Chapter 173

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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

    Back then, Jonathan was a student who didn't care about his grades. He was smart, but he didn't put much effort into his studies and would always submit an empty sheet during exams.After that, Giselle started monitoring his studies. He figured it was the Lawsons who had arranged it. Whenever he encountered a question he didn't understand, she would patiently explain it to him over and over again.When Jonathan was young, he wouldn't lower his head in front of anyone. Giselle was the only one who could make him do that. Their past together felt sweet but distant. Although they were close, fate had other things in mind for them.Presently, Jonathan was in a daze. When he finally returned to his senses, the conference was over, and Giselle was no longer sitting next to him. Thus, he got up and exited the classroom.Vivian and the rest were waiting outside, and Finley took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Lawson, would you like to have a meal together?"Finley had dressed up beautifully f

    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

    "Mr. and Mrs. Stone, this is my sister, Lyla."Lyla tried her best to smile. In a very soft voice, she greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Stone."Jackie had notified his family members in advance. 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!"
