Chapter 382

Author: DuckDuckJoe
Giselle stood behind Jenna. She stayed silent as she waited for Jenna to make the first move.

After about two minutes, Jenna finally seemed to have recomposed herself. She turned around and asked hesitantly, "Ms. Stone, is Isabelle…"

"You don't have to worry about that. My friend's arriving soon. I'll have her take Isabelle out to play so you can have the space all to yourself."

Giselle already had everything planned. Even the most minor details had been taken care of, leaving no room for any mistakes.

Speak of the devil, and they shall appear. Emma made a fashionably late entrance in her high heels.

Her outfit consisted of a tailored business suit and a pencil skirt.

Jenna recognized her at a glance. Emma was the top divorce lawyer in Seaworth City, after all.

Jenna had previously encountered videos of Emma on the internet. She had even used an alternative account to consult Emma on divorce matters.

Jenna was surprised to find that she and Giselle were good friends. Perhaps t

    With her husband berating her, Jenna felt even more dejected.She staggered, and Giselle went to hold her up from behind. Giselle snickered and said, "Mr. Jenkins, you brought your daughter along to celebrate the birthday of your mistress. Aren't you embarrassing yourself as well?""And who the hell are you?" Matthew scowled at Giselle.Giselle responded, "Take a guess."With Giselle here to defend Jenna, it had become a doubles match.Seeing how Matthew was defending her, Crystal took the chance to grab a few napkins and scrambled to wipe the stains on her chest.The rims of her eyes reddened as she plastered on a helpless look.Seeing this made Jenna nauseous. She furrowed her brow and said, "No amount of wiping is going to get rid of that skanky stench off you!"With such foul words coming out of Jenna's mouth, everyone who knew her had their jaws on the ground. The Jenna they knew was someone demure and refined.Even Matthew, her husband, looked at her in disbelief.After

    Giselle pressed, "How about Holly and Lyla?"Harry had a sudden realization. "That reminds me of something. Lyla's constantly unwell, right? So my mom contacted a team of medical professionals overseas. They're going abroad soon." Giselle kept a straight face.She did not press any further. Chester already had someone look into why Holly was at the restaurant the other day. If there were any updates, Chester would definitely let Giselle know at the soonest.Later in the afternoon, Giselle went to pick Jenna up for their meeting.Jenna took her advice and started paying more attention to her outfits and makeup.Even though her makeup was not heavy, it was neat and refined.As she stood in one corner with a bag on her shoulder, she looked every bit the successful career woman."Ms. Schuler," Giselle called with her window rolled down.Seeing Giselle's car pull up, Jenna got into the passenger seat.Being with Giselle allowed her a moment of peace from the overwhelming feelin

    "Harry, I'm warning you—delete that photo. I'll count to three!" Jonathan ground out the threat through clenched teeth.His expensive suit was a wrinkled mess, and after spending the night outside, the dark circles under his eyes made him look worn and haggard—nothing like his usual polished, elite self.Harry, clutching his phone, grinned like the little devil he was. "No way! I was just about to send it to the group chat too!"He was doing it on purpose, obviously.Jonathan dared to treat Giselle so badly before. He was nothing but a heartless jerk and deserved to be shot by a thousand arrows.Harry was just about to return to the Stone residence to grab his basketball. The moment he opened the door to his apartment unit, he saw Jonathan sitting there like a homeless man—eyes closed, leaning against the wall.Clearly, Jonathan was lying in wait for Giselle.But Harry wasn't the least bit afraid of Jonathan in his furious state. He even patted his own cheek provocatively and sa

    Chester didn't spell it out for her. But Giselle was smart, so she'd get the message.She didn't act coy but did hesitate a little before saying, "Mr. Fordham, if you stay at my place tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to make you sleep on the couch."Chester was full of questions and raised an eyebrow. "Who's at your place?""Your cousin, Lindsay," she replied.Before he could ask more, the elevator dinged softly. As they stepped out, Chester finally noticed the white bandage wrapped around her wrist.His gaze darkened. "What happened?"Once they were inside, Giselle gave him a brief rundown of what had happened, explaining in passing why Jonathan had shown up in the middle of the night.She then went to the wardrobe and pulled out a comforter, aligning the couch cushions to make a makeshift bed. It wasn't exactly luxurious, but it would do for one night.It was certainly not as comfortable as an actual bed. But there weren't any other options at the moment.After tucking everythi

    It was Chester.He came to a stop at Giselle's side, standing there with an unmistakable air of possessiveness surrounding him. His gaze was sharp and hostile as he stared Jonathan down.The battle between uncle and nephew was set, one spark away from erupting.Jonathan's fists clenched tightly, his knuckles audibly cracking. His face was dark as night, and the way he looked at Chester was like a predator sizing up its prey.But Chester didn't so much as flinch. He stared right back, those pitch-black eyes of his unfathomably deep.Giselle was a little surprised. "Mr. F—Chester, you're only just getting back?"She was about to call him "Mr. Fordham", but catching Jonathan's stormy expression from the corner of her eye, she changed it just in time.And as expected, the second that intimate address left her lips, Jonathan's expression darkened even further."You two aren't even married," Jonathan snapped, practically grinding his teeth. "She's not my aunt. Stop with the nonsense.

    Jonathan's heart twisted sharply at Giselle's words, a pang of hurt surging in his chest.A flicker of pain passed through his eyes. Without saying anything, he pulled out his phone and transferred more money to Giselle."You've received one million dollars." A mechanical voice echoed from her phone speaker, jarring against the quiet of the night.Giselle raised an eyebrow. Her expression softened slightly, the hostility in her eyes easing just a bit. "Keep a better eye on your sister. She was lucky to run into me this time. Next time, she won't be so lucky."With that, she turned to leave."Wait!" Jonathan called out.She paused and looked back at him. "What now?"His eyes dropped to her wrist, still wrapped in gauze. Quietly, he said, "Let me take you to the hospital.""There's no need," she said coldly. "I'll just pretend I got bitten by a dog."On the surface, it was a jab at Vivian. But the implication was obvious—if Vivian was a dog, then her brother, Jonathan, was als

    "Sorry to bother you so late, Ms. Stone," the security guard said. "But we saw a man acting suspiciously outside your door on the surveillance footage."Giselle's drowsiness vanished instantly.She didn't wake Lindsay. Instead, she threw on a coat and headed straight for the security office.The night was dark and silent. By the time she arrived, ten minutes had already passed."I told you—I'm not a thief! I know the person who lives here! If you don't believe me, just look me up online. Do I look like someone who'd be stealing? I'm Jonathan Lawson! Mark my words—you might be out of a job tomorrow."The security office was brightly lit and filled with noise. The two guards on duty held their ground, unaffected by the man's name-dropping or threatening tone. They had no intention of letting him go until the homeowner confirmed his identity.This was the scene Giselle saw when she entered the security office.The two guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Ms. Stone, do you

    It was already dark outside by the time they left the station.Giselle hailed a ride. While waiting, she sent a message to Jenna to briefly explain what had happened and ask to meet the next day.Jenna simply replied, "Okay." Then, she quickly followed with another message that read, "I don't even have to ask. Belle went straight to that mistress, Crystal."Even through the cold glow of the screen, Giselle could feel the exhaustion and helplessness behind those words.She had thought that the moment after school today marked a turning point for Jenna and her daughter. It turned out that it had only been wishful thinking.Giselle replied, "One step at a time. Trust me."Just as she sent that message, a voice came blaring from Lindsay's phone speaker. "How long has school been out, and you're still not home? If you don't want to come back, then just stay out for good!"You're always running around outside. How did I end up with a daughter like you? This must be retribution!"Faci
