Chapter 240

Penulis: DuckDuckJoe
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

    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

    Harry thought that Danny should have understood the situation after he had said that, but Danny asked, "So?"This time, Harry was confused. "There's nothing else. Giselle is Chet's wife. So, it's normal for her to address him as her husband."Then, Harry took a few steps back. After making sure that it was a safe distance, he acted serious and said sincerely, "Danny, can you not be so old-fashioned? You need to catch up to the young people's trends."Danny's eyelid twitched in annoyance. "Harry!" But Harry had already run away. He only left behind an echo as he called, "Danny, I'm going to the hospital now. You should continue your work!"Danny was at a loss for words. Harry always had a knack for making people worry. Danny decided to forget about it and finish his work quickly. Then, he drove to the hospital alone.At the same time, the police had arrived at the hospital. Jasmine, who tried to harass Chester, was successfully apprehended. The apple in her mouth was taken out. B

    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 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.

    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?

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.
