Chapter 40

Author: DuckDuckJoe
With the ten million dollars Giselle had managed to get from Jonathan, she now had a total of 16 million.

She had initially planned to split the ten million with Emma, but the latter refused to take a cent.

Emma's exact words were, "You keep it. Do I look like I need money? After divorcing Larry, we split the assets down the middle. If you'd known me sooner, Jonathan would've had it worse!"

Giselle reluctantly accepted the money. She decided to donate half of the ten million, under both her and Emma's names, to poverty-stricken areas in the mountains. After all, one should do some good deeds.

She cleaned the house while waiting for a response from the companies. She applied to nine different companies, but eight rejected her.

The reason was always the same. "Our boss had someone read the company's fortune. We can't sign the contract with anyone named Stone."

Giselle had expected this, but luckily, the first company she applied to passed her through smoothly. She could sign the co

    Giselle was at a loss for words.She did not even need to guess who Harry was referring to.Immediately, she asked, "You called Mr. Fordham over as well?"With a solemn expression, Harry raised his hand as if to take a vow. "Yes, I did ask Chet to come pick me up at school, but he turned me down at first. It was only when I told him that you'd be coming that he changed his mind and said he'd come."As the couple's guardian of love, Harry demonstrated how he was genuinely concerned about the two.It was clear that the only thing left to be done was an official confession, but neither of the two was making the move. It was as if they had both implicitly agreed on this.Their acting like this was giving their "supporters" a hard time.After today's exams, Harry planned to drop Chester a hint and guide him to be the more proactive one.It might just work out!Harry was busy basking in his own fantasies and had almost left his exam kit in the car.Had it not been for Giselle remin

    Harry was a copycat through and through.When he saw that Giselle was going home, he insisted on following.Out of concern, Moira exhorted Harry to remember bringing the things he needed for his exams the next day. "You're sitting for the exams tomorrow. Make sure you pack your admission ticket, ID, and other things you'll need. Don't forget anything and don't stay up late playing video games."Harry felt like his ears were going to fall off. He just kept nodding like a bobblehead doll. Only then did Moira let him go.The first thing Harry did when he reached home was call Chester.Chester only picked up the call at the very last second, right before it went to voicemail. His deep voice traveled through the receiver. "What's up?" "Chet, my exams are tomorrow. Come and pick me up after it ends!" Harry said.As he was already going to flaunt Giselle, his close sisterly friend, he needed to flaunt his future "brother-in-law" as well, so his peers could be jealous of him.Withou

    Among all the family members, Sam was the one who had spent the least amount of time with Lyla.He would be traveling for work most of the time, with endless filming and promotional events lined up back to back. He could only return home today because Harry was taking his all-important exams. He managed to squeeze two days out of his busy schedule to have a meal with his family. He would be getting on the midnight plane to Sorania the day after tomorrow.Eugene and Moira became silent after hearing Sam's question.They were not sure why they had not brought Lyla to change her last name either, considering how she had already returned for quite some time now.They had even repeatedly postponed the press conference regarding the recovery of their long-lost daughter.Eugene and Moira were stumped by Sam's question.After some time, Sam was starting to pick up on the strange atmosphere, though he could not seem to pinpoint the reason for it.Harry broke the silence and said, "Why

    It was summer, which meant the weather was very warm. As someone whose goal in life was to pamper his wife, Eugene was determined not to let Moira endure this needless suffering.Eugene believed that they would have already fulfilled their responsibility as long as they took care of Harry's basic needs.The speed at which Eugene and Moira did a 180-degree change had Harry flabbergasted. Feeling mistreated, he whined, "This isn't how you treated me just a second ago!"Danny glanced at him and said, "You're just being dramatic. Back when we sat for our college entrance exams, Dad and Mom didn't pick us up from school either, so why are you asking for special treatment?"Harry was about to turn 18, but still behaved like a little kid.He was still emotionally immature.It seemed like he never considered whether his request would trouble Giselle."What age are we living in, Danny? Can you not be such a bitter old man? You had no one to hold an umbrella over you, so you're trying to

    Giselle was not in need of more traffic and engagement.Ever since she started livestreaming, her broadcasts had consistently pulled in six-digit viewer counts.On good days, it could even go up to seven digits.Tony had already lost count of the times he had given his employees a bonus because of the high viewership. That had been a necessity until now.If every live stream had a seven-digit view count as its minimum, his employees might just find themselves overwhelmed.Giselle replied that she understood.She could just use this chance to take a longer break. After she completed today's tasks, she'd let Yvette know that work would be done remotely. Yvette still had the same tasks as before, where she was in charge of handling the inbox and uploading posts. She would cherry-pick a few meaningful inquiries from the private messages and filter them further before settling on one as the content for a future video.It had been three days since the heated discussion online.The

    "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
