Chapter 117

Author: DuckDuckJoe
Jean invited Giselle for dinner at a peaceful restaurant.

There was a small stage in the center of the hall, where someone was playing the violin. The restaurant only had one floor, and the private room was located at the end of the hallway. The decorations were simply stylish and exquisite.

When Giselle reached the restaurant, Jean was already in the private room. The latter was 46 years old. That said, she looked like she was in her 30s at most due to her meticulous skincare routine. She had aged well throughout the years, and there were no signs of aging on her face at all.

When she heard the doors open, Jean looked up and saw Giselle. The cold gaze she previously wore warmed up a little.

"Oh, you're here, Gigi. Here! Have a seat."

Giselle greeted Jean politely before taking a seat in front of her.

Jean asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to Giselle. "There's no need for formalities with me. Have a look at the menu and see what you'd like to eat."

    Jean continued, "I've already told Vivi that she's not allowed to hang out with Charlotte anymore."Charlotte was the beginning of Jean's bad luck. Not only did she bring misfortune to Jonathan, but she also led Vivian astray.Jean frowned deeply as her eyes flashed with disgust, betraying how she truly felt."It's right to have her stay away from Charlotte." Giselle agreed with that decision. As she had expected, there were still decent people in the Lawson family.Although it was too late for Jonathan to turn over a new leaf, there was still a chance for Vivian as long as they did their best with her now. If it was impossible, then Giselle would respect her choice for what it was and say nothing more.After staying silent for a moment, Giselle asked, "Mrs. Lawson, I'm sure you didn't invite me for a drink just to talk about this, right?"Jean met Giselle's calm eyes and was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she nodded. "You sure are smart, Gigi."She had always treated Giselle

    Meanwhile, Charlotte and Jonathan were at Paradise Club. Charlotte was wearing a long white dress, while he was in a suit. She mindlessly walked beside him and looked hesitant."Jonathan, why don't I head back first? It might be inconvenient for me to be around while you're in a meeting."After she left the cafe miserably that afternoon, Charlotte hurriedly returned home to change into a new set of clothes.She gritted her teeth in great hatred, but she couldn't do anything about Giselle. The videos taken in the cafe were spreading all over the internet. Sebastian was upset at her for the first time because of this, and he lectured her with suppressed anger.Charlotte felt aggrieved, but she couldn't talk about it with anyone. Harold would be out the whole day, and she wouldn't see him for a while.As for Linda, no one knew what she was up to recently. She looked anxious, and when Charlotte asked about it, Linda would tell her to stay out of an adult's business.Charlotte didn'

    Jonathan's gaze fell on Giselle, who was standing next to Jean.Giselle calmly looked into his eyes. It was a familiar gaze, but there was no love for him anymore. That was something Jonathan had known for a long time, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly."Why can't I be here?" Jean coldly looked at him. As his mother, she managed to stop him from talking to Giselle for the time being."I'm just saying that it isn't appropriate for you to be here."Paradise Club was a proper place of business. However, most of its patrons were powerful businessmen, and it was rare for women to be there. Clearly, Jean and Giselle stood out amongst the crowd"Why can't I bring Gigi here when you can bring Charlotte here?"Jonathan didn't expect Jean to bring up Charlotte so suddenly, and his frown deepened. Bringing Charlotte was a last-minute decision, but Jean was acting as if she already knew it would happen a long time ago.Feeling suspicious, Jonathan looked at Giselle once more.

    It was Chris who pulled Giselle into the room, and he pinned her against the door frame. When she smelled the alcohol on his warm breath, she felt incredibly uncomfortable."So, you're the one they sent, huh?"Giselle was confused when she heard that. After all, he was the one who dragged her into the room. She didn't understand why he would say that. She almost chuckled in anger as her eyes widened incredulously.It was dark in the room, and there was only a single mood light in the corner."They have good taste this time." Chris sounded satisfied as he spoke in a hoarse voice. Just as he was about to kiss Giselle, she suddenly kicked him in the crotch with a raised knee.His pained scream filled the entire room. It hurt so much that the lust he was feeling as a result of the drugs he'd taken was fading away slowly.Chris fell and curled up on the ground. Giselle looked down at him and heard some footsteps approaching from behind. Then, the person in charge of Paradise Club open

    When Giselle finally caught up with Jean, everything was already over. Charlotte ran past her while crying with her face covered.Then, Giselle looked at Jean and the gloomy Jonathan. The relationship between the mother and son was tense. Since Jean was often busy with work, they weren't close to begin with. Because of Charlotte, they became even more distant from each other."Mrs. Lawson."Jean could tell from Giselle's gaze that she was worried, so she shook her head and said, "I'm alright."After that, Jean coldly looked at Jonathan. "I don't care what reasons you might have in the future. Stay away from Charlotte from now on!"Charlotte's shameless acts humiliated Jean to no end, and the latter couldn't figure out why Jonathan would like someone like that. After all, how could Charlotte ever compare to Giselle? They were two completely different women, and he just had to pick the worst one!Jean was truly infuriated this time as she found her son's poor judgment embarrassing.

    Jean was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe Chester would call Giselle in the middle of the night. To her, Chester was always cold and aloof, keeping a distance between himself and everyone else. Regardless of gender, that was how he treated everyone around him.Jean couldn't help thinking about the time when she asked him to send Giselle home previously. Back then, he didn't reject the request as well. From what Jean could tell, something fishy was going on.Giselle answered the call in front of Jean. "Hi, Mr. Fordham.""I just heard that you're at the police station. Is that true?"Giselle kept quiet for a moment. She was surprised by how quickly he had received the news. Of course, she knew it had to be Jim who told him about it. When Sebastian was at the station previously, Jim was the one who called Chester to back her up.Giselle lowered her gaze and answered with a light hum. When she felt Jean's gaze on her, she simply said she was about to head home."Let me pick you up."

    Chris continued with another message. "I wasn't doing it on purpose. I was drugged."When he first saw the footage, he felt a little excited. However, when he saw Giselle kicking him in the crotch, the excitement immediately went away. Even when he was sending the message, he could still feel the pain in his lower body. That was the biggest humiliation of his life!Had he been hurt beyond saving, he would never let her go, even if she was innocent! There was no way he would take the initiative to apologize to her like that."Sure. I'll forget about it this time. However, I think you should cut down on your erotic fantasies, Mr. Barton."As Giselle sent that message, she remembered what had happened back then, and she had goosebumps all over her body. She knew he was drugged. However, she wasn't the one who did it, so she could do whatever she had to. After all, she couldn't possibly let him do whatever he wanted to her.When Chris read her message, he suppressed his anger. He only

    Giselle tapped into the news to check it out. Then, a video clip showed up—the same one that led to Charlotte's bullying online. However, the context of the story had changed.She didn't have the patience to go through all the texts. Fortunately for her, someone in the comment section had summarized it."Let me summarize it for everyone. I'm sure everyone is aware of identity theft, right? The woman who splashed the coffee stole the other woman's life as the daughter of a rich family."Giselle's identity had been exposed on the internet. With Charlotte's notorious reputation, their names were ranked high on the trending list.For more than 20 years, Giselle enjoyed the wealthy life that should've belonged to Charlotte. On the contrary, Charlotte had a difficult life. In order to survive, she had to work while she studied. She was the prime example of an inspirational woman.With that, Charlotte's reputation improved a little, and the people online were enjoying the gossip as it un

    Giselle did not even care to learn how they managed to convince Charlotte to join them.None of it mattered anymore. Their plan was about to fail, after all. Did she seem that weak to them?While she was still deep in thought, there was suddenly the sound of someone kicking at the door. In the midst of that chaos, the sharp voice of a woman could be heard, saying, "Chester, I saw Giselle and Jonathan enter this room with my own eyes!"The door swung open.The bed inside was a mess, but there was no one there.Disarrayed footsteps headed toward the bathroom. Just like that, a group of people appeared in front of Giselle.Finley, who was the leader of the pack, was stunned when she saw that Giselle was still neatly dressed.This was different from what she had imagined!The calm look on Giselle's face did not look like that of someone who had just finished doing the deed. On the other hand, Jonathan, who was lying in the bathtub… looked extremely miserable.The media who had bee

    The room was dimly lit.There was a thick scent of incense in the air. It did not take many inhalations before Giselle started to feel her body getting warm. She quickly covered her nose.Using the only source of light, she squinted her eyes and moved forward.Within seconds, the rough breathing of a man appeared next to her ear.The shadow on the wall was approaching her. When his hand was about to reach her, Giselle dodged to the left with one swift movement, leaving Jonathan embracing the air."Gigi…" The hoarse voice was laced with a hint of lust.The man tugged at the button of his collar as he approached Giselle once again. He was burning all over. It felt like he was being roasted from the inside. He was gradually losing his ability to think rationally.All he could see was the thin figure in front of him.Giselle was left speechless.They had cast a spell on this miserable man because they were not able to do it to her?There was no denying it.

    Angela, Finley, and Charlotte were rendered speechless.This explained why Giselle was able to make so many enemies. Just that mouth of hers could make people abhor her with a burning passion.What now? If Giselle did not go over, they would not be able to carry out their plan!The trio was beginning to grow anxious.Luckily enough, Giselle could sense their desperation. 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? I don't know what you're talking about…""Oh, really? Then expla

    The crowd was frantic.A tumult of screamings and shoutings bombarded their ears. Chester's voice was swallowed whole by the clamor of the crowd.Giselle moved forward with the flow of the crowd.There was only darkness ahead. Everyone skimmed the walls as they walked. There was a faint source of light in front of them.Before Giselle could even suppress her annoyance, a hand suddenly grabbed onto her wrist.The palm of this person's hand was slightly calloused. Her skin became a little sore from the slight abrasion.It was the hand of a woman.Giselle did not struggle against the woman grabbing her. Instead, she let her pull her forward.They were headed in the opposite direction from everybody else.During this time, Giselle had a sudden moment of clarity.The faint light allowed her to recognize the back and gait of the person in front of her. It revealed the fact that this woman was Angela.Still, Giselle remained unperturbed.As they went up the stairs, the noise and c

    "Mr. and Mrs. Stone, this is my sister, Lyla."Lyla tried her best to smile. In a very soft voice, she greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Stone."Jackie had notified his family members in advance. But now that the actual person was standing in front of them, both Eugene and Moira were surprisingly calm.In short, Lyla felt like a total stranger to them.On the other hand, Giselle seemed profoundly familiar.After having compared the two, both Eugene and Moira kept their true feelings concealed.The news of them finding their long-lost biological daughter had not been made public. They had initially planned to announce the news at the charity banquet.However, they were now having second thoughts."Let's talk about this again when your brother and the others arrive."Upon hearing these words, the smile on Holly's face visibly stiffened.

    When Giselle was kicked out of the Grants' house, she had nothing to her name.Now, she seemed to be shamelessly clinging onto Jonathan, someone who had everything. Charlotte hated Giselle's guts.How could she, after leaving the Lawsons' world in shambles, be living her best, carefree life?Giselle should be having the worst, most miserable life in the slums! She should be trampled underneath Charlotte's feet forever!In stark contrast to Charlotte's rage, Giselle was much calmer.Giselle looked askance at Charlotte. With a cold and calm demeanor, she said to Charlotte, "We'll see."With the three women embroiled in the same drama, she was curious to see what interesting events would unfold.Just like that, Giselle disappeared from their sight.Finley stared at Charlotte with disapproval and said, "Wasn't what you just said to Giselle an indirect reminder?"When they first met, she had thought that Charlotte was a smart person.

    As the head of the Lawson family, Jonathan found himself at the center of media attention, especially after Giselle and Chester's public display of intimacy at the gala. "Mr. Lawson, who is your date for tonight? Do you have any comments on your ex-fiancée, Ms. Stone?" "How do you feel about your ex and your uncle attending the gala together?" "Mr. Lawson, would you give them your blessings if they were to marry?" "Mr. Lawson…" The relentless questioning further agitated Jonathan, who was already in a foul mood. Just then, a photographer shoved a camera right in his face. Jonathan's eyes narrowed dangerously. He suddenly grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground.The reporters fell silent. Jonathan ignored their stares and strode into the venue, his eyes scanning the place for Giselle and Chester. Despite his search, he constantly found himself intercepted by others. …In a corner of the venue, Charlotte stood alone with a wine glass in hand. As the

    Giselle had only met a few members of the Stone family. The first was Harry. Despite meeting for the first time, it felt as if they had known each other for ages. 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?" They would know if Giselle was the long-lost daughter of the Stone family once the results came back. The daughter they had searched for all these years might have been right in front of them all along. Giselle remembered Harry saying that Lyla's DNA matched the Stone family's. But the documents Chester had shown her… Something was amiss. Lyla and Holly definitely had ulterior motives for infiltrating the Stone family. Thinking of Harry's smile, Giselle agreed to Che

    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. "Chet is unbelievable! He used his money to force me to act alongside him! Do I look like that kind of person?" Sam: "Did you take the money?"Harry: "Hmph! I maxed out my card.
