Chapter 144

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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

    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

    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

    Giselle's brow furrowed at the mention of Jonathan. But her expression soon smoothed out as she said, "So what if he's here? Maybe we'll get to watch a drama unfold."The relationship between Jonathan and Charlotte was far from genuine. At least Charlotte still had other men on the side.Just the other day, Giselle, Chester, and Hector spotted Charlotte pinned against a restaurant wall and kissed by another man. The figure and hairstyle of that man were nothing like Jonathan's.Still, Charlotte wasn't exactly cheating. After all, she and Jonathan weren't dating and were still in the talking phase.She got to enjoy the benefits of being a couple without taking responsibility. Even if there were other men in her life, Jonathan could only endure it, no matter how much it angered him.Charlotte hadn't noticed Giselle was also in the restaurant. She had on heavy makeup, and her hair cascaded over her shoulders. She looked completely different from last week.The members of the Grant f

    Charlotte immediately caught on. "Jonathan, Mr. Mandell is certainly trustworthy. Maybe we should give it more thought—"Before she could finish, Jonathan's cold gaze shifted to her. He narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Charlotte, are you familiar with Mr. Mandell?" …Cody returned to Maddie's side. With the promise of money from Charlotte, he generously ordered an extra dish. Maddie seemed distracted. Under the table, Cody nudged her, motioning for her to check her phone. He texted, "I ordered an extra dish for you because of your cousin. You know I don't like meat, so let's split the bill. You'll pay 70%, and I'll pay the remaining."Normally, Maddie would have agreed to such a deal. But ever since her bet with Giselle, a strange feeling stirred, leaving her restless and irritable. The meal felt tasteless. Giselle and Emma picked at their food, eating only a little. The rest was devoured by Cody.When he finally put down his spoon, he let out a loud burp."Is

    "Being blinded by love is a terrifying thing." As they got into the car, Emma couldn't help but express her thoughts. She considered herself to have been love-struck in the past. But it wasn't to Maddie's extent.Giselle nodded in agreement. However, neither had the right to criticize Maddie, especially not Giselle.Giselle had done far more foolish things than Maddie ever did when she was dating Jonathan. Her love-struck mindset, combined with her pushover personality, had made her an utter fool.That said, Jonathan was different. His appearance and abilities were flawless. But Cody? He was just living off of others. Dating a 21-year-old at the age of 30? That meant he was rejected by his peers. Maddie was too innocent and easily deceived. Emma drove Giselle home. Throughout the ride, Giselle was focused on replying to messages. Emma had calmed down by then. While waiting at a red light, she teased, "Giselle, are you chatting with Chester?"It was a casual guess, but

    The same could be said for all people in love.Giselle didn't respond.Emma continued, "Does your heart race when Chester touches you?"Giselle countered, "And what about when other men touch you? Does your heart race?""If it's someone I like, of course it races! But if you're talking about some random guy, they'd never even get the chance to make physical contact with me." Emma was adamant.She was the kind of person who knew exactly who she liked and who she didn't. It wouldn't bother her if she accidentally touched someone she didn't like. Instead, she would remain calm as if nothing happened.Giselle chose to stay silent. She couldn't possibly admit that she felt butterflies in her stomach whenever Chester touched her. It was too embarrassing, so she couldn't say that aloud.She decided it was best to keep it to herself.Giselle tried to change the topic, but Emma wasn't having any of it. The latter continued to dig into the matter.When the car stopped outside Giselle's

    The steady sound of footsteps behind her drew closer, and a dark shadow loomed over her.The moment the sound stopped, Giselle spun around and threw the person over her shoulder.A muffled groan escaped the man's lips. The motion-sensor light flickered off, then back on. Giselle was shocked to see who was lying on the floor. "Mr. Fordham?"She had planned to call the police. But who would have guessed that the intruder she thought was a criminal… would be Chester? Chester hadn't expected to experience an over-the-shoulder throw. He had to admit Giselle had incredible strength. And judging by the speed and the force behind the throw, an average man wouldn't have had time to react. Giselle quickly helped him up and apologized. "Mr. Fordham, I didn't know it was you..." She wouldn't have acted this way if she had known it was Chester."No need to apologize. Being vigilant is a good thing. It's my fault for scaring you." Chester was calm as always. His eyes landed on Gisell

    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

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. Things were not going according to plan.If she had it her way, the Stones would now be making the public announcement that Lyla was their eldest d

    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. However, as Finley got to know her better, she r

    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. Might as well take it if it's free!"
