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
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
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
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
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-
Harry: "How'd you know that? Lyla will be using the guest room for the time being as her room's not quite ready yet."The paternity test results for Lyla and the Stones were already out. Logically speaking, Harry should be busy catching up on all the lost time with Lyla. However, for some reason, he just could not bring himself to do that.What's more, Harry would feel uncomfortable anytime he was with Lyla.Being the carefree person he was, Harry had never given much thought to these details. Ultimately, it all came down to the fact that they had hardly spent time together. As such, it was only natural for them to feel distant from each other.But Harry had forgotten something.He'd felt a strong sense of familiarity upon his first meeting with Giselle.Harry: "It's quite late now, so why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking about what happened with the Lawsons today?"The matter regarding Jonathan might not have been spread online, but those who went to the charity banq
Giselle had just come out of the bathroom when she received this text message.Her long black hair was wet, hanging behind her back as water droplets fell to the ground.The white bathrobe was loosely wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate, fair skin. Her skin was as white as snow, so much so that it was almost dazzling.Chester was asking her how she was planning to deal with Charlotte.Since laws had to be abided by, getting her killed was out of the question.Besides, Giselle did not think death was the best punishment.The most painful form of torture would be to reduce someone to a point where they begged to be killed.Charlotte had the privilege of enjoying a life of luxury and wealth for over two decades as the fake heiress of the Grant family.People often said that going from rags to riches was easy, but going from riches to rags was hard.There was no way the Grants would be able to make a comeback. Presently, they were inundated by a mountain of debt. If no
The feeling of wanting to escape but not being able to was agonizing.After a while, Angela mustered the courage and said in a trembling voice, "We live in a c-civil society. I could sue you. My husband's from the Lawson family. You can't afford to cross—""Your husband?" Jean could not help but interrupt when she heard those two words.The piercing cold glare in her sharp eyes was comparable to Chester's.There was no doubt that they were siblings."Angela, the divorce certificate hasn't been issued, which means he isn't your husband yet."Knowing Jean's personality, there was absolutely no chance she would get back together with Perry.But that did not stop her from feeling annoyed by Angela.Angela's face instantly turned pale. She bit the bullet and said, "Perry no longer loves you. There's no future for you two, even if you don't get a divorce.""If I don't get the divorce, you'll never be able to be his official wife."Jean hit where it hurt.She had always been strong
Everyone in the room tensed up upon the sudden mention of Giselle's name.Harry did not think much of it. "Giselle's super nice! The first time we met, she saved my life. If it wasn't for her, none of you would be able to see me today!"He might have exaggerated the story a little. Still, it was evident that Harry liked Giselle a lot.Eugene and Moira knew Harry well. He was a good judge of character. Anyone he claimed to be a good person would turn out to be as such.What's more, seeing Giselle for the first time gave them a sense of familiarity that could not be put into words.Those eyebrows were impeccably refined.It was certainly genetics at work.If not for Lyla and the paternity test report, they might have truly believed that Giselle was their actual child without hesitation.With her hands hidden behind her back, Holly secretly clenched her fists. For a moment, darkness flashed through that gentle expression of hers.It was not until she heard Jackie's voice next to
Charlotte even tried to act pitiful to gain Jonathan's sympathy.It was just too bad that Jonathan had already seen her for who she truly was.With the aphrodisiac taking over his entire body, Jonathan bit Charlotte's lips like an irrational beast.Charlotte kept fighting against him.With her airway cut off, Charlotte's face turned bright red. Just as her struggle against Jonathan was starting to wane, Jonathan suddenly got up and left her.Some of his sanity had returned. With a loud bang, Jonathan locked himself inside the bathroom.He turned on the faucet and let the ice cold water fill the bathtub. Then, he submerged himself into the water, trembling from head to toe.His palm had been cut open. Drops of blood that were eerily red swirled in the cold water.He could not touch Charlotte.Because Giselle would not want him then.Even though Jonathan was thinking rationally right now, the intense heat he was feeling inside his body had not been doused by the cold water.
Did Giselle just ask Charlotte to "do it"?Giselle was clearly trying to set up a trap for her!Although the proposal was enticing, Charlotte could not help but hesitate and feel wary because she had been ensnared in many compromising incidents before.She found it hard to believe that Giselle would be so magnanimous as to let her have Jonathan instead.It just seemed a little fishy!Before Charlotte could even say anything, Jonathan—with red-rimmed eyes and on the brink of losing his sanity—growled, "Get out! Touch me and you're dead!"Charlotte was stunned. She had never seen Jonathan like this before.Tears welled up in her eyes. "Jonathan…"As Charlotte cried his name out, she tentatively reached out to touch Jonathan on the arm. The moment her fingertip touched the corner of his shirt, he roared so loudly that Charlotte immediately shrunk back in fear."Get out!"Jonathan swept his arm across the table, sending everything crashing to the floor. He then staggered to get u
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 and her friends
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
