Giselle didn't even bat an eye. "I'm not interested."

It was quite nice to be alone in the world. She didn't need to worry about the consequences of her actions and could do whatever she wanted.

Linda was dead wrong if she thought she could threaten Giselle with that. The former was rendered speechless by Giselle not acting the way she'd expected.

Giselle looked around the living room, satisfied when she saw the mess she'd created. Then, she pulled out her phone and showed the QR code for her Venmo account. "Pay me the cleaning fees."

She would need to hire someone to clean up the mess outside her condominium, and whoever caused it would have to pay for it.

Harold's expression turned hideous. "What are you talking about? We might be rich, but we're not idiots!"

The way he saw it, Giselle was being nonsensical. She'd gone insane after descending into poverty!

Charlotte felt diffident. She'd secretly hired the guy to make the mess outside Giselle's condominium; Harold and Linda di

    "Who do you want to pursue, Mr. Fordham?" Giselle met Chester's eyes and looked surprised. She couldn't read him from behind his glasses. Still, she was genuinely curious. Which woman could make someone like Chester pursue her?"Do you really want to know?" he asked in return.For some reason, this made Giselle's heart skip a beat. She hastily averted her gaze and looked down at her glass. "Pretend I didn't ask if you don't want to answer."Chester didn't take things too far. He retracted his gaze and said, "You'll find out soon enough."Then, he switched the subject. They chatted for a while more before he told her to rest.The rain grew heavier. Giselle got into bed after washing up. Now that she was relaxed, she was overwhelmed with exhaustion. She checked her phone to see a few unread messages from Emma."I'm sorry for dragging you into today's mess, Ms. Stone. I've cleared my outstanding bill with you—consider the extra compensation for your distress. Thanks for showing me h

    Jonathan scrutinized Chester's face as he spoke. His gaze was sharp and probing.He couldn't reach Giselle, and neither could the Grants. That was why he'd decided to try his luck with Chester. Giselle had left with him yesterday, after all.This had grated on Jonathan's nerves. He couldn't understand it—didn't Giselle know that she needed to maintain boundaries? Even if they were already broken up, wasn't she slapping him in the face by spending time with Chester? She knew he didn't like his uncle.Chester clearly sensed Jonathan's hostility, but it didn't bother him. He leaned back leisurely, his gaze calm as he faced the latter. "Do I need to report to you on who I spend time with and who I'm close to?"Jonathan was no match for him, whether in terms of status or capabilities. The former clenched his fists, the veins in his forehead throbbing as he suppressed his anger. "She's my fiancée, Uncle Chester.""You two have already broken up," Chester said calmly.Jonathan felt like

    Jonathan's eyes glinted when he saw the caller ID. Then, he stood up. "If you can reach Giselle, tell her that running away isn't going to resolve anything."Larry was the second son of the Barton family. Now that he'd ended up in the hospital, there was no way the Barton family would let the matter slide so easily. That was why Jonathan was looking for Giselle. He could help her resolve this issue as long as she gave in and backed down.Giselle only came out of the room when she heard Jonathan leave. Chester's expression was still cold. "Did you hear everything?""Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop," she said, looking at him. "If Jonathan asks you about me again, you can just tell him we don't know each other well."He narrowed his eyes, a little displeased to hear that. It was hard to tell how he felt as he said, "I don't like lying, though."Giselle was taken aback by his words. However, Chester had no plans to reveal his true intentions so soon. He wanted to take things slow. H

    Emma brought Giselle to the top bar in Seaworth City. She was evidently a regular there.As soon as they entered the private room, they were greeted by dozens of young men with different personalities and styles. It went without saying that they all looked good.Giselle said nothing, but Emma generously told her to pick first. "We're in the same boat, Ms. Stone. There's plenty of fish in the sea, so don't obsess over that one dumb fish. Pick whichever guy you like—everything is on me tonight."With her words, the men started showing what they were capable of. Giselle was at a loss for words. After a while, she held a hand to her forehead and said, "I'm not picking a gigolo, Ms. Jones.""Come on now. They're just here to drink with you and alleviate your boredom," Emma said.Giselle was insistent on her rejection, so Emma gave up. The private room was a lot more spacious after Emma dismissed the men.Giselle started pouring the drinks. She downed hers, which surprised Emma. "I wou

    Someone asked about the situation with Larry. Jonathan narrowed his eyes and said, "Whoever's caused the problem will have to deal with the fallout themselves."He wanted to see how long Giselle could hold out when she had no one to rely on in Seaworth City. As long as she was obedient, he didn't mind putting a roof over her head and giving her some help. They'd been together for seven years, after all. He didn't think she could sever their ties so easily.Unless… Jonathan thought about the gown Giselle had worn to Richard's birthday celebration. His annoyance surged. Who the hell had given her the gown?The others in the room shut up when they sensed his irritation.Outside, Giselle leaned against the wall, thinking about the conversation she'd just heard. Once upon a time, she'd considered these people her friends. Now, they were badmouthing her behind her back. It was revolting.She didn't stay there any longer—the conversation had destroyed her good mood. She went to the restr

    The man eyed Giselle lecherously. She recognized him—he was Phil Cross, one of Jonathan's good friends. She'd already forgotten about this, but his words reminded her.Phil wanted to get in her pants but had never dared to do anything about it because he feared retribution from Jonathan. The only time he'd expressed his desire was when Jonathan had brought Charlotte with him to a charity dinner.Phil told Giselle that Jonathan wasn't in love with her anymore and advised her to switch to someone else. He also told her he was willing to take her as his lover despite having a fiancée.Giselle had turned him down and fallen out with him."Does Jonathan know about this?" Giselle asked, trying to stay calm. She quickly tried to devise a plan to get away.There were three men in the room. If Emma weren't drunk, they would stand a chance of getting away. However, Emma was fast asleep now. Giselle would have a hard time fending the three men off, especially if she needed to protect Emma.

    Phil looked at Giselle smugly. "Save your energy, Giselle. Even the most arrogant of people will beg like dogs once they've had that!"She felt horrible. She snarled and shouted, "You're committing a crime, Phil!"He burst into laughter as if he'd heard a joke. It took him a while to stop. "Do you have anything to prove that this is a crime? I haven't done anything to you."The drug he'd fed Giselle couldn't be detected by any professional equipment after eight hours. Even if Giselle were to sue him for sexual assault, he had a video to show that she'd willingly given herself to him. He could even use it against her.Phil started fantasizing about how it would feel like to sleep with her. He couldn't be hasty, though. He wanted to wait until she started begging him like a dog. He wanted to stomp all over her pride and dignity.As time passed, the drug started taking effect. Giselle felt a wave of heat wash over her. She clenched her fists, trying hard to remain lucid.

    Chester stepped on Phil's right hand while the latter watched in horror. He forced the bloody palm onto the floor before grinding it.Phil's tortured cries filled the room, making the server outside shudder. He couldn't help thinking about how ruthless Chester was.Chester's eyes glinted maliciously behind his glasses. Phil's pleas fell on deaf ears. Even he couldn't bear to touch a hair on Giselle's head, yet a scumbag like Phil dared to covet her. The more Chester thought about it, the more intense his desire to murder became."I was wrong, Mr. Fordham! I-I had no idea Giselle was yours… Please, let me go!" If Phil had known about this, he wouldn't have dared do anything to Giselle. Heck, he would've gone for Emma instead of Giselle!His survival instinct won out over everything else, leaving him incapable of wondering what Chester and Giselle had to do with each other. All he knew was that he didn't want to die!"It looks like you don't need your mouth, either." Chester took of

    Giselle looked uncaring, but her words and actions were the complete opposite. When she went all out, no one could get in her way. All three people in front of her had witnessed it before.When she uttered that last sentence, they all recalled bad memories at the same time. Among the three of them, Jonathan had the most terrible look on his face. He looked so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain over his head soon.At that moment, Giselle clearly had the situation in her control.Just as the mood was feeling tense, Charlotte received a call, and her face visibly turned pale. Then, her shoulders started trembling, and she looked weak.Vivian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Lottie? You look terrible. Do you feel unwell?"Hearing that, Jonathan finally looked away from Giselle. He moved his fingers a little, but he didn't support Charlotte at all.Charlotte's eyes teared up as she glared at Giselle. Then, she choked weakly, "Giselle! When did I ever mess with you? I did e

    "Mr. Lawson, please donate your eyes to someone who needs them if you won't use them yourself."After Giselle said that, she put her phone away and lazily stood there. She didn't look scared at all when three people were attacking her.The more she acted that way, the more frustrated Jonathan felt. He didn't understand why she was still so arrogant when she clearly had nothing left. He wondered who gave her the confidence to act that way. Was it Chester?Not only did Chester not help her with the cyberbullying this time, but he even made things worse for her. So, Jonathan had to eliminate him as a possibility. In which case, who else could it be?Suddenly, Harry's name popped into Jonathan's mind, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made a sound. Then, he said with a scoff, "You sure are capable, Giselle!"Jonathan thought Giselle was more active than a social butterfly for changing partners nonstop. He couldn't believe she would actually go for someone as young as

    Jonathan had appeared behind Giselle. His dashing face looked gloomy, and his sharp gaze looked hostile."Jonathan!" Charlotte called out in excitement. Her eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior.Vivian poked her head out from behind and comforted Charlotte, "Don't worry, Lottie. Jon is here to save you!"Hearing that, Charlotte finally stopped feeling anxious.Meanwhile, Giselle held back her urge to laugh. She took two steps forward and got closer to Jonathan. Then, she scoffed and turned around, saying mockingly, "It looks like you're having difficulty hearing at such a young age, Mr. Lawson. I'm talking about teaching your darling a lesson, of course!"She thought Charlotte was being too naive in thinking that she was saved with Jonathan here. Even if an actual god was here, Charlotte would still have to pay for what she had done."Play nice, Giselle!" Jonathan's head was throbbing when he heard Giselle's sarcastic words. He didn't walk to Charlotte's side. Instead, he ju

    Jonathan stood tall with his jacket hung on his arm. He looked elegant as he walked anxiously into the station. After scanning the room, he saw Vivian walking toward him."Jon, how did you know I was here? I was just about to call you!"Among all the people in the Lawson family, Vivian looked up to her brother the most. He was dashing and capable; she was proud to call him her brother.When she first learned that Jonathan was dating Giselle, she threw a tantrum and didn't want to eat for three days. After realizing that no one cared about her, she started messing with Giselle in the dark.At first, she would hold herself back, thinking that Giselle was the daughter of the Grant family. When the true daughter of the Grants showed up, she became out of control.As the daughter of the Lawsons, she would always look down on Giselle and oppress her. When she saw Giselle submissively enduring it, Vivian despised her even more. There was no way Vivian would let Giselle become her sister-

    Vivian laughed as she gloated, and the anger within her faded a little."Serves you right!" she exclaimed, thinking that Giselle couldn't check into a room with Harry now.Lindsay was speechless. She knew how arrogant Vivian could be, but she never expected the latter to be that petty. She put on her headphones and said, "I have to leave now. Vivian, don't call me over something like this in the future."From what Lindsay could tell, Vivian was just being unreasonable. When Lindsay stood there, she felt extremely awkward.Vivian turned to her and asked, "Linds, aren't you going to check out the situation with me?"Lindsay placed her hands in her pockets and walked away. "No, thanks. I'm busy."When she was called, Lindsay thought Vivian was being beaten up by someone. However, it turned out to be something trivial.Feeling upset, Vivian pouted her lips and mumbled, "Why is she so cocky?" Then, she got into a taxi and hurriedly went to the police station.…When Giselle saw the

    Lindsay was stunned when she heard that, thinking that Vivian was out of her mind.A suppressed feeling resurfaced when Lindsay heard Vivian spreading such a scandalous thing. She pursed her lips and coldly asked, "Who did you call?""My brother and uncle!" said Vivian.Lindsay understood why Vivian would call Jonathan, but she didn't understand why Vivian would tell Chester about it as well. After all, from what she knew, Giselle had nothing to do with the Fordhams.Vivian could tell Lindsay was confused, and she put on a pitiful act. "I've forgotten to tell you something, Linds. Your family has been attacked."Lindsay became even more confused when she heard that. "What do you mean?""My uncle, who is your cousin, has been seduced by Giselle!"…Harry and Giselle stood by the road as they waited for the driver to bring the car around.Harry was wearing a black hoodie that complemented his figure. His tan skin showed how energetic he was. He was on his phone when he suddenly

    Giselle wondered if Vivian was blind. As she stared at Vivian, her gaze went cold, and she deemed the younger girl to be an idiot.Lindsay was silent for a long time. Her gaze moved back and forth between Giselle and Harry, and she noticed they both looked beautiful and dashing respectively. So, when they stood together, nothing seemed wrong to her.Despite that, she thought it didn't seem likely that what Vivian said was true. Instead of a couple, Giselle and Harry looked more like siblings to her.Lindsay fell into a deep thought. She wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she thought those two looked a little identical.When Vivian noticed Lindsay wasn't saying anything, she became anxious. "Linds, you have to help me!"Lindsay helplessly shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do, Vivian. Do you have any proof that there's something fishy going on between them?"Vivian was stunned by the question. After stuttering for a while, she still couldn't answer Lindsay. Everything

    Vivian was certain that Harry didn't know about Giselle's true colors. She believed Giselle to be a disgusting piece of trash who didn't know her place. In her mind, Giselle was crazy for seducing another man right after leaving Jonathan and even seducing her uncle!The more Vivian thought about it, the angrier she was. She couldn't understand why all those men would be that interested in Giselle. After all, Giselle didn't look that beautiful in her opinion. As Vivian stared at Giselle, her gaze was filled with jealousy.Harry said in confusion, "I know that. Why did you suddenly bring that up, Vivian?"He might be erratic, but it didn't mean he was a fool. He had looked into Giselle's past before, and he had an idea about who she was.Vivian looked into his eyes and said sternly, "She was my brother's fiancée, and she's almost 25 years old. Don't you think you should stay away from her?"Hearing that, Harry frowned. He thought Vivian was being ridiculous."Vivian, have you not k

    Giselle lifted her chin a little and looked at Vivian meaningfully. "So you want to join us, huh?"Vivian felt provoked, and she gritted her teeth hard. "I'm sure you won't mind, right?"As she spoke, she smiled hideously. At that moment, she was focusing on Giselle so much that she had forgotten about Harry. His gaze was filled with disgust as he looked at her.Giselle pretended to think about it and acted like she was in a difficult spot. After a moment, she said with a frown, "But you'll be in our way."It was an ambiguous sentence. When Vivian heard that, she was even more certain that Giselle was interested in Harry. With that thought in mind, she silently cursed. Vivian was so furious that she was about to explode. However, the angrier she got, the more satisfied Giselle became.Vivian clenched her fists tightly and did her best to suppress the anger within her. She gritted her teeth and tried again. "Giselle, I'm a quiet person, so I won't disturb you two."Then, Giselle p
