Chapter 53

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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."

    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

    The sharp sound of the slap froze the surroundings. Giselle's head tilted, and her fair face turned red and swollen from the force of Sebastian's slap.Sebastian opened his mouth, but instead of the words he had planned to say, a sharp accusation escaped. "Giselle, don't push it."He never thought about hitting Giselle. She had been his sister for over 20 years, even without a blood relation, and the Grant family would accept her as long as she remained compliant. Unfortunately, Giselle always opposed Charlotte, making it clear that he would choose his biological sister over her.Besides, Giselle owed Charlotte everything, so she had no right to bully her. This thought quickly erased Sebastian's guilt.Giselle looked down, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her face, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She gently touched the sore spot inside her cheek with the tip of her tongue. The pain brought clarity to her thoughts.All eyes were fixed on her. After a moment, Giselle smirked

    Giselle couldn't help but notice the joy sparkling in Charlotte's eyes. "Instead of claiming that Charlotte is suffering on my behalf, it's more accurate to say that the Grant family has engaged in too many wrongdoings, and this is karma.""Giselle!" Sebastian shouted in anger. He raised his hand to strike, but Giselle quickly grabbed his wrist. A look of shock crossed Sebastian's face. He was taken aback by the unfamiliar, chilling defiance reflected in her eyes."Are you addicted to slapping, Sebastian? That slap was my way of repaying your kindness. From now on, stay out of my life. Take your dear sister and get out of here." With that, Sebastian's hand was forcefully shaken off.Giselle had never been kind and was aware of who treated her well. However, Charlotte's presence made everyone favor her. Giselle rejected any kindness she believed was insincere. Her determined and cruel gaze appeared genuine. Sebastian was at a loss for words, showing a complex expression.All

    The station fell silent. Sebastian's face flushed as he clenched his fists in embarrassment. Nobody saw it coming when Chester took hold of Giselle's hand and delivered a sharp slap to Sebastian's face.In Seaworth City, the declining Grant family still garnered respect due to their upcoming marriage to the Lawson family. Chester's action was clearly humiliating the Grants."Sebastian, are you alright? Does it hurt?" Charlotte snapped back to reality and tried to touch the spot where Sebastian was hit.Yet, he avoided her, looking distressed. At 32 years old, he faced a level of humiliation he had never experienced in his life. Chester showed him no respect at all.Sebastian was furious but knew he had to hold back to avoid offending Chester. Despite not having the Fordham family's support, he realized that upsetting Chester could be a mistake.Sebastian tried to calm down and realized he had another concern. He wondered how Giselle got close to Chester. Their bond seemed sign

    Charlotte felt Giselle's words were very insulting. She trembled uncontrollably. After a moment, she turned and threw herself into Sebastian's arms in grievance.Logically, Sebastian should have insisted that Giselle apologize once more. Yet, at that moment, he seemed to be rendered speechless.Giselle found it absurd, yet she accepted it. With the final remnants of her connection to the Grant family fading away, she realized her world didn't rely on anyone else to shine. She was the light herself.Sebastian and Charlotte fled in embarrassment, ending the farce. Giselle sighed in relief, but before she could fully relax, Chester pulled her away."Mr. Fordham…" she whispered, struggling briefly before being placed in the passenger seat. Chester placed one hand on the door, lowering his eyes, his jaw set with cold determination. "Key."Giselle looked up. "What?""Your car key."Giselle wasn't sure why Chester wanted her car key, but she handed it over obediently under his seriou

    Giselle couldn't shake the feeling that she was hallucinating. Chester, being such an incredibly intelligent man, would never utter such statements. It seemed impossible.Just as Giselle exhaled in relief, Chester said again, "It truly hurts."Giselle was utterly speechless, her embarrassment leaving her unsure of where to place her hands.She avoided looking into Chester's eyes. After a moment, she quietly suggested, "How about I go with you to the hospital for a CT scan now?"She figured she shouldn't be strong enough to break someone's head.Chester noticed Giselle was feeling guilty. He held back his smile and started the car. "No need.""I called you multiple times, but you didn't respond, so I leaned over to help you buckle your seat belt," Chester explained, stopping his teasing.Giselle felt a wave of relief wash over her. As for Chester's request for her to rub his face, perhaps it was merely a joke. She had managed to convince herself otherwise. However, once she com

    During her seven years of being with Jonathan, people believed Giselle wasn't good enough for him and was marrying above her station. Today, she heard someone say the opposite for the first time, leaving her feeling confused.Chester offered her a tissue thoughtfully, then opened the car door. "I'm going to step out for a cigarette."He made sure to leave room for Giselle, knowing she had a strong personality and likely preferred to guard her vulnerable side. If Chester were his partner, he wouldn't allow Giselle to face her negative emotions alone. He was cautious about crossing any boundaries that might jeopardize her trust. He was patient enough to wait.Chester stood casually by the car in the darkness, a cigarette flickering between his fingers. Since finding out that Giselle was engaged to Jonathan, he locked himself away and smoked all night. Ultimately, he decided to quit as he realized that cigarettes were detrimental to his health.It was just an excuse to allow Giselle

    The moment Giselle's name was mentioned, Chester couldn't help but want to listen further.Tony scoffed inwardly. He then walked to a corner of the racetrack and shielded the microphone of his phone. "Lindsay said Giselle is pregnant, and the father is Jonathan."His words sent Chester's heart plummeting to the depths. The casual expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a stormy gloom that seemed to chill the air around him."What did you say?" he asked for confirmation in a hoarse voice. His grip on the phone tightened, and the veins on his hand bulged.Tony shrank back instinctively, feeling a chill run down his spine. He regretted not keeping his mouth shut. Half an hour ago, he had bumped into Lindsay, who was also there to watch the race.She was clearly a social butterfly. She used her connection to Chester as an excuse to strike up idle conversation. Somehow, the topic had veered toward Giselle. That was when she had casually dropped this bombshell onto Tony.At

    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

Instantly, his heart skipped a beat. Alarm bells started to ring in his head.Sure enough…"I'm sorry, Chester. I forgot that you're no longer at Lawson Group."Giselle addressed Chester affectionately without any hesitation.She did this on purpose, of course.Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was so mad that he could even kill someone right now.But when Jonathan recalled his mother's admonition after his fight with Chester, he did his best to hold his anger back.From the phone, Chester could be heard saying, "Just stay there. I'll come over right now."When the call ended, Giselle could hear Jonathan's sneer. "Do you have to get on my nerves, Giselle?"His resentment was as cle

    Jonathan was practically running on autopilot mode as his legs carried him toward Giselle.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for Chester's reply.All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a familiar voice that called, "Gigi."Both of them were good-looking people. Their standing side by side drew many people's attention.Passersby—including the employees—looked in their direction. They had even slowed down subconsciously as they walked by, just to catch a glimpse.Giselle's gaze went from casual to chilling in a split second.There was coldness hidden in her eyes, and a look of vexation settled on her face.Giselle took two steps away from him, putting some distance between them.Jonathan felt like someone was gripping his heart tight, making him feel suffocated.Dismay instantly replaced the feeling of excitement he had felt earlier. He stared at Giselle with woeful eyes. "Gigi…"Giselle did not buy into his words and pitiful act.She grunted. "Jonathan, is this h

    An hour later, the car arrived at Lawson Group.The sky looked gray and hazy, while the air was hot.It was now lunchtime, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the building. Giselle texted Chester, letting him know that she had arrived.At the same time, Jonathan, in his sleep-deprived state, was staring at his phone. The expression on his face was so dark that Rick, his assistant, was trembling with fear when he came in to brief Jonathan on his schedule. He did not even dare to breathe."M-Mr. Lawson…""This had better be important!"Jonathan was like an explosive that could detonate any second.Rick gulped. "Mr. Lawson, I've notified the board that the meeting will be held at the conference room at 2:00 pm…"His voice trailed off at the end.With a loud bang, Jonathan threw his phone to the ground.When it crashed onto the floor, the screen shattered into pieces.That immediately shut Rick up.Ever since Jonathan had returned from the hospital, his temper had

    It was the weekend today, so the café was crowded.The chaos swallowed the woman's voice. Nevertheless, Giselle could still hear her clearly.She paused for a moment to ruminate on the things the woman had just said.Her husband had an affair, and the mistress happened to be a very cunning person. More importantly, the woman's daughter was on the mistress' side.To be hit with betrayal on both sides knocked the wind out of her. Every day, the woman had been drowning in her own tears.Judging from her mental state, depression seemed imminent.Giselle took a sip of her coffee before she asked with a calm tone, "The reason you've approached me is because you want to get back together with your husband and daughter, is that it?"In the public's eye, Giselle was someone who helped mend relationships. In fact, she was a professional who had been mending relationships for a long time.One could just search her name on the internet and find nothing but positive reviews.A majority of

    Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today. Videos from the live stream had gone viral.Obviously, it was not from her own live stream but a third party's.Her fans, who had gone down to the location, had captured everything on camera. There was an explosion of comments beneath related videos.One of the videos was of Jonathan. It had been edited to look like he was the hero coming to his damsel's rescue.With the accompaniment of some background

    In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle. But if he was so madly in love with her, why did he cheat on her?And if he was not madly in love with her, then why had he not gotten over her yet?But wait. The reason he was still not over her was mainly due to t

    It was merely a second ago when Giselle had told him to keep a distance from her, yet she was now in his car voluntarily.Jonathan did not move an inch. He still had his back against the inside of the car door as he faced Giselle, intently looking at her."Women are really fickle. Giselle must still have feelings for me. She's just too proud to admit it," he thought to himself.As for the rumors about her and Chester, they might just be putting on an act.Giselle did not know that Jonathan was in the process of gaslighting himself. When she noticed that he was not about to drive any time soon, she frowned and said, "If you're not going to drive, scram."Only then did Jonathan fix his position. He started the engine, and they headed for the hospital.At first, he was in a joyous mood. He tagged behind Giselle upon arrival at the hospital. It was not until he had reached a ward and saw who was seated on the hospital bed that his expression turned sullen.Giselle had gotten into
