The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 145
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 Stone 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 hurried to the hotel where Wendy was staying. When she arrived, Emma was already there.Yarick was in Emma's arms, his eyes puffy from crying. The moment he saw Giselle, he struggled against Emma to get down. Emma set Yarick on the ground, and he immediately ran toward Giselle."Giselle." He looked up at her with teary eyes, "The bad guys hurt Mom."Half an hour earlier, a group of thugs had barged in and started smashing the room. In the chaos, Wendy was accidentally elbowed in the nose. She was now in the bathroom, trying to stop the bleeding.Emma had come by to speak to Wendy and learn more about her situation, only to witness the mayhem. Fortunately, she managed to snap a picture of one of the intruders.Giselle glanced at the photo and shook her head. "I don't recognize him." She bent down and picked up Yarick before giving him a piece of candy to comfort him.Yarick held the candy tightly and turned toward the bathroom. "Mom was hurt. I want to give the candy to

"Did you call? Sorry, I was so engrossed in talking to Gigi that I didn't notice." Caroline lied, of course.Chester cocked a brow at his parent's blatant lies, clearly unimpressed.Giselle reached out and rested her hand on the back of his cold hand.Chester stiffened. He quickly lowered his gaze, hiding the emotions in his eyes. "Why didn't you wear a coat before coming out?" Her usually calm voice carried a hint of reprimand toward Chester.Hector chimed in with a smirk. "Gigi, you need to talk some sense into Chet. I couldn't even catch up with him on the way here. Do you know how many people looked at him like he'd lost his mind?"Hector swore he wasn't exaggerating. It was like seeing someone wearing a winter coat in the middle of summer. It was completely out of place.Chester shot him a warning glare. But with Giselle around, Hector felt bold.Instead of arguing with him, Chester reluctantly pulled his hand away from Giselle's. "Don't touch me. My hands are cold.""S

When Charlotte returned to the Grant family, everyone found out that Giselle had been living a stolen life.Giselle enjoyed the wealth and privilege that never belonged to her for over 20 years. To the world, she was beyond guilty. Her former friends turned on her, and she became the butt of the joke. Giselle was an orphan who was deemed unworthy to be anywhere near them.If not for the fact that she was once Jonathan's fiancée, she would have suffered even worse.When Caroline asked about her parents, Giselle froze before regaining her composure."It doesn't matter anymore," she replied calmly. "I don't like wasting my time on meaningless things."Giselle never felt loved when she was with the Grant family. Harold and Linda must have known she wasn't their biological child, so they were never affectionate with Giselle.She had long since grown used to being on her own. What good would finding her biological parents do? If her real parents were happy in their current lives, her a

Finley forced a smile. She put down the bowl and then turned around to meet Chester's indifferent gaze."Ches—Mr. Fordham." She corrected herself in time.Finley knew Chester would go after her family if she called him by his name."I saw your parents taking Giselle away when I came over," Finley said. As she finished, she noticed a change in Chester's expression. Her heart tightened at the sight. She watched as Chester pulled the IV needle out of his hand and got out of bed. His recklessness stunned her.She trembled as she asked, "I'm curious, Mr. Fordham. What do you even like about Giselle?"She couldn't understand. Not now, not ever.Giselle was an orphan. How could she compare to her? Finley couldn't wrap her head around how she lost to someone like Giselle."Do you need a reason to like someone?" Chester didn't want to argue with her.His mind was plagued with worries about Giselle being mistreated by his parents. He called both of them, but neither answered. It felt l
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 230
Giselle was being herself and didn't try to be humble just because of who Caroline and Zachary were. Chester's parents exchanged pleased glances.If Chester really liked Giselle, they wouldn't mind having her around. After all, as parents, they wished to see their son have a successful career and a family of his own.Since they gave birth to Chester at an old age, he was able to have whatever he wanted while growing up. That said, they didn't know what went wrong as he turned out to be aloof. He would always keep his distance from everyone and never made his parents worry.The only thing they were worried about was his marriage. Chester was almost 30 years old now, but he had never been in a relationship. When they asked if he had anyone he liked, he would always say he wanted to focus on his career and work in the laboratory.When he graduated from university, he went to another country by himself. Throughout those years abroad, he almost never touched the Fordhams' assets. Ever

Finley knew Chester had serious germaphobia, and she wondered why he didn't find Giselle to be dirty and disgusting. She then thought about how traditional the Fordhams were and wondered if they really could accept a relationship like that.She wanted to see the Fordhams make things hard for Giselle. After all, Finley couldn't understand why someone who wasn't as impressive as her could easily get something she couldn't get her hands on. To her, Giselle wasn't worthy in the slightest."Zach, do you think Chester will be angry if we talk to Giselle ourselves?""Angry, huh? Even if he does get upset, he'll need to endure it! If he dares throw a tantrum, I'll give him a piece of my mind!"Zachary was a perfect example of a man who loved his wife too much. As long as Caroline was there, everyone else would have to keep their distance, even their children. If they hadn't gotten pregnant with Chester back then, Jean would've been the only child in their lives.Finley continued standin

The expression on Finley's face stiffened, and her pupils dilated immediately. Finley didn't expect to hear the name she hated the most from Caroline's mouth. After suffering multiple losses because of Giselle, Finley would react to her name by instinctively feeling disgusted.Finley suddenly looked pale and terrible, causing Caroline to gently ask, "What's wrong, Finley? Do you feel unwell?"Finley clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to take a deep breath. Then, she put on a fake relaxed smile and managed to look elegant. "I'm fine, Mrs. Fordham. I do have a friend who's quite close with Giselle."The unexpected answer made Caroline exchange glances with Zachary. "Oh?""But… I don't think that's true anymore. After all, they had a little conflict between them. If I talk about it, we might get too emotional."Finley was being smart about it, as she couldn't badmouth Giselle directly. If she wanted to do it, she would have to find a scapegoat. That way, if her plan failed
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 227
Giselle followed Hector outside the ward, and the nurse sensibly left them alone to check on the other patients.Hector then said, "Giselle, I have some relationship-related issues that I need to ask you about."It had been a month or two since they last talked about it, and it seemed to Giselle that his relationship with Julia had gotten worse. Julia had used up all of her leave days at the hospital, and her IP address showed that she was overseas.Hector felt frustrated because of it. If it weren't for Chester's accident, Hector wouldn't have returned to work so soon. Upon returning, he had to personally deal with all the work that had been piling up. Once he started getting busy, he couldn't even have a proper meal, let alone coax Julia.After hearing about his predicament, Giselle tried to find a suspicious loophole."When did you last see her?""It was around two weeks ago. I was drunk back then, and my friend called her for me so that she could pick me up."Hector tried hi

The next morning, Giselle headed to the hospital after she was done washing up. The scabs from her injuries were starting to fall off, and the stitches were breaking apart too. She was well on her way to a full recovery.As for Chester, most of his injuries were superficial. The worst injury he had was around his stomach. When the car flipped, a sharp object pierced into his flesh. Fortunately, it didn't injure any of his vital organs. If it had gone a little deeper, he wouldn't have survived.When Giselle arrived at the hospital, Jean was talking to Chester about Joshua. The police had interrogated Joshua the whole night, but he didn't reveal anything of importance. Instead, he kept insisting that he didn't know the driver and that he didn't hire anyone to attempt homicide.Chester had already expected Joshua to be this shameless. He leaned back against the hospital bed with a cold look on his pale face. Then, he lowered his gaze to cover the frustration in his eyes."He's not goi
