Chapter 99

Author: DuckDuckJoe
"It has nothing to do with Lottie," Jonathan finally said.

He downed drink after drink, his dark and oppressive demeanor making it impossible for anyone to provoke him.

Oddly enough, he felt that it was a little quieter than when he was alone despite the crowded setting.

Larry drank a few glasses with him. Then, out of nowhere, he heard Jonathan ask, "Larry, what would you do if your ex got together with your uncle?"

Larry's brain didn't process the question. Ex? Uncle? Together?

"Jon, you must be drunk. What kind of nonsense are you saying…"

"Answer me." The commanding tone swallowed the rest of Larry's words.

"If my ex got together with my uncle? I would probably laugh my head off.

"My uncle is a gambler and a womanizer. If she chooses him, isn't that just self-torture? If my ex found someone worse than me, I would joke about it for the rest of my life."

Meanwhile, Emma transferred the one thousand dollars to Giselle's account.

Then, she texted Giselle. "Gigi, that was b

    "Hi, do you have any candles?"Under the bright light, the teenager stood tall with a healthy complexion. Even though his features were still youthful and soft, there were already hints of captivating charm.His dark eyes carried a faint uneasiness, and his tightly clenched fingers had turned pale.Giselle retracted her scrutinizing gaze. "The property management is staffed 24/7. You can just call them if there's a power outage."Faced with a male stranger knocking on her door late at night, Giselle remained highly vigilant.Then, she stepped back. She was about to close the door when the boy suddenly fell forward with a loud thud, landing flat on his face.Giselle was shocked. Was her new neighbor trying to scam her?She called for an ambulance and crouched down to turn him over, bending her finger to check if he was breathing. There was a faint, warm flow. He was alive.Giselle let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the doorframe, waiting for the ambulance. After som

    Harry held on as long as he could and knocked on Giselle's door before he eventually blacked out.She must have gotten quite a scare. It was rare for Harry to do a self-reflection and be annoyed at himself.He wanted to get down from the bed. As he tore the blanket off, he felt a man's hand press him back down.Confused, Harry lifted his head and asked, "Chet?""She didn't come."Those three words instantly made Harry downcast.With a calm expression, Chester asked, "Do you know her?""No. We met for the first time today."Having said this, Harry scratched his head and added, "She just feels familiar."He was not sure why either. …Chester left only when the assistant arrived. A text message from Giselle soon appeared on his phone.Gigi: "Is he okay?"Chester: "He's fine. His hypoglycemia was acting up."Only then was Giselle relieved.Everyone slept peacefully that night.When she woke up, Charlotte's name was the most-searched name on Twitter.After scanning through

    Feeling perplexed, Giselle frowned."The Grant family clothed and fed you. We have never mistreated you, have we? Who gave you the right to do this?"This inquisition was laced with insurmountable anger.Sebastian looked at the descending curve on the computer screen. He was livid.He had been overwhelmingly busy these few days.Before Brady's incident, the company had already been under malicious attack by some parties.First, their plan was leaked. Then, their key employees were poached.Bad things happened one after another. For the finale, the incident involving Brady took the cake.The products he endorsed were getting boycotted by buyers nationwide. They demanded a return and refund of their money.They refused to use the products that a scumbag endorsed, fearing that karma would prevent them from finding their significant others in the future.That was just pure nonsense! Sebastian had just taken over the family's business but now had a mountain of problems to deal w

    Giselle and Harry took this opportunity to get each other's contact details.The 18-year-old teenager was very friendly.There would always be a reason for him to text her every day. This was especially so after learning that she was acquainted with Chester. In fact, he was dying to gossip about it.Harry: "So Giselle, how'd you and Chester meet?"Harry: "Giselle, just tell me, pretty please? I know a secret about him."Harry: "I promise you, it's a TOP secret!"Chester's secret? There was no doubt that Giselle had taken the bait Harry cast.Her understanding of Chester was merely surface-level. She could not obtain much information about him on the internet.Giselle: "I'm not that close with Chester. The first time we met was when I was an exchange student abroad."That was not a lie. She sat on the beanbag with her head lowered while she typed away.Giselle: "It's your turn now. So what's that little secret of his?"Harry: "Chet's almost 30 and he's never been in a relatio

    Emma had sent a picture to Giselle.Emma: "Gigi, look. Is this your adoptive father?"Giselle enlarged the photo. It was evident that the photo had been taken in secret. The picture was dark. A man's silhouette could be vaguely seen with the help of the streetlight. He was embracing a woman tightly.Giselle: "Where was this taken?"Emma: "I went back to the law firm in the evening to take some documents. When I came out, I saw a man and a woman sneaking around. The man looked familiar."Giselle understood everything. When she pieced the incident outside the study together with this, it was apparent that Harold had been unfaithful for many years.Giselle saved the photo, already thinking of the perfect timing for the exposé.Considering how the Grant family had tormented her for many years, it would be disingenuous to say that there was zero resentment.Giselle never claimed to be a saint. She lived by a tit-for-tat principle.For her, there was nothing left in the Grant fami

    Hector was sincerely seeking advice from Chester.Chester, however, was rendered speechless. He should not have come this evening.Chester simply said, "Self-assurance. She would not marry Jonathan."He was being honest. After learning that Giselle was his nephew's fiancée, Chester had people look into the matter.It was around that time that he found out about the suspicious relationship between Jonathan and Charlotte.There were no grounds for a platonic friendship between a poor female college student and the son of the Lawson family.The current situation turned out to justify his suspicion at the time.Hector retorted, "How could you be so sure? Even if she didn't marry your nephew, she could end up marrying someone else!"A beautiful and outstanding woman like Giselle would always have someone pursuing her.If it was not for Giselle being a lovestruck fool, she would probably already have had hundreds of boyfriends.Even when he was doubted, Chester was not angry.Lang

    Giselle: "Not yet."Chester: "I'm at the police station."Giselle sprang up from bed and changed out of her pajamas swiftly. She hurried out after putting a coat on.The wind outside came in bursts of cold air. By the time Giselle arrived, half an hour had already passed.Inside the police station, the lights were bright.After Yvonne's incident, Giselle had become a familiar face to those at the police station. To them, she was a beauty with brains.Giselle went straight to Jim."Captain Lane," she called. Giselle stood up straight. She looked around but Chester was nowhere to be seen.In truth, she had no idea why she had rushed over so suddenly.Chester did not ask her to come over either. He had only said that he was at the police station."Are you here for Mr. Fordham? He's in the waiting room."In the waiting room, Tony could be seen grimacing while treating his wounds. One of his eyes had been bruised. The corner of his mouth was injured as well.There were some scra

    Giselle was rendered speechless. She would have been able to understand if it had just been Tony who was involved in the fight. How did Chester become a part of the fight as well?She remembered Chester as someone who would never act impulsively. As if having read her mind, Chester emphasized, "I was acting in self-defense."When he spoke, he inadvertently raised his arm, revealing the bloodied scratches on his arm.Giselle's eyes were instantly drawn to those wounds.Her pretty brows knitted together instantly.Chester caught the subtle movements on her face. The corner of his lips curved upward slightly, a brief display of unrestrained delight. "It's not painful," he said.Tony was dumbfounded. "But Giselle did not even ask you if it hurt. Why did you start talking to yourself?"Chester seemed like a stranger now, causing Tony to feel surprised. It felt like he was seeing Chester for the first time.He was about to say something when Chester shot him a look, instantly mak

    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.

    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
