Chapter 242

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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. Sebastian

    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. Although it sounde

    "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 unclear when Chester had woken up. His face was still extremely pale. With dark eyes, he stared at Harry.At that, Harry shuddered. "C-Chet, why didn't you say anything if you're up?" It was horrifying! Thankfully, he didn't have any heart illness. Otherwise, he would have suffered from cardiac arrest then and there.Chester lowered his head and coughed. Because of that, his wound was affected. His face then turned even paler.Giselle quickly reached out to rub his chest. "Are you alright?"Although her voice was cold, there was concern behind it. Chester was easily moved by this. With a hoarse voice, he answered, "It only hurts a little. Don't worry."Giselle pressed the bell at the head of the bed. A few minutes later, Hector and the medical team entered the ward. Harry and Giselle went outside to give the doctors and Chester some privacy. It was only then that Harry let out a sigh of relief.Upon seeing Harry's behavior, Giselle smiled. Aside from their first meetin

    Linda shouted at Wendy and Anthony like the shrewish woman that she was. Because she hadn't been maintaining her face with treatments for half a month, her old age was evident, and her face was distorted. She didn't look like a pampered, wealthy woman at all.Previously, Charlotte had accompanied Linda to the hospital for a follow-up checkup. When Linda fainted out of anger, the doctor said that she had breast hyperplasia and that she should have checkups regularly. Such a major issue was out of her expectations. Yarick wasn't Sebastian's son, after all! So, how could she tolerate it? Of course, she couldn't. She directly dragged Charlotte to look for Wendy. Without giving anyone a chance to react, she slapped Wendy hard across the face.Harold, who was standing to the side, had a ghastly expression on. He scolded in a low voice, "Linda, that's enough!""Enough? Harold, are you protecting your mistress' son? Don't forget who helped you resolve Grant Group's financial crisis with f

    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.
