Chapter 46

Penulis: DuckDuckJoe
Emma was connected to an IV drip. She looked frail, and there was a bitter smile on her lips.

"Gigi, I had a dream last night. In my dream, a little girl was crying as she told me not to give up on her and that she would behave well."

Emma choked up, which was unlike her. Her eyes turned red, and she continued, "But I still chose to give her up. Gigi, do you think that I was too ruthless?"

Before lying down on that operating table, Emma had acted as if she was fine.

However, while she was lying there, everything that she tried to avoid thinking about had popped up in her mind. The physical pain she felt had intensified her feelings of grief.

It was only now that Emma belatedly realized that she had once been a child's mother, albeit very briefly.

Giselle held Emma's hand tightly to comfort her. She said gently, "You made the right choice. She'll understand why you did it."

Apart from whether or not the fetus would be healthy, Emma would probably end up entangled further with L

    Noticing the confused look on Giselle's face, Julia added, "Do you remember the night you spent at Mr. Fordham's?"How could Giselle forget? That had been the night she bit Chester. The embarrassing scene flashed across her mind, and she tried her best to remain calm. "Were you there that day too?"There were gaps in her memory of that day. When she had woken up the next day, the only person she had seen was Chester.If Julia and Chester had a special relationship, then the reason they were having this conversation would be clear."Don't misunderstand, Ms. Stone. I went over there with my mentor. You had been drugged, and I'm a woman, so it made things easier," Julia explained quickly; she could tell that Giselle's mind was straying.Giselle belatedly realized what she meant and asked suddenly, "You were the one who changed my clothes?"Julia nodded. "What's the matter?"Giselle remained silent. She couldn't exactly say that she had assumed that Chester had changed her clothes

    After listening to what Julia had said, Giselle was no longer sure. She needed ample time to digest this complicated information.The moment she got home, Hector called. "Ms. Stone, do you have time tonight? I'd like to tell you something face-to-face."Giselle paused for a moment before saying, "Send me the time and address."Great. Now, another problem had appeared.Should she tell Hector that he was a replacement for someone else? If so, there was no reason that he had to continue trying to appease Julia.It would be better for them to part amicably. After all, they hadn't made things official. …Hector had reserved a five-star restaurant in Seaworth City for 7:00 pm, and he asked if Chester would like to come along. Chester was standing by the window, looking tall and lean. He ended his call and looked up lazily at Hector. "If I go with you, it will look too obvious."Hector raised an eyebrow. "How is it obvious? It's very reasonable for two good friends to have dinner t

    Giselle was silent.No wonder Hector and Julia had found each other. Both of them were treating the other as a replacement, even though they had no idea that they themselves were also a replacement.Giselle, who knew the truth, decided to remain silent.Hector continued, "She has a very similar personality to my first love. However, after spending time with her, I realized that I seem to have fallen for her."He wanted to resolve the weight on his heart, so he had to be honest with Giselle. Hector had felt embarrassed at first, but now he had come to terms with it.During all the nights that he had been unable to fall asleep, he had thought through all the possibilities, and the only thing he couldn't accept was being separated from Julia. They had an ambiguous relationship, but he was the one who stood to lose. "If your first love came back right now, would you still choose your current partner?" Giselle fixed her gaze on Hector's face.She wouldn't miss a single change in

    Giselle said nothing and allowed Chester to keep holding her around the waist.Chester's lips curved upward at her compliance, and the last vestige of his annoyance vanished."That's impossible! Chester, you're lying to me, aren't you? You can't have a girlfriend!" the drunk woman suddenly began screaming. She broke down completely and lunged toward Giselle. Her teeth bared in a grimace as she reached out to claw at her.Chester's eyes narrowed, and he pulled Giselle aside to dodge the attack. There was a flash of revulsion in his eyes.He shielded Giselle, and his authoritative air made the other woman sober up almost instantly.Jasmine Sinclair's hand froze in midair, and she turned as pale as a sheet as terror washed over her momentarily.What had she done?She had tried to hit Chester's girlfriend right in front of him!No, that wasn't right! She had paid money to find out, and there had been no mention of Chester having a girlfriend!"Chester, you're lying to me, aren't

    Chester stood tall, a suit jacket draped over his arm. His hair fell slightly tousled across his forehead from the wind. His well-defined eyebrows framed his eyes, which made him look relaxed and easygoing.Hector struggled to maintain a serious expression, desperately trying to hide his laughter. It was clear that he had tipped Chester off about his meeting with Giselle. Coincidence didn't exist in this scenario. It was amusing how Chester tried to play it off. Nothing was simply destined to occur. In reality, it was all part of his plan.Giselle replied calmly, "What a coincidence."The exchange between the two resembled a human-machine interaction. Hector found it fascinating and wished to observe it a bit longer, but a sharp glance from Chester silenced him immediately.Hector cleared his throat and said, "I left something in the private room. I'll get it. You two chat first."After that, he left.Once he departed, Giselle felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her and contem

    "Madam, please check the screenshot I sent you via private message. A woman named Charlotte is imitating you in her live stream. I watched it and found her values to be distorted.""Did you see it as well? I was furious! Who in their right mind would encourage a young woman to become pregnant before marriage? The reporting was unsuccessful. It's appalling how those greedy capitalists operate. Absolutely disgusting."Giselle silently read the comments but didn't respond directly. Then, she transcribed the memo onto paper and showed it in the livestream."A 35-year-old man, 180 cm tall and weighing 66 kg, is a finance expert and owns a private club. He has three houses, five luxury cars, and a yacht in Seaworth City. "He offers the woman 30 thousand dollars in monthly allowance and wants her to work for his company in the future. He grew up in a poor family, is not good at speaking, is a workaholic, and expresses his sincerity through financial support."After writing, Giselle stre

    Giselle quickly changed her clothes and hurried to the police station. As she approached, a loud commotion echoed from within, capturing her attention before she even entered."What did you do to my daughter? You persuaded her to run away with that man. Why would you want to harm her?" A loud cry of grief followed.Charlotte felt dizzy and looked upset. She retorted, "What does it have to do with me? She asked for my advice, and I gave her reasonable suggestions. How was I supposed to know she would make such foolish choices?"The police on duty quickly stepped in to separate the two before a fight broke out.Charlotte entered the interrogation room, closely followed by Giselle. A female police officer introduced herself and provided a brief overview of the situation to Giselle. "Ms. Stone, a woman reported that her daughter has been missing for three days without any contact. We've checked her social accounts and found a private message sent to you before she disappeared."The

    This clearly showed just how important Charlotte was to Sebastian."Where's Jonathan?""I didn't want to worry Jonathan, so I didn't tell him. It's my fault this time. Would it have been better if I had stayed silent? Sebastian, do you think I messed up?"Sebastian gently rubbed her head and replied, "You meant well. It's not your fault."Sebastian had a general idea of why Charlotte was at the police station but not the details. He sympathized with her struggles over the last 20 years and wanted to support her as much as possible. Even if Charlotte was at fault this time, he would stand by her unconditionally.Charlotte was deeply touched, her eyes brimming with tears. "Sebastian, you're so kind to me."Her coquettishness helped Sebastian relieve his mental fatigue.Charlotte held his arm affectionately and asked, "Now that you're back, you won't leave again, right?""Yeah. Everything is finalized. I'm ready to take on Dad's job starting tomorrow."They were chatting as they

Every single day was either spent taking care of Isabelle or doing housework.Where could she have found pockets of time to focus on herself?Giselle said quietly, "Ms. Schuler, you are first and foremost yourself before you are a mother."Jenna was momentarily speechless.

    Seaworth's temperature was rising. As May approached, the temperature had already climbed to 95 degrees.The sun blazed overhead.It was the hottest time of the afternoon, and the streets were nearly empty. Giselle stood quietly beneath a tree, waiting for Jenna.Five minutes later, she arrived. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Stone."Jenna's white Audi pulled up to the curb in front of Giselle. Then, she hurriedly got out of the car, clutching her bag.She politely handed Giselle a bottle of mineral water.Giselle accepted it and asked, "Shall we talk in the car?"As soon as they shut the car door, the stifling heat from outside dissipated. The air conditioning kicked into high gear, quickly cooling down the interior."Ms. Stone, I've only picked up Belle once since she started kindergarten. Do you think she'll be happy to see me?"Just thinking about the past few months filled Jenna with anxiety.Once sweet and well-behaved, her daughter, Isabelle Cooper, had suddenly becom

    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... Ma'am, you've got one hell of a mindset.""So, polygamy has made a comeback? Hey man, start a seminar. I'll listen to everything you say!""What kind of brainwashing is this? Madam, snap her out of it! Don't embarrass us women like this!""Some of us don't even have a wife, and this guy's marrying t

    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
