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
That crisp sound of a slap brought existing resentment to new heights.With the exception of Giselle and Emma, almost everyone else was startled by this sudden turn of events.Charlotte, who had just been slapped, was in utter disbelief as she held a hand to her cheek. Her face became increasingly flushed, and the throbbing pain made her feel even more humiliated.Wendy recovered from the shock and muttered, "Gigi…"Giselle loosened her hold on Wendy. With a nonchalant attitude and an icy cold gaze, she looked at Charlotte as if she was an ant."Think of it as a free facial massage. You're welcome."Some people could never say anything nice, so something had to be done.Charlotte had always been such a person. While her parents and brother would always spoil her, Giselle would never.Charlotte was just picking on those weaker than her.She could see that Wendy was a softie who was an easy target. That was why she went all out and used harsh words, verbally abusing her.It was
Arriving at this thought, Giselle took a glance at Anthony's charming face out of the corner of her eyes. She could only think about what a waste it was; she did not say anything out loud. Once again, Giselle placed her attention back on the four Grants in front of her. Having been provoked incessantly, Harold's hand began to rise with intent. However, he saw the nurse approaching with a team of security personnel. He had no choice but to lower his hand.The nurse had come over to tell them off sternly for having caused a commotion."I don't care if you have unfinished business or family drama that hasn't been resolved. This is a hospital! The patients and their family members need to rest. If you're going to fight, please take it outside. Otherwise, I'm going to have these guards take you out."The hospital was a sacred place. It was not some random place where they could just wreak havoc and leave.The nurse had also been observing in secret. It was obvious that the Grants ha
Meanwhile, after doing the checkup at Chester's ward, Hector had everyone leave the room. Then, he pulled a chair over and sat by the bed."Chet, you should stop running around and just rest. Otherwise, Giselle's gonna run away with some other guy, and when that time comes, you won't even be able to chase after her."His wound kept getting torn open. It was undeniable that Chester was a ruthless person.As a doctor, Hector only spoke the truth. He did not exaggerate one bit.The wound was already in a compromised position. If the recovery period was prolonged and the wound was not healed, there could be irreversible consequences. He did not want to be held responsible for this.Hector managed to secure a cold look from Chester, but he was already used to this. He took this opportunity to tell Chester about the things that happened with Wendy and the rest. He might not be entirely sure of the exact details, but his intuition told him that there had to be an astronomical secret in
The day after, Anthony intended for Sebastian to catch him coming out of Wendy's room. He had initially expected Sebastian to kick up a huge fuss. He did not expect Sebastian to keep it all to himself.Everything was out of Anthony's expectations. It was not until Wendy gave birth to Yarick that Anthony realized he'd messed up his plans. He had secretly done a paternity test and found out that Yarick was his biological son.It was obvious that Sebastian knew about this as well. However, he still chose not to say anything and decided to just pretend that Yarick was his son.Suddenly, the sound of a slap was heard. This time, it was not from Giselle.It was a slap from Wendy to Anthony. Everything became silent.Anthony prodded his inner cheek with the tip of his tongue. His eyes were lowered as he said nothing.With a trembling voice, Wendy yelled angrily, "You're a monster!"Her perfect life had been completely ruined by Anthony! It was the Grants that he had enmity with, so why
Everyone there knew who Jonathan was, but it was not the right timing. Other than Charlotte, no one went up to greet him."Jonathan…" Charlotte extended her arms and cried out piteously.Instantly, Jonathan frowned. A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. He took a step back to avoid Charlotte's hand.Her expression froze instantaneously.Jonathan then said, "Ms. Grant, please. Have some self-respect."These words took everyone, including Giselle, by surprise. Everyone knew about the little 'situation' between Jonathan and Charlotte. It was just that nobody had dared to talk about it behind their backs due to Jonathan's background. All this while, Jonathan had intimately addressed Charlotte. Why did he suddenly address her as 'Ms. Grant' today? Did the two fight? This was the first guess that popped up in everyone's mind. Charlotte looked at Jonathan in disbelief as she whined, "Jonathan…"A few minutes ago, she had sent Jonathan a text message. She had asked him to come
Jonathan would transfer an allowance to Giselle every month. Other than that, he also gave her a black card without a spending limit. But when they broke up, she'd returned everything to him. As it turned out, she never touched a single cent belonging to him.Presently, he was frustrated for a long while, wondering if Giselle was trying to scam some money out of him."If you don't want to pay, you can head back to your car. However, I should remind you that the option doesn't seem available anymore."He was left speechless when he heard that, thinking that her words made no difference. "A million dollars," he offered."Three million dollars," she answered.Jonathan's face fell. "Two million."With that, Giselle was satisfied, and she unlocked the doors. "Deal!"Meanwhile, Chris was at a loss for words while witnessing everything.After Jonathan got in the backseat, Giselle reluctantly gave him a friendly reminder for the sake of the promised two million dollars. "Put on your se
Jonathan was only wearing a green sweater in the frigid weather. His whole body was cold, and his face was pale. He knocked on the car window so hard that his knuckles turned red, yet he didn't stop pounding against it. To put it simply, he was now infuriated.After all, he was supposed to return to the hotel. However, a car suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he bumped his forehead hard when the driver slammed on the brakes. The warm blood around his wound had already dried up, and he looked terrifying."I'm telling you to get out! Didn't you hear me, you—"Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly stunned silent. When the car window rolled down, he saw Giselle's familiar face, looking pale as the headlights shone from the car in front of her. There was no emotion in her beautiful eyes. Her hair was in a mess, and she just coldly looked at him.Giselle was a little surprised to see Jonathan there. She never thought she'd still have to see his annoying face when she was
"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. Since Giselle wasn't familiar with the area and didn't have any navigat
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
