Chapter 123

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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 calmly spun the pen in her hand. The light shining from the side highlighted her fair skin beautifully. Those who were attracted to her beautiful hand were incredibly pleased by what they were seeing."How else would I view it? By relaxing in my chair, of course," she answered.With that, the comments became lively again."Well, that was anticlimactic.""Madam, since there's nothing else for you to do now, why don't you analyze those two people's personalities?""I have a feeling that something fishy is going on. Everyone knows that Charlotte has the Grants supporting her."Giselle wasn't planning on going into the details. She had been feeding the flame for three days and had gathered a lot of evidence.She didn't even have to guess how smug the Grants were at that very moment. She wanted them to feel arrogant for the time being. That way, their fall from grace would have a greater impact later.Once Giselle became ruthless, no one could stand in her way."If you real

    Prejudice aside, Jonathan thought Chester was way out of Giselle's league. After all, she was beautiful but didn't have a matching identity. So, even if he saw them kissing, he still thought it was only a fluke.Jonathan thought that Giselle was doing this to piss him off. After all, she was so deeply in love with him. Thus, he didn't see how she could fall in love with someone else in such a short time.It also didn't seem like Chester was being sincere toward her. When they were studying, Chester would get revenge for her whenever she was bullied. However, he wasn't doing anything about her being bullied online at that moment. It proved to Jonathan that Chester was just messing around with Giselle!The more Jonathan thought about it, the more it made sense to him.He held his phone and quietly waited for Giselle's response. Just then, Rick entered the room. "Mr. Lawson, you have an online meeting in ten minutes. Would you like to get ready in the meeting room now?"A few minutes

    Every action had its consequences, and everyone had to be responsible for their own words. That was what Giselle had always believed in.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Harry dropping in with a bunch of snacks. After they got along for some time, she grew familiar with his enthusiasm."Giselle, we shouldn't spend so much time on the internet. Let's play some games together!"His eyes shone brightly all the time, and Giselle would always think of him as a golden retriever. It was hard for her to reject his invitation whenever he looked at her like that.So, she logged back into the old gaming account that she hadn't touched in a long while. When she looked at her familiar in-game name, she suddenly had a realization.The game was popular when she was in high school. When she played it with Jonathan, they changed their names in the game to be matching. With that, they showed everyone they were a couple. Since he was always on the offense, she gave up on farming monsters to suppo

    Vivan's long hair was pinned on the back of her head with a clip. There was some loose hair hanging by her ears, hiding the shape of her face. Her facial features were well-defined, and she looked elegantly aloof.She exchanged gazes with Giselle, and the latter smirked with her eyebrows lifted.Vivian clenched her fists. Since Harry was there, she said with a fake smile, "I'm sorry, Giselle. I've reserved the whole place to myself today, so outsiders aren't allowed here."After saying that, she shot a glance at the waiters next to them, hinting at them to chase Giselle out immediately. However, just as they took a step, Harry said, "Vivian, I was the one who invited Giselle here. Are you meeting someone else? In that case, I shan't disturb you any further."He was a straightforward man like that. Up until that point, Harry still hadn't figured out that Vivian wanted to have a private meal with him, and the homework was just an excuse.Meanwhile, Vivian was too focused on the firs

    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

    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

    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.

Being merciful, she said, "I mean, I won't go with you unless…"She was undoubtedly baiting them.

"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.

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. "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.
