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.

    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."

    The scene was a mess, and Danny's head was beginning to throb. He rubbed his temples and said coldly, "If you have family affairs to solve, please do it back home. The most important thing for us to do right now is to find the boy, and you're only delaying the search right now."After he said that, the Grants finally calmed down. Meanwhile, Harold was so angry that he couldn't stay there anymore. He had to verify something."Keep on searching. I'm heading to the washroom." He left right after he said that. In fact, he moved so quickly that it seemed like a monster was chasing after him.Linda got up from the ground with Charlotte's help. As she watched him leave, she thought about what Giselle had said about Anthony earlier. As if on cue, tears started rolling down her face."What have I done to deserve this?"Charlotte and Sebastian hurriedly comforted her. They didn't know what was going on between their parents. They only thought Harold and Linda were losing their minds over Ya

    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

    Giselle assumed Fred had seen her online. After all, her dispute with Charlotte had caused quite a stir on the internet and remained a trending topic for almost half a month. 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
