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.

    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

    While Sebastian went to get his blood drawn, Wendy sat slumped on the ground, looking like her soul had left her. Her eyes were hollow, and her face was pale.Earlier, when Sebastian mentioned that he saw a man walking out of her room…But… she did not cheat on him!In that short period of time, countless thoughts raced through her mind. No words of comfort were able to bring solace to her.With everyone's eyes fixed on her, she got up in a wobbly manner. With a hoarse voice, she said, "I'm going to the toilet for a while…" She needed a moment to herself.Emma wanted to go with Wendy when Giselle stopped her.Emma's brows knitted together. Her gaze was entirely filled with concern for Wendy."Gigi, she—""Let's give her some space for now."This was something huge. If Giselle was in Wendy's place, she would most certainly not have the strength to take it all in.With Wendy already being the weaker one among them, there was no doubt that she would be breaking down.

    As if Harold had made up his mind, he clenched his fists tightly.Giselle had been observing the changes in his expression. At that moment, Giselle asked him a question that she had been wanting to ask."Harold, were all of you aware from the very beginning that I wasn't related to any of you?""That's right. We—" Harold answered without thinking too much of it. By the time he realized what had just happened, it was already too late.Giselle did not look surprised at all. She had always known the answer to this question. All she needed was a confirmation.She finally had a definite answer. From the way Harold and Linda treated Charlotte, they looked like good parents. However, they were only good to people who were related to them.From the beginning, Giselle had just been an outsider to them. Ever since she was a little girl, they would be unforgiving toward her. They would either beat her or lock her up in a dark room. They also made sure that she paid them back for the meage

    Chester was like a god to everyone. He could be looked at but couldn't be reached. They weren't on the same level. Harold thought that he had heard it wrong. Giselle's husband was Chester? That was impossible. It had to be a lie.Giselle cared a lot about her reputation, so she must have colluded with Hector to put up an act in front of them. Harold refused to believe that the fake daughter he had once regarded as worthless actually climbed up the social ladder.Emma, who stayed behind, crossed her arms in front of her chest and glanced at Harold with contempt. "What's the matter? Do you still not understand? Gigi is the daughter-in-law of the Fordham family. When you see her in the future, please treat her respectfully. Otherwise…"She felt happy at the thought of that scene. She continued, "Otherwise, doomsday will arrive, and Grant Group will go bankrupt."It was a sentence that was always said by the male protagonists in novels where they were wealthy CEOs.

    "Jasmine, are you trying to harass an unconscious patient?" The sudden voice shocked Jasmine, making her withdraw her hand subconsciously and shudder. She turned to the side and saw Giselle open the curtain with one hand before walking out. On Giselle's beautiful and indifferent face, there was a mocking expression that she didn't bother to hide. Her dark hair and fair skin were very easy to recognize.Jasmine bit her lips out of jealousy. "Don't slander me! I-I'm only here to visit Chester!" Then, she asked, "Why are you hiding in Chester's ward? You're the one who's trying to harass him! How dare you say I'm the one harassing him instead!"It wasn't the first time Giselle had seen someone play the victim. She found the situation mind-boggling and wanted to laugh, which is exactly what she did. She then raised her brows. "I'm harassing my darling? Jasmine, are you kidding?"Chester was aware of his surroundings the entire time. He could sense everything in the ward. It was just

    "Put on your seatbelt, Mr. Barton," said Giselle.Chris had looked into her past before, and she didn't seem to have any experience in racing. In fact, he had never even seen her drive a car before. He only put his life in her hands because he had no other choice this time.Before he could start praying for everything to go well, the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The people following them tried to catch their breaths as they watched Giselle and Chris leave."What should we do now? Are we going after them?""Of course! Why wouldn't we? Hurry up and bring the car around! This is 100 million we're talking about here! Once we're done with this job, we won't have to worry about money ever again! The terms haven't changed. Whoever catches Chris Barton first shall get the most money!"…Chris held the handle on the car tightly in fear. He looked cold and aloof, but his heart was racing nonstop.

    The hand that grabbed Giselle's wrist was cold and sweaty. Before she could turn around with a frown, a deep voice said, "Ms. Stone, please help me. I'll give you five million dollars."Hearing that there was five million dollars on the line, she raised her eyebrows in disbelief. After thinking about it for a while, she finally recognized who the familiar voice belonged to. It was Chris Barton, Larry's half-brother.Chris and Larry seldom spoke to each other. It had been a long time since they even met each other. So, when Chris suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Giselle was a little surprised. That said, he came with a five-million-dollar offer, and she didn't see why she couldn't accept it."Sure, but please let go of me first and keep a safe distance from me."Since they were both single, they shouldn't be that close to each other. Otherwise, someone might snap a picture of them and make a huge deal out of it.Chris didn't let go of her. In fact, he stood closer. When his shadow

    "Let's go, Giselle! It's about to start soon," said Harry.The ticket gate was to their right, and Giselle and Harry were standing last in line. They were surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Harry kept telling her everything he knew about the race teams, and he became increasingly excited.Meanwhile, Giselle silently listened to him and occasionally responded to his words. When he noticed that, he thought he had found a best friend with the same hobby.After they got past the gate, they entered a dark hallway. There were pictures of past champions hung on both sides of the wall. As they made their way inside, they heard people squealing next to them, and Giselle casually looked to the side. Then, her gaze darkened.Among all the pictures around them, there was one in particular that attracted Giselle's attention. There was an image of a young lady with short hair, carrying a helmet in her arms. There was also a name under the picture—Lyla Sharp.However, the person in the picture di

    Upon hearing Jackie's words, the gears in Harry's silent mind suddenly turned. He finally understood why Lyla looked familiar. After all, her eyes and nose looked exactly like the Stone family's."But that doesn't prove anything." Harry stubbornly continued, "Giselle looks like us as well, so why aren't you suspecting it's her instead?"Compared to Lyla, who he didn't know that well, Harry would much prefer that Giselle be his biological sister instead.When Giselle heard what he said, she was left speechless, thinking he was too bold to say something like that. When she noticed that Jackie was gazing at her, she looked back at him confidently.Jackie only looked away after a while, thinking that Harry was right. Even though Lyla looked similar to them, it couldn't prove anything. That said, he had heard something about her from Holly before, and he couldn't help feeling optimistic about it.He was waiting for the right opportunity to do a DNA test. Then, they could finally find o

    Holly Sharp stood up first, and she enthusiastically called for Jackie. Just as she was about to talk to Harry, she saw Giselle enter the room, and the smile on Holly's face faded immediately.Jackie nodded at her in greeting. Before he could even pull out a chair, Harry rushed forward to grab a seat for Giselle. "Here, Giselle! Have a seat!"Harry's passion was contagious, and the smile on Holly's face returned after she looked at him for a while. Meanwhile, Jackie sat next to her, and the room fell quiet for a moment.Holly took the initiative to say hello to Harry first. "Hi, I'm Holly Sharp, and I'm your brother's best friend. I've heard a lot about you."He responded with great enthusiasm. "Oh, you don't have to be so formal around me, Holly! Just call me Harry!"Next, Holly introduced Lyla to Harry. "This is Lyla, my adopted sister. She's all I have left."Upon saying that, a look of sadness flickered across Holly's face. Lyla just pursed her lips and silently grabbed Holly

    A man in a black coat got out of the backseat, looking tall and domineering as he stood there. Harry ran to him first—as if he was a maniac—and yelled passionately, "Jackie!"Harry and Jackie looked equally tall, and their facial features were mostly similar. However, their personalities were completely different. Harry looked like a child when he stood in front of Jackie.Jackie responded to Harry's greetings with a hum before looking at Giselle, who was approaching him as well. He was stunned momentarily when he saw her familiar face."Hello, Mr. Stone," Giselle greeted him first, and he finally returned to his senses. He suppressed the emotions behind his deep, dark eyes and said, "Thank you for taking care of Harry, Ms. Stone.""Harry's a great kid, and he's been helping me. So, it's no problem at all."After they were done exchanging greetings, Jackie opened the car door like a gentleman. "After you, Ms. Stone."The heater inside the car felt great compared to the winter won

    "It's true that I liked him once. However, when I saw him again, my heart didn't race the way it did back then." Julia felt closure after saying that. Then, she added with a smile, "Maybe I just couldn't let go of the feelings I had when I was younger."Giselle agreed with what she had said. "Your conclusion is correct."It would always bother Julia when she couldn't have what she wanted. However, by the time the man she liked finally stood in front of her, her heart had already changed long ago.Giselle stopped talking about it to respect Julia's decision. After ten more minutes had passed, Harry arrived at the cafe in a hurry. Snow dusted his hair as he gasped for breath, and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of snow."Giselle!" He shouted so loudly that he managed to attract everyone's attention. After that, he sat next to Giselle with his eyes brightly lit up.It was Julia's first time seeing Harry, and she was stunned to see how energetic he was.Meanwhile, Giselle fe

    Giselle's words felt like a bolt of lightning, striking Julia and splitting her shell instantly. Julia was stunned, and she instinctively asked, "How did you know?"Giselle smiled as her hunch had been proven correct."Before I came to Anterica, I did a quick tarot reading for you and Hector, and that was what I had gotten from the cards."Giselle had been interested in tarot readings ever since she was in high school. As such, she taught herself how to read the cards by going through online forums. Then, when she started working as a relationship counselor, her tarot reading skills proved invaluable, with her readings being accurate 99% of the time.Julia clenched her fists tightly, and her frown loosened up after a while. Three minutes later, she began to tell Giselle the truth. "I only found out about the child after I arrived in Anterica."A little before she left, Hector had gotten drunk, and his friend called her over to take him with her. Since she was nearby that day and

    Harry held his head high and harrumphed in disdain."You don't have to worry. With me around, you won't even have to think about getting close to Giselle!"Harry's parents had already told him that Jonathan was a bad influence and that he shouldn't grow up to be like him. Not only did Jonathan eye another woman while having a girlfriend, but the woman he had his eyes on was just terrible! It showed how his judgment needed some improvements.Harry confidently promised that he would never be a bastard like Jonathan. If he had to look up to someone, it would have to be Chester. After all, Chester's charms were out of this world!Before getting on the plane, Harry told Chester that Jonathan was also heading to Anterica."Don't worry, Chet. With me around, there's no way Jonathan can get close to Giselle! He's just a bastard, so she would never take him back!"When they were on the plane, Harry specifically asked for a seat where he could see Jonathan clearly. Jonathan scoffed angri
