Chapter 207

Author: DuckDuckJoe
Anyone could see through Finley's intentions. Ever since her confession was rejected, she was aware that the Stones opposed her wish to be with Chester.

In fact, every member of the family would talk to her in private, trying to change her mind. They hoped she would like someone else instead of waiting for Chester, someone who would never come to like her. Even now, they were still adamant about it.

Moira didn't answer Finley's question right away. Instead, she tried to change the subject. Unexpectedly, Finley was stubborn and wanted to get her answers.

Feeling helpless, Moira said, "Finley, we can't force a relationship. Forgive me for being blunt, but Chester doesn't like you at all."

Chester was aloof, and he wasn't even close with his family, let alone someone else. A healthy relationship should work both ways. So, even if Finley managed to force him to be with her, she still wouldn't be happy.

As a mother, Moira didn't want to see Finley digging a grave for herself. Since the

    Moira handed Finley a tissue and said, "Finley, listen to me. Just forget about Chester."As long as Chester didn't like Finley, they would never be together.…Chester made a reservation at a fancy restaurant in the center of Seaworth City. Upon entering the building, a waiter led them to their room. Their private room was located on the third floor, and they could see the astonishing night view through the window.Chester took off his jacket and casually hung it on the rack before pulling out a chair for Giselle like a gentleman. Then, they sat opposite each other.It was so quiet in the room that the sudden notification on Giselle's phone sounded alarming. Giselle looked down at Emma's message. Emma had sent her a location and some pictures, saying, "Gigi, this restaurant has great food. Let's come here together tomorrow!"Emma's location overlapped with Giselle's as they were at the same restaurant that night. After Giselle sent her current location to Emma, the latter sent a

    The cherry tomatoes on the plate looked bright red.Giselle froze with the utensils in her hands and looked surprised. "How did you know?"It was an uncommon allergy, but she wouldn't be surprised if the people closest to her knew about it. Quentin, however, had only met her a couple of times, and they couldn't even be considered friends yet. So, it was really puzzling.The other three people in the room looked at Quentin at the same time. Among the three of them, Chester's gaze looked the most hostile.Still, Quentin was calm, a faint smile playing on his dashing and elegant face."I saw you during the last school anniversary dinner." Worried that Giselle might think he was obsessed with her, he added, "You're the first person I know to be allergic to tomatoes, so it's hard to forget."He went to the same university as her and had secretly noticed her for a long time now. Giselle was like a shining star with an outstanding background and looks. Even though she had a boyfriend ba

    Emma knew Chester liked Giselle, but she couldn't figure out if Quentin felt the same way. After all, Quentin never explicitly showed that he wanted to pursue Giselle.The five people left the restaurant one after another. Maddie hesitated for a long while before standing in front of Giselle. Maddie's eyes were lit up brightly, and she was finally back to her energetic self."Gigi, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my life would've been ruined. I'm leaving Seaworth City tomorrow, so I'll get you a gift next time."Without a bastard constantly gaslighting her, Maddie looked more like a woman her age and was delighted about it. Giselle had really helped her a lot this time.Even though she said she didn't want to care about Maddie anymore, Emma still couldn't bring herself to hate the latter. The cousin she grew up with suddenly dated someone incompetent, and Emma had been feeling hopeless about it.Quentin stood next to Emma and the rest, ignoring Chester

    The ambulance siren echoed through the night. Chester was lying on a stretcher with his eyes shut, and his body was covered in blood. The doctor and nurses yelled as they hurriedly made their way to the emergency room, "Get out of the way!"Soon, news of Chester getting hurt started to spread like wildfire. Every media outlet reported it on their platforms, and it became the most trending news in no time."Breaking news! The great Fordham family's son was reportedly in an accident. His fate remains unknown!"The comments section was full of conspiracy theories."My guess is that someone is trying to seek revenge. After all, why would their car flip for no reason? The grudges wealthy families have are just too terrifying!""Did Chester mess with someone?""People sure are petty nowadays, and they would kill someone else for close to anything. Please don't die, Chester! You're so dashing and valuable to this world.""I was there just now and shocked to my core. I don't think he wa

    "Giselle, what's the point of standing here like this? Are you hoping to break Uncle Chester's heart by letting him see you in this state? Stop daydreaming."Although Jonathan didn't want to say that, he still did in the end—and it really stung. Feeling uneasy, he turned his head away and looked upset.Jean had to hold the urge to slap him, and she continued persuading Giselle. "Gigi, listen to me and get your wounds treated first. I'll keep an eye out over here. If anything happens, I'll let you know first, alright?"Giselle looked at the sign over the operation room and took a deep breath. "Alright." Then, she walked toward the other end of the hallway. After she walked a distance, Jonathan caught up with her.He had a taste of her verbal attack before, so he hurriedly said, "I'm only following you because my mom is forcing me, so don't overthink it." After saying that, he kept his mouth shut. That also wasn't what he really wanted to say.Giselle shot a glance at him and didn't

    Giselle looked up at Jonathan, and there was a subtle hint of disgust behind her cold gaze. His hand froze midair, and he looked terribly gloomy."Giselle!" He sounded furious as he yelled at her in his deep voice. Jonathan couldn't believe she would still be so stubborn when she was injured that badly. He thought it was pointless for her to do so. If it weren't for Jean, he wouldn't have bothered with Giselle at all!He thought Giselle was a woman who wouldn't cherish what she had and found that time really could turn friends into strangers. He remembered how Giselle would always look delicate when they were still dating back in the day. In fact, she would be so weak that she couldn't even open a bottle herself.Jonathan had to admit that he liked the way she acted in the past. However, he suddenly had a realization, and his pupils dilated a little. It seemed to him that the person who had changed wasn't Giselle at all. Instead, it was him.After their honeymoon phase was over,

    Giselle looked down at the paper cup in her hands, and her long eyelashes hid her gaze as she pondered silently.Lindsay wasn't anxious when she received no answer. Instead, she turned around and leaned against the railings, looking lazy as ever."I think someone did it on purpose. From what I've heard, Chester took a slice of someone's pie."Upon hearing that, Giselle immediately thought of Anthony and looked at Lindsay. Although Lindsay was still a young lady, she was way more mature than people around her age.Time slowly passed, and when Jean approached them, Lindsay left with a random excuse."Gigi, Captain Lane is looking for you."Giselle was the only one who was conscious after experiencing the crash, and she could even walk around freely. So, it was reasonable for the police to want to speak with her.When Jim approached Giselle with two police officers in tow, Jean took the initiative to give them some space. She just stood somewhere nearby and got on her phone."Don'

    It rained heavily in Seaworth City for the next three days. Giselle took some days off from livestreaming and kept visiting the hospital. Scabs had already formed over the wounds on her body. As for the ones that were more serious, she still needed to apply medication to them every day.Chester was lying in bed in the intensive care unit. For three days, people came to visit him, regardless of how close they were to the Fordham family. However, Jean stopped them from going into the ward with no exception."Gigi, you don't have to come all the way here every day. The doctor said Chester was out of danger, so listen to me and get some rest at home."Giselle looked incredibly tired, and anyone could tell that she wasn't getting enough sleep. Jean felt heartbroken when she saw Giselle like that.The police had said that the driver who crashed into them had died on the spot. They looked into the driver's call history and other background information, but they hadn't discovered anythin

    Meanwhile, Giselle had just found the first-aid kit and sat next to Chester.The light in the living room was a warm orange, softening the hardened knots between Chester's forehead. He removed his jacket, leaving only a thin shirt on. "This might hurt, so bear with me."Jonathan really did not hold back one bit. Chester's skin was already fair. The contrast only made the purplish bruise even more striking and distressing.Giselle and Chester were growing nearer to each other.They were in such close proximity that he could take in the fragrance of her shampoo.Her attention was on the corner of his lips. She had cotton dipped in iodine to clean the dried blood on the area of the wound.Chester's breathing suddenly came to a halt.His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. His breath was warm, and his gaze was deep.After a while, Giselle retreated to her original position. As she kept the first-aid kit away, she said, "It's done. When you get home, try not to let water come in con

    In Giselle's cold eyes, there was nothing but indifference and annoyance."Gigi, I'm in pain…"Jonathan stared at her, the emotions in his eyes flickering back and forth. His weak and vulnerable tone was completely different from the violence he portrayed earlier.He was now trying to use pity to get Giselle to sympathize with him.Jonathan thought that if Giselle still loved him, then he would let everything go.Unfortunately, reality was more cruel than he imagined. Giselle's expression did not even waver.In an instant, the asphyxiating heartache turned into a wild beast, ruthlessly tearing him apart.Jonathan's arm fell to his side helplessly. Suddenly, he staggered backward as if his soul had left him, no longer behaving as arrogantly as he had before.He should be fuming. And Giselle should also be taught a lesson.But Jonathan could not do it.He loved Giselle so much, so why was she doing this to him?"Jon? Jon, what's wrong…"Vivian looked at Jonathan, who was obvi

    Jonathan called Chester by his first name. He was not even willing to address him with due respect.Jim sensed the gravity of the situation and immediately had the other officers leave the room, giving the two some privacy.With the sound of the door locking, the atmosphere in the entire room fell below freezing temperature.With tensions running high, nobody dared to even breathe.Jonathan stood in their way, his tall stature overwhelmingly intimidating.As he stood face to face with Chester, their imposing presence seemed to match evenly.Jonathan looked like fireballs were about to shoot out of his eyes while the latter's eyes were as calm as a still, bottomless abyss, ready to erase his opponent's existence without leaving so much as a single trace.Vivian was so overwhelmed that her tears wouldn't come. She was really afraid that Jonathan would beat Chester up.The current situation was way more serious than her writing a love letter to her classmate."Why should I give y

    Jim handled everything professionally."Jon…" Vivian reached out, tugging at Jonathan's sleeve. "Don't let mom know. She's going to be so mad."Vivian knew Jean's temper all too well. If she had not been afraid of Jean finding out about her love letter to Harry, Vivian would not have made Jonathan come pick her up from school.But if Jonathan had not come, the consequent chain of events would not have happened.Jonathan exuded an intimidating energy as he remained silent.Meanwhile, Giselle wasn't the least bit bothered.Harry was the same. After all, he had only done what he did to stand up for Giselle. Even if his family members were to come bail him out, none of them would be mad at him."Ms. Stone."Jim turned toward Giselle and said, "You may have Mr. Fordham come get you."Mr. Fordham. Chester Fordham.Jonathan couldn't bear hearing this name.As soon as he heard this name, he would immediately recall the words Giselle said. "Well, obviously I'm after his body."Absol

    She was after his body. Giselle was going after Chester for his body.Jonathan completely lost all of his sanity when he heard those words, delivering another blow to the board.He could not be bothered about the excruciating pain coming from his knuckles. Through gritted teeth, he demanded answers from Giselle."You've slept with Chester?"Before Giselle could even respond, Harry, who had just returned from retrieving his phone, ran over at full speed.Without any explanation whatsoever, he punched Jonathan in the face."Now that I'm here, don't even think about hurting Giselle!"As someone young, tall, and one who worked out daily, Harry's one punch broke the skin on the corner of Jonathan's mouth.The piercing pain made Jonathan give up all his reasoning.Immediately, the two men broke into a fight.Vivian scrambled to get up from the floor, looking miserable. She wanted to pull them apart but was afraid she might get injured in the process.As such, she just glared at Gi

    When they were at the hospital the other day, Chester made Vivian feel awfully stressed. This uncle of hers was way too overprotective of Giselle.If Jonathan were to lay a finger on Giselle, Chester would definitely hunt him down. And when that time came, the fact that she twisted the truth would be revealed.Vivian gritted her teeth. The fear she felt outweighed her reasoning. Without a second thought, she rushed over."Jon, stop!"Vivian held onto Jonathan's arm. The blood vessels in his knuckles popped as he squeezed every word out with restraint. "Let go."This was the first time that Vivian had ever seen Jonathan like this. She clenched down on her molars and cried out, "No!"The siblings' double act was absolutely comedic in Giselle's eyes. She rubbed her wrist which had turned red from Jonathan's grip. Then, she turned on her heels, wanting to leave.Jonathan jerked free from Vivian's grasp, stretching out his hands as he tried to grab onto Giselle once again.However,

    "Giselle, I need to ask you something."The two looked at each other. One had an indifferent expression while the other looked like they could barely tolerate this request.Giselle tried to free herself but her wrist remained firmly locked in his grip. The heat between them instinctively triggered a visceral sense of disgust in her.Her stomach churned violently, and her expression went dark. "Let go."Jonathan kept his stare on her with eyes that were deep and enigmatic. "If I don't—" Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly gasped in pain.Giselle did not care if she hurt him. She had swiftly raised her knee and went for his groin. Even though Jonathan reacted in time, she was too fast for him to avoid the blow entirely.The anger in his eyes surged. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Giselle Stone!"This "new" Giselle felt extremely foreign to Jonathan.The Giselle he remembered was someone gentle and caring. There was never a time she would be this violent.

    The moment Giselle heard Jonathan call out her name in full, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Had he recovered his memories?Giselle scoffed. "Am I wrong? Mr. Kendrick is asking Harry to pretend that he has feelings for Vivian and to wait until the exams are over to talk about it. Isn't he asking the kid to lie?"Harry has made it crystal clear that he has no feelings for Vivian. A clear rejection is the best solution. You're afraid that Vivian's state of mind might be affected, but what about Harry's?"Every word was carefully chosen.Even though Greg did not explicitly say it, Giselle understood his underlying intention without misconstruing anything.Harry clapped his hands as sparkles danced around his eyes. "You got it! I don't like Vivian. I don't like her now and I certainly won't like her in the future!"Vivan was not his type to begin with. What's more, after learning about the things she had done to Giselle, the chances of him liking Vivian were even slimmer

    Jonathan's towering figure emerged in the doorway.Instead of his usual formal suit, he was dressed in a hoodie and cropped pants.To put it simply, he looked like a mannequin. His handsome face was as cold as ice, making him look unapproachable. As his eyes swept across the room, he suddenly paused when his gaze fell upon Giselle.The hand by his side instinctively clenched. It seemed like he did not expect to find Giselle here.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was reminded of the ignored text and what Vivian had told him.He pursed his lips for a moment, forcing the words back down. "Now that we have everyone's guardians here, let's talk about what happened earlier today."Greg Kendrick, the homeroom teacher, pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat before continuing, "I understand how kids your age are going through a phase where you yearn for the opposite gender, but this is the time to be focusing on your studies.
