"It's Monday today. Don't these people need to go to school or work?" Giselle thought as she began to go through the comments below."Don't rich guys get to meet any type of woman they want? Mr. Fordham, aren't you being a little too thirsty right now?""You would even pine for your nephew's fiancee, huh? You're really something!""Bros before hoes, dude. I can't believe you went after your nephew's fiancee, Mr. Fordham. You're the player here.""You really don't believe in karma, do you?""Guys, take a look at this. He's worse than an animal. Would you dare to buy the products his company sells? This guy has no conscience, so who's to say the products they sell aren't substandard? I know I'm never buying from them again!""How lucky for her. She bagged both nephew and uncle at the same time, and now they're trapped in this love-triangle!""Everyone's saying it's the guy's fault, but ever since this issue broke out, I haven't seen Giselle speak out. It takes two to tango. She mu
Jonathan, who was far away in another country, slammed the phone down. The dark circles under his eyes made him look gaunt. The fury in his gaze made those around him steer clear of him.His lock screen and wallpaper were both photos of Giselle, which he had secretly taken back when they were in high school.Compared to the current version of Giselle, who was mature and prickly, the photo showed a more youthful and pleasant version of her. That pretty face of hers did not have any makeup on. Her long, dark hair was neatly tied up in a high ponytail. Her eyes were also filled with genuine joy as she looked at him. Her eyes were smiling, too, looking very much like twin crescent moons that shone brightly.For a moment, Jonathan was able to stop himself from frowning. The longing in his eyes was so intense that they were about to flow over the brim.He pressed his cold finger to the screen, as if hoping to physically touch her by reaching into the phone. Jonathan vowed to prov
With just one sentence, Chester had gathered all the negative attention on himself. Even if this public profession of love was just a result of Chester's distorted memory and misunderstanding, it was undeniable that Giselle felt deeply moved by him. The living room was illuminated by the warm glow of the lamp. Outside the window was a vast, open sea.Giselle sat on the hammock, staring out at this view for a long time. Suddenly, a notification popped up on the screen of her phone.It was from the live stream platform.When she clicked into her inbox, there was a persistent user at the top who had sent her more than 100 messages.Giselle recognized the display name and profile picture.It was the account that had gotten the first spot by sending her dozens of Grand Gifts.Giselle decided to browse through the person's homepage, figuring that someone that wealthy might have relationship problems she could help withThe homepage was empty, with not a single post to be seen.Gi
News on the internet spread like wildfire. There was not even a need to pay for added traffic. Giselle's and Chester's names were already popping up at the top of the trending search terms. Even old posts and pictures had all been dug up. "Wait. I think my brain has gone into overdrive. This post says that Madam used to be Mr. Fordham's nephew's fiancee?" "Huh? For real? Doesn't that make their relationship incestuous?""Hey, user above. Can you choose your words wisely? It's not like they're related, so why would it be incestuous? If you aren't good with words, you can choose to stay quiet. There's no need for you to come and make a fool of yourself.""I expect nothing less from the wealthy. They play on an entirely different level.""I can't believe the head of Fordham Group would pick up someone's leftover. He really isn't picky at all, huh?""Guys, hurry and check out my latest post! I have a picture of Mr. Fordham fighting his nephew!""What amazing luck Madam has! He
It all became clear to Giselle. That explained why Leroy dared to spout such nonsense. Could that little money inflate someone's ego so much? Giselle felt that he needed to broaden his horizons. Danny said, "I had his phone sent to the tech department. It's clean, but we managed to retrieve all the data he'd deleted."At this point, there was a hint of admiration in Danny's gaze at Giselle. "Ms. Stone, I've been wondering how you found out about this matter."He had replayed Giselle's live broadcast earlier.In the screenshots from the lady who did the joint stream with her, there was not a single piece of information about her whereabouts. If Giselle really was just making a false report, that would mean she got really lucky. But everything she'd reported in advance had hit the nail on the head. Giselle met Danny's eyes and let out a soft chuckle. "Detective Stone, have you forgotten what I do for a living?"She had a knack for reading people, and it was something she ex
"Gigi, I need to sort some things out now. I'll look for you once I'm done."After closing the door, Chester went to let Danny know that he was leaving. Then, he drove away in his own car.Inside the police car, Giselle and the woman sat in the back seat while Danny sat in the passenger seat.Facing the front, Danny reached over to the back, handing the woman a piece of tissue. "You can wipe your tears with this."Giselle helped the woman take the tissue paper from Danny.With them accompanying her, the terrified woman finally calmed herself down. Her face was covered in wounds, and there was a cut at the corner of her lips.The strangulation mark on her neck that was visible under the jacket was a shocking sight to behold. It was hard to imagine the extent of harm she would have endured if they had arrived even a second later.Giselle asked, "Does he hit you often?"The woman hesitantly shook her head. She nervously crumpled the tissue paper in her hands. With a hoarse voice,
