Chapter 172

Auteur: DuckDuckJoe
Jonathan stayed silent for a long while after hearing Jean's question. He didn't answer her until they entered the elevator together.

"Charlotte and I are just friends," he said solemnly. He had never thought about marrying Charlotte—even in the past. After learning what had happened, the chances of that happening were even slimmer.

"Friends, huh?" Jean frowned deeply when she heard that. "Do you really think you two are just acting like friends?"

She had personally seen how they interacted with each other many times. No matter how Jean looked at it, they definitely didn't seem like platonic friends. Instead, they looked more like a flirtatious couple.

Jonathan was already in the wrong for being so close to another woman when he had a fiancée. Could he still not understand the unspoken rules of a relationship when he was already in his 20s?

There was no way Jean would believe that. Surely he was pretending to be dumb while enjoying the thrill of flirting with someone else. With th

    Giselle ended the call right away, not giving Chester a chance to react. Her heart was still racing, and she only calmed down after she chugged a glass of water.Suddenly, she received a message from Chester."Rest early. Good night."That wasn't the first time he had wished her a good night. Still, it felt like it had been months since he started doing that. He would consistently send those two words to her every night without fail. At first, she chose to ignore him. However, she found herself replying to him once in a while."Good night."After putting her phone aside, she went to wash up. When Giselle returned, she noticed she had some missed calls. It was from the same number, and they had called her 15 times. She wanted to ignore it, but the number called again for the 16th time. So, Giselle answered it and put it on loudspeaker."Giselle." It was a familiar voice, and she froze while drying her hair. Suddenly, she realized who it was—Sebastian.Giselle had blocked his numb

    Soon, three days had passed.Giselle had just finished livestreaming. Just as she was going through some footage to find some editable clips, Harry came knocking on her door. He was in his school uniform and looked the picture of youth. However, he had a gloomy expression on his face."Giselle, you have to help me. If you don't, I might not be able to see the sun again. I'm sure you wouldn't want anything to happen to me, right?" He explained his predicament with exaggeration. Then, he put his hands together and looked at Giselle with a pleading gaze—almost like a pitiful puppy.Giselle tossed him an apple and asked, "Well, tell me what happened first.""I'm in 12th grade, right? There's a parent-teacher conference at school tomorrow. However, I did badly in my tests this time, so I'm scared to tell my parents about it."Everyone from the Stone family was intelligent, and Harry was no exception. However, when it came to his studies, he wasn't as quick on the uptake. Instead, he

    Jasmine had taken a picture in the exact same spot as Chester.When Harry visited Tony previously, he'd heard some gossip. One of them was how Jasmine liked Chester. Of course, Chester didn't reciprocate her feelings. As a matter of fact, she was basically harassing him.Harry thought she harbored wishful thinking for wanting someone out of her league. He wondered if she didn't realize that herself."Jasmine?" Giselle thought the name was familiar. After Harry explained who Jasmine was, Giselle finally recalled who she was. It was the lady who had spent millions to buy Giselle's apartment.Back then, Jasmine wanted to get closer to Chester by being his neighbor. Unexpectedly, he immediately sold his house when she bought the place. When she learned about it, Jasmine was infuriated.Harry chuckled. "Don't worry, Giselle. Chet will never like someone like her. She'll only make him hate her by being so clingy."In his opinion, Giselle was the only one who was worthy of being Chester

    When Harry last saw Finley, it was months ago.She had just returned to Seaworth City from abroad and said she was going to stay for good this time. Everyone knew the reason behind this decision. After all, it was no secret that she had feelings for Chester. Although she was already 26 years old, she still made herself available for him. Thus, she stood out among the women her age.The Stones had tried talking sense into her, telling her to like someone else and that she could never be with Chester. Alas, she had been trying to win his heart for ten years. If it were possible, he would've opened up to her already.While Harry was still covered in sweat and unsure of what to do, Finley had already spotted him. She raised her hand to wave at him."Harry!" He showed a hideous smile as he approached them awkwardly. Then, he stood next to Giselle and greeted Finley. "Hey, Finley…"Upon noticing a figure next to her, Giselle finally removed her earbuds. "Hey, Harry."She hadn't hea

    When Finley was gone, Harry finally let out a breath of relief."Giselle, she isn't my actual sister, and there's nothing special about our relationship."The conference hadn't officially started yet, so Harry brought Giselle on a tour of the school. As the main high school in Seaworth City, every facility there was top-notch. It was exactly how Giselle remembered it.At that moment, there were a lot of people in the field. Since classes were over, most Seaworth High students would gather there. Giselle stood by the entrance and stared at the field for a while before following Harry to their next location.They eventually arrived at a glass greenhouse with an open roof. There were various plants housed there, and it was built for students to take a rest.Harry said excitedly, "Giselle, it's incredibly comfortable to sleep here!""It sounds like you skip classes a lot by sleeping here." Giselle exposed his secrets immediately with one sentence, and he started blushing right away.

    Vivian and Jonathan were standing in the distance, and they both looked distracted."Jon, I told you not to come. After all, it's just a parent-teacher conference. You don't have to waste your time here." After saying that, Vivian pouted.Normally, she would hire someone to pretend to be her parent. Since she was the daughter of the great Lawson family, the teachers would turn a blind eye to it. However, to Vivian's surprise, Jonathan showed up today without an invitation.When he arrived at the school's entrance, he called her right away and told her to bring him inside. Thinking about how she was ranked second last in her test, she could feel her head throbbing.Vivian didn't like to study. Since her family had enough money for her to spend until the day she died, she didn't see why she had to study so hard. If she couldn't get into a good university in the country, she figured she could just pay to study abroad.As for her future career, she could just join Lawson Group and ask

    Finley was only being polite toward Giselle earlier for Harry's sake. In reality, she despised Giselle a lot. With a frown, she said to Giselle, "I'm warning you. Don't have any funny ideas about Harry. He's an innocent guy, and the Stone family is way out of your league."The last sentence was said with clear arrogance. Any typical person would've started losing confidence when they heard that. However, Giselle was no ordinary person either, and she shouldn't be treated as such.Facing such obvious discrimination, she smiled without any warmth in her eyes. She calmly said while spinning her pen, "Are they out of my league? By the way, do you know how passionate Harry is when it comes to me? He would talk to me every day and share everything about his day."The more Giselle spoke, the darker Finley's face became. Although Finley had known Harry longer, she had never experienced any of the things Giselle just mentioned! Even though they weren't blood-related, Finley was still Harry

    At that moment, Harry thought there was something wrong with Vivian. After all, that was how he had always talked to her. He didn't understand what she meant by someone talking behind her back. It seemed to him that she was feeling a little too confident about herself.He would never sugarcoat his words, so he scolded her right away. "Vivian, can you stop thinking so highly of yourself? Who would have the time to talk behind your back? Do you think everyone is as toxic as you are?"They were both in the same class. The girls would always gossip, so it was common to hear snippets of it between lessons. Vivian's seat was right next to his, and she would always talk about other people.For example, she would instigate talk about how other students were dating or how many children their teachers had. Harry would feel bored every time she started yammering away.Vivian's face instantly turned pale. She couldn't believe he would call her toxic when she was only trying to get his attent
