Chapter 86

Author: DuckDuckJoe
No matter what was said or done now, Emma would just take it as an attempt to hide the truth.

After about 40 minutes, a message from Chester popped up, "Come downstairs."

It was short and straightforward.

Seeing Giselle get up, Emma waved her off generously before she could even speak. "Go ahead. Go fly into your lover's arms."

Giselle was at a loss for words. Sometimes, she thought that it'd be nice if some people weren't able to talk.

Chester was leaning against the hood of his car downstairs, his black trench coat accentuating his tall figure. He only lifted his slightly lowered head when he heard footsteps.

Underneath his dark, messy hair was a face with refined and attractive features. His gold-framed glasses added an air of grace and classiness to him.

Suppressing the look of amazement in her eyes, Giselle politely asked, "Mr. Fordham, is there something you need from me?"

"Uncle Richard asked me to come pick you up."

Giselle fell silent.

Richard did say that he would g

  • The Sweetest Revenge   Chapter 87

    "Giselle Stone, I've really underestimated you!"Jonathan wrapped his arms around Giselle's slim waist from behind, his low, husky voice carrying a hint of restrained anger.Giselle jumped from shock, causing the flashlight in her hand to drop to the ground and roll off to the side.The large hand around her waist was impossible to ignore."Now that Hector doesn't want you anymore, you go after my uncle? Aren't you a little too shameless, Giselle?"The two of them had appeared together in front of him more than once.He had previously suspected their relationship but quickly dismissed the idea. In his mind, Chester and Giselle were people from two different worlds—they couldn't possibly be together.However, seeing the two of them get out of the car together shook his belief, making him irritated and furious.When he saw Giselle head to the wine cellar alone, he followed her without a second thought.After sending the housekeeper away, it was just him and Giselle there.As Gi

    Vivian blinked innocently, wearing an expression that made her look as if she were truly concerned for Giselle.In an instant, everyone's gazes at the table turned toward Giselle.The bewildered Giselle questioned, "I'm pregnant?"She was single. Even if she wanted to be pregnant, it was impossible to do it alone.However, Vivian's words reminded her of the message she received a few days ago. Now that Giselle put two and two together, the answer was obvious."Yeah. Did you forget, Gigi? That night, you bought that thing at the pharmacy. Lindsay and I saw you."With Jean present, Vivian called Giselle by her nickname. Vivian wasn't the least bit bothered by how appalling it sounded.Giselle frowned with disgust, whereas Vivian began her offensive again. "But you and Jon are no longer together. Does that mean that the child—"She didn't get to finish her sentence as Jean sharply scolded her, "Vivi! Don't spout nonsense!"Everyone present was smart enough to understand that Vivi

    Richard turned to Jean. "I know you young people still want to focus on your careers, but I'm old now and can't handle their matters anymore!"On the whole, Jonathan was more well-behaved than Vivian.At least he wasn't wayward. If he became a spoiled playboy who only cared about enjoying himself, Richard would probably kick him out of the family on the spot.As for Vivian, Richard had already done everything he could as the grandfather of a young woman. It was hard to handle her rebellious phase.Since she was still young and her behavior could be corrected, Richard selfishly hoped that Jean could put her career on hold and spend time with her.After dinner, Jean asked Giselle to see her in the study.She took a palm-sized box out of the drawer and handed it to Giselle. "Sorry for only giving you your 25th birthday present now, Gigi."Giselle instinctively declined, but Jean firmly insisted she accept it."I know all about the ridiculous things Jonathan did. You've made the ri

    Giselle and Jean had just reached the staircase when they ran into Jonathan—what a coincidence.After what happened in the wine cellar, the sight of Giselle reignited Jonathan's barely suppressed anger. His narrow eyes were bloodshot, his brow furrowing with hostility.The calm Giselle was a stark contrast to his demeanor.Even though Jean wasn't aware of what had happened between them, her instincts told her it couldn't be anything good.Jonathan didn't say a word to Giselle.Upon spotting Charlotte in the living room, he immediately strode toward her.Seeing him walk away, Jean frowned."Jonathan!" The moment Charlotte spotted Jonathan, her face lit up with joy, her features coming alive with excitement. She looked every bit like a young woman in love.Jonathan's presence finally alleviated some of the awkwardness in the atmosphere.Giselle and Jean walked over a moment later.As Giselle didn't see Chester around, she subtly let out a sigh of relief."Hello, Mrs. Lawson."

  • The Sweetest Revenge   Chapter 91

    "As long as I'm alive, Charlotte will never be a part of the Lawson family! If you insist on marrying her, you can get out too!" Richard said.These words instantly wiped away the brief joy on the faces of the Grants. Their expressions darkened almost simultaneously.Richard's statement turned their visit that evening into a pathetic display of self-delusion.The Lawson family clearly looked down on them, yet here they were, desperately ingratiating themselves.Even though they were furious, the Grants dared not voice their anger. They were mindful of the Lawson family's status in Seaworth City.Jean remained silent, evidently in agreement with Richard.Tears quickly formed in Charlotte's eyes, but she stubbornly held back. There was a hint of a sob when she said, "Jonathan, don't argue with your grandpa because of me. I'm okay…"Her good girl act came again.Giselle wanted to leave but also wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold.With the Lawson family present, the Grants

    Chester's black coat was draped over his arm. He was wearing a white shirt.With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his unbuttoned collar added a casual and slightly languid air.Before Jean could say anything, Chester stopped right in front of Giselle.His eyes lowered, and his long lashes cast faint shadows on his cheeks. Then, he said in a crisp, cold tone, "Ms. Stone, let's go. I'll take you home."Jean was slightly surprised. She hadn't told him, but Chester had already volunteered to take Giselle? Since when was her younger brother so enthusiastic about helping others?Jean didn't have time to dwell on it and simply reminded them, "Be careful on the way. Gigi, text me when you're home."Giselle obediently agreed and forced herself to follow Chester out. The cool breeze outside blew away the heat from her flushed face, clearing her thoughts considerably.A black luxury car was parked in the courtyard. Chester opened the car door for her. When Giselle bent down to get in, h

    From getting to know Brady to falling in love, it seemed to be just Lily's one-sided infatuation.She was eleven years older than Brady. Back then, she was a highly sought-after screenwriter in the industry, while Brady was just a newbie starting out.She was attracted to his looks, and Brady went along with her desires. Their secret relationship had initially been based on a sugar mommy and sugar baby dynamic. But it evolved into what appeared to be a normal romance after Brady gained fame.From that point on, their roles reversed.Brady became so busy that he was barely around, sometimes not meeting her for half a year. This made Lily become insecure. She lost herself and became increasingly obsessive.But her tears had already dried up. Now, she was numb, like a lifeless puppet.At the moment, Giselle said, "Expose everything Brady has done."Lily never thought that her relationship of more than 20 years would end so bitterly. It felt like a thousand needles piercing her soft

    "Lily!"The man angrily kicked open the hospital room door, his loud voice echoing in the corridor.Giselle's expression turned cold as she took out her phone and started recording."Lily! Delete all that stuff online right now! Do you have any idea how much damage it's causing me? If you've lost your mind, go to a mental hospital! Don't drag me down with you!"Brady suddenly appeared after being busy with work for a long time.Lily's heart tightened, and she instinctively stepped in front of Yvonne to shield her.Brady removed his hat and mask, revealing the face that Lily had been infatuated with for over 20 years. Time had only added maturity to his features.But his handsome face was now contorted with rage, and the icy glint in his eyes carried a hint of malice.Lily felt her heart sink in an instant."Brady! Don't argue with me here! Yves needs to rest.""Rest? What kind of trick are you two playing this time? Let me tell you, your tactics won't work on me!" Brady let o

    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

    One could easily find Giselle's, Chester's, and Jonathan's names online through related keywords.The news came from an insider, so the credibility was 99.99%.The atmosphere between the two became heated.When Jonathan finally managed to suppress his negative emotions, Giselle's phone rang. 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
