"I have decided. I will not be going even with Cody anymore. I'll be the one to shoulder all our living expenses.

"His money will be used to pay off the mortgage and the car, while the rest will be saved for the wedding."

Maddie appeared determined as she came to this conclusion. Not a single word was said in jest.

Giselle forced an affectatious smile and said, "It's such a waste."

"What is?" Maddie asked.

Giselle answered, "It's such a waste that I'm not a man, or I'd be the first one in line fighting to ask you out."

Maddie smiled bashfully and said, "Stop teasing me, Giselle."

Giselle was lost for words.

All hope was gone. There was no cure for Maddie anymore. She could not even tell when someone was being sarcastic.

Giselle had her fair share of meeting people like Maddie before. Those who heeded her advice had a happy ending. As for those who ignored her advice, all they could do in the end was cry in regret.

The girl sitting in front of her was stubborn beyond salvation

    "A reasonable amount of help is fine. But don't you see that you're like a walking ATM to him? What has he given you in this relationship?"Giselle bombarded her with multiple questions at once, leaving Maddie stunned for a moment, unable to answer her.Giselle continued, "You can take your time to answer my question. Text him now and ask him what his plans are for the evening."Maddie followed her orders without question.Two minutes later, she lifted her head and said, "Cody said he'll be out drinking with Mr. Lawson and some clients at the nightclub down at the city center."He had even mentioned the location. It was apparent that he did this to lower Maddie's suspicion. At 30 years old, he really was a seasoned veteran.But Giselle could see through his act. In that instance, Giselle locked eyes with Maddie. With quiet resolution in her eyes, she said, "Maddie, come with me somewhere tonight."…It was nightfall, and neon lights began flashing in the city center. There was

    The woman's voice was full of surprise.She stopped Maddie, who was making her way toward Cody's room. The woman looked around but did not find anyone else.Maddie seemed to be out of it. She was in a dejected state. Streaks of tears that had not dried up yet were imprinted on her face. With bloodshot eyes and a faltering voice, she lamented, "Charlotte, C-Cody's cheating on me…"Just the evening before, he was holding her in his arms and gently singing promises to her, saying that he would treat her well forever. He had also said that she just had to wait for him to earn enough to give her a grand wedding and bring her home as his wife.But now, he was inside the private room, fooling around with escort girls.Maddie might be naive, but that did not mean she knew nothing at all.Charlotte cursed Cody inwardly, but she did not want to stick her nose into their business. After all, Jonathan was still waiting for her in room 4006!She straightened her white shawl and tucked he

    Sick and tired of listening to her insufferable yapping, Giselle grabbed Maddie's wrist, pushed Charlotte aside, and walked forward.Charlotte's face was contorted with rage when she saw how arrogant Giselle was being.Even though Charlotte was boiling on the inside, she did not go after them.Once she saw Giselle open the door of the room Cody was in, she scurried into the adjacent room 4006.With the door closed, they were sealed away from everything that was happening outside.The dim light in the room dampened the blazing fire inside her. Restlessness soon began taking hold of her.It was Charlotte who contacted Cody this evening. She was the one who had set everything up.Considering the current situation the Grants were going through, she could no longer afford to wait until the end of the year for the engagement.The engagement date was just too far away. There were too many variables at play. If Jonathan happened to change his mind down the road, what would become of he

    Concurrently, Giselle had kicked the door of the adjacent room wide open. At that exact moment, Cody had a woman in each of his arms.Maddie was livid, her entire body trembling with fury.Giselle stood behind her so that she could catch Maddie if she collapsed from shock."M-Maddie…" The colors drained from Cody's face. He unknowingly pushed the women in his embrace away, eager to rush over and explain himself.In a hurry, he knocked the glasses off the table.Maddie cried out, "Don't come near me!"The entire time she walked down the hallway, she had wished that everything was a misunderstanding. That Cody had only hired those ladies for entertaining the guests, and that he would not be touching any of them.But reality dealt her a heavy blow.Cody was the only man inside the room. And there was not only one but two women in his embrace!Maddie broke down. No longer able to hold herself back, she began crying like a broken faucet. Her sobs became more and more rapid. She lif

    With the inclusion of this relationship, Maddie had only been in a relationship twice.The first relationship ended because her ex-boyfriend cheated on her.She had thought that history would not repeat itself. Who knew that it would be a double blow instead?Cody used work as a cover-up to fool around with escort girls for his personal entertainment.How revolting.How truly repulsive!Maddie's stomach churned terribly. She bent over and began dry heaving.Cody lifted his hand, wanting to go over and hold her up, but Giselle's quick hands immediately slapped his hand away.The man yelped in pain as he retracted his hand in pain."What the fuck?"Giselle shot him a glare. She wanted to let him know the pain.Jonathan began piecing things together.His interim assistant had hired escort girls under the guise of work so he could fool around behind his girlfriend's back. And now that he got caught red-handed, he was pinning it all on Jonathan.Jonathan let out a snicker bef

    Just as Jonathan raised his arms, Giselle delivered a nimble roundhouse kick, effectively hitting him on the forearm.The cry of pain filled the air as Cody failed to brake in time, the glass shard clutched in his hand slicing into Jonathan's shoulder.The blood gradually dyed his shirt in crimson. Jonathan's complexion turned somber and pale."M-Mr. Lawson…"Cody was so petrified that he began trembling, "I-I didn't mean to hurt you. It's not my fault. It's all this bitch's fault!"He really was a professional in shifting the blame onto someone else. Giselle snickered. "Right, right. I used my psychokinetic abilities and mind-controlled you to attack Jonathan."She realized at that moment that she really had the talent for being a scapegoat.Giselle could not help but doubt herself. Did she really look like a pushover?People were always making her their scapegoat, and they always made it look so real. They were always so sure that she was a pushover who would not fight back

    It was not until he got hit in the face with an object that his mind snapped back to reality.The object that Maddie threw at him appeared to be a crystal bracelet.Cody had gotten the cheap beads off of Wish. It only cost him a few pennies for a huge bag of beads.He had made it himself, so it was, in a sense, the only one in the entire world. Still, Maddie never regarded it as something cheap and worthless. In contrast, she had always worn it as if it was made of precious gemstone.Cody started to become worried."Maddie—""Cody, let's break up."Maddie was so heartbroken that she could feel the air being sucked out of her lungs. Her tears had already dried up. Her breathing was rapid, as evidenced by the tremors in her voice.Despite the pain she was feeling, she was resolute. Her boyfriend had severely overstepped the boundaries she had set. She could no longer tolerate it anymore.Even if she still loved him a lot, she no longer wanted to keep this relationship.Cody w

    The phone rang for more than ten seconds before Giselle finally answered.As the screen flashed open, the enlarged face of a gorgeous man appeared on her phone.The image was a little shaky. Chester had switched to the rear camera.Giselle was puzzled for a second.She stared at the screen, bemused. She had no idea why Chester raised his hand and walked around the room.She was waiting for him to explain.Eventually, he showed her every nook and cranny of the room, including the bottom of the bed, the wardrobe, and other inconspicuous areas as well.Five minutes later, Chester switched it back to the front camera again.He raised the phone with one hand while the other went to loosen his tie.Those exquisite hands of his were like finely carved works of art."I'm here alone. There's no one else here."That deep and hypnotic voice of his flowed out of the speaker.Giselle became slightly startled. It took a moment for her to realize that Chester was giving her a report.But

    After Sebastian finished shouting, the entire hall fell silent.What did he just say? That the reason Wendy wanted a divorce from him was to go look for the man from that night?Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief. "A man?"Sebastian was her first love. Throughout the past 20 years, Sebastian was the only man for her. How could he say that she had some other man? This was a great insult to her!With a loud smack, Sebastian was slapped across the cheek.This blow had unintentionally dragged him back to his senses. As he watched the tears falling incessantly down his wife's cheeks, panic took over him.Sebastian loosened himself from the grip of the two policemen who were restraining him and hurriedly reached out, wanting to hold Wendy in his arms.

Please hear me out…"Yarick did not understand what had just happened. All he knew was that his parents

    Anthony had to have done this to avenge Wendy. The relationship between the two was a mystery to Giselle. However, she could not speculate. Otherwise, it would reflect poorly on Wendy."You're just an outsider, Giselle. This has nothing to do with you!"What happened did not matter to Sebastian. Giselle simply had no right to stick her nose into their business.Giselle was not upset at all. She clicked her tongue twice before saying, "Did I say anything? Stop being so desperate! Why? Do you see yourself as a coward as well?"Sebastian did not hold back as he yelled, "Giselle Stone!"Jim was the first to chide him. "Mr. Grant, this is the police station. Do mind your volume!"It could be said that they favored Giselle. How dare Sebastian yell at the apple of their eye? Now they had no choice but to use their power on him.Sebastian's frustration only deepened, and his expression became dark. He clenched his fists tightly as he tried to control his anger.Meanwhile, Wendy went

It wouldn't be surprising if Fred had come across it.Fred shook his head. "I can't tell you."He knew Chester would be offended if he spilled the beans.Giselle was confused. Why couldn't he tell her? Was it too awkward to explain?Fred kept quiet, and Giselle didn't press him further. She was here to gather information about Anthony, after all. Once that was done, she didn't intend to linger and interrupt the father-son reunion.As she left the office, she found Danny still waiting outside. "Detective Stone." Danny turned to her.

    Sebastian was nothing but a coward.Emma despised men like him the most. Who was he planning to protect if he couldn't even protect his wife and child? They sneered at Sebastian.Just as Wendy was about to call the police, her phone rang."Hello, is this Ms. Scott? This is the Seaworth Police Department. Mr. Grant has been arrested as a suspect for assault," said the caller.Mr. Grant? Wendy was confused about who the officer was referring to. Sebastian was with her, so who could this "Mr. Grant" be? Only Giselle figured out who it was. After the call ended, Giselle said, "It's Anthony."Sebastian knew who Anthony was. For the past two weeks, their household had been filled with Harold and Linda's constant arguments.Anthony's name kept coming up in their disputes, as Linda was sure Anthony was Harold's illegitimate son. She also warned Sebastian to watch out for the man.Anthony wasn't just here to meddle. He was here to fight for the family inheritance.If he was Harold

    Yarick drank his orange juice, the corners of his mouth stained with ketchup.Hearing Giselle's question, he thought carefully for a moment. "Dad is nice to me."Just as Giselle and Emma thought they were overthinking, Yarick added, "Dad buys me whatever I want. But he never hugs or kisses me unless I ask him to. Mom says it's because Dad is too tired."Never initiating affection. That was weird. But why exactly…Giselle felt she needed to investigate this further. She checked her watch and decided it was time to take Yarick back to the hotel.When they returned, the argument between Wendy and Sebastian seemed to have ended.Sebastian was stood by the window, smoking a cigarette, while Wendy sat on the couch, holding back tears.Seeing Yarick come back, Wendy forced a smile. "Yarick, you're back? Come here."Yarick instinctively sensed Wendy's sadness. He nestled in her arms, rubbing his cheek against hers, showing a sensitive side beyond his age. He was a sweet child.

    Children had incredibly sharp memories. By the age of three or four, they could already remember certain events.Yarick was now five years old. Although he seemed cheerful and lively, he kept many thoughts to himself.As they walked to the elevator, Yarick wiggled in Giselle's arms. "You can put me down. I'm heavy."Giselle told him he wasn't heavy but still respected his wishes and gently put him down.Holding his hands on either side, Giselle and Emma walked alongside him. Yarick kept his head lowered, his sadness written plainly on his face.Once out of the elevator, Yarick looked up at Giselle. "Giselle, are Dad and Mom fighting because of me?"Judging from the question, it was clear that Sebastian and Wendy had frequently quarreled even while they were abroad.Emma and Giselle exchanged glances before they began comforting him."Yarick, you're such a sweet boy! Your parents love you so much. There's no way they would fight because of you. Don't overthink it. Come on, we'll

    The familiar voice and tone—it was Anthony. Giselle calmly ended the call, logged into her email, and found the email Anthony sent. She tentatively opened it. At the top of the email was a photo. After skimming through the text below, Giselle quickly understood the situation."What is it, Gigi?" Emma asked curiously.Giselle handed her phone over. "It seems to be information about the thugs from earlier."But how did Anthony have this information? The question lingered until Sebastian arrived, breaking the tense silence."Wendy! Are you alright? Were you hurt? How's Yarick?" Sebastian looked disheveled, his face tinged with worry. He grabbed Wendy by the shoulders, scanning her and the surroundings.However, his expression darkened when he saw Giselle."What are you doing here?" His accusatory tone angered everyone present. Wendy tried to hold herself back but failed. "Sebastian Grant! Giselle is my friend. Watch your tone!"Giselle had gone from being Wendy's sister-in-

    "Why not?" Giselle frowned.She looked at Wendy seriously. "This isn't about you or Yarick. You and Sebastian aren't divorced yet, so he's still your husband and Yarick's father. You've been hurt, and he has the right to know and resolve this issue."Even if they were divorced, Sebastian was still responsible. He was the one who offended these people. Why should his wife and child pay the price? This was ridiculous.Wendy fell silent. Her hands fidgeted as she struggled with her thoughts. After a moment, she accepted Giselle's suggestions. Under the watchful eyes of both Giselle and Emma, Wendy called Sebastian for the first time in days.The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Sebastian's stern voice soon came through. "Have you changed your mind?"Sebastian believed Wendy was just throwing a tantrum by staying outside. On top of that, his work had been keeping him busy, leaving him with no time to coax her.Charlotte had warned him to not coddle women or they would b

    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
