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

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
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 148
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 Sweetest Revenge Chapter 151
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 Sweetest Revenge Chapter 152
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

"I have some pain relief balm that could help with the pain, Mr. Fordham. Lie down. I'll help you apply it," Giselle offered.Chester wasn't surprised by the offer. He made a show of declining before finally agreeing reluctantly. Chester removed his jacket, leaving only a black shirt. His phone kept chiming with notifications, but he silenced it without a second thought. Whoever it was couldn't possibly be more important than this. He draped his jacket over the couch. Just as he sat down, Giselle returned with the pain relief balm that looked used."Mr. Fordham, this might be presumptuous, but you'll need to take your shirt off." Giselle tried her best to appear calm, convincing herself that it was her responsibility to apply the balm since she was the one who hurt him. Besides, they were both adults. With that thought in mind, Giselle calmed down."Alright." Chester nodded. He didn't hesitate and began unbuttoning his shirt right in front of Giselle. His fingers were lon

Charlotte still wasn't about to give up. However, Chester's patience had already run out. He suddenly stood up and strode toward her.Charlotte instinctively swallowed hard and stepped back. Her back hit the cold door, and her palms were slick with nervous sweat.She held her breath. "M-Mr. Fordham..."Chester extended his hand, voice sharp and commanding as he said, "Hand it over."Panic instantly surfaced on Charlotte's face. Her eyes darted around as she didn't dare meet his eyes.She tried to play dumb. "W-What do you mean?"Chester said flatly, "If you still want to survive in this city, I suggest you cooperate."The moment he finished speaking, that suffocating silence returned, cold and heavy.Charlotte's back was soaked in cold sweat. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.Chester caught every subtle expression on her face.Two minutes passed.Unfazed, Chester pulled out his phone and started dialing for someone."I-I'm sorry, Mr. Fordham!" Charlotte panicked and blur
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 368
"M-Mr. Fordham." Charlotte walked into Chester's office under immense pressure, careful with every step she took.Faced with the stunningly handsome man before her, there was not a single trace of desire in her eyes. Compared to Jonathan, Chester was far more terrifying.Yet, deep down, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Giselle.Why did Giselle get to enjoy such special treatment? She was just a fake heiress who had taken someone else's place!Charlotte often found her thoughts spiraling every night.Did Giselle pull a trick of some sort to steal her rightful place? Otherwise, how could she have screwed up so badly?Chester's cold gaze swept past her like she was barely worth looking at. It was as if even one glance in her direction would disgust him.Chester asked, "Do I know you?" His deep voice was full of impatience.Charlotte, trembling with fear, clenched her palms and forced a smile that looked worse than if she'd been crying."Mr. Fordham, I know it was you who tol

Polygamy wasn't allowed at all in Caldora."I know. We're not getting legally married, so it's not against the law.""Please, don't make things harder for Madam. Who could even give you advice on something like this?""Today's stream has really been an eye-opener.""If you want to be the first on the wedding night, couldn't you have discussed it with the other woman? Worst case, draw lots! If you're still unhappy, fight it out.""Where's the wedding tomorrow? I wanna watch the drama in person.""This stream's been recorded! If you just joined, check my page. Everyone has got to see this madness."Giselle's viewers were something else.Not only had they recorded the live stream in real time, but they also managed to piece together enough clues to figure out which hotel was booked for tomorrow's wedding.Giselle watched the flood of comments for a while.After a moment, she said, "Since you're already fine with two women sharing one husband, what difference does it make who's f
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 366
"Hi, Madam. I'm really troubled by something right now. My ex-husband is getting married tomorrow. I'm going to marry him alongside another woman. How do I ensure he chooses to spend the wedding night with me first?"The confused female voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.Everyone, including Giselle, was left dumbfounded. The live stream chat fell into dead silence.Moments later, it exploded with a flurry of activity."Wait, your ex-husband's getting married? You're marrying him alongside another woman? And you want to be the first to consummate the marriage?""Has the world gone completely mad? The only thing I haven't seen at this point is a ghost.""If this isn't scripted... Ma'am, you've got one hell of a mindset.""So, polygamy has made a comeback? Hey man, start a seminar. I'll listen to everything you say!""What kind of brainwashing is this? Madam, snap her out of it! Don't embarrass us women like this!""Some of us don't even have a wife, and this guy's marrying t

Chester looked into Giselle's eyes as he raised the corners of his lips slightly. "You're my wife. You can do whatever you want."After his last accident, he had taken advantage of the situation with Giselle under the pretext of amnesia. He would call her his "wife" or "Gigi" interchangeably.Until now, he had not had the time to come clean to her about this. Chester needed more time.Giselle was overwhelmed by the sudden profession of love.For some reason, her entire body suddenly felt warm. She looked away quickly, rolled down the car window, and let the wind blow upon her face. It was only then that her pounding heart settled into a calm rhythm.Chester caught everything from beside her.A trace of delight flashed across his eyes at the speed of light. When their gaze met again, however, it had disappeared without a trace.Chester decided to take it slow and easy.He straightened up and said, "A new restaurant recently opened in the suburbs. Should we go there for lunch?"

"You don't have to explain anything. Me and Jonathan? We're just aunt and nephew to each other."You're trying to ask him out, aren't you? When you finally win him over, don't forget to address me as Aunt Giselle, okay?"It was a soul-crushing blow.Giselle used their unique relationship as an opportunity to attack them without mercy!The greatest part about this was that they could not do anything to her.Charlotte's and Jonathan's expressions matched, which was a rare sight. Jonathan clenched his teeth in anger. His eyes hardened as he said, "Giselle, you're truly something else!"She knew to hit where it hurt. How did he not know that Giselle had this side to her?Giselle feigned humility. "You're too kind."The whole fiasco between the trio was becoming something of a movie to the passersby. Even when lunchtime was almost over, they were reluctant to leave.Some really were born with the talent to gossip.If they had to choose between money and gossip-worthy news, they

One could easily find Giselle's, Chester's, and Jonathan's names online through related keywords.The news came from an insider, so the credibility was 99.99%.The atmosphere between the two became heated.When Jonathan finally managed to suppress his negative emotions, Giselle's phone rang. Instantly, his heart skipped a beat. Alarm bells started to ring in his head.Sure enough…"I'm sorry, Chester. I forgot that you're no longer at Lawson Group."Giselle addressed Chester affectionately without any hesitation.She did this on purpose, of course.Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was so mad that he could even kill someone right now.But when Jonathan recalled his mother's admonition after his fight with Chester, he did his best to hold his anger back.From the phone, Chester could be heard saying, "Just stay there. I'll come over right now."When the call ended, Giselle could hear Jonathan's sneer. "Do you have to get on my nerves, Giselle?"His resentment was as cle

Jonathan was practically running on autopilot mode as his legs carried him toward Giselle.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for Chester's reply.All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a familiar voice that called, "Gigi."Both of them were good-looking people. Their standing side by side drew many people's attention.Passersby—including the employees—looked in their direction. They had even slowed down subconsciously as they walked by, just to catch a glimpse.Giselle's gaze went from casual to chilling in a split second.There was coldness hidden in her eyes, and a look of vexation settled on her face.Giselle took two steps away from him, putting some distance between them.Jonathan felt like someone was gripping his heart tight, making him feel suffocated.Dismay instantly replaced the feeling of excitement he had felt earlier. He stared at Giselle with woeful eyes. "Gigi…"Giselle did not buy into his words and pitiful act.She grunted. "Jonathan, is this h

An hour later, the car arrived at Lawson Group.The sky looked gray and hazy, while the air was hot.It was now lunchtime, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the building. Giselle texted Chester, letting him know that she had arrived.At the same time, Jonathan, in his sleep-deprived state, was staring at his phone. The expression on his face was so dark that Rick, his assistant, was trembling with fear when he came in to brief Jonathan on his schedule. He did not even dare to breathe."M-Mr. Lawson…""This had better be important!"Jonathan was like an explosive that could detonate any second.Rick gulped. "Mr. Lawson, I've notified the board that the meeting will be held at the conference room at 2:00 pm…"His voice trailed off at the end.With a loud bang, Jonathan threw his phone to the ground.When it crashed onto the floor, the screen shattered into pieces.That immediately shut Rick up.Ever since Jonathan had returned from the hospital, his temper had
