Chapter 68

Penulis: DuckDuckJoe
To be honest, Vivian held a grudge against Richard. Although she was his biological granddaughter, Richard chose to dote on an outsider instead.

What was so special about Giselle? She was nothing more than a child with an unknown parentage!

Vivian thought Richard had become senile. He couldn't even tell right from wrong anymore.

That was why she had decided to visit only Jonathan today. If it hadn't been for Jonathan asking her to visit Richard, she probably would have found an excuse to leave. A grandfather who favored outsiders wasn't worth her time!

Reluctantly, she had come, but to her surprise, Chester was there as well.

Chester simply acknowledged her with a soft sound, not even sparing her a glance.

Vivian had grown used to this.

Her uncle had been working on his research abroad for years. She had only seen him a handful of times in her life.

She had heard plenty of rumors about Chester, and with those rumors in mind, she subconsciously feared him.

    "Chester is a good judge of character. If it doesn't work out, I can have him look into a few solutions…"Giselle felt a bit embarrassed.Chester, however, quickly caught on to what Richard was suggesting. Richard wanted him to introduce someone to Giselle.Chester walked over without showing any emotion and casually took Richard's book out of his hands. "Uncle Richard, it's getting late. You should get some rest," he said.Richard chuckled. "Chester, surely you know some single young men? Pick someone with good character and introduce him to Gigi."Giselle quickly interjected, "Grandpa, really, there's no need. I'm not looking for a relationship right now…""No introductions," Chester said, and Giselle's words trailed off with that firm response.He didn't even bother with being polite and had rejected the idea outright. Even Richard was surprised by his decisiveness.Richard didn't ask any further questions and simply watched as Giselle and Chester left.Afterward, though, h

    It was supposedly to protect Giselle's reputation.Charlotte couldn't believe that someone as graceful and impeccable as Chester could fall for someone so far beneath him. Giselle was just a nobody!Charlotte clenched her teeth, her beautiful features contorting with frustration. "That's impossible! Giselle is nothing but a seductress! She couldn't marry my brother, so now she's targeting my uncle! How disgusting can she be?" Vivian cursed angrily for a long time. She only stopped when her throat became dry.She suddenly remembered something. "Charlotte, I forgot to tell you something. Giselle is pregnant with my brother's child!"The news hit like a bombshell, and Charlotte nearly dropped her phone. She fought to steady her trembling hands. "Giselle is pregnant with Jonathan's child? No, that can't be true!"Vivian thought that Charlotte was sad, judging from her reaction. She could tell that Charlotte had feelings for Jonathan, but because of Giselle, Charlotte had been forced

    Giselle only answered the call after waiting for a short while more. "Mr. Fordham, why'd you call so late at night?" she asked.After hearing her cold voice come through the receiver, Chester felt his racing heart calm down. He swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple bobbed. His voice sounded deep and magnetic as he asked, "Are you still mad?"His words left Giselle feeling stunned. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and her hand that held the phone slowly clenched, and veins appeared underneath her skin.Did Chester purposely come to explain things to her because he knew she was mad about what he said?Giselle replied slowly, "I'm not mad."Anyway, she and Chester could only be considered friends at the most. Plus, she knew she was quite sensitive as a person. Chester didn't need to apologize to her deliberately.Even when she was with Jonathan, her sensitive behavior was never fully reassured.Chester's behavior caused Giselle to feel an unfamiliar emotion, one that she h

    Additionally, Charlotte was about to marry Jonathan. If she was shown to have a poor reputation, wouldn't she get showered with endless criticism?"Ah… If it weren't for someone having Charlotte's back, she would've gotten thoroughly chewed out this time," Emma said, sneering disdainfully over the phone.Giselle brushed it off and said, "She still has many opportunities to get beaten and scolded."Charlotte could have lived a prosperous and fulfilling life for the rest of her life, but she wasn't satisfied and insisted on stirring up trouble. As long as it belonged to Giselle, Charlotte would try her best and stop at nothing to snatch it away from her.Such clown-like behavior wasn't worth Giselle wasting her time on. After chatting for a while more, Giselle received a message from the property agent. They said that the condominium she previously commissioned off for sale had already been bid on by a buyer for the price of four million dollars.Giselle felt quite satisfied with

    "What did you say? Not selling it anymore? Giselle, don't you lack money? What are you pretending for?" Jasmine jeered. When she heard that Giselle wasn't selling the condominium anymore, she immediately lost her composure."Who said I lacked money?" Giselle retorted.She managed to extort several million dollars from Jonathan, and with her income she earned from livestreaming, she could indulge in any luxury she wanted.Giselle continued to taunt Jasmine. "You're a wealthy heiress. Why do you insist on buying a second-hand condominium? Did your family go bankrupt?" "You're the one that's bankrupt! Giselle, you just can't stand to see others doing better than you! It's no wonder Jonathan doesn't want you anymore!" Jasmine snapped.Jasmine was hot-tempered, and coupled with her opinion of Giselle, she easily exploded at the slightest provocation.Giselle remained calm. Compared to her, Jasmine looked like a loud-mouthed commoner from the streets.This scene was beyond the proper

    This conclusion surprised Giselle greatly. She left after saying goodbye to the property agent.Just then, the property agent lowered his head to respond to a message and suddenly exclaimed, "Why is Mr. Fordham from next door also selling his condo?"…Giselle got ready to head home. Just when she reached downstairs, Emma suddenly called. In a very anxious tone, she asked, "Gigi, are you free now? Can you come to the hospital?"Giselle quickly drove to the hospital.Emma lay weakly on the hospital bed. There was no trace of blood on her face, making her very pale.She was fine when they called in the morning, but then she suddenly started bleeding heavily when she went to the bathroom. As it was her first time encountering this situation, Emma had panicked. The first person she thought of was Giselle."The doctor said it isn't a big deal. It's just an infection," Giselle comforted Emma. She was used to seeing Emma acting decisively and swiftly, so it was surprising to see her

    Linda stared angrily at Giselle, believing that she still hadn't given up on Jonathan. "Giselle, listen here. You're not even qualified to marry into the Lawson family. Do me a favor and quickly get lost! Don't even think about bothering Lottie and Jonathan!"As she spoke, she approached Giselle and grabbed her hand.Since Sebastian was by her side today, she was full of confidence. She was determined to humiliate Giselle the same way she did to her last time.A group of passersby started to gather around them, curious about the drama that was unfolding.Giselle coldly watched as Linda got closer and closer to her. Seeing her contorted expression made Giselle's stomach churn.When Linda reached out to her, Giselle threw what she was holding out. The hot oatmeal spilled from the plastic container. Linda screamed as it burned her hands, and red welts started appearing.Sebastian immediately stepped forward and held onto Linda's shoulder. His handsome face stared darkly at Giselle.

    Was it meaningful to have that kind of relationship? However, one thing that had to be said was that it was quite nice to have someone like Giselle as a wife. Even when her husband was indulging himself outside, she didn't dare to say anything against it.Jonathan didn't answer Larry and simply watched the video again.Larry couldn't help but ask again, " Jon, you don't think Giselle will go look for your grandfather, right?""I don't know."His answer stopped Larry from asking any more questions. He rubbed his nose and said, "Come on. I'm not asking too many questions. "Anyway, be careful of Giselle. She's a complete lunatic! She can't stand seeing others do better than her. She must have instigated the divorce between Emma and me."Just the mention of this got Larry all fired up. Which man was truly innocent when it came to messing around? He didn't do anything out of line, yet in the end, he got beaten up, and his wife ran off.Larry gritted his teeth in seething anger.Jon

    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.

    "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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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
