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 did not even care to learn how they managed to convince Charlotte to join them.None of it mattered anymore. Their plan was about to fail, after all. Did she seem that weak to them?While she was still deep in thought, there was suddenly the sound of someone kicking at the door. In the midst of that chaos, the sharp voice of a woman could be heard, saying, "Chester, I saw Giselle and Jonathan enter this room with my own eyes!"The door swung open.The bed inside was a mess, but there was no one there.Disarrayed footsteps headed toward the bathroom. Just like that, a group of people appeared in front of Giselle.Finley, who was the leader of the pack, was stunned when she saw that Giselle was still neatly dressed.This was different from what she had imagined!The calm look on Giselle's face did not look like that of someone who had just finished doing the deed. On the other hand, Jonathan, who was lying in the bathtub… looked extremely miserable.The media who had bee

    The room was dimly lit.There was a thick scent of incense in the air. It did not take many inhalations before Giselle started to feel her body getting warm. She quickly covered her nose.Using the only source of light, she squinted her eyes and moved forward.Within seconds, the rough breathing of a man appeared next to her ear.The shadow on the wall was approaching her. When his hand was about to reach her, Giselle dodged to the left with one swift movement, leaving Jonathan embracing the air."Gigi…" The hoarse voice was laced with a hint of lust.The man tugged at the button of his collar as he approached Giselle once again. He was burning all over. It felt like he was being roasted from the inside. He was gradually losing his ability to think rationally.All he could see was the thin figure in front of him.Giselle was left speechless.They had cast a spell on this miserable man because they were not able to do it to her?There was no denying it.

    Angela, Finley, and Charlotte were rendered speechless.This explained why Giselle was able to make so many enemies. Just that mouth of hers could make people abhor her with a burning passion.What now? If Giselle did not go over, they would not be able to carry out their plan!The trio was beginning to grow anxious.Luckily enough, Giselle could sense their desperation. Being merciful, she said, "I mean, I won't go with you unless…"She was undoubtedly baiting them. There was a flash of malice in Angela's eyes as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Unless what?""Unless you let me play with your spell bugs."The moment she finished talking, the lights in the corridor suddenly came back on.Angela's face was as pale as death. How did Giselle know that she practiced witchcraft? She must be trying to trick her!Angela's petite body trembled. Still, she tried her best to maintain a calm composure."W-What spell bug? I don't know what you're talking about…""Oh, really? Then expla

    The crowd was frantic.A tumult of screamings and shoutings bombarded their ears. Chester's voice was swallowed whole by the clamor of the crowd.Giselle moved forward with the flow of the crowd.There was only darkness ahead. Everyone skimmed the walls as they walked. There was a faint source of light in front of them.Before Giselle could even suppress her annoyance, a hand suddenly grabbed onto her wrist.The palm of this person's hand was slightly calloused. Her skin became a little sore from the slight abrasion.It was the hand of a woman.Giselle did not struggle against the woman grabbing her. Instead, she let her pull her forward.They were headed in the opposite direction from everybody else.During this time, Giselle had a sudden moment of clarity.The faint light allowed her to recognize the back and gait of the person in front of her. It revealed the fact that this woman was Angela.Still, Giselle remained unperturbed.As they went up the stairs, the noise and c

    "Mr. and Mrs. Stone, this is my sister, Lyla."Lyla tried her best to smile. In a very soft voice, she greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Stone."Jackie had notified his family members in advance. But now that the actual person was standing in front of them, both Eugene and Moira were surprisingly calm.In short, Lyla felt like a total stranger to them.On the other hand, Giselle seemed profoundly familiar.After having compared the two, both Eugene and Moira kept their true feelings concealed.The news of them finding their long-lost biological daughter had not been made public. They had initially planned to announce the news at the charity banquet.However, they were now having second thoughts."Let's talk about this again when your brother and the others arrive."Upon hearing these words, the smile on Holly's face visibly stiffened. Things were not going according to plan.If she had it her way, the Stones would now be making the public announcement that Lyla was their eldest d

    When Giselle was kicked out of the Grants' house, she had nothing to her name.Now, she seemed to be shamelessly clinging onto Jonathan, someone who had everything. Charlotte hated Giselle's guts.How could she, after leaving the Lawsons' world in shambles, be living her best, carefree life?Giselle should be having the worst, most miserable life in the slums! She should be trampled underneath Charlotte's feet forever!In stark contrast to Charlotte's rage, Giselle was much calmer.Giselle looked askance at Charlotte. With a cold and calm demeanor, she said to Charlotte, "We'll see."With the three women embroiled in the same drama, she was curious to see what interesting events would unfold.Just like that, Giselle disappeared from their sight.Finley stared at Charlotte with disapproval and said, "Wasn't what you just said to Giselle an indirect reminder?"When they first met, she had thought that Charlotte was a smart person. However, as Finley got to know her better, she r

    As the head of the Lawson family, Jonathan found himself at the center of media attention, especially after Giselle and Chester's public display of intimacy at the gala. "Mr. Lawson, who is your date for tonight? Do you have any comments on your ex-fiancée, Ms. Stone?" "How do you feel about your ex and your uncle attending the gala together?" "Mr. Lawson, would you give them your blessings if they were to marry?" "Mr. Lawson…" The relentless questioning further agitated Jonathan, who was already in a foul mood. Just then, a photographer shoved a camera right in his face. Jonathan's eyes narrowed dangerously. He suddenly grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground.The reporters fell silent. Jonathan ignored their stares and strode into the venue, his eyes scanning the place for Giselle and Chester. Despite his search, he constantly found himself intercepted by others. …In a corner of the venue, Charlotte stood alone with a wine glass in hand. As the

    Giselle had only met a few members of the Stone family. The first was Harry. Despite meeting for the first time, it felt as if they had known each other for ages. Many others had also commented on how much she resembled the Stones.Giselle was always curious but never felt the need to find her biological family.Now that Chester had brought it up, Giselle found herself deep in thought. Chester quietly texted on his phone.After a while, he asked again, "Gigi, would you mind if I arranged a DNA test?" They would know if Giselle was the long-lost daughter of the Stone family once the results came back. The daughter they had searched for all these years might have been right in front of them all along. Giselle remembered Harry saying that Lyla's DNA matched the Stone family's. But the documents Chester had shown her… Something was amiss. Lyla and Holly definitely had ulterior motives for infiltrating the Stone family. Thinking of Harry's smile, Giselle agreed to Che

    Chester said, "Harry accidentally spilled water on the guest bed. It's pouring outside… Can I stay at your place tonight, Gigi?"Harry grumbled to himself but eventually gave in, thinking about the money Chester had promised him. "It's all my fault! Giselle, you should let Chet stay the night." Giselle was silent. Something felt off, but she couldn't bring herself to say no. After a moment, she stepped aside. "Come in." Harry also tried to follow them inside, but Chester stopped him. "Head home now. You still have school tomorrow." Chester was firm.Harry was speechless. How could someone be so quick to burn bridges after crossing them? How despicable! After the door closed, Harry turned away and immediately pulled out his phone to vent in their group chat. "Chet is unbelievable! He used his money to force me to act alongside him! Do I look like that kind of person?" Sam: "Did you take the money?"Harry: "Hmph! I maxed out my card. Might as well take it if it's free!"
