The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 140
Giselle's gaze was calm as she wasn't expressing any emotion at all.Jonathan was speechless at that moment. As his phone's screen dimmed, his hands fell to his sides, and there was a complicated look on his dashing face. He never knew Giselle was living a life like that with the Grants.The Lawsons and the Grants decided that their children would get married because of their elders' intentions.To the outside world, the Grants were out of everyone's league. At first, Jonathan really didn't want to be with Giselle. He cared a lot about hierarchies and thought a person like Giselle wasn't worthy to be his fiancée at all. However, his feelings for her slowly changed without him knowing.They had always been classmates, from elementary school to university, and he started liking her at the beginning of high school. Back then, he was so deeply in love with her that he would do anything for her. However, did he really like her?If Giselle hadn't exposed the truth at that moment, he nev

Giselle was surprised by Charlotte's words. It seemed she was truly shaken this time.But Giselle didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. She remained silent and waited for Jonathan's reaction. After all, Charlotte was Jonathan's lover.Jonathan glanced at Charlotte and muttered, "Okay."In the next second, Charlotte suddenly closed her eyes and collapsed into his arms.It happened out of nowhere.Jonathan instinctively caught her. However, Giselle saw through Charlotte's act and sneered. "You're such a romantic, Mr. Lawson."Charlotte's gentle persona crumbled under the evidence Giselle released. But Jonathan's reactions showed where his loyalty lay.Giselle didn't feel the least bit upset."Giselle..." Jonathan called out, but Giselle didn't give him any chance to continue."Calling out your ex's name with your fiancée in your arms doesn't seem appropriate, right, Mr. Lawson?"Hurry and take Charlotte to the hospital or she might fall into a coma." Giselle was too sharp to

Knowing Sam, Chester gave him a warning look. Sam immediately raised his hands in surrender, his expression turning into one of helplessness.He had been skeptical of the rumors, but his doubt was dispelled after seeing it with his own eyes.It was obvious that Chester had fallen. Another henpecked husband would soon join their ranks."Hello, I'm Giselle," Giselle greeted confidently.A flicker of admiration crossed Sam's eyes."I'm Sam, Harry's third brother. Thank you for looking after my little brother. I'll treat you to a meal someday." Sam was always enthusiastic toward the people he respected.Moreover, he had investigated Giselle and wouldn't have let Harry interact with her if she was problematic.Harry just turned 18 this year. With five older brothers protecting him, he didn't need to worry about anything else, which only resulted in Harry's naivety.As the three chatted, Harry emerged from the interrogation room. He walked over to Giselle and scanned her from head to
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 143
The post that Giselle made was supported with evidence and easy to understand.Sam wondered if he was being overly sensitive. His gut feeling told him that the Grants treated Giselle the way they did because they had long known that Giselle wasn't their biological daughter.When he voiced his thoughts, Chester agreed with him. The two of them were clearly on the same page.Once they got into the car, Sam asked, "What are you planning to do to Jonathan?"Chester removed his glasses, his lashes hiding his vicious gaze. His voice was casual yet laced with murderous intent. "I won't let anyone get away with hurting Gigi."Sam clicked his tongue at Chester's protectiveness. "Imagine how heartbroken Finley would be if she knew you had this side to you."Finley was the Stone family's adopted daughter. She had admired Chester since she was a child.Back in their school days, she would often chase after him, but her efforts were always met with indifference.Because of this, Sam and his

Charlotte looked up at Sebastian. There was a trace of anxiety in her eyes, and her pale face looked tense."What's wrong, Lottie?" Even though Sebastian's resentment was building, he still spoke patiently to her."I don't mind you going to Giselle for help... After all, she's been with us for over 20 years. She was targeting me when she made the post. It was me who dragged the Lawson family down." Charlotte choked on her words."Sebastian, you have to believe me. I didn't hire anyone to curse her, nor did I interfere in her relationship with Jonathan. I was very grateful to Jonathan for helping me with my university tuition fee, and I never had any romantic feelings for him." Charlotte would never admit it even if she did.Sebastian petted her head. "Lottie, I believe you. It's our fault for not realizing we raised an ungrateful person. As for Jonathan, you need to pay more attention going forward. Don't worry about the rest of the Lawson family. No one can steal your title as lon

Emma had even thought of names for her future children. But reality hit her like a ton of bricks.Larry had a change of heart. He was keeping a college girl as his mistress and now treated Emma with indifference and impatience.Even the most passionate man would have a change of heart.Reaching out to Giselle was her way of giving Larry one last chance. Unfortunately, he didn't take it.Charlotte was merely the trigger. Her being beaten up was, in a way, undeserved. But Emma didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. None of them were good people anyway. She was simply delivering justice.Time had proven that she was in the right. She traded a scumbag for a good friend. It was worth it!The two walked into the restaurant. Emma scanned the room, her eyes landing on someone waving from a window-side table on the left."Emma!" The girl looked to be in her early 20s. She was pretty and smiled shyly.Emma introduced her to Giselle. Maddie Jones greeted her, "Hi, Giselle." The three
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 146
Maddie was stunned by the scolding. She sat there in a daze before she started tearing up.Still, Emma remained as tough as iron."Emma..." Maddie sobbed."Enough!" Emma huffed.Maddie's behavior was beyond absurd. It was as if going on a blind date had erased her common sense.Emma wouldn't have an issue with the relationship if both parties contributed equally. But Maddie was the only one spending money!"He has a mortgage and car loan. But what does that have to do with you, Maddie? Does he suddenly not have to pay them with you around? "Do you think he bought them for your sake? He bought them because he was planning to get married and had no choice but to buy them! He would've done the same to snag any girl!"Emma was fuming. Giselle placed her hand on Emma's back to soothe her. "Emma, you don't understand Cody. You'll definitely like him..." Maddie was still supportive of Cody.Emma laughed in disbelief. "Fine, then call him right now and tell him to come over. I
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 147
Cody added, "Maddie, this restaurant is expensive. If we don't control ourselves, we'll be eating bread for the rest of the month." Emma burst out laughing. "Who told you all girls need to diet? You're using my cousin's money! How dare you talk about her spending habits!" She bluntly made her stance, and the atmosphere grew awkward. "Emma..." Maddie murmured. Cody held Maddie's hand protectively. "Emma, I'm a straightforward guy. Feel free to correct me if I've misspoken. No need to beat around the bush.""Am I not blunt enough? You're a 30-year-old freeloader who still leeches off a 20-year-old." Emma couldn't understand it. How could Maddie's parents have introduced her to someone like this? She scrutinized him for ages but failed to spot a single redeeming quality. Giselle remained silent, her gaze fixed on Cody's face, observing his subtle shift in expression. She concluded that he was cunning and calculating.After all, a man who wanted to always split the bill

Jonathan called Chester by his first name. He was not even willing to address him with due respect.Jim sensed the gravity of the situation and immediately had the other officers leave the room, giving the two some privacy.With the sound of the door locking, the atmosphere in the entire room fell below freezing temperature.With tensions running high, nobody dared to even breathe.Jonathan stood in their way, his tall stature overwhelmingly intimidating.As he stood face to face with Chester, their imposing presence seemed to match evenly.Jonathan looked like fireballs were about to shoot out of his eyes while the latter's eyes were as calm as a still, bottomless abyss, ready to erase his opponent's existence without leaving so much as a single trace.Vivian was so overwhelmed that her tears wouldn't come. She was really afraid that Jonathan would beat Chester up.The current situation was way more serious than her writing a love letter to her classmate."Why should I give y

Jim handled everything professionally."Jon…" Vivian reached out, tugging at Jonathan's sleeve. "Don't let mom know. She's going to be so mad."Vivian knew Jean's temper all too well. If she had not been afraid of Jean finding out about her love letter to Harry, Vivian would not have made Jonathan come pick her up from school.But if Jonathan had not come, the consequent chain of events would not have happened.Jonathan exuded an intimidating energy as he remained silent.Meanwhile, Giselle wasn't the least bit bothered.Harry was the same. After all, he had only done what he did to stand up for Giselle. Even if his family members were to come bail him out, none of them would be mad at him."Ms. Stone."Jim turned toward Giselle and said, "You may have Mr. Fordham come get you."Mr. Fordham. Chester Fordham.Jonathan couldn't bear hearing this name.As soon as he heard this name, he would immediately recall the words Giselle said. "Well, obviously I'm after his body."Absol
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 341
She was after his body. Giselle was going after Chester for his body.Jonathan completely lost all of his sanity when he heard those words, delivering another blow to the board.He could not be bothered about the excruciating pain coming from his knuckles. Through gritted teeth, he demanded answers from Giselle."You've slept with Chester?"Before Giselle could even respond, Harry, who had just returned from retrieving his phone, ran over at full speed.Without any explanation whatsoever, he punched Jonathan in the face."Now that I'm here, don't even think about hurting Giselle!"As someone young, tall, and one who worked out daily, Harry's one punch broke the skin on the corner of Jonathan's mouth.The piercing pain made Jonathan give up all his reasoning.Immediately, the two men broke into a fight.Vivian scrambled to get up from the floor, looking miserable. She wanted to pull them apart but was afraid she might get injured in the process.As such, she just glared at Gi

When they were at the hospital the other day, Chester made Vivian feel awfully stressed. This uncle of hers was way too overprotective of Giselle.If Jonathan were to lay a finger on Giselle, Chester would definitely hunt him down. And when that time came, the fact that she twisted the truth would be revealed.Vivian gritted her teeth. The fear she felt outweighed her reasoning. Without a second thought, she rushed over."Jon, stop!"Vivian held onto Jonathan's arm. The blood vessels in his knuckles popped as he squeezed every word out with restraint. "Let go."This was the first time that Vivian had ever seen Jonathan like this. She clenched down on her molars and cried out, "No!"The siblings' double act was absolutely comedic in Giselle's eyes. She rubbed her wrist which had turned red from Jonathan's grip. Then, she turned on her heels, wanting to leave.Jonathan jerked free from Vivian's grasp, stretching out his hands as he tried to grab onto Giselle once again.However,

"Giselle, I need to ask you something."The two looked at each other. One had an indifferent expression while the other looked like they could barely tolerate this request.Giselle tried to free herself but her wrist remained firmly locked in his grip. The heat between them instinctively triggered a visceral sense of disgust in her.Her stomach churned violently, and her expression went dark. "Let go."Jonathan kept his stare on her with eyes that were deep and enigmatic. "If I don't—" Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly gasped in pain.Giselle did not care if she hurt him. She had swiftly raised her knee and went for his groin. Even though Jonathan reacted in time, she was too fast for him to avoid the blow entirely.The anger in his eyes surged. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Giselle Stone!"This "new" Giselle felt extremely foreign to Jonathan.The Giselle he remembered was someone gentle and caring. There was never a time she would be this violent.
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 338
The moment Giselle heard Jonathan call out her name in full, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Had he recovered his memories?Giselle scoffed. "Am I wrong? Mr. Kendrick is asking Harry to pretend that he has feelings for Vivian and to wait until the exams are over to talk about it. Isn't he asking the kid to lie?"Harry has made it crystal clear that he has no feelings for Vivian. A clear rejection is the best solution. You're afraid that Vivian's state of mind might be affected, but what about Harry's?"Every word was carefully chosen.Even though Greg did not explicitly say it, Giselle understood his underlying intention without misconstruing anything.Harry clapped his hands as sparkles danced around his eyes. "You got it! I don't like Vivian. I don't like her now and I certainly won't like her in the future!"Vivan was not his type to begin with. What's more, after learning about the things she had done to Giselle, the chances of him liking Vivian were even slimmer
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 337
Jonathan's towering figure emerged in the doorway.Instead of his usual formal suit, he was dressed in a hoodie and cropped pants.To put it simply, he looked like a mannequin. His handsome face was as cold as ice, making him look unapproachable. As his eyes swept across the room, he suddenly paused when his gaze fell upon Giselle.The hand by his side instinctively clenched. It seemed like he did not expect to find Giselle here.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was reminded of the ignored text and what Vivian had told him.He pursed his lips for a moment, forcing the words back down. "Now that we have everyone's guardians here, let's talk about what happened earlier today."Greg Kendrick, the homeroom teacher, pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat before continuing, "I understand how kids your age are going through a phase where you yearn for the opposite gender, but this is the time to be focusing on your studies. "The college entrance examinations

Even Hector was startled by the absurdity of his own thoughts. He did not dare to venture further.Chester texted back, "Though you won't, I will."The five words almost made Hector's jaw drop to the floor. Did Chester just say he would be the Stones' matrilocal son-in-law?Hector was wondering if he had read the text wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and found that the text remained unchanged.He immediately replied, "Chet, are you serious?"Unfortunately, Chester had already gone offline and did not reply to his last text message.…The next day, Giselle met up with several more candidates who came in for the job interview.During the last round of interviews, she had her eye on a 22-year-old candidate who was a young woman with a rounded face. She wore rectangular-framed glasses with her dark hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was a person of few words but did things quickly and efficiently. Her sparkling eyes looked full of vigor as well.These were the qualities Giselle
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 335
The temperature kept rising within that confined space.Giselle stared back at Chester with her big, doe eyes. They sparkled in the night, and her red lips were slightly parted, looking every bit an mesmerizing enchantress.Chester, who was already deeply in love with Giselle, found himself unable to resist it.His long lashes drooped, casting shadows over his eyes.The hand by his side curled up in restraint. His dark pupils were bottomless as he looked at her, much like the deep sea.Chester's voice was hoarse as he forced out, "What question?""How are you so confident that I am the Stone family's child?"He was even more sure of it than she was.The paternity test report had also stated that she had no blood relation to the Stone family. But Chester remained adamant that she was.Chester responded eloquently, "I trust my intuition."Their eyes locked mid-air. Hidden tensions simmered.A brief moment later, Giselle flashed a faint smile and arched a brow as she asked, "Bu
