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!

    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

    Giselle had used up a majority of her savings in her past relationship.As of now, the only money she had to her name was whatever payment Emma had settled. So, Giselle was going to have to spend frugally before she found herself a stable job.Land was precious in Seaworth City, so it was only natural that it was a very expensive place to rent. Also, Chester came from a wealthy background. Whatever friends he had would have to be from the same level as he was.Giselle could sense something fishy from the get-go. Without even looking at the rental price, it didn't make sense that wealthy people like Chester's friend would want to rent their places out."It's a seaside villa. The rental is 300 dollars a month."Giselle was speechless. She was now more sure than ever that something fishy was going on.How could a seaside villa only be rented out for 300 dollars a month? Did Chester think she was just born yesterday?300 dollars wouldn't even get her a grass hut in Seaworth City.A

    "Hi, do you have any candles?"Under the bright light, the teenager stood tall with a healthy complexion. Even though his features were still youthful and soft, there were already hints of captivating charm.His dark eyes carried a faint uneasiness, and his tightly clenched fingers had turned pale.Giselle retracted her scrutinizing gaze. "The property management is staffed 24/7. You can just call them if there's a power outage."Faced with a male stranger knocking on her door late at night, Giselle remained highly vigilant.Then, she stepped back. She was about to close the door when the boy suddenly fell forward with a loud thud, landing flat on his face.Giselle was shocked. Was her new neighbor trying to scam her?She called for an ambulance and crouched down to turn him over, bending her finger to check if he was breathing. There was a faint, warm flow. He was alive.Giselle let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the doorframe, waiting for the ambulance. After som

    "It has nothing to do with Lottie." Jonathan finally said.He downed drink after drink, his dark and oppressive demeanor making it impossible for anyone to provoke him.Oddly enough, he felt that it was a little quieter than when he was alone despite the crowded setting.Larry drank a few glasses with him. Then, out of nowhere, he heard Jonathan ask, "Larry, what would you do if your ex got together with your uncle?"Larry's brain didn't process the question. Ex? Uncle? Together?"Jon, you must be drunk. What kind of nonsense are you saying…""Answer me." The commanding tone swallowed the rest of Larry's words."If my ex got together with my uncle? I would probably laugh my head off."My uncle is a gambler and a womanizer. If she chooses him, isn't that just self-torture? If my ex found someone worse than me, I would joke about it for the rest of my life."…Meanwhile, Emma transferred the one thousand dollars to Giselle's account.Then, she texted Giselle. "Gigi, that was b

    Giselle remained expressionless, though she felt the urge to laugh.Then, she typed a reply. "You already said she's your ex. Whoever she's with now has nothing to do with you. So, I suggest you mind your own business."Yesterday, in the Lawson family's wine cellar, she had used Chester to ruthlessly provoke Jonathan. She even boldly declared she'd make him call her Aunt Giselle.For someone as prideful as Jonathan, such humiliation was unbearable. He was so furious he skipped dinner entirely.Later, without consulting Richard or anyone else, he impulsively decided to get engaged to Charlotte. Of course, there was an element of spite involved."She can't be with my uncle!"The thought of meeting her in the future and being forced to call his ex his aunt made Jonathan feel suffocated.The image of Giselle kissing Chester remained vivid in his mind.How bad was it? It made him dream of the two kissing right in front of him at night. And after the kiss, they interlocked their fing

    Everyone understood the words, but somehow, when strung together, they didn't make sense anymore."Did he save your life or something?" This was the phrase Giselle had asked repeatedly.She swallowed her frustration at the caller's naive words before saying, "He went out with another woman before breaking up with you. It shows that he clearly didn't respect you or value your feelings. If he truly loved you, he would have respected you and upheld the boundaries of a relationship."The commenters instantly agreed with her. "Madam is absolutely right. Don't be foolish, girl. We don't need useless men.""While you're here moping around, he's already enjoying himself with someone new.""No need to win him back. There are plenty of men out there. DM me, and I'll introduce you to some hot guys!"The woman in the call started crying. "But I really like him…""Liking him alone isn't enough. If you lower yourself to beg for reconciliation, you're just degrading yourself," said Giselle.

    Giselle, Chester, and Hector were on the second floor of the restaurant.Following Hector's gaze downward, they spotted a woman who looked strikingly similar to Charlotte. She was being forcefully kissed by a man against the wall near the first-floor restroom.Giselle glanced at the scene briefly before withdrawing her gaze. "It is Charlotte."Giselle could recognize the woman who had disgusted her for years, even if she turned to ashes.Hector grew intrigued and clicked his tongue before adding teasingly, "Could the guy kissing her be Jonathan?"Judging by the build, the man seemed a bit too thin. He was also a little short compared to Jonathan. So, if it wasn't Jonathan, who could it be?Anyone within their circle could tell that Charlotte and Jonathan weren't merely ordinary friends. Would she really go out of his way to hurt his fiancée's feelings if he didn't have any feelings for the so-called friend?The trio didn't linger on the sight and followed the waiter into their p

    Giselle stepped aside, causing Brady to miss. She raised an eyebrow lightly and looked at him icily. "Why wouldn't I dare?"Brady was so enraged that he lost all sense of reason. Any restraint he had about not hitting women was thrown out the window as he charged at Giselle.Just then, Lily let out a piercing scream. "Brady!"Brady thought he could overpower Giselle with brute force, but he had underestimated her strength.Giselle quickly grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder, slamming him hard onto the floor. This stunned everyone in the hospital room.Giselle calmly planted a foot on Brady's back and called the police."What do you want? Money? I have plenty! Name your price, and I'll pay if you delete the video!"Brady was in utter despair, feeling that his career was about to collapse. At this point, he didn't care if Giselle wanted money or men. He would find a way to fulfill her wishes!"Do I look like someone who needs money?" Giselle pressed harder with her fo

    "Lily!"The man angrily kicked open the hospital room door, his loud voice echoing in the corridor.Giselle's expression turned cold as she took out her phone and started recording."Lily! Delete all that stuff online right now! Do you have any idea how much damage it's causing me? If you've lost your mind, go to a mental hospital! Don't drag me down with you!"Brady suddenly appeared after being busy with work for a long time.Lily's heart tightened, and she instinctively stepped in front of Yvonne to shield her.Brady removed his hat and mask, revealing the face that Lily had been infatuated with for over 20 years. Time had only added maturity to his features.But his handsome face was now contorted with rage, and the icy glint in his eyes carried a hint of malice.Lily felt her heart sink in an instant."Brady! Don't argue with me here! Yves needs to rest.""Rest? What kind of trick are you two playing this time? Let me tell you, your tactics won't work on me!" Brady let o

    From getting to know Brady to falling in love, it seemed to be just Lily's one-sided infatuation.She was eleven years older than Brady. Back then, she was a highly sought-after screenwriter in the industry, while Brady was just a newbie starting out.She was attracted to his looks, and Brady went along with her desires. Their secret relationship had initially been based on a sugar mommy and sugar baby dynamic. But it evolved into what appeared to be a normal romance after Brady gained fame.From that point on, their roles reversed.Brady became so busy that he was barely around, sometimes not meeting her for half a year. This made Lily become insecure. She lost herself and became increasingly obsessive.But her tears had already dried up. Now, she was numb, like a lifeless puppet.At the moment, Giselle said, "Expose everything Brady has done."Lily never thought that her relationship of more than 20 years would end so bitterly.

    Chester's black coat was draped over his arm. He was wearing a white shirt.With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his unbuttoned collar added a casual and slightly languid air.Before Jean could say anything, Chester stopped right in front of Giselle.His eyes lowered, and his long lashes cast faint shadows on his cheeks. Then, he said in a crisp, cold tone, "Ms. Stone, let's go. I'll take you home."Jean was slightly surprised. She hadn't told him, but Chester had already volunteered to take Giselle? Since when was her younger brother so enthusiastic about helping others?Jean didn't have time to dwell on it and simply reminded them, "Be careful on the way. Gigi, text me when you're home."Giselle obediently agreed and forced herself to follow Chester out. The cool breeze outside blew away the heat from her flushed face, clearing her thoughts considerably.A black luxury car was parked in the courtyard. Chester opened the car door for her.
