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

    The person standing at her door was none other than Jonathan Lawson, who still had his hospital gown on. His face was pale, and his forehead tightly knitted.The moment he saw that it was Giselle, a spark of surprise flashed across his dark pupils."Gigi!"He reached out, wanting to hold Giselle's hand, but was immediately met by the woman's retreat. In that doe eyes of her was pure repugnance.Jonathan's hand instantly froze mid-air.His pupils constricted. Oddly, a sense of unfamiliarity washed over him as he stared at Giselle's face.But they had been just fine yesterday. Jonathan was confused.Ever since he woke up, everything around him felt strange.Everyone looked so much older, including himself. The youthful look had faded from his face, making him look more like a grown-up.Even Giselle looked different from what he remembered.Jean had told him that he and Giselle had already broken up and that he shouldn't go looking for her.But Jonathan found it ridiculous.He

    Emma and Giselle spent most of the evening talking about the Lawsons. Only a small fraction of the time was spent discussing the Stones.Rumor had it that the Stones found their long-lost daughter. As for why it had not been announced yet, the rumors varied.Even after listening to the rumors from her colleagues the entire day, Emma was not able to get a clear picture. This was why she decided she might as well look for Giselle to have an in-depth discussion the entire night."Yeah. The results of the paternity test are out. I'm not related to the Stones." Giselle said this with an indifferent expression on her face.She took a sip of the beer. It burned a little as it traveled down her throat.For a while, Emma was stunned. "Not related? That's impossible. You look just like them…"Even though she had never met Lyla before, her sixth sense as a woman told her that Giselle was the real heiress of the Stones."There are so many people in this world who look alike. Would you say t

    It had been almost a year since Chester returned to the country. Hence, it was odd for Jonathan to have asked Chester that question. Later, it was the doctor's explanation that unraveled the confusion that he and Jean had."It seems like he has amnesia."Chester pondered further, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes. The term "amnesia" did not seem appropriate in this context.Jonathan did not forget anyone. He just had his memory reset to the time he was 18 years old.Back then, the love Jonathan and Giselle shared was for the movie screens, and everyone envied them.Giselle's brows furrowed. "Amnesia?"All Angela did was slip him a few love bugs. What did she do to make him lose his memories?Unless… Jonathan was putting on an act."Yeah. The doctor said that it was trauma-induced. They're not sure when he will recover."Giselle did not linger on this question any further.Chester continued, "Oh, another thing. The paternity test results are out."As soon as he sa

    Chester did not elaborate further.This made Harry itch with curiosity.Giselle pushed back her live broadcast work and agreed to go with them.Harry pestered Chester like an annoying pest, but Chester remained tight-lipped, his face cold and stern."Chet, just tell me already!"With Harry's persistent pestering, Chester became annoyed and said, "It's the first day of school, and you're itching to get a day off, are you?"It was way past the new year.The seniors were all going back to school and preparing for the brutal examination that was to come in June.Harry was not the least bit concerned.Since he could not get good grades for the life of him, he thought he might as well find some other way to make a living. Harry could find out where his passion lay and how he would turn it into a career. Fortunately, he had a few older brothers. Otherwise, he would surely have suffered a great deal!Harry immediately pulled a long face. "Chet, can you not rub salt on my wound?""

    With the sudden mention of Jonathan's name, Giselle narrowed her eyes."What about him?"Jean was silent for a moment. There seemed to be a lot on her mind as she recalled how Jonathan looked when he woke up.After a brief moment, she said, "You'll know when you see him."It wasn't that Jean didn't want to tell Giselle. She simply did not know how to.After all, the fact that he was suffering from memory deterioration was simply too inconceivable.The doctor said it did not affect his intelligence, only that his memory had regressed to a certain age. As for how long it would take to recover, the doctors were not able to give a definite answer.With Jean hanging up the phone, Giselle had a bad feeling.Nevertheless, she did not give it much thought.After all, she and Jonathan had completely fallen out. It would be downright brazen of him to get any nearer to her.Giselle turned off the lights and went to bed.…The next day, her phone was bombarded with missed calls once ag

    Harry: "How'd you know that? Lyla will be using the guest room for the time being as her room's not quite ready yet."The paternity test results for Lyla and the Stones were already out. Logically speaking, Harry should be busy catching up on all the lost time with Lyla. However, for some reason, he just could not bring himself to do that.What's more, Harry would feel uncomfortable anytime he was with Lyla.Being the carefree person he was, Harry had never given much thought to these details. Ultimately, it all came down to the fact that they had hardly spent time together. As such, it was only natural for them to feel distant from each other.But Harry had forgotten something.He'd felt a strong sense of familiarity upon his first meeting with Giselle.Harry: "It's quite late now, so why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking about what happened with the Lawsons today?"The matter regarding Jonathan might not have been spread online, but those who went to the charity banq

    Giselle had just come out of the bathroom when she received this text message.Her long black hair was wet, hanging behind her back as water droplets fell to the ground.The white bathrobe was loosely wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate, fair skin. Her skin was as white as snow, so much so that it was almost dazzling.Chester was asking her how she was planning to deal with Charlotte.Since laws had to be abided by, getting her killed was out of the question.Besides, Giselle did not think death was the best punishment.The most painful form of torture would be to reduce someone to a point where they begged to be killed.Charlotte had the privilege of enjoying a life of luxury and wealth for over two decades as the fake heiress of the Grant family.People often said that going from rags to riches was easy, but going from riches to rags was hard.There was no way the Grants would be able to make a comeback. Presently, they were inundated by a mountain of debt. If no

    The feeling of wanting to escape but not being able to was agonizing.After a while, Angela mustered the courage and said in a trembling voice, "We live in a c-civil society. I could sue you. My husband's from the Lawson family. You can't afford to cross—""Your husband?" Jean could not help but interrupt when she heard those two words.The piercing cold glare in her sharp eyes was comparable to Chester's.There was no doubt that they were siblings."Angela, the divorce certificate hasn't been issued, which means he isn't your husband yet."Knowing Jean's personality, there was absolutely no chance she would get back together with Perry.But that did not stop her from feeling annoyed by Angela.Angela's face instantly turned pale. She bit the bullet and said, "Perry no longer loves you. There's no future for you two, even if you don't get a divorce.""If I don't get the divorce, you'll never be able to be his official wife."Jean hit where it hurt.She had always been strong

    Everyone in the room tensed up upon the sudden mention of Giselle's name.Harry did not think much of it. "Giselle's super nice! The first time we met, she saved my life. If it wasn't for her, none of you would be able to see me today!"He might have exaggerated the story a little. Still, it was evident that Harry liked Giselle a lot.Eugene and Moira knew Harry well. He was a good judge of character. Anyone he claimed to be a good person would turn out to be as such.What's more, seeing Giselle for the first time gave them a sense of familiarity that could not be put into words.Those eyebrows were impeccably refined.It was certainly genetics at work.If not for Lyla and the paternity test report, they might have truly believed that Giselle was their actual child without hesitation.With her hands hidden behind her back, Holly secretly clenched her fists. For a moment, darkness flashed through that gentle expression of hers.It was not until she heard Jackie's voice next to
