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
Chester invited Giselle with a sincere gaze. She was stunned for a few seconds as she looked into his deep, dark eyes. Then, she hurriedly looked away as if she had gotten shocked. Meanwhile, her ears had become red beneath her hair.Giselle curled up her fingers as she forced herself to look calm. She didn't accept the invitation immediately but said, "I'll let you know later. I'm not sure if I'll be available that day."She would be busy with work again after a few days. It had been a couple of weeks since she last posted about taking a break. Her fans had been urging her in the comments to post something new and start livestreaming again.Due to her ethics, she couldn't ignore them forever. No matter what happened, she had to focus on her career. After all, why rely on someone else when she could rely on herself and be independent?"It's alright. Just let me know when you're free, and I'll tell them to have the event on that day."Chester said it so casually that it seemed like
Jean cheered herself up and rejected Chester's help. "You don't have to worry about it. All you have to do now is recover from your injuries. I'll ask Jonathan and the rest to inquire about Perry instead."Chester didn't insist further. Instead, he gave her a good piece of advice. "Gigi's a professional when it comes to things like this, so you can ask her about it, Jean.""You've really fallen in love with her."Jean couldn't believe he would still think about bringing in clients for Giselle at a time like this. He was also proud about it as he said in a deep voice, "I'm willing to fall if it's her."…Meanwhile, Charlotte had been venting her frustrations the whole night yet still hadn't calmed down. In fact, she was on the verge of losing it altogether.She decided to call Jonathan. Initially, she could get hold of him in no time. However, after some time passed, she was greeted by an autonomous voice instead. It seemed Jonathan had blocked her!The only chance for her to cli
The next few days were peaceful.Scabs had formed over Chester's wounds, and the doctor said he could rest at home starting today. The doctor even shot a few knowing glances at Giselle before telling Chester to control his urges and not do anything too intense at home.Since everyone there was an adult, they all knew what the doctor was implying. Giselle was left speechless, wondering if she looked like that kind of person.Sometimes, she hated the fact that everyone had a right to free speech. After all, if no one could speak, then there wouldn't be any conflicts at all.Caroline had come alone that day and was standing nearby. Zachary was suddenly called to work earlier, and he reminded her to have lunch before he left. He even asked her to take a picture of her meal and report to him before she ate.They had been doing these childish acts since they started dating, and they never changed over time. As long as Zachary wasn't beside Caroline, she would also show him what she wa
Giselle was using her back camera for the video call, and when she heard Chester's request, her calm heart started racing.When she didn't say anything for some time, Chester suddenly called for her again. In a hurry, she ended the conversation by saying, "It's getting late, Mr. Fordham. I need to head to bed now. Good night."Thus, she ended the call before he could even say anything.Chester looked at his phone after Giselle had hung up. He pursed his lips and fell into deep thought. Was he being too impatient? But he didn't say anything out of line at all. With that in mind, he figured he had to be a little more reserved next time so that he wouldn't scare her away.…The next day, Giselle woke up and noticed she had more than ten unread messages. First, she decided to send Julia a text, asking her where she was in Anterica. After that, she started replying to the other messages.Chester: "Remember to have breakfast, Gigi. Call me whenever you need anything."Emma: "Gigi, h
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. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today. Videos from the live stream had gone viral.Obviously, it was not from her own live stream but a third party's.Her fans, who had gone down to the location, had captured everything on camera. There was an explosion of comments beneath related videos.One of the videos was of Jonathan. 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. "Fancy getting your as
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. I'm catching adulterers in the wild"These nine words caused her viewership to skyrocket.Aside from money, the only other temptation that humans were not able to resist was gossip.Hidden within the depths of human nature was the desire to gossip. There was no reason for anyone to pass up on drama that was free of charge! Comments began pouring in. "Didn't even need to think twice to skip work. It's only $28 anyway. They can have it!""Catching a homewrecker on live stream? I bet there's going to be a LOT of people. I wonder if the server can handle it? I'm going to cry if it crashes.""Thank God for the co
