rage out of humiliation, and her cheeks turned red, like a ripe apple.She glared fiercely at Giselle.Giselle, however, only felt perplexed.Sure enough, if she were to compare Vivian with Lindsay, the latter was more likeable.Giselle looked away in a bored manner, with no intention of talking to her.But Vivian felt offended instead.Following the twisted logic of "I can ignore your existence but you aren't allowed to do the same to me", she stomped over to Giselle angrily.As soon as

    Based on Vivian's understanding of Jonathan, she knew he would definitely hunt that bastard down to fight him tooth and nail.But in this case, that "bastard" was none other than their uncle!If rumors were to spread about a nephew beating his uncle up, they would definitely become the joke of the town!Vivian's eyes were bloodshot. Her mind felt like a tangled mess, and she could not seem to straighten her thoughts out.Chester held Giselle's hand. Then, they walked past Vivian.Before leaving, he coldly said to her, "Wait here. I'll have someone come pick you up."If Vivian wasn't Jean's daughter, Chester would not even bother looking out for her.Vivian could only watch helplessly as the two left.Of all times, Jonathan chose this moment to send her a message."Vivi, you said that Gigi cheated. Is Uncle Chester the guy she cheated on me with?"The fact that he could ask this question meant that he had already asked around.What's more, everyone already knew about Chester

    The temperature kept rising within that confined space.Giselle stared back at Chester with her big, doe eyes. They sparkled in the night, and her red lips were slightly parted, looking every bit an mesmerizing enchantress.Chester, who was already deeply in love with Giselle, found himself unable to resist it.His long lashes drooped, casting shadows over his eyes.The hand by his side curled up in restraint. His dark pupils were bottomless as he looked at her, much like the deep sea.Chester's voice was hoarse as he forced out, "What question?""How are you so confident that I am the Stone family's child?"He was even more sure of it than she was.The paternity test report had also stated that she had no blood relation to the Stone family. But Chester remained adamant that she was.Chester responded eloquently, "I trust my intuition."Their eyes locked mid-air. Hidden tensions simmered.A brief moment later, Giselle flashed a faint smile and arched a brow as she asked, "Bu

    Even Hector was startled by the absurdity of his own thoughts. He did not dare to venture further.Chester texted back, "Though you won't, I will."The five words almost made Hector's jaw drop to the floor. Did Chester just say he would be the Stones' matrilocal son-in-law?Hector was wondering if he had read the text wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and found that the text remained unchanged.He immediately replied, "Chet, are you serious?"Unfortunately, Chester had already gone offline and did not reply to his last text message.…The next day, Giselle met up with several more candidates who came in for the job interview.During the last round of interviews, she had her eye on a 22-year-old candidate who was a young woman with a rounded face. She wore rectangular-framed glasses with her dark hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was a person of few words but did things quickly and efficiently. Her sparkling eyes looked full of vigor as well.These were the qualities Giselle

    Jonathan's towering figure emerged in the doorway.Instead of his usual formal suit, he was dressed in a hoodie and cropped pants.To put it simply, he looked like a mannequin. His handsome face was as cold as ice, making him look unapproachable. As his eyes swept across the room, he suddenly paused when his gaze fell upon Giselle.The hand by his side instinctively clenched. It seemed like he did not expect to find Giselle here.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was reminded of the ignored text and what Vivian had told him.He pursed his lips for a moment, forcing the words back down. "Now that we have everyone's guardians here, let's talk about what happened earlier today."Greg Kendrick, the homeroom teacher, pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat before continuing, "I understand how kids your age are going through a phase where you yearn for the opposite gender, but this is the time to be focusing on your studies. "The college entrance examinations

    The moment Giselle heard Jonathan call out her name in full, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Had he recovered his memories?Giselle scoffed. "Am I wrong? Mr. Kendrick is asking Harry to pretend that he has feelings for Vivian and to wait until the exams are over to talk about it. Isn't he asking the kid to lie?"Harry has made it crystal clear that he has no feelings for Vivian. A clear rejection is the best solution. You're afraid that Vivian's state of mind might be affected, but what about Harry's?"Every word was carefully chosen.Even though Greg did not explicitly say it, Giselle understood his underlying intention without misconstruing anything.Harry clapped his hands as sparkles danced around his eyes. "You got it! I don't like Vivian. I don't like her now and I certainly won't like her in the future!"Vivan was not his type to begin with. What's more, after learning about the things she had done to Giselle, the chances of him liking Vivian were even slimmer

    "Giselle, I need to ask you something."The two looked at each other. One had an indifferent expression while the other looked like they could barely tolerate this request.Giselle tried to free herself but her wrist remained firmly locked in his grip. The heat between them instinctively triggered a visceral sense of disgust in her.Her stomach churned violently, and her expression went dark. "Let go."Jonathan kept his stare on her with eyes that were deep and enigmatic. "If I don't—" Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly gasped in pain.Giselle did not care if she hurt him. She had swiftly raised her knee and went for his groin. Even though Jonathan reacted in time, she was too fast for him to avoid the blow entirely.The anger in his eyes surged. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Giselle Stone!"This "new" Giselle felt extremely foreign to Jonathan.The Giselle he remembered was someone gentle and caring. There was never a time she would be this violent.

    Charlotte still wasn't about to give up. However, Chester's patience had already run out. He suddenly stood up and strode toward her.Charlotte instinctively swallowed hard and stepped back. Her back hit the cold door, and her palms were slick with nervous sweat.She held her breath. "M-Mr. Fordham..."Chester extended his hand, voice sharp and commanding as he said, "Hand it over."Panic instantly surfaced on Charlotte's face. Her eyes darted around as she didn't dare meet his eyes.She tried to play dumb. "W-What do you mean?"Chester said flatly, "If you still want to survive in this city, I suggest you cooperate."The moment he finished speaking, that suffocating silence returned, cold and heavy.Charlotte's back was soaked in cold sweat. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.Chester caught every subtle expression on her face.Two minutes passed.Unfazed, Chester pulled out his phone and started dialing for someone."I-I'm sorry, Mr. Fordham!" Charlotte panicked and blur

    "M-Mr. Fordham." Charlotte walked into Chester's office under immense pressure, careful with every step she took.Faced with the stunningly handsome man before her, there was not a single trace of desire in her eyes. Compared to Jonathan, Chester was far more terrifying.Yet, deep down, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Giselle.Why did Giselle get to enjoy such special treatment? She was just a fake heiress who had taken someone else's place!Charlotte often found her thoughts spiraling every night.Did Giselle pull a trick of some sort to steal her rightful place? Otherwise, how could she have screwed up so badly?Chester's cold gaze swept past her like she was barely worth looking at. It was as if even one glance in her direction would disgust him.Chester asked, "Do I know you?" His deep voice was full of impatience.Charlotte, trembling with fear, clenched her palms and forced a smile that looked worse than if she'd been crying."Mr. Fordham, I know it was you who tol

    Polygamy wasn't allowed at all in Caldora."I know. We're not getting legally married, so it's not against the law.""Please, don't make things harder for Madam. Who could even give you advice on something like this?""Today's stream has really been an eye-opener.""If you want to be the first on the wedding night, couldn't you have discussed it with the other woman? Worst case, draw lots! If you're still unhappy, fight it out.""Where's the wedding tomorrow? I wanna watch the drama in person.""This stream's been recorded! If you just joined, check my page. Everyone has got to see this madness."Giselle's viewers were something else.Not only had they recorded the live stream in real time, but they also managed to piece together enough clues to figure out which hotel was booked for tomorrow's wedding.Giselle watched the flood of comments for a while.After a moment, she said, "Since you're already fine with two women sharing one husband, what difference does it make who's f

    "Hi, Madam. I'm really troubled by something right now. My ex-husband is getting married tomorrow. I'm going to marry him alongside another woman. How do I ensure he chooses to spend the wedding night with me first?"The confused female voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.Everyone, including Giselle, was left dumbfounded. The live stream chat fell into dead silence.Moments later, it exploded with a flurry of activity."Wait, your ex-husband's getting married? You're marrying him alongside another woman? And you want to be the first to consummate the marriage?""Has the world gone completely mad? The only thing I haven't seen at this point is a ghost.""If this isn't scripted...

    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.

    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
