However, the man before her was Chester. Giselle looked straight into his eyes. He wasn't avoiding her gaze, so she figured he wasn't lying. With that, the last hint of frustration in her heart was gone completely.Chester stood up straight and opened the door like a gentleman. "It's cold outside, Ms. Stone. Why don't we talk in the car?"The backseat of the luxurious car was spacious, and he sat opposite her. He crossed his legs and had a thin laptop on his knees. After rubbing the bridge of his nose, he put his glasses back on. As the light from the laptop's screen reflected on his glasses, she couldn't see his eyes clearly.In an instant, all they could hear in the car were their quiet breaths and the keys clacking on Chester's laptop.Giselle couldn't help looking at him, and various weird thoughts came to her mind. She even started to think about some embarrassing things that she had tried so hard to forget. She hurriedly looked away and forced the memory out of her mind."
There was no emotion in Chester's deep voice. He looked out the window at a black Maybach that was stopped near them. The number plate of the car was special, and it showed how well-respected the person inside the car was. It was the car Jonathan drove around the most.Chester coldly looked away. He didn't care that Jonathan was there, nor did he wonder why his nephew was there at that hour.Meanwhile, Vivian and Jonathan were sitting side by side in the Maybach. Finley and Lindsay weren't around as they had gone their separate ways after leaving the restaurant.Vivian rubbed her eyes in a daze. When she realized they weren't at the Lawson residence, she asked while half-awake, "Jon, why are we here? Mom told us to be home early…"When she saw how cold Jonathan looked, she didn't know what was on his mind. He kept gazing darkly at the building their car was facing. Larry had told him that this was where Giselle was staying.If Jonathan remembered correctly, Chester had bought a un
Chester had been wearing the same clothes earlier, so Giselle was certain the photo wasn't taken in advance. He really had reached home. Upon realizing that, she couldn't help feeling stunned for a moment.She used to have a client whose husband was a capable man. They were in a long-distance relationship and would talk to each other every day. Even though they had been dating for two years, they still seemed deeply in love with each other.However, after looking into him, they realized the man she was with was actually just a man hired to talk to her. As for her actual boyfriend, he was busy cosying up to other women.Every photo and video she received were prepared in advance. The hired man would send them to her over the next month or two.If it weren't for a certain woman coming to her door one day, Giselle's client would still be in the dark until this day. Fortunately, she managed to cut her losses before they were married.Suddenly, Giselle received a message from Chester t
Giselle was inherently a gentle person, and she was friendly toward Wendy and Yarick. Sebastian suddenly felt as if he had caught a glimpse of the Giselle from the past. As he walked behind the others, he suddenly received a call and left in a hurry.Seeing this, the smile on Wendy's face slowly faded. "Gigi, can we talk in private somewhere?"…The nanny Sebastian had arranged for Yarick was currently taking care of the child. She took him to the nearby mall for some fun.Meanwhile, Giselle and Wendy arrived at a dessert shop that was decorated adorably. Usually, there would be a lot of patrons at the place. However, most people chose to stay home today because of the rain.Giselle and Wendy found a table in the corner, and the latter ordered two cups of hot chocolate. At first, they exchanged formalities and asked about each other's lives.Wendy didn't know much about what had happened while she was abroad. From what she could remember, Giselle and Jonathan were still in a re
Yarick had disappeared, and when Wendy heard the disastrous news, she panicked. She accidentally knocked her cup over, and the drink inside it spilled to the floor. Wendy couldn't be bothered to clean the mess up as she hurriedly ran out of the cafe.Giselle settled the bill before going after Wendy, whose heart went numb as she looked all over the place anxiously. Her body went cold, and she was getting dizzy. "Calm down, Wendy. Let's not panic. There are surveillance cameras all over the place, and I'm sure he wouldn't have gotten far in such a short amount of time." Giselle calmly analyzed the situation as she held Wendy's arm.Then, she used Wendy's phone to call Sebastian, telling him that his son had gone missing. She instructed him to have more people look for Yarick to increase the chances of finding the boy.As Giselle headed to the mall with Wendy in tow, the latter almost fainted. She did her best to keep herself conscious. When Giselle told her to get some rest, Wend
Linda gritted her teeth and glared at Giselle, demanding, "Giselle! Why are you here?"Giselle was used to being treated as such. She looked up at the Grants with a cold gaze and scoffed. "What's wrong? Does the mall belong to you? I suggest you don't go overboard."The Grants were absolutely disgusting, and the more infuriated they looked, the more satisfied Giselle was. Sebastian couldn't care less about Giselle at that moment. Instead, he frowned and looked straight at Wendy.He pointed at her and started scolding her right away. "Wendy, I was only gone for less than two hours, and I left Yarick in your care. Is this how you take care of our son?"Wendy was already on the verge of breaking down. After being scolded by her husband, she couldn't take it anymore. She looked at him with a disappointed gaze and felt weak. Giselle hurriedly held her arm to prevent her from falling to the ground."You were the one who hired the nanny. You also said I could have fun when I returned and
Giselle met Danny's gaze when she heard his name and figured he had to be Harry's second eldest brother.Meanwhile, Wendy looked at him with a hopeful gaze. It was as if she had just seen her savior."Detective Stone, you have to find my son. I'm begging you…" After she said that, she fell to her knees. Danny and Giselle each grabbed an arm respectively and helped her up."Madam, we will do our best to locate your son. Now, I have a question for you." Danny retracted his hand and looked solemn.Harold, who had been standing to the side, got closer to them as well. "What is it?""Have you, your husband, or any member of your family offended anyone in the past?"That question was critical. Before Danny arrived, he had already told someone to make a copy of the surveillance footage in the mall and send it to his phone.If Yarick had seen a stranger, he wouldn't have run toward the perpetrator with a smile. So, there was a high possibility that someone they knew was behind this.Wh
Time slowly ticked away, and soon another hour had passed. The longer it took for them to locate Yarick, the more danger he could be in.Danny frowned deeply and scanned the area. He was trying to figure out if there were any other places a person could hide or avoid the surveillance cameras to escape."Detective Stone." Suddenly, he heard a woman's cold voice and turned around."What is it?"The woman in front of him didn't have makeup on and had dark hair and fair skin. Although she was wearing normal-looking clothes, her elegance still far exceeded everyone else's. When the solemn Danny saw her, he instinctively became gentler. The man himself didn't seem to notice the subtle change in his demeanor."It might've been Anthony Grant who took Yarick away."Upon hearing the name, Harold's expression shifted immediately. He stormed toward her and reached out to push Giselle. However, Danny stepped forward and intimidated him into taking a step back like the coward that he was."
Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today. Videos from the live stream had gone viral.Obviously, it was not from her own live stream but a third party's.Her fans, who had gone down to the location, had captured everything on camera. There was an explosion of comments beneath related videos.One of the videos was of Jonathan. It had been edited to look like he was the hero coming to his damsel's rescue.With the accompaniment of some background
In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle. But if he was so madly in love with her, why did he cheat on her?And if he was not madly in love with her, then why had he not gotten over her yet?But wait. The reason he was still not over her was mainly due to t
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
