Lawson Manor was located in the busiest spot in Seaworth City. So, every inch of space taken up by the manor was worth a fortune, making it out of almost everyone's league.

Right at that moment, the tension in the manor's living room was high. As soon as Jonathan walked in, a stack of papers was thrown in his face.

"Jonathan Lawson, get down on your knees!"

Richard sat on the couch with his staff in his hand. His snowy-white hair was combed back impeccably, and his face was full of anger.

Jonathan had no idea why. "Grandpa, what have I done wrong?"

"Has Gigi broken up with you?"

Jonathan hadn't told Richard about the breakup. He thought that Giselle was just throwing a tantrum and would soon come begging to get back together with him. So, there had been no need for him to tell anyone about it.

But now…

Jonathan frowned. "Did Giselle tell you?"

Jonathan's attitude only sent Richard into further depths of fury. Since he was so worked up, he held a hand to his chest and started c

    Giselle had come to return Jonathan's black card. She had packed up and cleared out everything at home. She was planning to sell the condominium as soon as she found herself a place to stay.However, as soon as she set foot inside Lawson Manor, the first thing she heard was "I got bitten by a kitten."Who got bitten by a kitten?Giselle's brain malfunctioned for a short while before she finally understood what Chester had meant. Her gaze landed on the bite mark on Chester's arm. Then, she immediately flushed red.Seeing this, Jonathan understood everything at once. He was seething with rage. He glared angrily at Chester and gritted his teeth. "Uncle Chester, you already have a partner. Shouldn't you stay away from other women?"The last time he went to Chester's house, he'd hear a woman coughing and also saw the women's shoes at the door. Everything showed that Chester was not single.Chester clicked his tongue and looked at the furious Jonathan with a confused look. "Oh, so yo

    Giselle had used up a majority of her savings in her past relationship.As of now, the only money she had to her name was whatever payment Emma had settled. So, Giselle was going to have to spend frugally before she found herself a stable job.Land was precious in Seaworth City, so it was only natural that it was a very expensive place to rent. Also, Chester came from a wealthy background. Whatever friends he had would have to be from the same level as he was.Giselle could sense something fishy from the get-go. Without even looking at the rental price, it didn't make sense that wealthy people like Chester's friend would want to rent their places out."It's a seaside villa. The rental is 300 dollars a month."Giselle was speechless. She was now more sure than ever that something fishy was going on.How could a seaside villa only be rented out for 300 dollars a month? Did Chester think she was just born yesterday?300 dollars wouldn't even get her a grass hut in Seaworth City.A

    The screen showed someone's dating app profile with a full page of text in the introduction part.Giselle gave the long text a quick once-over and managed to catch the most important part. The paragraph said that both parties were to continue keeping their finances separate and pay for everything separately even after their marriage.Was this prospect even worth considering after reading this term?Giselle asked, "Are you sure this person is trying to score a date instead of a roommate?"She was a relationship counselor. However, people usually misunderstood and thought that she was a matchmaker.At first, Giselle would explain the differences between being a relationship counselor and a professional matchmaker. However, when people started paying her to be a matchmaker, Giselle just shrugged and accepted her fate.After all, both jobs were kind of related to each other anyway. There wasn't too much of a difference.Emma clicked her tongue and said, "I can already see how stingy

    Hector knew that the people from the elite social circle wouldn't dare to talk bad about Chester behind his back. However, that didn't mean they would spare Giselle from their mockery and ridicule.He knew they would think Giselle got together with Chester through questionable means. They would deem her shameless for trying to get Chester to support her. In other words, only Giselle would be on the losing end of this situation."There's no hurry," Chester said, his voice low. He then took a sip of coffee and said, "I was the one who liked her first. I won't allow anyone to hurt her with their words."Giselle only deserved nice things, after all."So you're planning to lure her into your trap very slowly? Aren't you worried that someone will get to her before you've even reached your goal?""That's impossible," Chester said with much certainty.Hector continued running his big mouth. "Why is it impossible? Giselle's taste in men is quite terrible, after all. Why else would she i

    Giselle nearly thought that she'd heard Chester wrongly. She'd seen landlords raise their prices at the second inquiry—never before had she heard of one who'd insist on the same low rent.Who was the crazy one here? Herself or Chester?Chester continued, "My friend only needs 300 dollars. If he receives too much money, his numbers won't tally, and he'll need to answer to his wife."He spoke so calmly and matter-of-factly that he didn't look like he was lying. Although what he said was ridiculous, Giselle couldn't help but wonder if it could be a real offer.After all, who said that rich, wealthy people couldn't be afraid of their spouses?Giselle forced herself to believe Chester for the time being. If she were to reject him again, then she would be the one who didn't know what was good for her. After all, she didn't have plans to leave Seaworth City at the moment.Giselle signed the contract that very night. Hector was the acting landlord, and his head was still in a blur when h

    The weather was close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Giselle didn't really plan on going out.Still, she decided to meet Emma for breakfast. She then brought her tablet over to the beanbag couch and sat down, facing the rippling blue sea from beyond the floor-length windows.She took a photo of the scenery outside the window and uploaded it to her social media account.The first person to like the photo was Chester. Giselle stared at his name for a long while. It wasn't until Emma suddenly messaged her with a livestream video link that she suddenly snapped back to her senses.Emma was in the livestream video, answering the audiences' questions on the screen. Giselle looked through the questions and saw that most of them were related to divorce."…Make sure to compile all evidence of our husband cheating on you. Then, get a good lawyer who will fight for all your rights. Illegitimate children have the right to inherit the family's wealth. This is protected by law."Giselle watc

    Linda stormed into the room, fuming with rage. The moment she spotted Giselle, she slapped her across the face without hesitation.But things didn't go as Linda had expected. Giselle quickly grabbed her wrist, stopping another slap.The pain twisted Linda's face in discomfort. There was no trace of the elegant, high-society lady she usually prided herself on."Giselle Stone! Are you trying to pick a fight? You hit Lottie, and now you want to hit me?"Linda had come to defend Charlotte. After Giselle blocked all their contacts, Linda had to resort to hiring a private detective to track her down. Finally catching her, she had driven through several red lights to get there.But Giselle stood there, calm and composed, despite all the insults and rants from Linda. She shoved Linda's hand away. Her eyes narrowed with a sharp, mocking gaze as she said, "You should take your meds before you leave, Mrs. Grant."The best kind of insult was one without curse words.Linda's impulsive sl

    Linda swiped her arm across the table to knock everything to the floor. Soup splattered everywhere, even staining Giselle's pants.Emma, standing by the door, narrowly avoided the mess."Giselle Stone! Without the Lawson family backing you, you're nothing! If I were you, I'd keep my head down and play nice. If it weren't for Lottie's generosity, do you think you could still stay in Seaworth City?"Charlotte's whole persona was that of an innocent, sweet, kind lady. After being away for over 20 years, she was still magnanimous toward the person who stole her life. Everyone praised her for having a heart of gold. Giselle couldn't stand people like that.She clicked her tongue. "Who says I can't find a new backer now that the Lawson family's out of the picture?"For a few seconds, silence fell. Then Linda snarled, "You shameless bitch! Who'd even want you?"Her insults grew nastier by the second.Emma was about to snap, but Giselle beat her to it. She picked up a used napkin from

    Giselle looked uncaring, but her words and actions were the complete opposite. When she went all out, no one could get in her way. All three people in front of her had witnessed it before.When she uttered that last sentence, they all recalled bad memories at the same time. Among the three of them, Jonathan had the most terrible look on his face. He looked so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain over his head soon.At that moment, Giselle clearly had the situation in her control.Just as the mood was feeling tense, Charlotte received a call, and her face visibly turned pale. Then, her shoulders started trembling, and she looked weak.Vivian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Lottie? You look terrible. Do you feel unwell?"Hearing that, Jonathan finally looked away from Giselle. He moved his fingers a little, but he didn't support Charlotte at all.Charlotte's eyes teared up as she glared at Giselle. Then, she choked weakly, "Giselle! When did I ever mess with you? I did e

    "Mr. Lawson, please donate your eyes to someone who needs them if you won't use them yourself."After Giselle said that, she put her phone away and lazily stood there. She didn't look scared at all when three people were attacking her.The more she acted that way, the more frustrated Jonathan felt. He didn't understand why she was still so arrogant when she clearly had nothing left. He wondered who gave her the confidence to act that way. Was it Chester?Not only did Chester not help her with the cyberbullying this time, but he even made things worse for her. So, Jonathan had to eliminate him as a possibility. In which case, who else could it be?Suddenly, Harry's name popped into Jonathan's mind, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made a sound. Then, he said with a scoff, "You sure are capable, Giselle!"Jonathan thought Giselle was more active than a social butterfly for changing partners nonstop. He couldn't believe she would actually go for someone as young as

    Jonathan had appeared behind Giselle. His dashing face looked gloomy, and his sharp gaze looked hostile."Jonathan!" Charlotte called out in excitement. Her eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior.Vivian poked her head out from behind and comforted Charlotte, "Don't worry, Lottie. Jon is here to save you!"Hearing that, Charlotte finally stopped feeling anxious.Meanwhile, Giselle held back her urge to laugh. She took two steps forward and got closer to Jonathan. Then, she scoffed and turned around, saying mockingly, "It looks like you're having difficulty hearing at such a young age, Mr. Lawson. I'm talking about teaching your darling a lesson, of course!"She thought Charlotte was being too naive in thinking that she was saved with Jonathan here. Even if an actual god was here, Charlotte would still have to pay for what she had done."Play nice, Giselle!" Jonathan's head was throbbing when he heard Giselle's sarcastic words. He didn't walk to Charlotte's side. Instead, he ju

    Jonathan stood tall with his jacket hung on his arm. He looked elegant as he walked anxiously into the station. After scanning the room, he saw Vivian walking toward him."Jon, how did you know I was here? I was just about to call you!"Among all the people in the Lawson family, Vivian looked up to her brother the most. He was dashing and capable; she was proud to call him her brother.When she first learned that Jonathan was dating Giselle, she threw a tantrum and didn't want to eat for three days. After realizing that no one cared about her, she started messing with Giselle in the dark.At first, she would hold herself back, thinking that Giselle was the daughter of the Grant family. When the true daughter of the Grants showed up, she became out of control.As the daughter of the Lawsons, she would always look down on Giselle and oppress her. When she saw Giselle submissively enduring it, Vivian despised her even more. There was no way Vivian would let Giselle become her sister-

    Vivian laughed as she gloated, and the anger within her faded a little."Serves you right!" she exclaimed, thinking that Giselle couldn't check into a room with Harry now.Lindsay was speechless. She knew how arrogant Vivian could be, but she never expected the latter to be that petty. She put on her headphones and said, "I have to leave now. Vivian, don't call me over something like this in the future."From what Lindsay could tell, Vivian was just being unreasonable. When Lindsay stood there, she felt extremely awkward.Vivian turned to her and asked, "Linds, aren't you going to check out the situation with me?"Lindsay placed her hands in her pockets and walked away. "No, thanks. I'm busy."When she was called, Lindsay thought Vivian was being beaten up by someone. However, it turned out to be something trivial.Feeling upset, Vivian pouted her lips and mumbled, "Why is she so cocky?" Then, she got into a taxi and hurriedly went to the police station.…When Giselle saw the

    Lindsay was stunned when she heard that, thinking that Vivian was out of her mind.A suppressed feeling resurfaced when Lindsay heard Vivian spreading such a scandalous thing. She pursed her lips and coldly asked, "Who did you call?""My brother and uncle!" said Vivian.Lindsay understood why Vivian would call Jonathan, but she didn't understand why Vivian would tell Chester about it as well. After all, from what she knew, Giselle had nothing to do with the Fordhams.Vivian could tell Lindsay was confused, and she put on a pitiful act. "I've forgotten to tell you something, Linds. Your family has been attacked."Lindsay became even more confused when she heard that. "What do you mean?""My uncle, who is your cousin, has been seduced by Giselle!"…Harry and Giselle stood by the road as they waited for the driver to bring the car around.Harry was wearing a black hoodie that complemented his figure. His tan skin showed how energetic he was. He was on his phone when he suddenly

    Giselle wondered if Vivian was blind. As she stared at Vivian, her gaze went cold, and she deemed the younger girl to be an idiot.Lindsay was silent for a long time. Her gaze moved back and forth between Giselle and Harry, and she noticed they both looked beautiful and dashing respectively. So, when they stood together, nothing seemed wrong to her.Despite that, she thought it didn't seem likely that what Vivian said was true. Instead of a couple, Giselle and Harry looked more like siblings to her.Lindsay fell into a deep thought. She wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she thought those two looked a little identical.When Vivian noticed Lindsay wasn't saying anything, she became anxious. "Linds, you have to help me!"Lindsay helplessly shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do, Vivian. Do you have any proof that there's something fishy going on between them?"Vivian was stunned by the question. After stuttering for a while, she still couldn't answer Lindsay. Everything

    Vivian was certain that Harry didn't know about Giselle's true colors. She believed Giselle to be a disgusting piece of trash who didn't know her place. In her mind, Giselle was crazy for seducing another man right after leaving Jonathan and even seducing her uncle!The more Vivian thought about it, the angrier she was. She couldn't understand why all those men would be that interested in Giselle. After all, Giselle didn't look that beautiful in her opinion. As Vivian stared at Giselle, her gaze was filled with jealousy.Harry said in confusion, "I know that. Why did you suddenly bring that up, Vivian?"He might be erratic, but it didn't mean he was a fool. He had looked into Giselle's past before, and he had an idea about who she was.Vivian looked into his eyes and said sternly, "She was my brother's fiancée, and she's almost 25 years old. Don't you think you should stay away from her?"Hearing that, Harry frowned. He thought Vivian was being ridiculous."Vivian, have you not k

    Giselle lifted her chin a little and looked at Vivian meaningfully. "So you want to join us, huh?"Vivian felt provoked, and she gritted her teeth hard. "I'm sure you won't mind, right?"As she spoke, she smiled hideously. At that moment, she was focusing on Giselle so much that she had forgotten about Harry. His gaze was filled with disgust as he looked at her.Giselle pretended to think about it and acted like she was in a difficult spot. After a moment, she said with a frown, "But you'll be in our way."It was an ambiguous sentence. When Vivian heard that, she was even more certain that Giselle was interested in Harry. With that thought in mind, she silently cursed. Vivian was so furious that she was about to explode. However, the angrier she got, the more satisfied Giselle became.Vivian clenched her fists tightly and did her best to suppress the anger within her. She gritted her teeth and tried again. "Giselle, I'm a quiet person, so I won't disturb you two."Then, Giselle p
