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
Linda had already asked a lawyer about the terms and conditions of a divorce.Ever since she learned about Harold's affair, she hadn't been able to get a good night's rest. After being a housewife for decades, she figured she had to have a great plan to live the rest of her life in peace.She had everything planned out. If Harold intended to see it to the end, then she would have to get as much as possible when splitting their assets. Her children would definitely stand on her side since she was the victim in this situation and Harold was the one at fault.Everything was going according to her plan. However, Wendy had messed it up for her. Worse yet, the rest of the family even found out that Harold had an illegitimate son named Anthony."You really are a bully, aren't you, Mrs. Grant? Yarick's disappearance is clearly your son's fault."As Giselle spoke, she arrived at Wendy's side. As she stood there, she gently calmed Wendy down. Subsequently, Wendy's heart stopped racing in an
Yarick waddled toward Wendy in a hurry with a stuffed bear in his arms. There was a slight hint of red in his chubby cheeks, and his eyes were glistening. Then, he jumped into Wendy's arms."Yarick!" Wendy was overwhelmed with excitement. She held her son tightly in her trembling arms as she cried tears of joy.Sebastian hurriedly approached them and reached out his hand. However, Wendy moved to the side, and he didn't manage to grab his son. Instead, his hand froze in midair. Because of that, his face became even gloomier."I've been so worried about you, Yarick! Where were you? Please don't run away next time." Wendy lectured the young Yarick between sobs.As she spoke, a tall man entered the building. He looked to be in his 30s and was wearing long pants and a sweater. The scar on his right eye was hard to ignore."Oh? Did I come at the wrong time? Why is everyone here?"Upon hearing the voice, Giselle narrowed her eyes at the man. It was Anthony.The police had failed to fin
Sebastian was stunned speechless, suspecting that Giselle was there to make things worse for them. Usually, people would start talking them out of fighting at this point. However, that wasn't what Giselle was doing at all. Instead, she was doing the exact opposite—like a maniac egging on violence.Anthony chuckled mysteriously and put his hands in his pockets before shrugging. With that, his staredown with Sebastian ended."I'm at fault here. I was the one who took Yarick away and forgot to tell Ms. Scott about it. I'm terribly sorry." He apologized so sincerely that Wendy couldn't say anything about it, no matter how angry she was.He was definitely guilty of making everyone work for nothing. Still, it was fortunate that Yarick was fine.The boy hid in Wendy's embrace. Since he was tired after having so much fun that day, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.While Anthony was giving his statement, Henry arrived to deliver the promised food.Jim cleared out the lounge so th
After Giselle brought Wendy to a hotel, she said to the latter, "Let me know if you need anything, Wendy. And if you're sure about the divorce, tell Emma about it."Having calmed down fully, Wendy tucked Yarick in bed before seeing Giselle out of the room. Just as Giselle stepped into the elevator, Wendy suddenly asked, "Gigi… Why are you encouraging me to get a divorce?"The thought of having a divorce had already been on her mind since last year. She told her friends and family about it, but no one ever supported her idea.Everyone told her that Sebastian was a good man with great looks and an impressive background. They also mentioned how he wouldn't spend his time and money fooling around outside. Because of that, they couldn't believe Wendy would actually think about getting a divorce instead of cherishing him.They even called her crazy for that. After being told the same thing over and over again, Wendy couldn't help but doubt herself. When she married Sebastian back then, o
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
