Chester stepped on Phil's right hand while the latter watched in horror. He forced the bloody palm onto the floor before grinding it.Phil's tortured cries filled the room, making the server outside shudder. He couldn't help thinking about how ruthless Chester was.Chester's eyes glinted maliciously behind his glasses. Phil's pleas fell on deaf ears. Even he couldn't bear to touch a hair on Giselle's head, yet a scumbag like Phil dared to covet her. The more Chester thought about it, the more intense his desire to murder became."I was wrong, Mr. Fordham! I-I had no idea Giselle was yours… Please, let me go!" If Phil had known about this, he wouldn't have dared do anything to Giselle. Heck, he would've gone for Emma instead of Giselle!His survival instinct won out over everything else, leaving him incapable of wondering what Chester and Giselle had to do with each other. All he knew was that he didn't want to die!"It looks like you don't need your mouth, either." Chester took of
Chester grabbed Giselle's roaming hands and forced her to face him. He asked, "Who am I, Gigi?"Who was he?Giselle was lost for a moment. Then, the heat took over her again. "Jonathan…"The rest of the sentence was incoherent, but mentioning that name itself was enough to make Chester's expression darken."…I'm so hot," she mumbled.If she hadn't brought up Jonathan's name, Chester would probably have been willing to help her cool down before they reached his villa. Now, however…He wrapped his coat around her again and had the driver turn the A/C to the lowest. "Hang on."The driver sped up; the amorous atmosphere had dissipated.Giselle felt tormented. She wanted to break free of Chester's hold but was too weak. Ultimately, she bit his arm, almost as if venting her frustration.He frowned, his expression grim. But when he looked at her face, he couldn't help softening. "Jonathan's unworthy of you, Gigi."…As soon as Chester and Giselle arrived at his villa, Hector, who w
Giselle's eyes glinted mockingly at Chester's question. She clutched her mug so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand protruded.To put it bluntly, Phil was one of Jonathan's lapdogs. He wanted to get in her pants but didn't have the nerve to do so. He wouldn't have dared to act like that last night without Jonathan's permission. It looked like Jonathan had ultimately acted ruthlessly to avenge Charlotte.Anger washed over Giselle. Chester took away her mug as she simmered. "You don't have to answer me if it's inconvenient, Ms. Stone."Giselle slowly calmed down at his words. She sat up in bed and searched for her phone, but it wasn't anywhere to be found. Chester saw what she wanted and handed it to her. His bodyguard had retrieved it and brought it over earlier in the morning while reporting to Chester.She thanked Chester before calling Emma. Emma only answered before the call cut off. She rasped, "Hello…""Where are you, Ems?" Giselle asked.Emma was a little slow on
At the moment, Giselle felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to melt into the ground.She knew that she had a bad habit of going around biting people whenever she got drunk. Although she had been drugged yesterday, she still bit Chester despite not being drunk. But she shouldn't have done anything worse, right?She didn't know, and she didn't want to know either. It would only be even more embarrassing for her if she knew.Chester was worried that he was making Giselle distressed, so he quickly left the room, letting her tidy herself up before coming out for lunch.As the door clicked shut behind her, Giselle belatedly had another dreadful thought.Who had been the one who changed her out of her clothes?…Half an hour later, Giselle bit the bullet and had lunch with Chester. After she was done with lunch, she decided to meet up with Emma.Chester sent her there since it was on his way. While Giselle was getting out of the car, he said, "Call me if you need anything."She n
After a few bouts of cold, freezing rain for the past few days, the temperature in Seaworth City suddenly rose exponentially. There were plenty of people at the hospital. Emma barged into Larry's ward with a thunderous expression. "Larry Barton, let me tell you that we are getting divorced whether you like it or not!"How dare he threaten her? Did he really think that she was so weak and spineless that he could walk all over her? Well, he was wrong!If she could turn back time, she really wanted to go back to that night and smash a few more beer bottles in his head.Larry leaned back in bed with his head still in bandages. He still had a carefree attitude until he heard what Emma said. Then, his face darkened.Giselle entered the ward a short while later. When Larry saw her, he got even angrier."Emma Jones! I knew that you were colluding with Giselle all along!" He was so angry that his voice trembled.Emma laughed coldly. "Don't spit accusations just for the sake of it. What,
After that, Giselle caught influenza A and was on the brink of death, yet Jonathan didn't even look like he cared.She figured that he must have stopped loving her then.The look in Giselle's eyes left a bad taste in Jonathan's mouth. He then said derisively, "You were the one who beat Larry up, so apologize to him this instant!"The whole ward went silent as soon as the words were out of Jonathan's mouth. Emma withdrew her hand on Larry's shoulder and hurried over toward Giselle. Frowning, she said, "Mr. Lawson, this has nothing to do with Gigi. She was only rightfully defending herself. Larry was the one who started it. If anybody were to apologize, it would be him."Larry was mad that Emma would stand up for someone else other than him. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.Jonathan's eyes were dark as he fixated them on Giselle's cold, pale face. "But she also hit Charlotte. Should she not apologize?"Emma smirked. So, he was just here to avenge Charlotte the bitch, wasn'
Lawson Manor was located in the busiest spot in Seaworth City. So, every inch of space taken up by the manor was worth a fortune, making it out of almost everyone's league.Right at that moment, the tension in the manor's living room was high. As soon as Jonathan walked in, a stack of papers was thrown in his face."Jonathan Lawson, get down on your knees!"Richard sat on the couch with his staff in his hand. His snowy-white hair was combed back impeccably, and his face was full of anger.Jonathan had no idea why. "Grandpa, what have I done wrong?""Has Gigi broken up with you?"Jonathan hadn't told Richard about the breakup. He thought that Giselle was just throwing a tantrum and would soon come begging to get back together with him. So, there had been no need for him to tell anyone about it.But now…Jonathan frowned. "Did Giselle tell you?"Jonathan's attitude only sent Richard into further depths of fury. Since he was so worked up, he held a hand to his chest and started c
Giselle had come to return Jonathan's black card. She had packed up and cleared out everything at home. She was planning to sell the condominium as soon as she found herself a place to stay.However, as soon as she set foot inside Lawson Manor, the first thing she heard was "I got bitten by a kitten."Who got bitten by a kitten?Giselle's brain malfunctioned for a short while before she finally understood what Chester had meant. Her gaze landed on the bite mark on Chester's arm. Then, she immediately flushed red.Seeing this, Jonathan understood everything at once. He was seething with rage. He glared angrily at Chester and gritted his teeth. "Uncle Chester, you already have a partner. Shouldn't you stay away from other women?"The last time he went to Chester's house, he'd hear a woman coughing and also saw the women's shoes at the door. Everything showed that Chester was not single.Chester clicked his tongue and looked at the furious Jonathan with a confused look. "Oh, so yo
It was merely a second ago when Giselle had told him to keep a distance from her, yet she was now in his car voluntarily.Jonathan did not move an inch. He still had his back against the inside of the car door as he faced Giselle, intently looking at her."Women are really fickle. Giselle must still have feelings for me. She's just too proud to admit it," he thought to himself.As for the rumors about her and Chester, they might just be putting on an act.Giselle did not know that Jonathan was in the process of gaslighting himself. When she noticed that he was not about to drive any time soon, she frowned and said, "If you're not going to drive, scram."Only then did Jonathan fix his position. He started the engine, and they headed for the hospital.At first, he was in a joyous mood. He tagged behind Giselle upon arrival at the hospital. It was not until he had reached a ward and saw who was seated on the hospital bed that his expression turned sullen.Giselle had gotten into
"When did Giselle become so… violent?" Jonathan pondered.What had she gone through in the past eight years?For once, Jonathan was perplexed. In his memories, Giselle and him were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Since kindergarten, they were always in the same class.As they began spending more time with each other, the budding romantic feelings gradually snuck up on him.In his mind, Giselle had always been someone demure and considerate. When had she ever shown him this violent side of her?There was one incident that left a deep impression in Jonathan's mind. It was during their senior year.Giselle had been picked on by people from other schools. The moment he heard about this, he became so furious that he stormed over to the other school right away to fight them.If Giselle had always been such a violent person, why was she even picked on in the first place?Jonathan stared at Giselle with deep contemplation.Giselle stared back at him. "Fancy getting your as
When Penny was done speaking, she directed her gaze toward Lana. "I guess it's time for you to look in the mirror and see for yourself how much of a slut you are!"Lana's makeup had melted off completely. The more she wiped her face, the more her makeup smudged, making her look like a comical clown.Her bare face was already on the less fortunate side. Some people were just ugly both on the outside and on the inside.Lana was livid. She shoved Zayn's hands away and immediately reached out, wanting to grab Penny by the face. "You're just jealous because Zayn likes me. Yeah, you're better than me in every way, but what's the use of that? The woman Zayn loves is me, not you."You got it right. I like going after men who are already taken, and Zayn knows this as well. It's precisely because of this that he asked you out!"I'm sure you don't know anything about this, but every penny that you gave him, he would use it to buy me gifts. On Valentine's Day, you failed to go on a date wit
Water was dripping from Giselle's face.Lana caught Giselle off guard, so the latter could not dodge in time.The fringe on Giselle's forehead was soaked. Strands of wet hair stuck to her porcelain white skin as water dripped down her face, falling onto the floor."I don't even know you, woman. What makes you think you have the right to slander me? Are you out of your mind?" Lana exclaimed in anger.Moira was sitting next to Giselle, so it was inevitable that some water got onto her.Without caring about herself, she quickly pulled a napkin out and wiped the water off Giselle's face. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.She was about to berate Lana when Giselle suddenly got up from her seat, filled the cup in front of her with water, and threw it at Lana's face.Lana screamed. With the racket she was making, the entire situation became chaotic.This particular moment happened to be captured by the local fans.The live stream chat box was in a frenzy, and the audience wished
Zayn had come with a business partner today. It was because of Penny that he asked said business partner to give him an extra 30 minutes. He needed to get some stuff sorted out. Only then would he sign the contract.Who knew Penny would just sit there and not say a word after having him come all the way?Didn't she say that she was going to shop for a house today?Why wasn't she saying anything?Zayn cracked open the cup's lid and handed it over to Penny. "Penny, didn't you ask me to come check out a house with you? When I came earlier, I noticed the door to the adjacent building was still open. Why don't we go there now?"Just like that, the flurry of comments started up again."They really have it all thought out. Shopping for a house? Why? So that you and your lover can pick one out together?""This cheap leech of a bastard! Those who're going in person, can you all give him a good beating? I need to vent or I might die of cardiac arrest.""What a shameless jerk!"The cha
These five minutes were unusually agonizing for the netizens who were waiting restlessly for the tea.At long last, footsteps could be heard approaching from behind. Penny clenched her fists tightly. She tried to calm her erratic heart that pounded against her chest.Her face was ashened."Penny, I'm here! Hey, why didn't you tell me you were bringing your friends along? I would've gotten two more cups of coffee."The bright cheerful voice of a man was approaching. Only when he had stepped in front of her did he realize that Penny had company. Next to her were two unfamiliar faces.One of them looked to be in her 30s. She exuded elegance and looked like someone of a prominent status.The other one looked like she was in her 20s and was really stunning.Amazement flashed across Zayn Carter's eyes before he quickly recomposed himself.While he was looking at Giselle and the others, they were also studying him.His eyebrows were well-defined, and he had broad shoulders and a sl
Moira's smile was gentle. Her gaze toward Giselle was filled with kindness.Giselle nodded. "That seems to be the case."The fact that they bumped into each other for such a specific event had to be fate. Because how else could one explain such a coincidence?While they waited for the adulterers to arrive, Giselle updated her status beforehand."This afternoon's drama. I'm catching adulterers in the wild"These nine words caused her viewership to skyrocket.Aside from money, the only other temptation that humans were not able to resist was gossip.Hidden within the depths of human nature was the desire to gossip. There was no reason for anyone to pass up on drama that was free of charge! Comments began pouring in. "Didn't even need to think twice to skip work. It's only $28 anyway. They can have it!""Catching a homewrecker on live stream? I bet there's going to be a LOT of people. I wonder if the server can handle it? I'm going to cry if it crashes.""Thank God for the co
Night soon fell. Once Giselle stepped out of the shower, she took a look at the posts Yvette uploaded.The most important aspect of content creation was grabbing people's attention. The content had to be sensational enough to generate traffic.Reality was often stranger and more mind-boggling than fiction.Giselle read them all and felt that every one of them could be made into a separate video. It was sure to rake in more views.It was at this moment that her phone vibrated. The screen lit up with a text message from an unknown number.At first, Giselle thought it was Jonathan again and was not planning on reading it. Nonetheless, she wanted to do it just for kicks so she ended up tapping on the notification.By the time she finished reading, she knew it was not from Jonathan.There was no text in the message.There was only a photo attached.Judging from the angle, it seemed like the photo had been taken in secret.Jonathan was in his hospital gown as he sat on the hospital
Giselle continued the live stream for another two hours before she ended the session.Yvette passed the notepad with the lady's contact over to Giselle. "Do I have to add her on WhatsApp?"Giselle shook her head. "Nope, I'll handle this. You can pack up and get off work now."After Yvette had left, Giselle ate some food before she added the lady to her WhatsApp contacts.Meanwhile, at the Stone residence, Moira was having a conversation with her niece."How's everything, Penny? Has the livestreamer agreed to go with you?The huge living room was brightly illuminated.The theme of the interior design was simple luxury, and the paintings on the walls were extremely tasteful.Moira sat on the couch as she held Penny Stone's hand. A look of concern was written all over Moira's face as she worried about Penny.Penny glanced at her phone. There was no new notification yet.She was feeling uneasy. Because of her boyfriend, she had not had proper sleep for two nights. Even if she did
