The sun was setting, soaking the clouds in burgundy hues, turning the world into a beautiful painting.The number of viewers in the top right corner of Giselle's screen was skyrocketing.The chat box was as active as ever."Madam, can you tell us about your dating history today? I'm curious how you and Mr. Fordham met. Was he the one who pursued you, or was it the other way round?""I believe the user above is the kind of person who does not do their research. Mr. Fordham already said that he's the one who pursued Madam first.""You're now my screensaver, Madam. I've also printed a photo of you and Mr. Fordham and placed it in front of my book so that I have a face for the characters.""Madam, do you feel some kind of vicarious thrill watching someone bare their heart—or their liver? Mr. Fordham looks like the type to go all out in a relationship, so there's no way he would do something so stupid, right?""Are you referring to a book? Doesn't that mean he should get put into pri
At Giselle's door was none other than Perry, the oldest son of the elite Lawson family, Jean's ex-husband, and the father to Vivian and Jonathan.His appearance came as a great surprise to Giselle.The two stared at each other. Giselle did not look like she was going to let him into the house as she just stood at the door, posture loose and all. She was the one to break the silence. "Mr. Lawson. How can I help you?"Giselle addressing him in this manner was a means to draw a line between them. Perry was clad in a casual short-sleeved top paired with a pair of wide-legged pants. His facial features were mature and refined. As he was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he looked like an intellectual.Giselle could not help but feel a tad bit confused. Back when she was in high school, Jonathan had often brought her home, and they would often hang out at the Lawson residence.At the time, Perry was home more often than not, and they had interacted with each other for a shor
Every trace of flirtatious tension in the air had completely dissolved.Charlotte's eyes snapped open, and an impending sense of doom shrouded her.A sneer crept onto Jonathan's face. His decadent demeanor made him look even more dangerous at this very moment. With a flat voice, he stared at her and uttered each word slowly and clearly, "You are not Gigi."Giselle would never behave in such a revolting manner.Charlotte felt like she was falling down a chasm made of ice. It made her blood run cold. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground in a heap.Her fingers would not stop trembling, and she could not produce a single coherent sentence.Jonathan's eyes were cold as he shot Charlotte a deadpan stare. "You can't possibly think I would be so drunk that I wouldn't be able to tell who's who?" Jonathan said with a cold voice as he bent over and grabbed Charlotte's jaw tightly.He exerted so much force that it felt like he was about to crush her jaw in his grip.Charlot
Charlotte stood outside the door, visibly nervous. A closer look at her hands would reveal how much she was trembling just from ringing the doorbell.The thought of meeting Jonathan soon got her feeling a mixture of anticipation laced with a hint of fear. The things Jonathan did to her last time got her hospitalized for a long time. The way he looked at the time remained etched in her memories. He had really wanted to kill her!Fortunately, due to his partial memory loss, he had forgotten about all of her wrongdoings.Moreover, she had Jonathan's uncle helping to kick things up a notch this time.This was far better than when she had to fight on her own in the past.Even her coming abroad was made possible due to Chester's arrangement.He only had one request for her, and that was to have Charlotte win Jonathan over entirely so that she could make him forget Giselle altogether.This way, Jonathan would be dead to Giselle for good!Just when Charlotte was letting her imaginati
The comments showing their support for Giselle and Chester's relationship were like sharp blades cutting into Jonathan's flesh.The pain was so unbearable that it made him feel asphyxiated.Suddenly, a call came in, blocking the photo on his screen.As he stared at Jean's name, the little sanity he had almost abandoned started creeping back in.The apartment was filled with the smell of alcohol. Empty bottles were scattered all over the floor of the living room. The sheer amount of cigarette butts in the ashtray was staggering.The phone rang until the very end, but Jonathan never picked it up.Still, Jean was relentless. The phone rang again for the second and third time.It was not until the seventh attempt that Jonathan seemed to have finally snapped out of it.Jonathan pressed the answer button in a sluggish manner.Jean's indifferent voice instantly came through the phone. "What have you been doing, Jonathan? I called so many times. Why didn't you answer the phone?"When
An eerie silence instantly filled the scene.Everyone just stood there staring blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared. "Oh my God! It's an actual billionaire right before our eyes!"That one scream snapped everyone out of their dazed minds. Instantly, the comments section in the main channel exploded. "Is this the fabled brother-in-law in all its 4K glory? As expected, her taste is unrivaled!" "Ah! How could anyone be this good-looking? He literally walked out of a novel! They could have easily made fortunes with their pretty privilege, but they chose to prove themselves by grinding. How's a bum like me supposed to cope with this?""The kid's brother-in-law looks like one of those guys who appear harmless on the outside but have a dark side to them. Ladies, you guys know what I'm trying to say? He's literally just standing there, but the sense of security is through the roof!""If my boyfriend looks like this, I'd totally smack myself if we ever end up fighting.""Does
