Chapter 257

Author: DuckDuckJoe
"Jonathan, I'm sorry. If I did anything to upset you, I'll apologize. Please don't be like this…" Charlotte's tears were falling even more intensely.

Ever since her transformation, she had made herself out to be the ultimate beauty. But after the slap and splashing of the drink on her face, her teary face looked a little funny.

A trace of repulsion flashed across Jonathan's eyes. "Ms. Grant, there are a lot of people here. Are you sure that you want me to expose all the things you've done?" His deep voice pressed down on Charlotte like a huge mountain.

She had sent Jonathan the text message so that he would come to defend her. It was not so that he could destroy her reputation and status!

Charlotte had become afraid. She began trembling all over before she ran away in tears.

With one of the main protagonists gone, the topic of discussion shifted back to Wendy and the rest.

While the entire fiasco with Charlotte was happening, Wendy had already made up her mind.

    Giselle answered the call, and she could hear the sound of a commotion."You little brat. Don't you know whose territory you're on?""It's the Fordham's. What about it? Are you going to tell on me?"I'd like to see for myself if you even have the chance to!""You'd better not run away!"Giselle looked at the caller ID first. She then frowned. "Lindsay?"There was no answer. All she could hear was muffled noise in the background.Giselle did not hang up the phone. Instead, she went to look for Chester.Her arrival came as a surprise to him as Chester was just about to send her a text message. She arrived even before he hit send.At this very moment, he was the only person inside the ward."My dear—" Chester had just called when an eager Giselle interrupted him, saying, "Mr. Fordham, do you have Tony's contact?"If she remembered correctly, Tony was an accomplished hacker. She urgently needed someone with this set of skills to help her locate Lindsay's location.It did not ta

    Giselle ignored Tony's commentary and urged him to call the police.Tony replied, "Chet's already reported it to the police. He even called for backup."Hopefully, Lindsay could hang in there until they arrived. But why did it have to be that place again? Tony had an older brother who also had something happen to him at this very place.Someone had impaled him in the chest with a steel pipe. When he was sent to the hospital, they could not save him and pronounced him dead.For the Quinton family, that day felt like hell had descended on Earth.Back when he still had an older brother, Tony could do whatever he wanted. But now that his brother was gone, and his parents were getting older, the Quinton family needed an heir.There was no one else but Tony who could assume the position as the heir of the Quinton family. Thus, he gave up his passion and learned how to manage his family's business.Now, Lindsay was inside that very factory.They had no intel on the exact situation. Al

    With an innocent expression on his face, Tony raised his hands and mouthed, "It wasn't me." He did not even move an inch."Who's there? Little brat, let's see how well you can hide! No one will come here to save you even if you were to scream your lungs out!"Giselle silently withdrew her gaze and unwittingly clenched the steel pipe tightly in her hands. Tony did the same. They held their breaths as the burly men shone their flashlights in their direction.The shadows on the ground were inching closer.Tony took a deep breath. He was so nervous that his palms began sweating. Right when he had decided to swing the steel pipe, the man's comrade yelled, "Boss! We got her! She's been hiding in here!"The extremely loud knocking sound made the hair on their arms stand.Lindsay had been hiding inside a large pipe. She had bent her knees and shrunk herself into a ball. Her face instantly turned pale. Her shoulders were stained with blood, and her breathing had become weak.The big men

    As the engine roared to life, the scenery outside blurred into a continuous stream. Tony looked out the window, appearing despondent.After Giselle plugged in her phone to charge it, she asked, "Do you… know about Lindsay now?"When they'd stepped into the factory earlier, she'd noticed something wrong with Tony.He clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned pale from the pressure. Forcing a smile, he pretended to be relaxed. "I'm actually fine. It's just my brother… He was stabbed to death here."After Tony's older brother, George Quinton, was stabbed to death, the scene kept replaying in Tony's mind like a never-ending nightmare. For a year, Tony had to rely on medication to continue living. Whenever he couldn't sleep, he would take sleeping pills and melatonin. It only got better after some time.Giselle apologized and stopped asking further questions. It would be forgivable to ask about someone's hurtful past by accident. But if she kept prying after learning what happened,

    Vivian and Lindsay weren't really best friends. After what happened at the hospital last time, their relationship had begun to change. Although they were in the same class at school, they had never sought each other out at all.Vivian never wanted to lose a friend like Lindsay. After all, Lindsay was the only one who Vivian could share her feelings with. Most importantly, Lindsay only liked girls! Since their interests were different, they could avoid liking the same person.So, when Vivian learned that Lindsay was hurt and hospitalized, she skipped school the next day to go to the hospital. Vivian arrived with a fruit basket and some gifts, and the visit started peacefully. However, she accidentally said something to infuriate Lindsay.Vivian's face fell as she looked at the glass shards on the ground. As the daughter of the great Lawson family, she had her own pride to defend."Stop being so arrogant, Lindsay! I've come all the way here to visit you, and this is how you thank me,

    "Vivian, did your brother forget to tie you up at home? Is that why you're here barking at someone else?"Giselle was subtly calling Vivian a bitch. Since they already had a grudge between them, it only became worse after Giselle said that. So, Vivian redirected all the anger she had for Lindsay toward Giselle and glared at her."Giselle! You sure like appearing before me, don't you? You can say whatever you want, but you'll never be able to marry into the Lawsons again!"Vivian had spent a lot of money to learn more about Giselle's sudden change in personality. From what she heard, Giselle was just playing hard to get to gain more attention. After that, Vivian analyzed the situation herself and realized that was exactly what was happening.She didn't believe anyone would be able to change that drastically unless Giselle had been putting on an act the whole time. However, it was clear to Vivian that Giselle wasn't acting as she didn't think Giselle was capable of doing such a thing

    Giselle started coughing violently when she heard that. After all, it was shocking to hear a young lady like Lindsay tell her to get married.Giselle thought her relationship with Chester was a well-kept secret, but it seemed to her that everyone had already found out about it.Her relationship with Jonathan was a thing of the past, and Chester was now her official boyfriend."Even if he's not around, no one will dare bully me."Giselle had already thought about it a long time ago. Wealth and power would always be important in modern society. She might not be able to have both of them, but she had nothing to worry about by herself. If she needed help, she could just ask the people around her for backup.People would often say that one shouldn't mess with a lunatic, and there was a valid reason for that.Lindsay didn't believe that Giselle didn't have special feelings for Chester. Despite being a young lady herself, Lindsay was actually more mature than anyone could've imagined. T

    Giselle didn't know what Lindsay's relationship with George was. After she spoke, Lindsay's mind went blank for a moment.Giselle figured Lindsay needed some time alone, so she left the ward. As soon as she closed the door, she ran into Jean, who was there to visit Lindsay. Compared to their previous encounter, it seemed to Giselle that Jean looked a little drained.Dark circles had formed under Jean's eyes, and she forced a smile when she saw Giselle. "Hey, Gigi. Are you here to visit Linds as well?""Yes, but she's not feeling great right now, Mrs. Lawson."Jean understood what she was trying to say. "In that case, shall we visit Chester first?"Giselle was already planning on that, so she went to Chester's ward with Jean. While they were on their way there, Jean received a call. She was already in bad shape before the call came, and when she hung up, she looked even worse.Giselle noticed this and pondered for a moment. Then, she decided to ask, "What's wrong, Mrs. Lawson?"J

    Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything.

It had been edited to look like he was the hero coming to his damsel's rescue.With the accompaniment of some background

    In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle. But if he was so madly in love with her, why did he cheat on her?And if he was not madly in love with her, then why had he not gotten over her yet?But wait. The reason he was still not over her was mainly due to t

    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 had she ever shown him this violent side of her?There was one incident that left a deep impression in Jonathan's mind. It was during their senior year.Giselle had been picked on by people from other schools. The moment he heard about this, he became so furious that he stormed over to the other school right away to fight them.If Giselle had always been such a violent person, why was she even picked on in the first place?Jonathan stared at Giselle with deep contemplation.Giselle stared back at him.

    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. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.She was about to berate Lana when Giselle suddenly got up from her seat, filled the cup in front of her with water, and threw it at Lana's face.Lana screamed. With the racket she was making, the entire situation became chaotic.This particular moment happened to be captured by the local fans.The live stream chat box was in a frenzy, and the audience wished

    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? I need to vent or I might die of cardiac arrest.""What a shameless jerk!"The cha

    These five minutes were unusually agonizing for the netizens who were waiting restlessly for the tea.At long last, footsteps could be heard approaching from behind. 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. Only when he had stepped in front of her did he realize that Penny had company. Next to her were two unfamiliar faces.One of them looked to be in her 30s. She exuded elegance and looked like someone of a prominent status.The other one looked like she was in her 20s and was really stunning.Amazement flashed across Zayn Carter's eyes before he quickly recomposed himself.While he was looking at Giselle and the others, they were also studying him.His eyebrows were well-defined, and he had broad shoulders and a sl

    Moira's smile was gentle. Her gaze toward Giselle was filled with kindness.Giselle nodded. "That seems to be the case."The fact that they bumped into each other for such a specific event had to be fate. Because how else could one explain such a coincidence?While they waited for the adulterers to arrive, Giselle updated her status beforehand."This afternoon's drama.
