"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

    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-

    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

    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. "Seba

    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

    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. His features were sharp and well-defined, and he exuded a domineering presence just by standing there.Danny was the second son of the Stone family.Though he came from a wealthy and privileged family, he chose one of the most dangerous professions. And despite his backgroun

    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

    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. However, she took two steps back, leaving his arms hovering in mid-air."It was wrong of me to say that, Wendy. I-I didn't mean that. Please hear me out…"Yarick did not understand what had just happened. All he knew was that his parents

    The group rushed over to Seaworth Hospital."Get out of the way! Move aside, people!""Page Dr. Lincoln! Hurry!"The doctors and nurses pushed the gurney to the operating room as quickly as they could.Wendy and the rest followed closely behind.Giselle was holding Wendy in her arms as she comforted her, all the while telling her that nothing would happen to Yarick.Just 15 minutes earlier, Yarick had run out of the police station and got into a car accident.His tiny body was lying motionlessly on the ground, his eyes shut tight. Yarick's entire body was covered in blood; it was a shocking sight for all.Yarick had just been frolicking around earlier. The present moment seemed unreal. The accident had happened in a split second."Please be fine, Yarick…" Wendy burst into tears. Her eyes had now become swollen from all the crying.Everyone was waiting outside the operating room, and the atmosphere was somber. Sebastian squatted on the floor, looking dejected. He tousled his h

    Emma and Giselle spent most of the evening talking about the Lawsons. Only a small fraction of the time was spent discussing the Stones.Rumor had it that the Stones found their long-lost daughter. As for why it had not been announced yet, the rumors varied.Even after listening to the rumors from her colleagues the entire day, Emma was not able to get a clear picture. This was why she decided she might as well look for Giselle to have an in-depth discussion the entire night."Yeah. The results of the paternity test are out. I'm not related to the Stones." Giselle said this with an indifferent expression on her face.She took a sip of the beer. It burned a little as it traveled down her throat.For a while, Emma was stunned. "Not related? That's impossible. You look just like them…"Even though she had never met Lyla before, her sixth sense as a woman told her that Giselle was the real heiress of the Stones."There are so many people in this world who look alike. Would you say t

    It had been almost a year since Chester returned to the country. Hence, it was odd for Jonathan to have asked Chester that question. Later, it was the doctor's explanation that unraveled the confusion that he and Jean had."It seems like he has amnesia."Chester pondered further, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes. The term "amnesia" did not seem appropriate in this context.Jonathan did not forget anyone. He just had his memory reset to the time he was 18 years old.Back then, the love Jonathan and Giselle shared was for the movie screens, and everyone envied them.Giselle's brows furrowed. "Amnesia?"All Angela did was slip him a few love bugs. What did she do to make him lose his memories?Unless… Jonathan was putting on an act."Yeah. The doctor said that it was trauma-induced. They're not sure when he will recover."Giselle did not linger on this question any further.Chester continued, "Oh, another thing. The paternity test results are out."As soon as he sa

    Chester did not elaborate further.This made Harry itch with curiosity.Giselle pushed back her live broadcast work and agreed to go with them.Harry pestered Chester like an annoying pest, but Chester remained tight-lipped, his face cold and stern."Chet, just tell me already!"With Harry's persistent pestering, Chester became annoyed and said, "It's the first day of school, and you're itching to get a day off, are you?"It was way past the new year.The seniors were all going back to school and preparing for the brutal examination that was to come in June.Harry was not the least bit concerned.Since he could not get good grades for the life of him, he thought he might as well find some other way to make a living. Harry could find out where his passion lay and how he would turn it into a career. Fortunately, he had a few older brothers. Otherwise, he would surely have suffered a great deal!Harry immediately pulled a long face. "Chet, can you not rub salt on my wound?""

    With the sudden mention of Jonathan's name, Giselle narrowed her eyes."What about him?"Jean was silent for a moment. There seemed to be a lot on her mind as she recalled how Jonathan looked when he woke up.After a brief moment, she said, "You'll know when you see him."It wasn't that Jean didn't want to tell Giselle. She simply did not know how to.After all, the fact that he was suffering from memory deterioration was simply too inconceivable.The doctor said it did not affect his intelligence, only that his memory had regressed to a certain age. As for how long it would take to recover, the doctors were not able to give a definite answer.With Jean hanging up the phone, Giselle had a bad feeling.Nevertheless, she did not give it much thought.After all, she and Jonathan had completely fallen out. It would be downright brazen of him to get any nearer to her.Giselle turned off the lights and went to bed.…The next day, her phone was bombarded with missed calls once ag

    Harry: "How'd you know that? Lyla will be using the guest room for the time being as her room's not quite ready yet."The paternity test results for Lyla and the Stones were already out. Logically speaking, Harry should be busy catching up on all the lost time with Lyla. However, for some reason, he just could not bring himself to do that.What's more, Harry would feel uncomfortable anytime he was with Lyla.Being the carefree person he was, Harry had never given much thought to these details. Ultimately, it all came down to the fact that they had hardly spent time together. As such, it was only natural for them to feel distant from each other.But Harry had forgotten something.He'd felt a strong sense of familiarity upon his first meeting with Giselle.Harry: "It's quite late now, so why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking about what happened with the Lawsons today?"The matter regarding Jonathan might not have been spread online, but those who went to the charity banq

    Giselle had just come out of the bathroom when she received this text message.Her long black hair was wet, hanging behind her back as water droplets fell to the ground.The white bathrobe was loosely wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate, fair skin. Her skin was as white as snow, so much so that it was almost dazzling.Chester was asking her how she was planning to deal with Charlotte.Since laws had to be abided by, getting her killed was out of the question.Besides, Giselle did not think death was the best punishment.The most painful form of torture would be to reduce someone to a point where they begged to be killed.Charlotte had the privilege of enjoying a life of luxury and wealth for over two decades as the fake heiress of the Grant family.People often said that going from rags to riches was easy, but going from riches to rags was hard.There was no way the Grants would be able to make a comeback. Presently, they were inundated by a mountain of debt. If no

    The feeling of wanting to escape but not being able to was agonizing.After a while, Angela mustered the courage and said in a trembling voice, "We live in a c-civil society. I could sue you. My husband's from the Lawson family. You can't afford to cross—""Your husband?" Jean could not help but interrupt when she heard those two words.The piercing cold glare in her sharp eyes was comparable to Chester's.There was no doubt that they were siblings."Angela, the divorce certificate hasn't been issued, which means he isn't your husband yet."Knowing Jean's personality, there was absolutely no chance she would get back together with Perry.But that did not stop her from feeling annoyed by Angela.Angela's face instantly turned pale. She bit the bullet and said, "Perry no longer loves you. There's no future for you two, even if you don't get a divorce.""If I don't get the divorce, you'll never be able to be his official wife."Jean hit where it hurt.She had always been strong

    Everyone in the room tensed up upon the sudden mention of Giselle's name.Harry did not think much of it. "Giselle's super nice! The first time we met, she saved my life. If it wasn't for her, none of you would be able to see me today!"He might have exaggerated the story a little. Still, it was evident that Harry liked Giselle a lot.Eugene and Moira knew Harry well. He was a good judge of character. Anyone he claimed to be a good person would turn out to be as such.What's more, seeing Giselle for the first time gave them a sense of familiarity that could not be put into words.Those eyebrows were impeccably refined.It was certainly genetics at work.If not for Lyla and the paternity test report, they might have truly believed that Giselle was their actual child without hesitation.With her hands hidden behind her back, Holly secretly clenched her fists. For a moment, darkness flashed through that gentle expression of hers.It was not until she heard Jackie's voice next to

    Charlotte even tried to act pitiful to gain Jonathan's sympathy.It was just too bad that Jonathan had already seen her for who she truly was.With the aphrodisiac taking over his entire body, Jonathan bit Charlotte's lips like an irrational beast.Charlotte kept fighting against him.With her airway cut off, Charlotte's face turned bright red. Just as her struggle against Jonathan was starting to wane, Jonathan suddenly got up and left her.Some of his sanity had returned. With a loud bang, Jonathan locked himself inside the bathroom.He turned on the faucet and let the ice cold water fill the bathtub. Then, he submerged himself into the water, trembling from head to toe.His palm had been cut open. Drops of blood that were eerily red swirled in the cold water.He could not touch Charlotte.Because Giselle would not want him then.Even though Jonathan was thinking rationally right now, the intense heat he was feeling inside his body had not been doused by the cold water.
