Chapter 100

Author: DuckDuckJoe
"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.

    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!

    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

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?

    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

    Vivian began sweating profusely.Both her hands clasped tightly behind her. She was filled with utter panic and unease on the inside.She would have never come over if she knew that Chester was here, not even if it was her best friend who needed to be bailed out."There has to be some misunderstanding here, Uncle Chester. Let me explain."Vivian began racking her brains to find an excuse.Tony, however, was a professional bullshit detective. He walked out of the room, one step behind, and said, "Explaining means covering up, and covering up means lying. Vivian, just look at your terrible taste in friends!"She was, after all, the daughter of the esteemed Lawson family. How could she have been raised like this?It was obvious that those tatted delinquents were bad news. They were foul-mouthed and uncouth.Even taking just one more look at them made Tony feel disgusted.How could Vivian even consider them her friends and come over to bail them out?Could it be that she had lost

Being merciful, she said, "I mean, I won't go with you unless…"She was undoubtedly baiting them. There was a flash of malice in Angela's eyes as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Unless what?""Unless you let me play with your spell bugs."The moment she finished talking, the lights in the corridor suddenly came back on.Angela's face was as pale as death. How did Giselle know that she practiced witchcraft? She must be trying to trick her!Angela's petite body trembled. Still, she tried her best to maintain a calm composure."W-What spell bug?

Many others had also commented on how much she resembled the Stones.Giselle was always curious but never felt the need to find her biological family.Now that Chester had brought it up, Giselle found herself deep in thought. Chester quietly texted on his phone.After a while, he asked again, "Gigi, would you mind if I arranged a DNA test?"

    Chester said, "Harry accidentally spilled water on the guest bed. It's pouring outside… Can I stay at your place tonight, Gigi?"Harry grumbled to himself but eventually gave in, thinking about the money Chester had promised him. "It's all my fault! Giselle, you should let Chet stay the night." Giselle was silent. Something felt off, but she couldn't bring herself to say no. After a moment, she stepped aside. "Come in." Harry also tried to follow them inside, but Chester stopped him. "Head home now. You still have school tomorrow." Chester was firm.Harry was speechless. How could someone be so quick to burn bridges after crossing them? How despicable! After the door closed, Harry turned away and immediately pulled out his phone to vent in their group chat.
